In a spirit of gratitude(感恩) and giving back to the parents who raised them, Bill and Jackie Metz’s daughters have offered a generous invitation.

“They both live in Chicago now,” said Bill Metz, 75, a retired Sacramento State psychology professor. “One was willing to put an extra floor on her house and 26 an elevator for us so we could live there. 27 wanted to change her basement for us. I told them we’d have somebody shoot us 28 we did that.”

The Mazes, who live in their own home at Escalon Village Roseville, enjoy their big, close-knit 29 , which also includes two sons in California and 11 grandchildren. But the idea of living with the kids in their older age leaves them 30 . “My first reaction was, ‘I don’t want you to tell me 31 to do,’” said Jackie Maze, who is also 75 and a retired teacher and counselor.

A recent survey from the research firm Gallup & Robinson highlights（凸显，突出）that sense of 40 . While 53 percent of people below age 65 said they would 41 an aging parent who needed their help, only a quarter of people older than 65 said they would 42 an invitation to live with their grown children.

Those attitudes 43 the stubborn old cultural way, in which the grandparents, kids and grandkids grow older together 44 one roof — a tradition from the days when there was no choice but for the generations to live 45 , like it or not.

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A

I can’t remember a winter being as cold as this in Pennsylvania, but I’m sure there were colder days.

Even though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute, it’s easy to find an excuse not to go out unless you absolutely must, but then again I often have to push myself to accomplish things.

People I speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moods. They say they’re “under the weather,” not feeling good about this time of year.

As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday, it was so cold that my nose and face felt frozen and my ears were stinging.

Of course, that doesn’t matter to Ricky and Lucy. They have a routine they must go through to find just the fighting spot no matter how cold or hot it is.

So I wait.

But this time it was different. As cold as it was, I suddenly was excited thinking about how wonderful this extreme cold really was.

Then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summer’s extremely hot days flashed through my mind. I could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon, with sweat pouring down my brow and the hot, burning sun against my face. I reminded myself then and there that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heat.

I was grateful for the extremes. Without the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate the days when things were just right. Without the extremes, life would be boring.

It’s being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle more. Health challenges remind us that we need to pay more attention to how we live. Financial extremes remind us that when things go smoothly it’s also time to save for raining days.

I’ve come to the conclusion that all too often I find a reason not to be happy with where I am at that moment.

Whether it’s hot or cold, good health or bad, in the money or out of it, I always want it to be different.

I’m tired of being “Under the Weather!”

46. What is the author’s attitude towards the extremes in life?

A. Grateful. B. Critical. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned.

47. That day the writer waited in the terrible cold because ______.

A. his dogs wanted to hunt

B. he wanted to face the cold bravely

C. his dogs had a routine

D. he wanted to be different

48. The underlined word “nasty” (Paragraph 3) can be replaced by ______.

A. unpleasant B. violent

C. favorable D. unusual

B

I hated writing thank-you notes as a child, but I had no choice: My mother was adamant (坚决的) about honoring other people’s kindness and generosity. But now after a childhood spent crafting those notes, the music of gratitude flows naturally from me.

I hire Brant to build an arbor (凉亭) around my front door. I drew it exactly as I wanted, and he realized my vision perfectly. Surprised at how the arbor’s beauty uplifted me every time I stepped into my house, I ca
