解析:

第1题,在美国一般不用old people指老人,而是要说:senior people,下文多次出现提示词senior citizens,因此选B。

    第2题,that替代前文出现的有后置定语修饰的不可数名词life,为了避免重复。如:The population of china is larger than that (the population) of Japan.(中国的人口比日本的人口多。)

    第3题,此句句意为“绝大多数的老年人退休了或不再全日制工作了”。60多岁的人肯定会是这样的。

    第4题,also一词提示此句和前句一样包含否定含义。

    第5题,下文讲述的是老年人生活中消极的一面。enjoyable意为“令人愉快的”。

    第6题,老人在退休以后,他们会觉得他们的生活失去了意义。in addition意为“加之,除此之外”。他们还觉得寂寞。

    第7题,feel lonely“感到孤独”,lonely孤独的,寂寞的,荒凉的,表示由于缺少朋友或友谊而感到孤独寂寞。alone独自一个人,单个的,指客观上只有一个人。

    第8题,寂寞是因为远离家庭,也没有了与同事的交流沟通。communication指情况、消息、思想的交流和交换或指人在想法、感情等方面的清楚的表达或交往。relations亲戚,朋友,联系,关系或联络等。

    第9题,moreover用来引入新内容以补充或支持前面的内容,意为“再说,此外,而且”,是副词。

    第10题,此句是讲述老人在远离家人照顾的情况下,担心自身的健康和安全。

    第1l题,other与上文的many相对而言。

    第12题,句子后部分现出提示词were。be able to do sth.因为主语是they。

    第13题,when引导时间状语从句说明be able to(do)的时间。

    第14题,老年人在退休前不得不工作和养家。raise/support families意为“养家糊口”。grow长大,成长;bring带来;bring sb.up把某人养大。

    第15题,hobbies与其后并列的sports and travel相一致,即都为enjoy sth.(从某事物中获得乐趣)结构。enjoy oneself玩得高兴。

    第16题,下文出现提示词their larger numbers。the number of+名词复数:……的数量,作主语时,谓语动词用单数。a number of+名词复数:大量的……,做主语时,谓语动词用复数。如:A number of people were injured in the accident.(在这场事故中有很多人受伤。)The number of the students in oar school is increasing each year.

(我们学校的学生数量每年都在增长。)

    第17题,because of意为“因为”与because的用法不同。because后边接原因状语从句,because of后边接短语或词组。

    第18题,此句句意为“因为老年人数量的增多和他们更积极的生活方式,老年人在这个国家中正逐步形成更大的社会影响力。”gain“获得”想要的或所需的东西。

    第19题,may表示不十分肯定的推测。may/might/must/can都是情态动词,用来表示推测。may/might可能性比较小,理解为:也许,可能,或许;must的可能性比较大,理解为:肯定,一定,准是;Can在表示推测的时候,往往? 糜谝?问句和否定句中。

    第20题,look forward to (doing) sth.意为“以愉快的心情期待,盼望某事物的到来或发生”。to是介词。如:He has been abroad for five years.He is looking forward to seeing his mother(他在国外呆了五年,他盼望着见到他妈妈。)

Dear Jones,

      You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following "dos" and "don'ts" helpful.

       As a 1 , it isn't easy to find anyone to 2 in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. 3 , get or borrow 4 ! Walk him several times a day!   Americans love dogs and usually stop 5 to anyone with dog. 6 ,try to eat in a cafeteria (自助餐厅) .

       People generally 7 the same tables and will sometimes talk to you 8 they see that you are a 9 .

       Next, take your dirty 10 to a laundry (洗衣店) ! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people 11 there. They often pass the 12 talking to the other customers (顾客) . 13 ask for information from a woman, if you are a 14 , and from a man, if you are a woman. It seems to get 15 results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the 16    :"Please", "Thank you ", and "You're welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic (魔术) .     

       There are some things you 17 . Don't tell the truth when people 18 "How are you ?" They only 19 the answer to be "Fine". Never ask people their 20 —especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are 21 . Tell them they are losing 22 . Everyone   here wants to be 23 . Don't be late for appointments (约会) ! When someone says six o'clock, 24 be there by six. Americans respect 25 and expect everyone to be "on time".     

       Above all, don't worry! Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money, you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.

Cordially yours,

Socrates

“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 31 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a (n) 32 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 33 .

The doctor described the 34 , which caused the burns. Our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 35 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol). The flames 36 my son’s shirt tail(下摆) and shot from his waist to well over his head.

37 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped(抓住) my son, and 38 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 39 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).

After he 40 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months 41 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking(缩水) and wrinkling(起皱). So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 42 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 43 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”

I 44 this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to his 45 and returned to school with his head held high——glad he was alive.

By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not 46 , so he made the 47 to give up any plastic surgery.

We all have “scars” that we believe 48 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.

But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 49 standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 50 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
