Japan
recently lowered its voting age from 20 to 18.
This decision was in order to help young people
feel more engaged in politics. But it may also
signal the change of social views regarding the
beginning of
adulthood.
Adulthood has
traditionally been defined by a combination of age
and the achievement of social
milestones(里程碑)．Most countries have a legally
defined age to determine when a person becomes an
adult—the age of majority. In Australia，most
states consider a person to be an adult in court
at 18. The age
of 18 is also consistent with
other adult privileges, such as the right to
purchase alcohol and to marry.
However,
17-year-olds can serve in the army and get a
driver's licence. The law defines adulthood on the
basis of age and it also recognizes the
process of becoming an adult as involving himself
gradually in social
responsibility. This legal
approach to adulthood is mirrored in other
countries, where there are differences
between
the age of majority and social responsibility
given to young people.
Socially, determinants
of adulthood traditionally focus on a person
taking increasing responsibility for
their
lives in various ways. Completing school, taking
fulltime employment, getting married and
parenthood—these are all observable indicators
to determine when a person is viewed as an adult.
Since the 1980s, however, people have achieved
some of these observable milestones at later ages.
Increased access to education has delayed
young people leaving home and developing romantic
relationships. Economic changes have also
resulted in unstable employment markets and
increases in costs
of living, prompting many
young people to remain at home and dependent on
parents.
Due to these social changes，our
expectations of young people and their level of
social responsibility
have also changed. The
recognition of a new life stage—emerging(发展初期的)
adulthood—has been
recommended to account for
the changes to social milestones that have
traditionally represented adulthood.
1．What
can we learn about adulthood from the text?
A．People reach observable indicators much
later.
B．Age alone is a reliable determinant
of adulthood.
C．Participation in politics is
a responsibility for adulthood.
D．Economic
changes mainly shift people's views on adulthood.
2．What right can people enjoy at the age of 17
in most states of Australia?
A．Voting.
B．Buying wines. C．Getting married. D．Driving
legally.
3．What does the underlined word
“prompting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Encouraging. B．Advising. C．Forbidding.
D．Persuading.
4．What's the main idea of the
text?
A．Emerging adulthood reflects a new life
stage.
B．Adulthood is defined differently in
different places.
C．Social changes are
challenging the idea of adulthood.
D．Adulthood is a combination of rights and
responsibilities.
语法填空
It's almost a
common belief that the best food you can find in a
place is not in the fancy
restaurants, 1
in the backstreets. These spots are usually away
from popular tourist attractions,
which means
that to find them you'll need the spirit of an 2
(explore)．
That's how I came across roujiamo
when I was exploring Beijing. I found 3
restaurant that
sold dishes from Xi'an when I
explored the area around 4 (I) office one day. I
decided to try it out.
My roujiamo 5 (make)
fresh, so the bread was still warm. It was soft
when I bit into it, and
the meat inside was
delicious and tender. In fact, I enjoyed it so
much that I ordered more to take
home with me.
Though it's just a snack, it's still quite filling
and can 6 (easy) satisfy your
appetite.
There are a 7 (various) of things you can
put inside the “mo”， as the bread is called. For
example, in certain areas in Xi'an, the meat
8 (use) is usually beef, but in Gansu Province,
mutton
is more common. And the first roujiamo
that I tried was made 9 pork. However it's
made, it's
still a tasty snack. And for an
American like me who grew up 10 (eat) hamburgers,
it's a perfect
combination of East and West.

语篇解读：本文介绍了经常出现在街头巷尾的美食——肉夹馍。
1．but
考查连词。句意：普遍认为你能在一个地方找到的最好的食物不是在豪华餐厅里而是在街头巷
尾。not
...but ...意为“不是……而是……”，故本空应填连词but。
2．explorer
考查名词。由空格前的不定冠词an可知，空格处应填名词形式。此处表示探索者，故填
explore
r。
3．a 考查冠词。句意：一天，我探访我办公室周围的区域时，我发现一个卖西安食物的餐馆。
restaurant
为可数名词，在文中第一次提及时应用不定冠词修饰，又因restaurant
的读音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
4．my
考查代词。参见上题解析。修饰名词office应用形容词性物主代词my。
5．was made
考查动词时态和语态。本句中主语My roujiamo和动词make之间为被动关系，故应用被
动
语态；根据上下文可知此事发生在过去，故本空应使用一般过去时的被动语态，应填was made。
6．easily 考查副词。修饰动词satisfy应用副词，故填easily。
7．variety 考查固定用法。a variety of意为“各种各样的”。
8．used 考查非谓语动词。动词use与修饰的名词meat之间为逻辑上的被动关系，应用us
e的过去分
词形式作定语，故填used。
9．with
考查介词。句意：我尝的第一个肉夹馍是猪肉做的。with表示“用”，故应用介词with。
10．eating
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，在who引导的定语从句中，关系代词who指代先行
词an A
merican，在从句中作主语，因为动词eat和主语之间为逻辑上的主动关系，故应用现在分词作伴
随状语。
