Just because they can’t sing opera or ride a bicycle doesn’t mean that animals don’t have culture. There’s no
better example of this than killer whales. As one of the most __26__ predators

killer whales may
not fit the __27__ of a cultured creature. However, these beasts of the sea do display a vast range of highly

The word “culture” comes from the Latin “colere,” which __29__ means “to cultivate.” In other words, it refers
to anything that is __30__ or learnt, rather than instinctive or natural. Among human populations, culture not
only affects the way we live, but also writes itself into our genes, affecting who we are. For instance, having
spent many generations hunting the fat marine mammals of the Arctic, the Eskimos of Greenland have
developed certain genetic __31__ that help them digest and utilize this fat-rich diet, thereby allowing them to

Like humans, killer whales have colonized a range of different __33__ across the globe, occupying every ocean
basin on the planet, with an empire that __34__ from pole to pole. As such, different populations of killer
whales have had to learn different hunting techniques in order to gain the upper hand over their local prey

. This, in turn, has a major effect on their diet, leading scientists to __35__ that the ability to learn
population-
specific hunting methods could be driving the animals’ genetic development.

Answer Sheet 2
.
Living with parents edges out other living arrangements for 18-to 34-year-olds
A) Broad demographic (
人口的
)shifts is marital status, educational attainment and employment have
transformed the way young adults in the U.S. are living, and a new Pew Research Center analysis highlights the
implications of these changes for the most basic element of their lives
—
where they call home. In 2014,for the
first time in more than 130 years, adults ages 18 to 34 were slightly more likely to be living in their parents’
home than they were to be living with a spouse or partner in their own household.
B) This turn of events is fueled primarily by the dramatic drop in the share of young Americans who are
choosing to settle down romantically before age 35. Dating back to 1880, the most common living arrangement
among young adults has been living with a romantic partner, whether a spouse or a significant other. This type
of arrangement peaked around 1960, when 62% of the nation’s 18
-to 34-year-olds were living with a spouse or
partner in their own household, and only one-in-five were living with their parents.
C) By 2014, 31.6% of young adults were living with a spouse or partner in their own household, below the
share living in the home of their parent(s) (32.1%). Some 14% of young adults lived alone, were a single parent
or lived with one or more roommates. The remaining 22% lived in the home of another family member (such as
a grandparent, in-law or sibling (
兄弟姐妹
)), a non-relative, or in group quarters like college dormitories.
D) It’s worth noting that the overall sha
re of young adults living with their parents was not at a record high in
2014. This arrangement peaked around 1940, when about 35% of the nation’s 18
-to 34-year- olds lived with
mom and/or dad (compared with 32% in 2014). What has changed, instead, is the relative share adopting
different ways of living in early adulthood, with the decline of romantic coupling pushing living at home to the
top of a much less uniform list of living arrangements.
Among young adults, living arrangements differ significantly by gender. For men ages 18 to 34, living at home
with mom and/or dad has been the dominant living arrangement since 2009, In 2014,28% of young men were
【复习资料、知识分享】


living with a spouse of partner in their own home, while 35% were living in the home of their parent(s). Young
women, however,are still more likely to be living with a spouse of romantic partner(35%) than they are to be
living with their parent(s)(29%).
F) In 2014, more young women (16%) than young men (13%) were heading up a household without a spouse
or is mainly because women are more likely than men to be sigle parents living with their children.
For their part, young men (25%) are more likely than young women (19%) to be living in the home of another
family member, a non-relative or in some type of group quarters.
G) A variety of factors contribute to the long-run increase in the share of young. Adults living with the parents.
The first in the postponement of, if not retreat from, marriage. The average age of first marriage has risen
steadily for decades. In addition, a growing share of young adult may be avoiding marriage altogether. A
previous Pew Research Center analysis projected that as many as one- in-
four of today’s young adult may never
marry. While cohabitation
（同居）
has been on the rise, the overall share of young adults either married or living
with an unmarried patner has substantially fallen since 1990.
H) In addition, trends in both employment status and wages have likely contributed to the growing share of
young adults who are living in the home of their parent(s), and this is especially true of young men. Employed
young men are much less likely to live at home than young men without a job, and employment among young
men has fallen significantly in recent decades. The share of young men with jobs peaked around 1960 at 84%.
In 2014, only 71% of 18-to-34-year-
old men were employed. Similarly with earnings, young men’s wages
(after adjusting for inflation) have been on a downward trajectory (
轨迹
) since 1970 and fell significantly form
2000 to 2010. As wages have fallen ,the share of young men living in the home of their parent(s) has risen.
I) Economic factors seem to explain less of why young adult women are increasingly likely to live at home.
Generally, young women have had growing success in the paid labor market since 1960 and hence might
increasingly be expected to be a be to afford to afford to live independently of their parents. For women,
delayed marriage
—
which is related, in part, to labor market outcomes for men
—
may explain more of the
increase in their living in the family home.
J) The Great Recession (and modest recovery) has also been associated with an increase in young adults living
at home. Initially in the wake of the recession, college enrollments expanded, boosting the ranks of young
adults living at home. And given the weak job opportunities facing young adults, living at home was part of the
private safety net help young adults to weather the economic storm.
K) Beyond gender, young adult’s living arrangements differ consi
derable by education
—
which is tied to
financial means. For young adults without a bachelor’s degree, as of 2008 living at home with their parents was
more prevalent than living with a romantic partner. By 2014, 36% of 18-to 34-year- olds who had not completed
a bachelor’s degree were living with their parent(s) while 27% were living with a spouse or partner. Among
college graduates, in 2014 46% were married or living with a partner, and only 19% were living with their
parent(s). Young adults with a college degree have fared much better in the labor market than their
less-educated counterparts, which has in turn made it easier to establish their own households.
oyed young men are more likely to live with their parents than the employed.
