Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2019·安徽六校第二次联考]The American dream is the faith held by many people in the United States of America that through hard work, courage, creativity and determination, they can achieve a better life for themselves. More specifically, they agree on how to get ahead in America: get a college education, find a reliable job, and buy their own house. But do Americans still believe in that path, and if they do, is it attainable?
The most recent National Journal poll asked participants about the American dream, what it took to achieve their goal, and whether or not they felt the control over their ability to be successful. Obviously, the results show that today, the idea of the American dream and what it takes to achieve it looks quite different from it did in the late 20th century. Generally speaking, people feel that their actions and hard work-not outside force-deciding their lives. But the participants have definitely mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current economy.
In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic(悲观的) about the power of education to lead to success. Even though they see going to college as a fairly achievable goal, a majority-52 percent-think that young people do not need a 4year college education in order to be successful.
Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a master's degree and works in public health, was the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability(稳定) his parents and grandparents never did. While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new viewpoints and life experiences. To Fendlyey, a sense of drive and purpose, as well as an effective highschool education, and basic life skills, like balancing a checkbook(支票簿), are the necessary elements for a successful life in America.
1.What did one have to have to succeed, which used to be commonly acknowledged in America?
A.A sense of drive and purpose.
B.An advanced academic degree.
- 9 -
C.A firm belief in his or her dream.
D.An ambition to get ahead.
2.What is the finding of the latest National Journal poll concerning the American dream?
A.More and more Americans are finding it hard to realize.
B.It remains alive among the majority of American people.
C.An increasing number of young Americans are abandoning it.
D.Americans' idea of it has changed over the past few decades.
3.What do Americans now think of the role of college education in achieving success?
A.It still remains open to debate.
B.It has proved to be beyond doubt.
C.It is much better understood now than ever.
D.It is no longer as important as it used to be.
4.How do some people view college education these days?
A.It helps broaden their minds.
B.It needs to be strengthened.
C.It widens cultural diversity.
D.It promotes gender equality.

课后提能练(四十六)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 过去大多数美国人认为接受大学教育、找到一份可靠的工作并买属于自己的房子就是实现了自己的美国梦,但随着时间的推移,美国人眼中的美国梦也变得不同了。
【长难句分析】 Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a master's degree and works in public health, was the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability his parents and grandparents never did.
句式分析:本句为主从复合句,句子主干为Miguel Maeda was the first in his family to go to college。其中Miguel Maeda为主句的主语,系动词was是主句的谓语动词,the first in his family to go to college是主句中的表语。who has a master's degree and works in public health是非限制性定语从句,先行词是Miguel Maeda,补充说明主语的情况,关系代词who在定语从句中充当主语。which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability也是一个非限制性定语从句,关系代词which指代主句的内容,在定语从句中作主语。his parents and grandparents never did是限制性定语从句,修饰先行语a sense of financial stability,因为关系代词在定语从句中充当宾语,所以省略了关系代词which/that,而且该定语从句为了避免重复,所以用did代替动词achieved。
译文:米格尔·马埃达,42岁,拥有硕士学位,从事公共卫生工作。他是家中第一个上大学的人,这使他有了一种经济稳定的感觉,这是他的父母和祖父母从未有过的。
1.B 考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“More specifically, they agree on how to get ahead in America: get a college education, find a reliable job, and buy their own house.”可推知,在美国获得成功的方式就是接受大学教育、找到可靠的工作并买属于自己的房子,即过去大多数人认为要想在美国取得成功,必须要有高等学位,故选B项。
2.D 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Obviously, the results show that today, the idea of the American dream and what it takes to achieve it looks quite different from it did in the late 20th
- 9 -
century.”可知,研究结果表明如今美国梦和如何才能实现它的观念与20世纪晚期时很不一样,已经发生了变化,故选D项。
3.D 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic about the power of education to lead to success.”可知,在过去的七年里,美国人对教育可以带来成功的力量变得越来越悲观,再结合后面一句中提到有52%的人认为想要成功的年轻人未必需要上为期4年的大学,由此可推知,现在美国人认为大学学历对于取得成功并不像以前那么重要了,故选D项。
4.A 考查细节理解。根据文章第四段中的“While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new viewpoints and life experiences.”可知,尽管一些人重视的是学位的价值而不是教育本身,但还有些人仍然把大学看作是获得新观念和生活经历的一种方式,从而开阔自己的视野,由此可知A项正确。

【范文赏读】
On Garbage Classification
I am so glad to have the chance to join the debate. Now I want to say something about garbage classification.
①As we all know, some people would throw all waste like plastic, paper and glass into the same public dustbin, without thinking whether they are recyclable or not.
But garbage classification is very important. On the one hand, without classifying, some waste will remain where they were placed for a long time. As a result, it will pollute the earth. On the other hand, waste is just the misplaced resources. ②We can recycle waste by classifying it and making full use of some leftovers.
Thus, garbage classification is meaningful to us. We can do it just now. For example, we can collect plastic bottles and sell them to the waste shop and throw used batteries into the correct dustbin.
【亮点词句】 debate, recyclable, misplace, make full use of, meaningful
【一句多译】
①It is known to us all that some people would throw all waste like plastic, paper and glass into the same public dustbin, without thinking whether they are recyclable or not.
②We can classify waste and make full use of some leftovers, by which we can recycle waste.
