19、题详解】细节理解题。根据WHATA RELIEE!中的第四段“.Dinner with Dickens Cookbook (page 9) with procedures for his favorite dishes(与狄更斯共进晚餐食谱(第9页),介绍了他最喜欢的菜肴的流程)”可知,汤姆的妻子是一个家庭面包师,所以他最好参考第9页给她的圣诞礼物。故选C。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据THE MOMENT中的“Welcome to murder, suspense, romance, robbery and clothing in this exciting historical drama!
20、(欢迎来到这部扣人心弦的历史剧中的谋杀、悬疑、浪漫、抢劫和服装)”和“A powerful tale and emotionally sudden changes, based on the first-ever English detective novel by Wikie Collins. 33/4 hours. (一个强大的故事和情感上的突然变化,根据Wikie Collins的第一部英国侦探小说改编。33/4小时)”可知,THE MOMENT是一部改编的戏剧,持续了近4个小时。故选B。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Baked in the village of Aberlou
21、r in the Scottish Highlands, they follow a generations-old family procedure, first perfected by Joseph Walker in 1898. (它们在苏格兰高地的阿伯洛尔村烘焙,沿袭了几代人的家庭制作流程,由Joseph Walker在1898年首次完善)”可知,酥饼是苏格兰的传统家庭烘焙。故选A。BHave you ever heard the dangers of helicopter parenting? Remaining too involved in a kids life, espec

26、ent problem. In recent years, hundreds of colleges have either launched or increased their parent offices to help parents.Much of this began, of course, because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students connected with their parents like never before. On average, they communicate 22.1

33、. C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文。为避免“过度养育”,很多父母们不参与孩子的生活和教育。文章论述了父母走向这个极端对孩子的不利之处。作者认为父母应该采取更平衡的方式,平时要信任孩子能自己解决问题,但是当孩子的问题持续或孩子有危险时,父母还是应该当“直升机父母”,帮助孩子解决问题。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“The concern: that too much of warnings and horror stories the cover of Julie Lythcott-Haims bestseller How to Raise an Adult instructs mom
34、s and dads to avoid “the overparenting trap” is discouraging parents from getting involved at all.(令人担忧的是:朱莉莱思科特哈伊姆斯的畅销书如何抚养成人的封面上有太多的警告和恐怖故事,这些故事指导父母避免“过度养育陷阱”,这让父母根本不敢参与其中)”以及第三段中“At Hofstra University, for example, parents now ask embarrassedly about mental-health and campus-safety resources, as
35、if bringing up those topics were forbidden, says Branka Kristic, who heads the family-outreach programs. And Savage recalls talking to a mom who kept quiet about her sons signs of depression until right before he failed a semester. She did not want to “helicopter in”.(例如,在霍夫斯特拉大学,现在家长们询问孩子的心理健康和校园安全
36、问题时,感到很为难,好像提出这些话题是被禁止的,家庭外展项目负责人布兰卡克里斯蒂克说。萨维奇回忆说,她曾和一位母亲交谈过,这位母亲对儿子的抑郁症迹象只字不提,直到儿子一学期考试不及格。她不想“直升机降落”。) ”可知,“直升机教育”的弊端让父母现在不去参与孩子的生活和教育。文章举出霍夫斯特拉大学学生的父母的例子,是为了说明现在父母不愿意当“直升机父母”,不参与孩子的生活和教育,从而走到了“过度养育”的另一个极端。故选D。【5题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Hofstras Kristic advises parents to “be a guide, while granting that
37、 the student owns the journey”. That means asking questions, listening to answers being patient and trusting kids to resolve their own problems.(霍夫斯特拉大学的Kristic教授建议家长“做一个向导,同时允许学生走自己的生活道路”。这意味着家长可以通过问问题,听答案,并且要有耐心,信任孩子能解决他们自己的问题)”结合but表示语义转折;后面提到Kristic的进一步观点,“if issues persist, or if a student is i
38、n serious mental or physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper, at least for a little while.”可知,Kristic教授认为,如果学生的问题持续存在,或学生处于严重的精神或身体危险中,这还是需要家长参与孩子的生活和教育,帮助孩子解决问题,至少在一段时间内应该这样做。由此可以猜测“hopping in the chopper”意思为“介入并解决孩子的问题”。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段中“Much of this began, of course, because sch
39、ools were forced to cope with a generation of students connected with their parents like never before.

40、st every student had a smartphone. (当然,这在很大程度上是因为学校被迫面对一代与父母有着前所未有联系的学生。根据米德尔伯里学院心理学教授芭芭拉霍弗的研究,他们平均每周交流22.1次。这是十年前的两倍多,当时几乎每个学生都没有智能手机)”可推知,过去学生与家长之间的交流比现在少得多。故选A。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段中“some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling resistance.”“直升机父母”的现象让很多父母为了避免“过度养育”,从而不参与孩子的生活和教育
41、,这种迹象让教育者感到不安;第三段中提到“there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family.”该段说明有越来越多的家长在学生真正需要家庭时拒绝帮助孩子,并举例说明其带来的危害;第六段中“if issues persist, or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper”霍夫斯特拉大学的Kristic教
42、授认为如果孩子的问题持续存在,或处于严重的精神或身体危险,父母还是要参与和帮助孩子,至少在一段时间内当“直升机父母”。由此可知,文章是说论述为什么孩子还是需要“直升机父母”的。故选C。CNothing is “new and improved” anymore.

43、amed Paramount +. The company seeks to keep pace with Apple TV+, ESPN +, Disney +, BET +, AMC +and others.Video services didnt start this. The Apple II + came out in 1979 and Crest + toothpaste in 2002, But TV streaming companies now apparently must be branded plus,for fear that consumers perceive t
44、heir offerings as a minus. Much of this has to do with justifying a monthly charge for television which used to be free. A more complete name would be “Paramount + a Bill.”Hulu used to have a “plus” service, which was a misnomer since what customers got with it was the absence of ads. “Weve had fun
