Old Man Myths and Realities
When does a middle-aged man become an old man? Officially, of course, it's when we reach retirement age. But, as we all know, this is a fairly blunt method of decision making. As life expectancy increases, retirement planning needs to be changed. This is because being an old man today is very different from what it was a generation or so ago.
Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. These days people are talking about the young-old, that is ages 70--75, and those over 75 as the old-old. The young-old frequently continue in good health and maintain strong links with friends and family. The old-old have a much higher chance of poor health and social isolation.
Although men are living longer, there are still more old women than old men. This fact alone should arouse interest as to why. Relatively little is actually known about why this is the case or about the experiences of the old man. Sure, we are aware that the old man experiences anxiety, financial problems, loneliness, etc., but that's rea1ly about all we know.
It is usually believed that the old man often complains about their health. In fact, most old men think their health is good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronic illness. The physical health of the old man is strongly affected by their health behavior when they were younger.
1、Paragraph 1_________.
A、New Definitions of the Old Man
B、Changing Concept of the Old Man
C、Health of the Old Man
D、Happy Old Man and Sad Old Man
E、Limited Knowledge of the Old Man's
F、Contempt for the Old Man
【正確答案】 B
【答案解析】 首先注意到段落中retirements這個(gè)詞在反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，因此這個(gè)詞可能是該段的主題詞，可是被選項(xiàng)中沒(méi)有retirements出現(xiàn)，從第一個(gè)retirements出現(xiàn)的句子來(lái)看(When does a middle-aged man become an old man? Officially, of course, it’s when we reach retirement age)，該句是說(shuō)retirements是作為老年人的判斷標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(也就是關(guān)于老年人的定義)，所以A和B可能是答案，但是A中提到的是definitions(幾個(gè)定義)， 但是我們發(fā)現(xiàn)段落中并沒(méi)有具體提到關(guān)于老年人的幾個(gè)新定義， 因此判斷B是答案。
2、Paragraph 2_________.
A、New Definitions of the Old Man
B、Changing Concept of the Old Man
C、Health of the Old Man
D、Happy Old Man and Sad Old Man
E、Limited Knowledge of the Old Man's
F、Contempt for the Old Man
【正確答案】 A
【答案解析】 段落中出現(xiàn)了一些明顯的細(xì)節(jié)詞： Sixty-five(65)， 70 -75， 75(提示：段落中的細(xì)節(jié)句往往直接涉及到段落的主題)， Sixty-five所在的句子說(shuō)“65歲是新時(shí)代的中年人”， 70 -75和75所在的句子說(shuō)“年輕的老年人是70-75歲， 75歲以上才是年老的老年人”， 顯然這些句子在對(duì)不同年齡階段的老年人進(jìn)行定義，因此判斷A是答案。
3、Paragraph 3_________.
A、New Definitions of the Old Man
B、Changing Concept of the Old Man
C、Health of the Old Man
D、Happy Old Man and Sad Old Man
E、Limited Knowledge of the Old Man's
F、Contempt for the Old Man
【正確答案】 E
【答案解析】 我們?cè)诙温渲邪l(fā)現(xiàn)experiences的重復(fù)出現(xiàn)，因此推測(cè)該詞可能是該段的主題詞。因此推測(cè)E可能是答案。 段落中的第2句說(shuō)“對(duì)于為什么是這樣的情況或者對(duì)于老年男人的生活經(jīng)歷知道的相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)較少”， 該句內(nèi)容正好也與E的內(nèi)容一致，因此肯定了E是答案。
4、Paragraph 4_________.
A、New Definitions of the Old Man
B、Changing Concept of the Old Man
C、Health of the Old Man
D、Happy Old Man and Sad Old Man
E、Limited Knowledge of the Old Man's
F、Contempt for the Old Man
【正確答案】 C
【答案解析】 該段由3個(gè)句子組成， 而這3個(gè)句子中都涉及到health這個(gè)詞，因此肯定地判斷health應(yīng)該是這個(gè)段落的主題詞， 因此確認(rèn)C是答案。
5、Nowadays men generally live longer than _________.
A、in good health
B、in the past
C、in the wrong
D、the old man
E、a middle-aged man
F、a young man
【正確答案】 B
【答案解析】 可以直接借助搭配語(yǔ)意： 現(xiàn)在男人比…活得更長(zhǎng)，判斷B合適“過(guò)去”。
6、A man in his mid-60s is now regarded as _________.
A、in good health
B、in the past
C、in the wrong
D、the old man
E、a middle-aged man
F、a young man
【正確答案】 E
【答案解析】 該題可以借助搭配語(yǔ)意：60多歲的男人現(xiàn)在被認(rèn)為是…, 判斷E(中年男人)是答案. 也可以借助文章中的相關(guān)語(yǔ)句: 借助空格前面結(jié)構(gòu)中的特征詞mid-60s作為答案線索, 這樣找到答案相關(guān)句: Sixty-five (與mid-60s呼應(yīng))is the new middle-aged man, 因此判斷E是答案.
7、More research should be done on the experiences of _________.
A、in good health
B、in the past
C、in the wrong
D、the old man
E、a middle-aged man
F、a young man
【正確答案】 D
【答案解析】 空格前面的內(nèi)容中談到experiences(經(jīng)歷)借助剛才在做概括大意題時(shí)所了解到的內(nèi)容: 文章第3段講述對(duì)老年男人的生活經(jīng)歷知道的很少, 所以判斷D是答案.
8、Most old men consider themselves to be _________.
A、in good health
B、in the past
C、in the wrong
D、the old man
E、a middle-aged man
F、a young man
【正確答案】 A
【答案解析】 該題可以直接借助搭配處語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)的需要和搭配語(yǔ)意判斷答案: F放入空格中肯定不行, 因?yàn)镕是單數(shù)名詞, 而與空格結(jié)構(gòu)相呼應(yīng)的是表意為復(fù)數(shù)的代詞themselves, 所以不行; C放在空格中語(yǔ)意不通：“大多數(shù)老年人認(rèn)為自己錯(cuò)了”這個(gè)句子不合理, 所以答案只有A(身體狀態(tài)好). 我們也可以借助文章中的相關(guān)內(nèi)容: 借助空格前面結(jié)構(gòu)中的核心短語(yǔ)Most old men作為答案線索，這樣找到答案相關(guān)句：In fact, most old men think their health is good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronic illness.
