“We flated the idea t my mum f sharing a huse,” says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: “We spke mre with Nick because I think it’s a big thing fr Nick t live with his mther-in-law.”
And what des Nick think? “Frm my standpint, it all seems t wrk very well. Wuld I recmmend it? Yes, I think I wuld.”
It’s hard t tell exactly hw many peple agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising fr sme time. Official reprts suggest that the number f husehlds with three generatins living tgether had risen frm 325,000 in 2001 t 419,000 in 2013.

【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文主要介紹了當(dāng)前英國社會中一個越來越普遍的現(xiàn)象——幾代人共同居住在一棟房子里。
1. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的they all mved int a three-strey Victrian huse in Bristl和but Rita Whitehead has her wn kitchen, bathrm, bedrm and living rm n the grund flr可知,麗塔居住在一樓,因此主要使用一樓的應(yīng)是麗塔,故選B項。
【微技能】如何收集細(xì)節(jié)信息
做英語閱讀的細(xì)節(jié)理解題時,常用方法如下:
(1)順序原則
一般來說隱含題目答案的位置與題目的順序是一致的,這能幫助我們縮小尋找范圍,大大提高效率。我們做題可采用步步為營法,看一題做一題。
(2)利用定位詞
定位詞和主題句是英語閱讀理解解題方法最重要的兩個要素,前者適用于解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題,后者適用于解答主旨大意題。通過定位詞解題,就是說我們在閱讀題干的時候迅速把題干中有標(biāo)記意義的詞或詞組標(biāo)記出來,然后用這個詞回到文中定位。
什么詞才算是定位詞呢?我們首先要關(guān)注的是表示人名、地名等的專有名詞和表示年份、數(shù)字、百分?jǐn)?shù)的數(shù)詞,以及題干中出現(xiàn)的大寫的名詞。如果題干中沒有以上詞類,我們則需要留意一些表示實體意義或指代一件具體事物的具象名詞。比如本題即可根據(jù)題干中的the grund flr in the Victrian huse in Bristl定位至文章第三段查找相關(guān)信息。
2. A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中尼克所說的it all seems t wrk very well和Wuld I recmmend it? Yes, I think i wuld. 可推知,尼克對于與岳母一起居住是支持并且推薦的,故選A項。carefree意為“無憂無慮的”;tlerant意為“容忍的”;unwilling意為“不愿意的;不樂意的”。
3. C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段和第七段列出的各項數(shù)據(jù)可推知,作者關(guān)于幾代人共同居住的相關(guān)陳述是以公開發(fā)表的數(shù)據(jù)為依據(jù)的。故選C項。
4. D主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文開篇用具體事例引出主題,之后提出本文主旨 ne f a grwing number f multigeneratinal families in the UK living tgether under the same rf,即越來越多的英國人選擇幾代人共同居住的生活方式,隨后用數(shù)據(jù)作為支撐,具體說明這一現(xiàn)象。由此可知,本文主要介紹的是英國一種越來越普遍的生活趨勢。故選D項。
