问题: 1. Cet-4-1.10-Exercise 01

选项:
• A. It is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a nursing home.
• B. Sometimes people cannot cry despite genuine grief.

问题: 2. Cet-4-1.10-Exercise 02
C) I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the characteristics adult children look for when they begin the search are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the quality of care, let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.
选项:
• A. What kind of care facility old people live in may be less important than we think.
• B. Men are less likely to give reasons for their tears.

问题: 1. Cet-4-1.11-Exercise 02
B) By the end of the 19th century, as the frontier vanished, the US had a mild panic attack. What would this energetic, enterprising country be without new lands to conquer? Some people, such as Teddy Roosevelt, decided to keep on conquering (Cuba, the Philippines, etc.), but eventually, in industrialization, the US found a new narrative of economic mobility at home. From the 1890s to the 1960s, people moved from farm to city, first in the North and then in the South. In fact, by the 1950s, there was enough prosperity and white-collar work that many began to move to the suburbs. As the population aged, there was also a shift from the cold Rust Belt to the comforts of the Sun Belt. We think of this as an old person's migration, but it created many jobs for the young in construction and health care, not to mention tourism, retail and restaurants.
选项:
• A. When the frontier vanished about a century ago, America found new economic mobility in industrialization.
• B. Seniors at nursing homes could benefit from the weak job market.

问题: 2. Cet-4-1.11-Exercise 01
C) A look at what goes on in most classrooms these days makes it abundantly clear that when people think about education, they are not thinking about what it feels like to be a child, or what makes childhood an important and valuable stage of life in its own right.
选项:
• A. Adults do not consider children’s feelings when it comes to education.
• B. People who take benefits from Social Security before official retirement age will get much less for the rest of their lives.

问题: 1. Cet-4-1.12-Exercise 02
G) Older workers are more likely to have a disability of some sort, perhaps limiting the range of jobs that offer realistic choices. They may also be less inclined, at least initially, to take jobs that pay far less than their old positions.
选项:
• A. Older workers’ choice of jobs can be limited because of disability.
• B. How to achieve mental calmness and contentment is well worth our consideration today.

问题: 2. Cet-4-1.12-Exercise 01
F) Many members of the immobile class, on the other hand, live in the America of the gloomy headlines. If you have no specialized skills, there's little reason to uproot to another state and be the last in line for a low-paying job at a new auto plant or a green-energy startup. The surprise in the census data, however, is that the immobile workforce is not limited to unskilled workers. In fact, many have a college degree.
选项:
• A. The doer of a good deed can feel spiritually rewarded even when they gain no concrete benefits.
• B. The census data is surprising in that college graduates are also among the immobile workforce.

问题: 1. Cet-4-1.13-Exercise 01
G) Back in the 1950s most of us grew up in households where Mom cooked virtually every night. The intention to put a home-cooked meal on the table was pretty much universal. Most people couldn’t afford to do otherwise.
选项:
• A. People in their fifties and early sixties bear the heaviest family burdens.
• B. In the mid-20th century, most families ate dinner at home instead of eating out.

问题: 2. Cet-4-1.13-Exercise 02
C) And yet we aren’t cooking. If you eat three meals a day and behave like most Americans, you probably get at least a third of your daily calories outside the home. Nearly two-thirds of us grab fast food once a week, and we get almost 25% of our daily calories from snacks. So we’re eating out or taking in, and we don’t sit down — or we do, but we hurry.
选项:
• A. We get a fairly large portion of calories from fast food and snacks.
• B. Ancient philosophers strongly advise that we do good.

问题: 1. Cet-4-1.14-Exercise 02
There’re few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down. What does the author say about college students?
选项:
• A. They are closely related to physical and mental exercise.
• B. They think too highly of themselves.
• C. They were unhappy with the bureaucratic administration in their schools.
• D. They expect too much from the real world.

问题: 2. Cet-4-1.14-Exercise 01
Do you really need the rich people? Wouldn’t it work to have the government invest in the nerds? No, it would not. Startup investors are a distinct type of rich people. They tend to have a lot of experience themselves in the technology business. This helps them pick the right startups, and means they can supply advice and connections as well as money. And the fact that they have a personal stake in the outcome makes them really pay attention. What does the author say about startup investors?
选项:
• A. They can do more than providing money.
• B. They offered him a chance to know more people.
• C. They are rich enough to invest in nerds.
• D. They have difficulty following high-tech innovations.

问题: 1. Cet-4-1.15-Exercise 02
This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. “Meal are the foundation of the family,” says Carole Counihan, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together” and strengthening family ties. Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more vigorous than our ancestors. What does “cultural metabolism” refer to?
选项:
• A. Pace of life.
• B. Narrow the gap between blacks and whites.
• C. Changes in lifestyle.
• D. Domestic violence is lessened.

Although Kodak anticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate culture was too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future.

选项:
• A. They are exhausted by the information overload.
• B. They are unwilling to invest in new technology.
• C. They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.

问题: 2. Cet-4-1.16-Exercise 01
Having such a large supply of talented women teachers meant that society could pay less for their services. Women’s liberation opened up new professional opportunities for women, and, over time, some of the best left teaching as a career option, bringing about a gradual decline in the quality of schooling.

选项:
• A. The heavy teaching loads left them little time and energy for family life.
• B. New career opportunities were made available to them by women’s liberation.

问题: 1. Cet-4-1.17-Exercise 02
Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of conventional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in the summer and retaining indoor warmth in winter. The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don’t just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility’s power grid. The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power they tap off the grid, less the kilowatts they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero. How are the residents in the ZEH communities billed for electricity use?
选项:
• A. They are confident of their future.
• B. They do not get decent pay.
• C. They pay for the electricity from the grid less their home-generated power.
• D. They only pay for the excess power that flows into the utility’s power grid.

• A. It causes little pain to either side.
