Boomerang Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially.‎ Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40 percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduates surveyed said they are still living at home.‎ The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many recent graduates, it makes smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness.‎ Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally and financially. As a result, the arrangement often works to everyone’s satisfaction. However, there are risks, especially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents’plans and their financial future, especially their retirement, as they try to do too much for their children.‎ ‎21. Boomerang Kids are those who_______________ .‎ A. return to live with parents after graduationB. have problem with their marriage C. graduate from college in advanceD. like to show off their independence ‎22. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 mean something that_______________.‎ A.is very useful and beneficial B. has advantages and disadvantages C. will have a good resultD. worries people a lot ‎23. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. It is a tough choice for young adults to move back home.‎ B. Parents may have to deal with extra financial burden.‎ C. Children face fewer financial problems than ever.‎ D. Most graduates choose to live with their parents.‎ B A Beijing court (法庭）ordered a railway authority on Monday to eliminate smoking areas and remove ashtrays(烟缸) on trains to provide a better traveling environment for passengers. ‎ The Beijing Railway Transport Court gave the order to the Harbin Railway Bureau in a verdict which said the removal of smoking-related facilities and areas would protect the public interest. People’s rights ‎ sometimes come into conflict in a closed space, such as trains, the verdict said. "Passengers’rights to stay healthy in coaches, we believe, is more important than the rights of smokers."‎ Sun Weihong, the railway bureau’s attorney（代理人）, said after the announcement that the authority had taken measures to eliminate smoking, including informing passengers not to smoke, when it was taken to court last year. “The bureau hasn’t decided whether to appeal(上诉)”, Sun added. ‎ In June last year, a female passenger, identified only by her surname, Li, traveled from Beijing to Tianjin on train K1301. During the trip, she found many passengers smoking between the carriages, even though the company’s safety instructions say that smoking is banned everywhere on the train. After filing a series of complaints and getting no responses, Li, who is a college student, charged the bureau. The lawsuit was heard in December. During the trial, Li demanded compensation(赔偿) for her ticket of 102.5 yuan , 3,000 yuan for her legal expenses and 1 yuan as compensation for her mental suffering from smokers on the train. She also requested the court to order the railway bureau to eliminate its smoking areas and remove ashtrays on the train. The court ruled in favor of Li on Monday on her main complaint. However, Li did not prove that she was harmed by the smoking, "so the bureau doesn’t need to pay the compensation", the court said. Li did not appear in court on Monday. Her lawyer, Zhong Lan’an, said he was satisfied with the ruling（裁决）, "as my client’s major request that there should be no smoking on the train was supported". ‎ Jiang Yuan, deputy director of the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control, applauded the ruling, taking it as a good beginning to forbid smoking on ordinary trains. In China, smoking is banned on high-speed trains, but not on ordinary trains. The case can be considered the country’s first lawsuit in which an ordinary train was ordered to forbid smoking, Jiang said, adding that the decision would help contribute to smoking control in other public places.‎ ‎24.According to Sun Weihong, the Harbin Railway Bureau__________.‎ A.thinks it normal that people sometimes come into conflict on trains.‎ B.believes it important that the public health is above smokers’rights .‎ C.has done something to eliminate smoking after the announcement.‎ D.has decided to appeal to a higher court against the announcement.‎ ‎25.What can we know about the female passenger?‎ A.She was satisfied with the ruling.‎ B.She took a train from Beijing to Harbin.‎ C.She refused the apology from the Railway Bureau about her complaint. ‎ D.She got no compensation for her mental suffering from smokers on the train.‎ ‎26.After reading the passage, we can infer _________________.‎ A.the female passenger , Li, will appear in court once again.‎ B.smoking control will be strengthened in many other public places.‎ C.ordinary trains will have less passengers than high-speed trains.‎ D.more female passengers will turn to court for help about smoking C People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.‎ First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.‎ Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.‎ Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.‎ After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.‎ Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem : he must clean the gear wheels.‎ Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works ‎ perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.‎ ‎27.What is the best title for this passage?‎ A．Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s BicycleB．Necessities of Problem Analysis.‎ C．Suggestions for Defining a Problem.D．Possible Ways to Problem-solving.‎ ‎28.In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except.‎ A．recognize and define the problem ‎ B．look for information to make the problem clearer C．find a solution by trial or mistake ‎ D．have suggestions for a possible solution ‎29.By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to.‎ A．illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle B．tell us how to solve a problem C．discuss the problems of his bicycle D．show us how to analyse a problem ‎30. Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A．People do not analyze the problem they meet.‎ B．People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.‎ C．People may learn from their past experience.‎ D．People can not solve some problems they meet.‎ 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A sense of humor can be a person’s greatest advantage. This skill can help you communicate easily with others,improve your health. And even help deal with difficult situations. 31.‎ Identify the benefits of humor.‎ A sense of humor allows you to find humor in both positive and negative situations. 32Besides, it can increase your coping abilities and self-esteem.‎ ‎ 33 ‎ Being funny means being able to express humor. However, having a sense of humor means having the ability to let go and not take everything so seriously, and being able to laugh at life's difficulty.‎ Watch and learn.‎ You don't have to be funny to have a sense of humor, or be the one telling all the jokes. If you're not ‎ sure how to laugh or have a sense of humor about things, watch other people. 34True humor is genuine and reflects your personality.‎ Accept yourself.‎ If you want to have a sense of humor, you should accept yourself. 35Learn to laugh at yourself. Everyone needs to take himself seriously sometimes, but learning to laugh at yourself is a way to self-acceptance. No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes. Keep good humor about your life.‎ A. Have a sense of humor B. However, don't just copy their humor.‎ C. Remember to keep focused on having fun D. It can help reduce stress as well as anxiety.‎ E.

As one of the ancient civilizations Indian culture has influenced and inspired other cultures around the world.‎ First, Indian food, especially its richly spiced dishes which are called “curry”outside India, has become a favorite all around the world. Most countries have their own version of Indian curry. In Japan it is very sweet and in Thailand an Indian-style chicken curry is served alongside Thai curries. In more cosmopolitan cities around the world, you can buy samosas, fried snacks with a filling of vegetables, spices and sometimes meat, and naan bread.‎ If you have eaten too many samosas and are worried about your health, try yoga. This is an ancient Hindu philosophy and system of exercises originating in India. Yoga is now recognized all over the world as an intelligent form of exercise. Regular practice can heal minor illnesses, change your state of mind, help you lose weight or work your muscles. More and more different types of yoga are being developed and the original poses have been adapted to suit modern needs. Yoga has become so fashionable worldwide that a lot of companies are using pictures of people doing yoga to sell their products!‎ But one of the most famous things about modern Indian culture is the Indian film industry, known as Bollywood. The usual story is about a boy and a girl who love each other but their families don't approve. There is a lot of dancing and singing in the film as the boy and girl try to convince their families to let them marry. The increasing interest in Bollywood films inspired Andrew Lioyd Webber to produce the musical Bombay Dreams, which is the first Indian-theme musical shown on Broadway.‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎2019年5月高二四校联考英语学科答案 ‎1—5 ACBCA 6—10 ABACA 11—15 CBACB 16—20 ABBCC 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）‎ ‎21-23 ABB 24-26 CDB 27-30 DCBA 第二节(每小题2分，满分10分)‎ ‎31-35 FDEBG 第三部分语言运用 ‎ 第一节 完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎36-55 BDBAC DCACB DABCA DDBAD 第二节 语法填空（每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎56. corner 57. comers 58. called 59.to prevent 60. are ‎ ‎61. studying 62 that/which 63. exactly 64. on/upon 65. analyzes ‎ ‎ ‎ 应用文（15分）‎ Dear Sir/ Madam I'm Li Hua, a 16-year-old girl from Xinhua High School.

It is peaceful, so wear blue if you want to keep yourself cool during a busy day playing with the children or dealing with much complicated work. By contrast, orange creates a joyful atmosphere and focused activity. Also, ⑮yellow is a cheerful color reminding us of summer days, and it aids in decision-making.

Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can’t understand them. ⑱But if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh about the mistakes you make. Don’t be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes.
