D
Grandparents play an important role in the lives of their families, and yet a survey of 11,000 grandparents across the UK, carried out by The Pulse Business and BackThen, has found that 53% of grandparents feel distant from what is going on in their grandchildren's lives, with 39% going on to say they feel lonely due to a lack of connection with their family or grandchildren.
But, in a bid to address these feelings, the same survey found that nearly nine out of 10 grandparents were dedicated to becoming more tech-savvy in order to connect with their families and fight loneliness. In fact, 87% of grandparents highlighted that photo apps are playing a key role in how connected they feel to their families, with 57% saying such apps are key to reducing feelings of loneliness for them.
"It's a strange thing, how the world keeps getting smaller, and yet it gets harder for different generations to see each other," says Ed Botterill, the founder and director of the photo app BackThen. "It's sad that grandparents are feeling cut off from their families. But while there's no replacement for real interaction, it's interesting to see how they are turning to tech, and that it seems to be staving off their feelings of loneliness. And sharing photos online is a great way to give families something to talk about on that next all-family video call."
38. What is the percentage of the grandparents who feel disconnected from their grandchildren?
A. 53%
B. 39%.
C. 87%
D. 57%
答案:A. 53%
解析: 文章第一段明確提到: “53% of grandparents feel distant from what is going on in their grandchildren's lives", 而39%的祖父母因缺乏聯(lián)系感到孤獨(dú) (lonely).
題目問的是“感到與孫輩疏遠(yuǎn)”的比例,因此正確答案是53%(選項(xiàng)A). 39% (選項(xiàng)B) 是進(jìn)一步說明孤獨(dú)感的比例,并非直接回答“疏遠(yuǎn)”問題,disconnected 的近義詞是distant. 故選A.
39. What is Ed Botterill's attitude towards the grandparents' loneliness?
A. Critical.
B. Sympathetic.
C. Objective.
D. Doubtful.
答案:B. Sympathetic
解析:Ed Botterill的評論中使用了情感化語言:"It's sad that grandparents are feeling cut off from their families.”(“祖父母感到與家人隔絕是令人難過的.”這明確表達(dá)了他對祖父母處境的同情(sympathy). 他隨后提到科技的作用(it seems to be staving off their feelings of loneliness"),但并未表現(xiàn)出批判(critical)、懷疑(doubtful) 或完全中立 (objective).因此態(tài)度是同情的(選項(xiàng)B)。
40. Which word can replace the underlined part "staving off" in the last paragraph?
A. Reducing
B. hiding
C. highlighting
D. sharing
答案:A. Reducing
解析: 原文提到: "it seems to be staving off their feelings of loneliness" 結(jié)合上下文,"staving off"意為“暫時(shí)緩解”或“減少”. 選項(xiàng)分析:
- Reducing (減少)符合語境,表示科技幫助祖父母降低孤獨(dú)感.
- Hiding (隱藏)、highlighting (強(qiáng)調(diào))、sharing (分享)均與句意不符。
因此正確答案是 A. Reducing.
41. How are the grandparents fighting loneliness according to the survey?
A. By doing business
B. By visiting grandchildren.
C. By embracing tech.
D. By giving talks on family.
答案:C. By embracing tech
解析:文章第二段明確提到:"nearly nine out of 10 grandparents were dedicated to becoming more tech-savvy in order to connect with their families", 且87%的祖父母認(rèn)為照片應(yīng)用(photo apps) 增強(qiáng)了與家人的聯(lián)系。
選項(xiàng)分析:
- By doing business (通過做生意):文中未提及。
- By visiting grandchildren (通過探訪孫輩):未提到具體行動(dòng),且調(diào)查顯示祖父母因疏遠(yuǎn)感需要其他方式。
- By embracing tech (通過接受科技):符合文中“提升科技技能”“使用照片應(yīng)用”的描述.
- By giving talks on family (通過家庭演講):無相關(guān)依據(jù)。
因此正確答案是 C. By embracing tech.
