change in attitudes.
An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today?s parents are trying to manage their children?s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.
However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.
In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents? involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn?t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - today?s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.
Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.
Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings. 67. The surveys inform us of ______.

〖2015湖北卷〗“I see you?ve got a bit of water on your coat,” said the man at the petrol station. “Is it raining out there?”“No, it?s pretty nice,” I replied, checking my sleeve. “Oh, right. A
pony(马驹) bit me earlier.”
As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought I?d jumped in ahead of him.
The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite sighs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the area?s annual pony drift(迁移).
The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stoped from feeding on their mother?s milk, and those who?ve gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.
Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near-disaster a few mils west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. “Hello!” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor?s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again.
51.Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies? (汉语标注及段尾句考点)
A. To protect the tourists from being bitten B. To keep the ponies off the petrol station C. To avoid putting the ponies in danger D. To prevent the ponies from fighting 52.One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is ______________.(段尾句考点) A. to feed baby ponies on milk B. to control the number of ponies C. to expand the habitat for ponies D. to sell the ponies at a good price
53.What as the author?s first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back? (转折关系考点) A. He freed it from the trap B. He called a protection officer C. He worried about it very much D. He thought of it as being naughty
〖2015新课标I卷〗Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France?s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true
feelings. It isn?t always easy. They customers - some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session - care quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ?one feels,? or ?people think?,” Lehane told them. “Say ?I think,? ?Think me?.”
A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed?It couldn?t seem more un-French.But Lehanne?s psychology café is about more than knowing oneself:It?s trying to help the city?s troubled neighborhood cafes.Over the years,Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours,a fast food boom and a younger generation?s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening. 32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope? (双引号及汉语标注考点) A. Learn a new subject B. Keep in touch with friends. C. Show off their knowledge. D. Express their true feelings.
〖2015江苏卷〗Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It?s very likely that you?ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization?s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.
Let?s begin with the question of why people volunteer.Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example,people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness,to expand their range of experiences,and to strengthen social relationships.If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people?s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it?s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I?m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must. 61.People volunteer mainly out of ______ . (小括号,转折关系考点) A. academic requirements B. social expectations C. financial rewards D. internal needs
