I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people’s homes in France. The idea is simple,but revolutionary—combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. In the afternoons,the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children,and if a child is feeling sad or tired,there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle. There are trips out and birthday parties,too.
The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention,and respond well because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance,too.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this,including the breakdown of the extended family,working parents with no time to care for ageing relations,families that have moved away,and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same—increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless,along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It’s a major problem in many societies.
That’s why intergenerational_programmes,designed to bring the old and the young together,are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful attempts all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another,perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.
【文章大意】 本文介绍了一种新思维,那就是在孩子们的生活与老年人的生活之间架起一座桥梁,既解决了老人孤独的问题又缓解了孩子们不能被充分照顾之忧,一举两得,从而满足各自的需要。
1.A nursery school is a place where ________.
A.future nurses are trained
B.the elderly live
C.children are taken care of
D.the old join in activities
解析:考查推理判断。通过第一段可以看出“combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building”的目的是让孩子一起吃饭分享活动,从中可推断出nursery school与children有关,C选项符合题意。难度适中。
答案:C
2.Which is true according to the passage?
A.A number of assistants are employed to take care of the children.
B.The new concept benefits both the elderly and the children.
C.The children become stronger after getting more individual attention.
D.The children learn that sick people will die.
解析:考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句得知“参与活动的每个有关人员都得到了巨大的利益”,B选项正好符合此意。其他选项之意在文中没有信息支持。难度适中。
答案:B
3.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A.The reason why the old and the young are separated.
B.One reason why children don’t live with their grandparents.
C.The support children need.
D.The problem that the old and the young are separated.
解析:考查推理判断。根据本段第一句之意,再加上下文细节的支持,又有最后一句的归纳不难发现本段主要讲述的问题,D与题意相符。做题时注意题干当中的“mainly”之词。本题难。
答案:D
4.What does the “intergenerational programmes” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Combining elderly homes with nursery schools.
B.Letting the children and the residents eat together.
C.Asking young people to teach IT skills to older people.
D.Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools.
解析:考查推理判断。根据第四段第一句画线部分后面的定语再结合第一段不难看出A选项是最佳选择,B、C、D三个选项虽然在文中都提到但都属于A项里面的具体做法。本题难。
答案:A
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Old people’s homes in France
B.Building bridges of life
C.A solution to the elderly problem
D.Children’s new happy life
解析:考查主旨大意。本篇的第一段里提到“new concept”,最后一段提到“intergenerational programmes”,都点明了同样的意思:在孩子们的生活与老年人的生活之间架起了桥梁,将他们连在一起。B选项正合此意。A、C、D三个选项意思过于片面。本题难。
答案:B
