C>Moreteenagersexpecttoliveindependentlybytheagesof18to24thanbefore.

D^Moreteenagersexpecttolivewiththeirparentsaftertheirmid-20sthanbefore.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：由題干關鍵詞thesurveyconductedbyJuniorAchievement定位到第二

段。由該段可知，25%的青少年認為在二十五六歲之前他們不能自立。兩年前，只

有12%的受訪者稱只有當他們達到25至27歲時，才有能力償付所有的賬單。也

就是說，越來越多的青少年預計在二十五六歲之后才可以獨立生活。因此選A）。

22Whathasmadeagrowingnumberofstudentschoosetomovebackinwiththeir

parents?

A、Theincreasingcostofcollegeeducationandlivingexpenses.

Thebadeconomicconditionsandpossiblestudentloans.

C、Theirlackofknowledgeofhandlingtheirexpenses.

D、Theirparents,insistencetohelpingthemwiththelivingexpenses.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：由題干關健詞movebackinwiththeirparents可以定位到第四段。該

段談到他們這樣做的原因：在當前的經(jīng)濟形勢以及未來可能出現(xiàn)的數(shù)額巨大的助學

貸款面前，他們至少懂得如此行事的必要性。因此B廣經(jīng)濟狀況欠佳和可能出現(xiàn)的

學生助學貸款”符合文意，故B）正確。

23、Whydoestheauthorsaymanyteenagersareunreasonablyoptimistic?

AxBecausemanyofthemdon'tknowmuchaboutfinancesandbudgeting.

B、Becausetheyarctooyoungtoknowthehardreality.

C、Becausetheydependtoomuchontheirparentstoknowhowtoliveindependently.

D、Becausetheyknowonlyalittleabouthowtohandletheirfinancesandbudgeting.

標準答案：A」「

知識點解析：由題干關鍵詞unreasonablyoptimise可以定位到第六段第二句。該

句指出：然而，這種樂觀態(tài)度也許會毫無根據(jù)，因為當代的年輕人—正如他們之

前的許多年輕人一樣一并不十分了解他們的個人財務問題。因此A）“他們許多人

不甚了解理財和制定預算”符合文意，故為正確答案。

24、Aftergivingtheirchildrensomesimplelessonsofbudgeting,parentsseemnaiveto

expecttheirchildrento.

A、pursuetheirowncareers

B、becomeindependent

C^starttheirownfamily

D、becomearesponsibleadult

標準答案：B

知識點解析：由題干關健詞lessonsofbudgeting可以定位到倒數(shù)第二段第一句：如

果認為父母能夠給他們的孩子在規(guī)劃預算方面提供一些速成課程，并期待他們在

18歲的時候獲得獨立的話，那么這種想法未免太過簡單了。這里的flyihenesl的

意思是“變得獨立”，因比選B）。

25、Whatproblemdomanyteenagershaveaboutsavingforcollege?

A、Theydon'tknowhowtosavemoney.

B>Theyhavenoideaofhowmuchtheyhavetosave.

C>Theydon'tknowwhatlessonstotaketolearnsaving.

D^Theydon'thavethesenseofsavingforsomething.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：由題干關鍵詞sayingforcollege定位到最后一段最后一句。由定位句

可知，“盡管約三分之二的受訪者表示他們的父母已經(jīng)同他們談論過存錢上大學的

事情，而幾乎有一半的受訪者表示他們不知道應該存多少錢”，因此B)符合文意。
