Families have been stretched into strange shapes these past few months. Multigenera-tional living was on the rise in many countries, such as the US and UK.
Now, a landmark ruling by Italy\’s Supreme Court has exposed the extraordinary extent to which some Italians have been clinging on to their parents, into their thirties and forties. The case concerned a 35-year-old man who has spent the past five years suing his parents for money to supplement his job as a part-time musician. Lower courts had forced his parents to pay maintenance, and backed his claim that he could not be expected to take work beneath his talents.
Where does this sense of entitlement come from? In the days when every generation did better than the one before, there might have been an argument that the young should have the luxury of finding themselves. But to make this a right to parental support is absurd. The coddling of the group dubbed \\
1.The case of a 3 5-year-old man is mentioned to illustrate________.(A)
A. adult children’s dependence on parents.
B. parents’ indulgence to their children.
C. the severity of family conflicts.
D. the importance of earning a living.
解析：例证题。根据题干关键词a 35-year-old man定位至第二段第二句The case concerned a 35-year-old man who has spent the past five years suing his parents for money to supplement his job as a part-time musician (该案件的当事人是一名35岁的男子，他在过去的五年里一直因金钱起诉父母，要求父母为其提供补贴来支持他做业余音乐人)，该句印证了第二段第一句的观点…has exposed the extraordinary extent to which some Italians have been clinging on to their parents(……揭露了某些意大利人依赖父母的夸张程度)。A项中的dependence on是对原文中clinging on的同义替换。故本题选A。B项根据第二段第二、三句设置干扰，这两句指出意大利父母被已成年的孩子起诉，由此并不能看出父母对其是否纵容，为无中生有；C项根据第二段第二句中suing his parents(起诉父母)设置干扰，但原文意在通过35岁男子的案例说明成年子女的啃老现象，并非要说明其家庭冲突很严重；D项根据第二段第二句中job和第三句中take work设置干扰，但谋生的重要性同样并非引用该案例所要论证的内容，排除。
2.The author feels it absurd for the young to________.(B)
A. fail to realize self-value in their life.
B. take parents’ backing for granted.
C. ask parents to buy luxuries for them.
D. take work requiring no special talents.
解析：细节题。根据题干关键词absurd定位至第三段第三句。absurd的对象为to make this a right to parental support (把这当成是自己的权利并借此寻求父母的帮助)，this指代第二句中的the luxury of finding themselves (寻找自我的乐趣)，B项中的take…for granted是对该句中right的同义替换。故本题选B。A项根据第三段第二句设置干扰，“年轻人应该享有寻找自我的乐趣”是有些人的观点，且文中并未提及年轻人没有实现自我价值的情况，为无中生有；C项根据第三段第二句中luxury一词设置干扰，原文说的是“年轻人应该享有寻找自我的乐趣”，并不是具体的“奢侈品”，且与作者观点无关，为无中生有；D项根据第二段第三句中to take work beneath his talents(从事与自身才能不匹配的工作)设置干扰，但这是下级法院的判决内容，并非作者的观点，作者认为成年人把依靠父母当作权利的现象是荒谬的。
3.The word \\(B)
A. emphasize.
B. stop.
C. accelerate.
D. track.
解析：含义题。根据题干关键词\\
4.Yong people are reluctant to fly the nest mainly due to their________.(A)
A. inability to be financially independent.
