Daughters were happier than sons, often slipping back easily into teenage patterns of behaviour, the study found. The families featured in the study were middleclass and tended to view the achievement of adult independence for their children as a family project. Parents accepted that their children required support as university students and then as graduates returning home, as they tried to find jobs paying enough to enable them to move out and get on the housing ladder. Areas of disagreement included chores, money and social life. While parents were keen to help, they also wanted different relationships from those they had with their own parents, and continuing to support their adult children allowed them to remain close.（1）What is the finding of the previous research? A.The parents were looking forward to their children39。The parents39。Boomerang children never did any housework.（2）The underlined word trigger in Paragraph 2 may be best replaced by ________. A.defeatC.allow（3）What is the attitude of the college graduates towards returning home?

Some say it39。 SMAs are doctorpatient visits in which a group of patients receive patient education and counseling (咨詢), physical examination and medical support in a group setting. Typically SMAs are designed to have one or more doctors attend to a group of patients who share a mon illness or medical condition. In contrast to onetoone visits, SMAS provide a longer appointment timeframe as well as the opportunity for patients to have improved access to their physicians and meanwhile pick up additional information and support from peers. the SMA approach is a fundamental challenge to those fixed ideas. They need shared goals and a way of testing the innovation against agreed standards. Dr. Sumego says, The physicians may be worried about the possible chaos and efficiencies that are marketed. They also have to make the patients understand what their appointment is, and what the expectation is.To improve medical service.B. reputation.C.To meet patients39。Personal service.B.Lack of equipment.D.practiceorganizationpurchasesupport（4）What can be learned about the SMA approach in the last paragraph? A.It is impractical in some areas.C.It should be carried out step by step.【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了SMAs (共享醫(yī)療預(yù)約) 模式，以及這種模式面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。根據(jù)第二段中的“In contrast to onetoone visits, SMA provide a longer appointment timeframe as well as the opportunity for patients to have improved access to their physicians and meanwhile pick up additional information and support from peers.”可知SMAs模式為患者提供了更長的預(yù)約時(shí)間，也為患者提供了更好地與醫(yī)生接觸的機(jī)會(huì)，同時(shí)還能從同行那里獲得額外的信息和支持。故選A。根據(jù)第三段中的“Dr. Sumego, director of shared medical appointments, Cleveland Clinic, …… personal service and privacy。挑戰(zhàn)。 SMAs方法是對(duì)這些固定想法的根本挑戰(zhàn)。 （3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。 （4）考查推理判斷。制定一些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，以便隨著概念的推廣，他們可以利用這種經(jīng)驗(yàn)開始下一次共享醫(yī)療預(yù)約然后將下次的經(jīng)驗(yàn)用到下下次。故選D。5．犇犇Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
