Recently，my husband and three kids were playing in Mediterranean(地中海)，
swimming and floating in the picture perfect sea.It was ridiculously beautiful in
Majorca，Spain.The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was
dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes.
My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the
world.It was one of the things we talked at length about.When we imagined our life
with the children，we hoped we would have.
Fourteen years later，we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day.It
was time to make good on those plans.We renewed our passports，and then packed our
bags.We showed our kids the world.It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and
trains and taxis together.We showed them how wonderful ， how diverse ， and how
fascinating the world is.We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves，
through our own travels.
But there was something more than that：What we really wanted is to slow down
time.We wanted the days to last a bit longer，and the weeks to take their time.The years
with our children are going too fast.We wanted to put the brakes on our busy lives for a
year，and just be with our kids.We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of
making lunches，eating breakfast and going out the door in time for school.We needed
family time out.
It was the wonderful two months in Europe，full of incredible moments.When we
look back at our lives，I know we'll be glad we did it.I know we'll be happy that this is a
chapter of the story of our family.

B (2019·湖南省五市十校联考)
In 2016，China released guidelines forbidding weird(古怪的) construction，shifting
their focus to the“economic，green and beautiful”．Now a new plan certainly fits the
bill—Liuzhou Forest City，designed by the Italian firm Stefano Boeri Architetti，will be
under construction in southern China.
The 175 hectare ， selfcontained neighborhood will contain more than 70
buildings—including homes，hospitals，hotels，schools and offices—all of which will be covered with 40，000 trees and almost a million plants.This is the first experiment of
the urban environment that's really trying to find a balance with nature.
The idea behind the project is to combine as many plants with the architecture as
possible.The plants are expected to absorb almost 10，000 tons of carbon dioxide and 57
tons of pollutants per year ， and produce 900 tons of oxygen a year ， while also
decreasing the air temperature and providing a new habitat for displaced wildlife.Solar
panels(控制板) on the roofs will collect renewable energy to power the buildings.
The project comes on the heels of Stefano Boeri Architetti's Vertical Forest，two
residential towers in Milan covered in the equivalent(等同物) of five acres of forest.
“ We started to imagine if it was possible to create an urban environment by
planting many trees in the city，”Boeri said.China，in his eyes，provided the perfect
background for such an ambitious project.
But the project's completion is a long way off.Construction is set to begin in
2020.Boeri said there is still a lot of planning and research required before a projected
completion date can be set.He remains，however，optimistic about the project，and
confident about its aim.“I really think that bringing forests into the city is a way to
reduce climate change，”he said.

C．A new neighborhood will satisfy the guidelines.
D．All strange buildings in China have been torn down.

色，美观”，新建社区“柳州森林城”符合其准则；结合第二段介绍的该社区的建
筑面积和树木及绿色植物的覆盖面积可推知，新社区将符合建筑准则，故 C 项正
确。]6．What benefit will this project bring about?

C (2019·成都市诊断性检测)
Japan recently lowered its voting age from 20 to 18.This decision was in order to
help young people feel more engaged in politics.But it may also signal the change of
social views regarding the beginning of adulthood.
Adulthood has traditionally been defined by a combination of age and the
achievement of social milestones(里程碑)．Most countries have a legally defined age to
determine when a person becomes an adult—the age of majority.In Australia ， most
states consider a person to be an adult in court at 18.The age of 18 is also consistent with other adult privileges，such as the right to purchase alcohol and to marry.However，
17yearolds can serve in the army and get a driver's licence.The law defines adulthood
on the basis of age and it also recognizes the process of becoming an adult as involving
himself gradually in social responsibility.This legal approach to adulthood is mirrored
in other countries，where there are differences between the age of majority and social
responsibility given to young people.
Socially ， determinants of adulthood traditionally focus on a person taking
increasing responsibility for their lives in various ways. Completing school，taking full
time employment，getting married and parenthood—these are all observable indicators
to determine when a person is viewed as an adult.
Since the 1980s ， however ， people have achieved some of these observable
milestones at later ages.Increased access to education has delayed young people leaving
home and developing romantic relationships.Economic changes have also resulted in
unstable employment markets and increases in costs of living，prompting many young
people to remain at home and dependent on parents.
Due to these social changes，our expectations of young people and their level of
social responsibility have also changed.The recognition of a new life
stage—emerging(发展初期的) adulthood—has been recommended to account for the
changes to social milestones that have traditionally represented adulthood.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了由于教育机会的增加、经济
上的变化等社会变化，年轻人进入成年人生阶段的时间推迟了。
9．What can we learn about adulthood from the text?
A．People reach observable indicators much later.
B．Age alone is a reliable determinant of adulthood.
C．Participation in politics is a responsibility for adulthood.
D．Economic changes mainly shift people's views on adulthood.
C [考查推理判断。根据第一段第一、二句可知，日本最近将投票年龄从 20
岁降至 18 岁，这一决定在某种程度上是为了帮助年轻人更好地参与政治；又根据
本段第三句可推知，参与政治是成年人的责任，故 C 项正确。]
10．What right can people enjoy at the age of 17 in most states of Australia?
A．Voting.B．Buying wines.
C．Getting married.
D．Driving legally.
D [考查细节理解。根据第二段的内容，尤其是第五句 However, 17yearolds
can serve in the army and get a driver's licence 可知，在澳大利亚的大部分州，人们
在 17 岁时可以服兵役和获得驾照，故 D 项正确。]
11．What does the underlined word“prompting”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Encouraging.
B．Advising.
C．Forbidding.
D．Persuading.
A [考查词义猜测。根据第四段尾句可知，经济上的变化也导致了不稳定的
就业市场和生活成本的增加，这促使许多年轻人留在家里并依赖父母；据此可推
知，A 项“促进，助长”与画线词意思相近，故 A 项正确。]
12．What's the main idea of the text?
A．Emerging adulthood reflects a new life stage.
B．Adulthood is defined differently in different places.
C．Social changes are challenging the idea of adulthood.
D．Adulthood is a combination of rights and responsibilities.
C [考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，文章尾段第一句为全文的主题句；又结
合全文内容可知，本文主要论述了由于社会的变化，年轻人进入成年人生阶段的
时间发生了变化，而人们关于“成年”这一概念的看法也发生了变化，故 C 项正
确。]
