【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，“回巢族”子女在大學畢業(yè)后回到父母身邊生活對家庭是有好處的，他們會與父母建立更親密、更具支持性的關(guān)系，并增進兩代人之間的聯(lián)系。而這一發(fā)現(xiàn)與今年早些時候發(fā)表的一項研究結(jié)果相矛盾，該研究顯示，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感顯著下降。父母和孩子對于獨立的緊張情緒會導致父母和子女之間偶爾的爭吵。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“The findings disagree with the research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant worsening in their parents39。 quality of life and wellbeing.”這一發(fā)現(xiàn)與今年早些時候發(fā)表的一項研究結(jié)果不一致，早些的研究顯示，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感顯著惡化?？芍酝难芯匡@示，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感比之前更差，故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“The findings disagree with the research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant worsening in their parents39。 quality of life and wellbeing. ”通過新舊研究對比，以往的研究表明，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感顯著下降。即可推理劃線部分單詞trigger意為“導致，致使”，與cause意義一致。故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“The young adults taking part in the study were‘more positive than might have been expected’about moving back home – the shame is reduced as so many of their friends are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents39。 financial and emotional support.”參與這項研究的年輕人對于搬回家“比預(yù)期的更積極”——他們的羞愧感減少了，因為他們的許多朋友都處于同樣的處境，而且他們承認父母在經(jīng)濟和情感上的支持是有好處的。）可知，大學畢業(yè)生對回家的態(tài)度是積極的，很高興能夠回家，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities.”但他們承認，如今的畢業(yè)生情況有所不同，他們畢業(yè)時背負著巨額債務(wù)，工作機會也更少。由此推斷出，孩子們很難找到一份滿意的工作，故選C。 （5）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的‘However’, the study says, ‘daytoday tensions about the prospects of achieving different dimensions of independence, which in a few extreme cases came close to conflict”可知對于實現(xiàn)不同層面獨立前景的日常緊張情緒，是大多數(shù)家長和略多于一半畢業(yè)生經(jīng)歷的特征。在少數(shù)極端情況下，這種緊張情緒接近沖突?？芍爻沧搴⒆蝇F(xiàn)象的副作用是在少數(shù)情況下，緊張情緒會導致父母和孩子之間偶爾發(fā)生爭吵。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。4．犇犇閱讀理解 While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world39。s first kids to be taught by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a humanlike robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student39。s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to e. The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show humanlike behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector39。s Be sustainable with energy — a free program for Auckland elementary schools. Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students39。 responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up nonverbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This twoway interaction not only helps attract the students39。 attention, but also allows the program39。s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed. Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Willlike avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver costeffective, rich, educational experience in the future.” The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention. However, regardless of how popular it bees, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.（1）What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland?
