2．I've handled chopsticks skillfully for decades.While it used to amuse me，it mildly annoys me now that Chinese react with astonishment to see a foreigner handle them-as if someone from a country that put a man on the moon would somehow be incapable of handling two simple sticks.As you can see，China's influence stretched far and wide long before opening-up in the late 1970s or today's Belt and Road Initiative.So the idea that most foreigners cannot use chopsticks is，simply put， fiddlesticks.
My first exposure to chopsticks came way back in the 1960s via the elementary piano tune known as Chopsticks，which aroused my curiosity as to what the word meant.Not long afterward，my parents introduced me to Chinese food at King Fong Cafe in Omaha，Nebraska，which，I only learned recently，was among the landmarks of the heartland city's once-thriving Chinatown in the early 1900s.
In fact，I have undergone special kuaizi training （improving skills，for example，by constantly picking up peanuts when I lived with my Chinese tai chi master） and experimentation （exploring the use of chopsticks to snap up popcorn and donuts；I'm working on ice cream）.
But there's one western food for which chopsticks are truly a godsend：salads.After moving to China in 2014，I bought a salad at a convenience store，and the clerk handed me kuaizi.I refused at first，but then thought， "All right" and gave it a try.Amazingly useful!I could pick and choose each small piece much more carefully，without having to move awkwardly trying to spear the crispy carrot or cherry tomato and then move it mouth ward.
Another clear advantage of these simplest of tools is that they regulate the pace and volume of eating.It's much harder to "pig out" by shoveling food with chopsticks than with a fork and spoon.
However，in the spirit of globalization，let's not overlook the finer points of knife and fork.In fact，a handy thing about the fork is that everyone can basically use it with each hand.I care to say that，for Chinese and foreigners alike，switching hands while using chopsticks is not so readily done with confidence.
（1）What makes the writer feel unhappy about using chopsticks？
A．People's finding it amusing.
B．Not being able to handle them easily.
C．Chinese strange look on seeing him/her using them.
D．Feeling as if he/she was on the moon.
（2）What does the underlined word "fiddlesticks" in Paragraph 1 mean？
A．A nonsense.
B．A norm.
C．A joke.
D．A shame.
（3）What can we learn from the writer's using chopsticks？
A．He/She first learnt to use them when listening to a piano tune.
B．Chopsticks prove useful in eating any western food.
C．Using chopsticks limits one's intake of food.
D．He/She can use chopsticks to eat ice cream skillfully.
（4）What is the best title for the passage？
A．How to Use Chopsticks
B．My Experience with Chopsticks
C．Chopsticks VS Knife and Fork
D．The Globalization of Chopsticks組卷：0引用：1難度：0.7 -
3．The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents.But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server，she isn't able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.
To some degree，multigenerational households have always been a part of American life.However，the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents - or never leaving home in the first place - has been growing steadily.
UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.
The report shows that 74 percent of millennials（千禧一代）get some kind of financial support from their parents after college.It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children.Millennials see their parents as peers，friends and instructors.Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college.In return，their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood，helping fund everything for them.
Stuart Hoffman，chief economist for the PNC Financial Services Group in the US，said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession.Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved，that doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest.He said，"They may like living at home and being able to save money."
"There's no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising，" Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage.I don't know if it represents a change in moral values.But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents' homes because it's becoming part of the culture."
（1）What can we learn about Caitlin Hipp？
A．She is 28 years old.
B．She is fully-engaged in two jobs.
C．She can hardly afford a place to live.
D．She prefers living with her parents.
（2）What can we learn from the UBS Financial Services' report？
A．Millennials are on good terms with their parents.
B．Millennials are financially independent after college.
C．Parents are unwilling to give their young adults allowance.
D．Parents want their kids to stay with them forever.
（3）What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home？
A．It boosts the consumption of household products.
B．It may continue despite job growth.
C．It is a sign of shift in moral values.
D．It is new in American culture.
（4）What is the author's purpose of writing this passage？
A．To introduce millennials' living habits.
B．To stress the importance of financial independence.
C．To explain why American young adults still live at home.
D．To inform people of a social trend in the US.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫(xiě)，使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。
My days always started with a two-to four-mile run on a nearby greenway.For about two years，I had a very faithful running partner.This giant，orange tabby cat was probably the gentlest cat I had ever encountered.He would see me climbing the hill and join in，running alongside me for about a quarter-mile until he meowed enough to get me to stop and pet him.A few minutes later，when I attempted to restart my run，he would wind around my ankles to keep me longer.Although he was a rather fat fellow，I always brought him some cat food.
On fair-weather afternoons，I would pick up my four-year-old granddaughter from preschool and we would visit the tabby cat together.She would insist on bringing him an afternoon treat.Before long，he started winding around her little ankles as well.
One day，while my granddaughter was pouring out the plastic baggie full of cat chow mixed with leftover chicken，she brought up a good point.She cried out，"We've got to call them something!" My granddaughter stepped back and，deep in thought，studied the cat carefully as he enjoyed the remains of her Happy Meal.Then she announced， "I've got it!Tom Tom!"
All the regular runners，walkers，bikers and visitors to the greenway soon came to know the big，friendly orange tabby as "Tom Tom".My granddaughter loved the cat.She looked forward to our greenway walks and visiting Tom Tom，something simple that the two of us did together.With her birthday approaching，I wanted to do something extra special.I cooperated with a local college art student and produced a self-published children's book for my granddaughter about our greenway friend.My only real intent was to print a copy or two for her birthday，so I was pleasantly surprised when several copies were sold!Soon，Tom Tom became the most famous cat in town!
