【答案】practice;need/poverty;Present/Current;disadvantage;preferring;fewer;economically;attend/tend;interest(s)/benefit(s);discriminate
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,探讨了美国社会老年人享受商品折扣这一特殊待遇的现象。
作者提出很多老年人是拥有支付能力的,他们并不需要享受折扣。
让他们享受商品折扣其实是牺牲了年轻人的利益,甚至会加剧两代人之间的冲突,从某种程度上来说,老年人所享受折扣其实也是一种年龄歧视。
(1)考查信息转换。
根据第一段中的"Thediscountshavebecomearoutinepartofmanybusinesses—ascommonas…"可知这是一种惯常行为,acommonpractice意为“惯常行为,常规做法”,因此填practice。
(2)考查信息转换。
根据第二段中的"Thepracticeisacceptablebecauseofthewidespreadbeliefthat'elderly'means'needy'"可知对老人打折起因于认为老年人有需要,也就是贫穷。
因此填need/poverty。
(3)考查信息归纳。
由本栏中提到的四点可以看出此处是说目前美国的社会现状,即Present/Currentsituation。
因此填Present/Current。
(4)考查信息转换。
根据第三段中的"Butinothercases,thediscountsaregivenattheexpense,directlyorindirectly,ofyoungerAmericans."可知对老年人优惠使得年轻人处于不利地位,atadisadvantage固定短语“处于不利地位”,因此填disadvantage。
(5)考查信息转换。
根据第四段中的"moreandmoreolderAmericansaredecliningtheretirementdinnerinfavorofstayingonthejob"可知选择继续工作而不选择退休的老年人的数量在增加。
prefer…ratherthan固定短语,“选择.....而不选择.....”,因为“olderAmericans____5____toworkratherthanretireisontheincrease”跟在介词of后面修饰前面的主语Thenumber,所以空格处prefer用动名词形式,故填preferring。
(6)考查信息转换。
根据第四段中的"therebylesseningemploymentandpromotionopportunitiesforyoungerworkers"可知老年人不愿退休,年轻人就业和升职的机会变少了,故填fewer。
(7)考查信息转换。
根据最后一段中的"Itnolongermakessensetotreattheelderlyasasinglegroupwhoseeconomicneedsdeservepriorityoverthoseofothers.可知很多老年人在经济上不需要这种优惠了,这里空格处修饰动词need,要用经济的副词形式,故填economically。
(8)考查信息转换。
根据最后一段中的"Seniorcitizendiscountsonlyenhancethemyththatolderpeoplecan'ttakecareofthemselves"可知长者折扣只会增强老年人不能照顾自己的谬见。
attend/tendtooneself固定短语“照顾自己”,因此填attend/tend。
(9)考查信息转换。
根据最后一段中的"theelderlyareungratefulandtakingforthemselvesattheexpenseofchildrenandotheragegroups"可知,人们会认为老年人是不感恩的,而且他们伤害了其他年龄段的人的利益,因此填interest(s)/benefit(s)。
(10)考查信息转换,根据最后一段中的“SeniorcitizendiscountsaretheessenceoftheverythingolderAmericansarefightingagainst—discriminationbyage.”可知年长者折扣可能会被认为是一种年龄歧视,这里用在against前,用动词形式。
故填discriminate。
【点评】本题考点涉及信息转换和信息归纳两个题型的考查,是一篇社会现象类阅读,要求考生准确捕捉细节信息,根据上下文的逻辑关系,结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识,做出正确答案。
2.(2018•浙江)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。

F.Peopletendtolakeprideinkeepingeverythingintheirstreetfreshandinviting.
G.Hereareafewtipstohelpyouwinovereveryoneintheneighborhoodquickly
【答案】G;F;E;B;C
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文,介绍了乔迁新居后更好更快地融入新社区的四大策略:
如保持清洁卫生、做个热情的有心人等。
⑴G此处是承上启下的句子,即呼应上一句“确保你做一个好邻居应该做的事”,后概括下文“做一个好邻居应该注意那些技巧”,故答案为G。
⑵F根据下文强调的outsideofthehome,联系到上文keepyourproperty(房产)neat,clean,andingoodrepair,所以此处谈论如从外观上让邻居接受你,故答案为F。
⑶E前文的smallgarbagebag是为了“pickupwastepaper”准备的,后一句的Thissmallact就是指捡废纸的这一举动,故答案为E。
⑷B此处是本段的主题句,后一句中的offertocollectmailandnewspapers正是帮助邻居做一些小事情的表现,所以答案为B。
⑸C此处是本段的主题句,后一句中的respectingothers,takingcareofwhatbelongstoyou,andtakingprideintheappearanceoftheneighborhood均是consideratebehaviors,故答案为C。
【点评】这是一篇说明文,重在考查上下文之间的逻辑关系,答题时首先浏览文章主旨,并理解各个选项所表达的含义。
然后再读短文,选出最能使上下文语义通顺的选项,注意段落大意,空格前后的关键词等信息,完成后要通读一篇,看语义是否通顺,是否符合逻辑,必要的话做适当修改。
