文章精要
　　很多人错误地认为当他们步入老年时，家人会将他们送进老人院，他们将生活在一个孤独陌生的环境里。但文章指出，这个观点是错误的，并通过介绍社会学家们的研究和发现论述了这个观点错误的原因。
　　67．A惯用搭配题。In the hands of意为“由……控制或照料”，是惯用搭配，刚好与句意相符，所以A正确。
　　*考点
　　●关于hand的短语有：at one’s hands出自某人之手；in hand在控制之中；off(one’s)hands脱离(某人的)管辖权，如：We finally got that project of four hands．我们终于不用管那项工程了。
　　68．B逻辑衔接题。此处缺少的是定语，四个选项中A、B都可以充当定语，growing意为“成长的．正在长大的”，grown意为“长大成人的，成年的”，结合前文内容可知，应选B。
　　69．C词义辨析题。regular意为“定期的，有规律的”，与visitors搭配指“定期来看望的人”，故选C。normal意为“正常的”，constant意为“经常的”，lasting意为“持续的”，均排除。
　　70．A词义辨析题。下文对前面提到的观点进行了反驳，也就是说前面所说的情况不是真实存在的，故选A(不真实的，虚构的)。imaginable意为“可想象的”，imaginative意为“富于想像力的”，imagery意为“肖像”，均排除。
　　71．A逻辑衔接题。此处应用that引导定语从句充当care的定语，故选A。
　　72．B逻辑衔接题。根据上下文可知，该句谈到社会学家研究了美国家庭如何在改变，应该用how引导宾语从句，表示改变的方式，故选B。
　　73．D词义辨析题。common意为“普通的，共同的”，强调一种趋同的情况；ordinary与special相对立，强调平凡，毫无特性；standard意为“标准的”；average意为“一般的，平均的”，强调的是在类型或特征上通常的或平均情况，由此可知本题选D。
　　74．C词义辨析题。still意为“尽管如此，但……仍然”，表让步，however意为“然而”，表转折，moreover意为“而且”，whereas意为“尽管”。分析上下文可知，前后两句应为递进关系，故选C。
　　75．B词义辨析题。ago意为“以前”，指从现在算起，故选B。before意为“以前”，指从过去某个时刻算起，故排除。
　　76．A词义辨析题。share意为“共享，共有”，与a common characteristic搭配，意为“具有共同的特征”，所以A正确。

77．B词义辨析题。句中谓语为are，故此处应填入一个复数形式的名词，所以B正确。中华考试网
　　78．C逻辑衔接题。本句的主句是过去时，故排除will和call，而would表示一种意愿，也应排除，故选C。
　　79．B词义辨析题。question和inquire意为“询问，疑问”，interrogate意为“审问”，interview意为“面试，访问”，此处句意为“社会工作者访问护理人员想弄明白为什么他们要承担照顾年纪大的亲戚的责任”，所以B正确。
　　80．C惯用搭配题。take in意为“欺骗；收容”，take up意为“从事”，take on意为“承担”，take off意为“脱下；起飞”，只有take on能与responsibility搭配，故选C。
　　81．D词义辨析题。admiration意为“羡慕”，initiative意为“主动”，necessity意为“必要性”，obligation意为“责任，义务”，此处句意为“护理人员相信他们有这个义务帮助他们的亲戚”，所以D正确。来自www.Examw.com
　　82．C惯用搭配题。make sb．do sth．意为“使某人做某事”，符合句意，所以C正确。
　　83．A词义辨析题。someone泛指某个人，anyone和anybody指任何人，everyone指每个人，结合句意可知，A正确。
　　84．B词义辨析题。elderly意为“年纪稍老的”，dependent意为“依靠别人的”，dependable意为“可靠的”，independent意为“独立的”，此处句意为“当他们老了需要依靠别人时，他们应该得到照顾”，所以B正确。
　　85．C词义辨析题。similarly意为“同样地，相似地”，differently意为“不同地”，mutually意为“共同地”，certainly意为“当然地”，结合句意，照顾老人和被照顾是一种相互的关系，由此可知，C正确。
　　86．A词义辨析题。involved意为“涉及的，牵涉到的”，excluded意为“排除在外的，不包括的”，included意为“包含的”，considered意为“被考虑到”，此句意为“照顾老人和被照顾是一种相互的关系，每个人都有可能涉足其中”，所以A正确。 </p>
