　　.閱讀理解

　　A

　　By 2024， most people will be aware that a healthy，happy， loving family is a joy to be part of， and that it is a necessary foundation for building a strong and harmonious society.But for most，awareness will not become reality.People will be subjected to increasingly more various and complex influences.Advertisers will create new desires and turn them into necessities.This will leave people feeling confused about their values and priorities(優(yōu)先).

　　Too many people are already hooked on the beliefs of the “me generation”so they fail to appreciate that there is a time in life when they must get hooked on sacrifice and teamwork.At a time when adults need to become focused on in needs of their family ，they will be subjected to other influences.Some will use bad timing as they proudly sacrifice for a more powerful car or a luxury house.Some will be hooked on taking risks，and others will recite phrases like “I must become the best I can be”or“I don't want to be tied down”.The needs of their family will be lost in complex set of priorities.

　　Many people have not actually experienced a solid positive family life ，so they will tend to deny its worth(and unfortunately，some will even believe it doesn't exist).Many people have always experienced family life as a struggle，so they won't find time and energy for a workshop，and probably won't even recognize the need.

　　But it is extremely important for our future that we maintain a healthy idea.We need to value and appreciate the importance of what can be achieved by loving and committed parents.People need a strong foundation，so it is vital for our society that we encourage parents to work at creating love，joy，and happiness in a decent，stable，and productive atmosphere.

　　語篇解讀：本文是關(guān)于未來社會生活的說明文。全文通過分析未來社會的變化以及未來一代人關(guān)于家庭生活觀念的變化，號召大家樹立正確的家庭觀，努力建立充滿著愛、歡樂與幸福的家庭，為和諧社會的建設(shè)作出貢獻(xiàn)。

　　1.What will happen to the family life in the future？

　　A.It will disappear in the society.

　　B.It will be strengthened by many advertisers.

　　C.It will lose its values and priorities.

　　D.It will be influenced by the developing society.

　　解析：推理判斷題。文章倒數(shù)第二段講述了家庭觀念淡薄和深受家庭重壓人士的思想，由此可以推斷，未來的家庭觀念深受社會發(fā)展的影響。

　　答案：D

　　2.What does the underlined phrase “hooked on”mean in the second paragraph？

　　A.Attracted by.

　　B.Familiar with.

　　C.Bored with.

　　D.Frightened by.

　　解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章提供的語境，尤其是事情的結(jié)果的描述“...so they fail to appreciate that there is a time in life when they must get hooked on sacrifice and teamwork.”可以推斷，該短語的意義是“深受影響，沉溺于”的意思。

　　答案：A

　　3.The following may be the future generations' ideas EXCEPT .

　　A.feeling proud of more powerful cars or a luxury house

　　B.being fond of taking risks

　　C.being proud of self-development and strengthening

　　D.being crazy about a healthier family life

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章的第二段詳述了未來一代人的觀點(diǎn)，第一種：“Some will use bad timing as they proudly sacrifice for a more powerful car or a luxury house.”；第二種：“Some will be hooked on taking risks”；第三種：“...others will recite phrases like‘I must become the best I can be’or‘I don't want to be tied down’.”這些實(shí)際上就是只注重自我發(fā)展，而通過“The needs of their family will be lost in a complex set of priorities.”說明選項D不正確。
