Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their
children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even
President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by , 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the
American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a
magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’ re raising children.”
Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her
grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit
frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
1 ．Why was Garza’s move a success

My son just completed high school, and his departure for college marks a significant
change for me. Among the things I’ll miss most are his lessons in teenage slang (俚语), which has offered me an accidental and useful portrait of how he and his generation perceive the world.
The primary value of slang has been to create linguistic markers, a way to set you apart from other people. The terms change over time, but the meanings typically don’t — one
generation’s “cool” becomes another’s “dope”.
Members of my son’s generation have a vastly superior approach to slang. They have
invented a language that responds to the new and distinct reality they face, a society characterized by collapsing institutions, decline in trust and a loss of faith in a shared sense of meaning.
“Mid,” for example, in my son’s usage, describes things that are average or slightly below. You can’t really complain about them, but they produce no joy or surprise. Everything in
Starbucks and airports falls into the category of“mid.”
“Glazed” has a similarly impressive precision, indicating the act of positively making up a comment on reality rather than complete lying. It is the perfect description of the way social media works, with everything taking on an artificially positive, partially real and not entirely trustworthy look. For example, beach photos on social media might make a destination look like paradise, yet they rarely show the crowded shores or bad weather that are part of the reality.
My favorite slang word is “based,” often used to express agreement when someone states a controversial opinion. “Canada should join the United States,” one might say, to which someone
试卷第 2 页，共 13 页
else might reply, “Based.” To my ear, “based” is a perfect word to describe the informational chaos we are living in currently.
Slang has brought my son and me closer. It’s taught me that the current crop of teenagers created a language to describe the flawed reality we’ve abandoned them to, and in doing so
they’ve proved themselves less misguided and more innovative than we were.
4 ．What does teenage slang reveal about young people
A ．Their need to fit in with peers. B ．Their aim to challenge social norms.
C ．Their response to the flawed reality. D ．Their desire to outperform older generations.
5 ．Which comment on a crowded beach reflects “glazed” in paragraph 4
A ．“What a disaster!” B ．“A wonderful spot!”
C ．“Not crowded at all.” D ．“At least we found a spot.”
6 ．Which word best describes the tone of the text
A ．Critical. B ．Appreciative. C ．Instructive. D ．Cautious.
7 ．What can be a suitable title for the text
A ．Teens Have Invented a Language for the World B ．Teenagers’ Fondness for Nonsense Words
C ．Teenage Slang tells us about Hopeless YouthD ．The Impact of Teen Slang on Social Reality
Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was living the life-just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important.
Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming
program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and a variety of new skills to make her dreams a
reality.
“One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they
produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says. “And I just thought, ‘Why aren’t we doing that here ’”“The Adamah program opened
Sacks’ eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2017, she began what she calls “trash walking”.
试卷第 3 页，共 13 页
During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable
items. Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff-like clothing, decorations, and
food-all of which she documents on TikTok.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says.
The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people
who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded. If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their
taxes.
Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary
things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says.
8 ．Anna Sacks packed up her life and left New York to .
A ．lead a healthy lifestyle
B ．observe how to grow food
C ．pursue a meaningful life
D ．volunteer to work in a bank
9 ．What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program
A ．The importance of trash walking.

考点 2 生活故事
“No,” Mama Lil said it plain and simple. “I haven't never heard of no girls to be doing that. Bebe, you need to be getting yourself a real summer job, something civilized.”
I’d been living with Mama Lil since I was six, when my own mama and daddy were killed in an apartment building fire. Lillian Johns was my mom’s mother. Everybody on our street called her Mama Lil and that was what I called her too. I had been butting heads with her ever since I
could remember. And the older I got, the more at odds we were and the more conflicts we experienced.
For weeks I’d been asking Mama Lil to let me join the youth renovation team. It was a
group of kids who had been chosen by city officials to work with engineers to help repair the
Brooklyn Bridge. The project would last the summer and pay good money. It would help me get to college, where I wanted to study engineering.
But for Mama Lil, the thing that made her the most stubborn this time, was exactly my dream of becoming an engineer. In some respects, Mama Lil was right. It was true that there weren’t many black women engineers. But I wanted to build bridges more than anything.
“Let me go, Mama Lil,” I begged softly.
Mama Lil sat as still as a statue. “Mama Lil,” I said carefully, “if you don’t sign the bridge project permission form, I will sign it myself. Nobody will know the difference.”
The next morning, Mama Lil’s eyes looked red-tired. “I’m going to the bridge,” I said
firmly. “I know, Bebe,” she said. From her housedress pocket, she took out a pen and signed the form. “Bebe, that bridge is lucky to have you,” she said.
I hugged Mama Lil good and hard, smiling big, right at her.

Ahead, in the distance, stood the Brooklyn Bridge. This was the best spot to see the bridge. I’d come to this corner and studied the bridge a million times. And on every one of those times, I was taken with what I’d come to call Brooklyn Belle.
At night, Belle was dressed in tiny light. On a cloudless night like this one, she was a sight like no other in the whole city. Jeweled in light. Beautiful.
I had drawn Belle in the high-noon light, at sunset, on snowy days, and on foggy twilight mornings... I was proud of my drawings, but with each page they showed a sad truth about Belle:
She needed repair. That bridge renovation project needed me; and I needed it, in more ways than I could count.

The first time Terry attended a meeting of the Tahquamenon Sportsmen’s Club, they made him vice president — and he wasn’t even a member. By his second visit, the few members left in the dying organization had put him in charge of the whole thing.
The club began in the 1920s. Back then, hunting and fishing were pastimes in rural areas.
The culture, however, is different now. When Terry took over the century-old club, it was on its
last legs. Only a couple dozen members remained, and most were older than its new 68-year-old president. They were no longer doing the things they’d been known for. Worst of all, their famous
试卷第 6 页，共 13 页
fishing tackle party had been canceled twice, once just because they simply didn’t have enough members to pull it off.
He wanted to push hard to keep the organization going, because it is one of the things that make up the heart and soul of Newberry. He had to look for new members. He needed to broaden the club’s offerings to attract younger people. More than anything else, he had to make sure the
tackle party for kids took place once again.
Little by little, Terry’s efforts worked. People began asking about memberships. Some sent contributions. Others offered their time. A local company donated new siding for the clubhouse. Someone else said they would put a new roof on it. Someone came and mowed the lawn (草坪) when it got long in the summer. Others cleared the snow in the winter. All over town, people and businesses promised to help the club survive and succeed.
On the day of the annual Kids Tackle Party, hundreds of kids and their families appeared. Terry started the event with a speech. A local fishing expert gave tips on how to catch fish. Then, one at a time, each of the 245 kids was called by name, and every one of them got a fishing pole and a tackle box. It took more than three hours to get through everyone who showed up. It was a big event, one that came close to dying, but was finally back.
Terry fought to keep the club and party for kids, a longtime tradition in the Newberry
community, going. Traditions are dying these days, but he was able to get people to hold onto this one.

In a mechanic’s yard in northern Nigeria, as four guys work on the front wheel of a black business car, a skinny boy named Amir attentively looks on.
When Amir says he is 15, people laugh. But his boss, Ibrahim, a boyish fellow with a gentle smile, understands. He, too, was once a slight kid who looked young for his age, working in this
same auto yard in Nigeria’s second biggest city, Kano.
Amir’s father, an electrician, had worried that his oldest son would end up unemployed — either wandering the streets or even stealing. So he begged Ibrahim to take him on as an
apprentice (学徒) after school.
The skinny boy reminds the mechanic of himself.
Ibrahim only started school at 10 and had to drop out of school at 18, without graduating, because his parents were too poor to pay. He tried tailoring (做裁缝) for two years, but it drove him crazy. In a city full of beggars and thousands of unemployed university graduates, joining a mechanic’s yard felt like his last chance. Ibrahim moved to Kano and he became an apprentice there.
But the boss wasn’t convinced he could handle the work. “I was skinny and I looked younger than my age.” Ibrahim recalled. “He said, ‘You can’t be a mechanic. ’ I was really determined to prove him wrong.”
The boss was not easily pleased. Anyone who was late or wasted time was beaten. The job was so tough that Ibrahim gave up and ran back home. But his mother urged him to try again,
saying “The path to success isn’t smooth. You’ll face many difficulties. Whether you succeed
depends on your determination and actions.” He returned, learning to be a mechanic in seven
years, before opening his own workshop. Later, he moved his business to the yard where he had begun working 12 years earlier.
Now, as a boss himself, though he sometimes is strict with his workers, he patiently teaches them how to fix cars. He buys them breakfast and lunch, and even when there’s no work, he pays them their daily wages.

考点 3 个人经历
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been in the middle. I’m the middle child in my family. I’ve always sat in the middle of the classroom at school. Even my first and last names,
Miguel Martinez, start with an M — the middle letter of the alphabet. Luckily, I’m also in the middle of a large circle of friends.
However, starting middle school in September brought me a painful change. All of my
closest friends went to a different middle school leaving me alone. The only classmate I know
from my old school is Jake, who is good at math. But since it’s not my favorite subject, we never became friends.
By the end of October, Jake and I became good friends. It happened because I was so
hopeless when trying to do my math homework. I hated math — especially fractions (分数). So,
试卷第 9 页，共 13 页
one day, I turned to Jake after school. To my surprise, Jake not only knew my name but was also willing to help me.
That night, Jake and I studied math together. He used pieces of a pizza to explain fractions, and by the end of the night, I finally understood!
The next day in class, I was even able to answer one of the math problems. My math teacher was surprised when I raised my hand, and guess what — so was I!
The other day, our math teacher gave us a math brainteaser (谜题). She asked, “If you were to write all the numbers from one to one hundred, how many times would you write a nine ” The question was harder than it seemed.
All of our classmates were wrong. Jake and I were the only ones with the correct answer! After that, more and more classmates wanted to study math with us.
Jake and I plan to hang out together during winter break. It won’t just be the two of us,
since all my new friends from middle school will go with us to the Math Museum downtown.
Though I now see math differently, some things haven’t changed. I’m still in the middle of a large circle of friends!

My family moved to St. Paul, Minnesota last year, where the average winter temperature is
试卷第 10 页，共 13 页
around 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Once summer ended, everyone went inside to play ice hockey. I’d been on the ice only a couple of times when I was much younger. When I’d fallen and broken my wrist during my second lesson, I’d decided never to put on ice skates again.
Ben, the friend I made in the new city, volunteered to teach me to skate. Even though he
was very patient, I was so embarrassed by my clumsiness that I began to make up excuses for not skating.
One day I discovered a faster route home. It took me past a large frozen pond. I noticed a woman teaching a young girl to skate. The girl was attempting to jump and spin in the air.
Over and over, she pushed off the ground with the toe of her skate. And over and over, she landed hard on the ice.
After I had been watching the girl practice for about a week, one afternoon she suddenly lifted off the ground, spun in the air, and landed on her feet!
The next day I bought myself some brand new skates. Every day on the way home I
stopped at the pond and wobbled onto the ice, right next to the girl who had landed her jump. As she perfected her twists and tricks, I taught myself to glide and turn. It was hard being a beginner, and when I fell I had to fight the urge to simply give up. Instead, every time I went down, I just
picked myself up and started over again. Soon I was able to keep my balance and skate more
confidently. In just a few weeks, I was actually ready to practice the speed skating, fast stops, and quick turns needed for ice hockey. When I was finally ready to show Ben my newfound skating
ability, he told me I should join the local hockey league. I tried out and was chosen for a team. By the end of the season, I was part of a winning team.

A ．easy and basic B ．boring and tiring C ．tough but rewarding D ．strict but interesting 30 ．What does the story mainly tell us
试卷第 11 页，共 13 页
A ．All roads lead to Rome. B ．One is never too old to learn.
C ．One good turn deserves another. D ．Success is not always under control.
I was a happy girl who sang whenever I could, annoying my parents endlessly by letting out my screaming voice in the middle of the night. But one bad performance changed my passion and the way I saw myself. I forgot the lyrics (歌词) in my elementary school performance, and it felt like the worst mistake that I had ever made. I refused to sing even though it was previously my
whole world. My inborn clear lens of the world became blue and I felt sad every time I heard my friends happily singing and joking around. I desperately wanted to join them but at the same time, I never wanted to feel the fear of forgetting the words ever again.
Gradually, I realized how much power that one moment held over me and began to ask myself: just because I failed in that one memory, does that really mean that the same thing will happen again I rewatched my old performance and realized that it was not a total disaster like how it was in my mind. Today, I only want to see reality through clear coloured lens — not the lens that screen out everything positive in the world.
Now that I am older and wiser, I understand that the past doesn’t define me. I am proud to say that I have found my passion in Italian opera. I will be visiting Tuscany this summer to study and perform opera. The nervous elementary school kid who refused to sing came out of her shell because she chose to ignore the past and focus on the present.
I might forget the lyrics to my songs this summer, in front of 300 people who are fluent in
the language that I am singing in. That won’t stop me from continuing to sing and it won’t stop me from loving what I do.
You may not reach as far as you want to, but you at least have the power to start something. Don’t give up any of your power to the past because it does not perfectly represent the person you are as a whole. Instead, direct all your attention to the now.
31 ．How did the author feel about her elementary school performance
A ．Anxious. B ．Discouraged. C ．Surprised. D ．Confused.

C ．Cautious due to her childhood fears. D ．Confident despite possible mistakes.
34 ．What can we learn from this passage
A ．Treat the present as a present. B ．Failure is the mother of success.
C ．Hold on to the power of the past. D ．Reality makes one older and wiser.
