30、是描述美国老年人的情况,由 problem 等消极词汇可看出,本句与上文所描述的在一些国家老年人的情况截然不同、形成很大反差。因此该空格处应表转折关系,故 C项 however“然而”正确。(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)A.degradationB.indifference C.humiliationD.degeneration解析:解析:与该空格相对立的词为 glorification(推崇),因此空格处的词应具有消极意义。再结合下文的“让许多老年人疏离人群、倍加孤单”,选项中能与该内容呼应的是 B 项 indifference“不关心”,作者用社会对年轻人的推崇来突出社会对老年人的漠不
31、关心。(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)A.integrate B.divideC.agitateD.disturb解析:解析:空格前提及“将家中的老年成员送到养老院中”,这会让老人孤独,语义上消极。rather than 提示下文情况应表示“积极语义”,因此应选具有积极色彩的词,A 项 integrate sthsbinto表示“合并,融合”,符合本句语境。(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)A.selectionB.discriminationC.separation D.prejudice解析:解析:本句中再现了前一句的内容,即这是一种把老年人与年轻人分开的做法,由此可判断 C 项sepa

33、.sinceB.in whereC.where D.which解析:解析:分析句子结构,空格所在句为定语从句,且该从句的主干完整,因此引导词应在句中充当状语,此外,先行词 retirement communities 表示地点,因此选 C 项 where,相当于 in which,故 C 正确。(13).【C13】(分数:2.00)A.convenience B.revivalC.liberationD.luxury解析:解析:根据本句末的 close to home(离家里近)可判断,A 项 convenience“方便”正确。(14).【C14】(分数:2.00)A.entertainme

36、选 A 项 because“因为”。(19).【C19】(分数:2.00)A.strong B.weakC.fierceD.violent解析:解析:根据下文的 common 以及不定式结构 to support to establish 可知,孩子与父母及亲戚之间有很亲密的关系和很强的责任感,故 A 项 strong“强烈的”正确。(20).【C20】(分数:2.00)A.havingB.to have C.haveD.had解析:解析:本句的真实主语包含了三个并列不定式成分,to support,to establish,由此可知此处应采用与其他两个成分相同的不定式结构,故 B 项 to
