8．阅读理解

    The latest data from the Office for National Statistics shows that one in every 12 kids is living in homes where no one has worked for at least a year. That may be due to unemployment or issues such as sickness or disability that mean they can't work, and aren't required to. This is known as being in a "long term workless" family.

    The issues faced by children in workless families have very bad influence on their development and education, limiting their future employment prospects, and reducing their opportunities to succeed throughout their lives.

    Not only does worklessness reduce family income, it can also damage families' health and stability, and thus destroy children's development. This is because many workless families are held back by disadvantages such as debt, drug and alcohol dependency, and by homelessness. Suffering from the family problems, many children face a greater and greater possibility of repeating the poor outcomes of their parents. Government research has shown that children in workless families are almost twice as likely not to reach the expected level at all stages of their education. For example, three-quarters of children from families where no one works failed to reach the expected level at General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), compared to around half of children in lower-income working families.

    So attention should be paid to children in out-of-work homes. Having working parents means a child is more likely to do better at school, to have better health, education and development, and also means they are less likely to fall into crime.

    But for some families, worklessness, or not employment, is the norm. They just choose not to work. These families often face huge barriers to getting on with their lives but they take the opportunities offered by the society. Parents' ability to work is frustrated by issues like low skills or poor mental or physical health, or drug and alcohol dependency, leaving children without the stability they need.

    We all want to help workless families with complex problems so that their children can take advantage of the opportunities in Britain. We all want parents to have the chance to go out to earn a living and to enjoy the pleasure of work, so that their children can benefit from the good examples of working parents. In doing so, we should know the need to understand the complex issues that some families face and to develop a new approach to deal with poverty. Because the root causes are not financial. It is about helping families overcome the problems they face so that they can go as far as their talents and hard work will take them. We shouldn't retreat from acting to deal with disadvantages, because we know the costs of inaction to individuals, communities and society.

（1）According to the author, children in workless families may     .

A. have better performance at school               B. take chances to go out to earn a living

C. be more able to deal with their problems    D. live the same lifestyles that their parents had

（2）The underlined word "norm" in the fifth paragraph probably means     .

A. a huge barrier          B. a turning point          C. a typical standard          D. an unusual event

（3）In the last paragraph the author mainly talked about     .

A. raising of social welfare                                   B. solutions to the problems

C. development of the society                             D. reforming of the government

（4）The main purpose of the passage is to     .

A. introduce a study on children in workless families

B. appeal to the readers to help children in workless families

C. present a new approach to deal with poverty of workless families

D. compare children's performances in workless families and low-income ones

【答案】 （1）D

（2）C

（3）B

（4）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，就家庭成员没有工作的状况会给孩子在学习，就业和生活上带来负面影响这一问题进行了讨论。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Suffering from the family problems, many children face a greater and greater possibility of repeating the poor outcomes of their parents."很多遭遇家庭孩子更有可能重蹈父母的覆辙，可知，这些孩子很有可能过和父母一样的生活。故选D。

（2）考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“But for some families, worklessness, or not employment, is the norm.”但是对于一些家庭来说，失业和不就业是一个典型的例子。联系上文可知，一般的失业家庭是因为疾病，就业压力等外部原因。但此处提到的家庭是"they just choose not work"自己选择不工作,所以这种家庭是典型例子。故选C。

（3）考查段落大意。根据最后一段中的“ In doing so, we should know the need to understand the complex issues that some families face and to develop a new approach to deal with poverty. Because the root causes are not financial. It is about helping families overcome the problems they face so that they can go as far as their talents and hard work will take them”在这样做的时候，我们应该知道有必要了解一些家庭面临的复杂问题，并制定一种处理贫穷问题的新办法。因为根本原因不是经济原因。它是帮助家庭克服他们所面临的问题，使他们能够尽其所能地发挥他们的才能并努力工作。可知，本段主要讲帮助那些失业家庭的方法。故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“We all want to help workless families with complex problems so that their children can take advantage of the opportunities in Britain. We all want parents to have the chance to go out to earn a living and to enjoy the pleasure of work, so that their children can benefit from the good examples of working parents.”我们想要帮助情况复杂的"无就业"家庭，这样他们的孩子就可以利用在英国的机会。我们想要父母出去挣钱，享受工作的乐趣，这样孩子也可以从父母的榜样中受益，表达了想帮助这些家庭的强烈愿望，和殷切希望。所以短文的目的是呼吁读者帮助无就业家庭的孩子。故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和段落大意四个题型的考查，是一篇生活类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

    In a win for literary fiction amid declining sales, Sally Rooney's novel Normal People has been named Waterstones book of the year in 2018.

    Rooney's second novel, which follows two young people falling in love in Ireland, has sold 41, 000 copies in hardback in the UK since it was released in August-five times the hardback sales of her 2017 debut, Conversations With Friends. At 27, Rooney is now the youngest winner of the award, which is given by the UK's biggest bookshop chain, Waterstones.

    Normal People received almost universal applause upon its release. Longlisted for the Man Booker prize, the book won novel of the year at the An Post Irish book awards in November of 2018 and has also been shortlisted for the Costa novel of the year, announced in January of 2019.

    The reader response to Normal People had been astonishing. As well as the universal praise, it has been a huge word- of-mouth (口头的) hit. There're customers returning to buy multiple copies as gifts. Normal People strengthened Sally Rooney's reputation as the voice of her generation and one of the most exciting novelists around today. Its success is a testament to the health of literary fiction and indicates that there is still significant appetite for excellent storytelling.

    The award, established in 2012, tends to go to books that are already bestsellers near Christmas. It has previously been won by the late American author John Williams's Stoner, the cookbook Polpo by Russell Norman, and last year's choice, Philip Pullman's La Belle Sauvage.

    James Daunt, Waterstones' managing director, said Rooney's win was a sign of the healthy state of literary fiction, which has seen sales decrease over the last decade. "We are delighted to name it our book of the year," he said.

（1）What do we know about the current situation of literary fiction?

A. It sells well in Waterstones.

B. It doesn't enjoy popularity.

C. It mainly tells love stories.

D. It is a big winner in 2018.

（2）What can we infer about Normal People?

A. It was Britain's most popular book in 2018.

B. It won different awards in a lot of countries.

C. It received praise soon after it was published.

D. It made its author the voice of young people.

（3）The underlined word "testament" is closest in meaning to "________".

A. examination                        B. evidence                        C. concern                        D. statement

（4）What is the main function of Paragraph 5?

A. To attract readers' attention.

B. To introduce other prize winners

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了文学小说在销量下滑之际的一次胜利，Sally Rooney的小说《普通人》荣获2018年Waterstones图书奖。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段 “In a win for literary fiction amid declining sales, Sally Rooney's novel Normal People has been named Waterstones book of the year in 2018.”这是文学小说在销量下滑之际的一次胜利，Sally Rooney的小说《普通人》荣获2018年Waterstones图书奖。由此推断出，文学小说的现状是它不受欢迎，故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Normal People received almost universal applause upon its release.”这部电影上映后，普通人获得了几乎全世界的掌声。由此可知，《普通人》这本书出版后不久就受到了好评，故选C。

（3）考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“Normal People strengthened Sally Rooney's reputation as the voice of her generation and one of the most exciting novelists around today.”《普通人》巩固了Sally Rooney作为她那一代人的代言人和当今最令人兴奋的小说家之一的声誉。由此推断出，下文“Its success is a testament to the health of literary fiction and indicates that there is still significant appetite for excellent storytelling.”它的成功证明了文学小说的健康发展，并表明人们仍然对优秀的故事情节有着巨大的兴趣。"testament"意思是证明，故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“The award, established in 2012, tends to go to books that are already bestsellers near Christmas.”该奖项成立于2012年，通常颁发给圣诞节前已经很畅销的书籍。由此推断出，第五段的主要功能是作为背景资料，故选C。
