2019考研英语二新题型原文

In choosing a new home, Camille McClain’s kids have a single demand: a backyard.

McClain’s little ones aren’t the only kids who have an opinion when it comes to housing, and in many cases youngsters’ views weigh heavily on parents’ real estate decisions, according to a 2018 Harris Poll survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults.

While more families buck an older-generation proclivity to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions, realty agents and psychologists have mixed views about the financial, personal and long-term effects kids’ opinions may have.

The idea of involving children in a big decision is a great idea because it can help them feel a sense of control and ownership in what can be an overwhelming process, said Ryan Hooper, clinical psychologist in Chicago.

“Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves, especially if it removes them from their current school or support system,” he said.

Greg Jaroszewski, real estate broker with Gagliardo Realty Associates, said he’s not convinced that kids should be involved in selecting a home – but their opinions should be considered in regards to proximity to friends and social activities, if possible.

Younger children should feel like they’re choosing their home – without actually getting a choice in the matter, said Adam Bailey, real estate attorney based in New York.

Asking them questions about what they like about the backyard of a potential home will make them feel like they’re being included in the decision-making process, Bailey said.

Many of the aspects of homebuying aren’t a consideration for children, said Tracey Hampson, a real estate agent based in Santa Clarita, Calif. And placing too much emphasis on their opinions can ruin a fantastic home purchase.

“Speaking with your children before you make a real estate decision is wise, but I wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions.” Hampson said.

The other issue is that many children – especially older ones – may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows, said Aaron Norris of The Norris Group in Riverside, Calif.

“They love Chip and Joanna Gaines just as much as the rest of us,” he said. “HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate. It’s not shelter, it’s a lifestyle. With that mindset change come some serious money consequences.”

Kids tend to get stuck in the features and the immediate benefits to them personally, Norris said.

Parents need to remind their children that their needs and desires may change over time, said Julie Gurner, a real estate analyst with FitSmallBusiness.com.

“Their opinions can change tomorrow,” Gurner said. “Harsh as it may be to say, that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child’s opinions, but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best–and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own.”

This advice is more relevant now than ever before, even as more parents want to embrace the ideas of their children, despite the current housing crunch.

  1. 41第 41 题:Ryan Hooper 的观点对应右栏哪一项?

    • A. remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children.
    • B. says that it is wise to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions.
    • C. advises that home purchases should not be based only on children’s opinions.
    • D. thinks that children should be given a sense of involvement in homebuying decisions.
    • E. notes that aspects like children’s friends and social activities should be considered upon homebuying.
    • F. believes that homebuying decisions should be based on children’s needs rather than their opinions.
    • G. assumes that many children’s views on real estate are influenced by the media.

    答案A

    解析原文中 Ryan Hooper 明确指出:“Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves, especially if it removes them from their current school or support system”,即重大搬迁可能给孩子带来适应困难。A 项正是对这一表述的概括。D 项强调“参与感”,更贴近 Bailey 让孩子“感觉在选房”的说法;B 项与全文“越来越多家庭不再把孩子蒙在鼓里”相悖,故排除。

  2. 42第 42 题:Adam Bailey 的观点对应右栏哪一项?

    • A. remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children.
    • B. says that it is wise to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions.
    • C. advises that home purchases should not be based only on children’s opinions.
    • D. thinks that children should be given a sense of involvement in homebuying decisions.
    • E. notes that aspects like children’s friends and social activities should be considered upon homebuying.
    • F. believes that homebuying decisions should be based on children’s needs rather than their opinions.
    • G. assumes that many children’s views on real estate are influenced by the media.

    答案D

    解析Adam Bailey 主张:“Younger children should feel like they’re choosing their home – without actually getting a choice”,并通过询问后院喜好等方式“make them feel like they’re being included”。这对应 D 项:给孩子一种参与购房决策的感觉,而非真正让他们拍板。A 项是 Hooper 关于搬迁困难的论述;C 项是 Hampson“不能仅凭孩子意见”的忠告,均非 Bailey 的核心观点。

  3. 43第 43 题:Tracey Hampson 的观点对应右栏哪一项?

    • A. remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children.
    • B. says that it is wise to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions.
    • C. advises that home purchases should not be based only on children’s opinions.
    • D. thinks that children should be given a sense of involvement in homebuying decisions.
    • E. notes that aspects like children’s friends and social activities should be considered upon homebuying.
    • F. believes that homebuying decisions should be based on children’s needs rather than their opinions.
    • G. assumes that many children’s views on real estate are influenced by the media.

    答案C

    解析Tracey Hampson 说:“I wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions”,并警告过分看重孩子意见可能毁掉一笔好买卖。C 项“购房不应仅仅依据孩子的意见”与此完全吻合。F 项强调“按需求而非意见”,属于 Gurner;D 项是 Bailey 的“参与感”策略,故为干扰项。

  4. 44第 44 题:Aaron Norris 的观点对应右栏哪一项?

    • A. remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children.
    • B. says that it is wise to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions.
    • C. advises that home purchases should not be based only on children’s opinions.
    • D. thinks that children should be given a sense of involvement in homebuying decisions.
    • E. notes that aspects like children’s friends and social activities should be considered upon homebuying.
    • F. believes that homebuying decisions should be based on children’s needs rather than their opinions.
    • G. assumes that many children’s views on real estate are influenced by the media.

    答案G

    解析Aaron Norris 指出许多孩子“may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows”,并称“HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate”。G 项“孩子的房地产观念受媒体影响”直接对应这一媒体效应。C、F 分别是 Hampson、Gurner 的购房原则,与 Norris 所谈的认知来源无关。

  5. 45第 45 题:Julie Gurner 的观点对应右栏哪一项?

    • A. remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children.
    • B. says that it is wise to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions.
    • C. advises that home purchases should not be based only on children’s opinions.
    • D. thinks that children should be given a sense of involvement in homebuying decisions.
    • E. notes that aspects like children’s friends and social activities should be considered upon homebuying.
    • F. believes that homebuying decisions should be based on children’s needs rather than their opinions.
    • G. assumes that many children’s views on real estate are influenced by the media.

    答案F

    解析Julie Gurner 强调:“that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child’s opinions, but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best”。F 项“应依据孩子需求而非其意见做决定”即此意。C 项仅说“不要只凭意见”,未突出“需求优先”;孩子意见“明天就可能变”也进一步支撑不以意见为转移。
