28. Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?
- A. Nick.
- B. Rita.

- D. The daughters.
答案：B
答案句：Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol - one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
参考译文：四年前，他们都搬进了布里斯托尔的一栋三层维多利亚式住宅——这是英国越来越多的几代同堂家庭之一，他们住在同一屋檐下。他们共用一扇前门和一台洗衣机，但丽塔·怀特海德在一楼有自己的厨房、浴室、卧室和客厅。
定位线索：题干“Who mainly uses the ground floor”→答案句取自第3段“Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor”；文中“Rita Whitehead”对应选项“Rita”。
解析：题干问布里斯托尔维多利亚式住宅中一楼主要谁使用。答案句明确指出“Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor”，即丽塔在一楼拥有自己的厨房、浴室、卧室和客厅，因此正确选项为B。选项A、C、D中的人物（Nick、Kathryn、女儿们）在原文中并未被提及使用一楼，属于无中生有。
29. What is Nick’s attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in -law?
- A. Positive.
- B. Carefree.
- C. Tolerant.
- D. Unwilling.
答案：A
答案句：And what does Nick think? “From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would.”
参考译文：尼克怎么想？“从我的角度来看，一切似乎都运转得很好。我会推荐吗？是的，我想我会的。”
定位线索：题干“Nick's attitude”→答案句取自第5段Nick的直接引语“it all seems to work very well”和“Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would”；文中“work very well”和“recommend”对应选项“Positive”。
解析：题干问尼克对与岳母同住的态度。答案句中尼克说“it all seems to work very well”并明确表示“Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would”，这直接体现了他积极、肯定的态度，因此正确选项为A。选项B“无忧无虑”在原文中无依据；选项C“容忍”和D“不情愿”与尼克明确推荐、认为运转良好的积极态度相矛盾，属于偷换概念。
30. What is the author’s statement about multigenerational family based on?
- A. Family traditions.
- B. Financial reports.
- C. Published statistics.
- D. Public opinions.
答案：C
答案句：It’s hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001to 419,000 in 2013. … Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
参考译文：很难确切说出有多少人同意他的观点，但研究表明，这一数字一段时间以来一直在上升。官方报告显示，三代同堂的家庭数量从2001年的32.5万户上升到2013年的41.9万户。……其他类型的多代同堂家庭更为常见。有些人与年迈的父母住在一起；更多的成年子女回到父母家，如果他们曾经离开过的话。据说，25-34岁的人中约有20%与父母同住，而1991年这一比例为16%。据估计，英国所有多代同堂家庭的总数约为180万户。
定位线索：题干“What is the author’s statement about multigenerational family based on?”→答案句取自原文“research indicates... Official reports suggest... It is said that... is thought to be...”等；文中“research”“Official reports”“It is said”“is thought to be”对应选项C“Published statistics”。
解析：题干问作者关于多代同堂家庭的陈述基于什么。答案句明确指出“research indicates”（研究表明）、“Official reports suggest”（官方报告显示）、“It is said that”（据说）、“is thought to be”（被认为），这些均属于已发表的统计数据或报告，因此正确选项为C“Published statistics”。错误选项A“家庭传统”在文中未提及；B“财务报告”与原文“Official reports”不符，偷换概念；D“公众意见”与“research”“reports”等客观数据不符，且原文提到“hard to tell exactly how many people agree”，说明并非基于公众意见。
31. What is the text mainly about?
- A. Lifestyles in different countries.
- B. Conflicts between generations.
- C. A housing problem in Britain.
- D. A rising trend of living in the UK.
答案：D
答案句：With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families are choosing to live together. … It’s hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001to 419,000 in 2013.
参考译文：由于年轻人负担不起离家的费用，而老年人面临孤独的风险，越来越多的家庭选择住在一起。…很难确切知道有多少人同意他的观点，但研究表明，这一数字已经上升了一段时间。官方报告显示，三代同堂的家庭数量从2001年的32.5万户上升到2013年的41.9万户。
定位线索：题干“text mainly about”→答案句取自首段主题句“more families are choosing to live together”和第6段“research indicates that the numbers have been rising”；文中“more families are choosing to live together”和“numbers have been rising”对应选项“A rising trend of living in the UK”。
解析：题干问文章主旨。首段提出“more families are choosing to live together”，随后各段通过具体事例和统计数据说明这一趋势在英国不断上升，如“numbers have been rising”和具体数据增长，因此正确选项为D。选项A“不同国家的生活方式”范围过大，文章主要聚焦英国；选项B“代际冲突”在文中未提及；选项C“英国的住房问题”只是背景原因，并非文章主旨，属于答非所问。
