2011年大学英语四级考试已结束，第一时间收集整理试题及参考答案，供考生参考，以下为昂立版听力短文2原及答案解析。 Passage 2 When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services, such as adult day care centers. If the care givers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse, usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and corporative. However, even when care giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer care givers and potential care givers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Care givers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help but they may not know what to do。 Question 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard。 Q29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents? Q30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes? Q31. According to the passage, what must care givers learn to do? 听力篇章2解析考试用书 本次考试篇章2 比较简单，讲述了如何更好照顾老人的社会类话题，关键词ageing, nursing , positive, responsibilities 等都是昂立课堂上讲述的内容。 如何更好的照顾老人，是妻子的任劳任怨，还是依靠日趋完善的社区服务？孩子和妻子不能达成共识。虽然各有利弊，最好还是征求一下老人本人的建议，在子女间达成协议，以能更好赡养老者。问题从孩子和妻子的角度各出一题，最后一题为社会类文章的解决方案。所以看到了关键词adult children和wives，care for ，以及话题转折的turn 如：in contrast，以及社会专家等研究发现的结果。等就可以作答。 建议今后继续关注社会老龄化话题，积累相关词汇，另外一定要注意话题转折的turn 和研究专家的研究发现等。 相关资料 |
