11.D【解析】本文是一篇说明文在西方的传统观念中，成年意味着离开父母独立生活然而现在越来越多的西方年轻人更倾向于与父母住在一起【8题详解】细节理解题根据文章第一段中的But throughworking asa part-time skatinginstructor andrestaurant server,she isntable toearn enoughto liveanywhere otherthan home.”可知，如果不住在家里，通过做兼职滑冰教练和餐馆服务员，Hipp是不能赚取足够的钱来找一个地方住故选C【9题详解】推理判断题根据文章第四段“It findsthat millennialshave redefinedthe tiesthat connectparents andchildren.Millennials seetheir parentsas peers,friends andinstructors.Nearly threequarters talkedwith their parents morethan oncea weekduring college（.研究发现，千禧一代重新定义了父母和孩子之间的联系千禧一代视父母为同龄人、朋友和导师近四分之三的人在大学期间每周与父母交谈不止一次）”可推断，千禧一代和父母相处得很好故选A【10题详解】推理判断题根据文章第五段的“said thenumber ofyoung adultsstriking outon theirown fellduring theGreat Recession.Although jobgrowth formillennials since2014has improved,that doesntnecessarily meanthat millennialsare startingto flythe nest.（他说，在大萧条期间，年轻人依靠自己自立谋生的人数下降了虽然自2014年以来千禧一代的就业增长有所改善，但这并不一定意味着千禧一代开始筑巢）”和“He said,“They maylike livingat homeand beingable tosave money.（他们可能喜欢住在家里，能够省钱）”可推断，Hoffman认为尽管就业有所改善，年轻人会继续住在家里家故选B【11题详解】推理判断题纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍了在美国，越来越多的年轻人倾向于与父母同住的这样一种社会趋势，所以D项“告诉人们美国的一种社会趋势”最能概括作者的写作目的故选D D3D technologyhas nowhit itsthird eraof mainstreampopularity.But unlikethe3D technologyin the1950s orthe1980s,the current3D marketdoesnt seemto beabout tocrash.The nextmarket for3D moviesappears to be thehome market.While somehome videoreleases haveincluded anaglyph（立体）glasses,consumers haveonly recentlyhad thechance tobuy true3D-capable televisions.3D-ready televisionsoffer a3D modethat workswith apair ofbattery-powered LCDshutter lenses.These glassesdiffer frompolarized lenses（偏光镜片）as theycontain liquid crystal displaysthat aresynchronized（同步）with thevideo displayto letlight passthrough atspecific intervals.Shutter lenseshave to be keptsynchronized withthe displayeither througha cableor wirelesssignal.Despite recentadvances intechnology,3D remainsan imperfectand relativelyexpensive technology.People wholike watchingTV oftenblame thefact that3D versionsof filmsarent assharp orrich incolor astheir2D versions.Polarized glassesalso reduce peripheral vision（周边视觉）and leaveviewers focusedon thecenter of the screen.Newer3D technologieswill hopefullyovercome theseshortcomings.Besides modestimprovements,3D producersare alsoworking tobreak through the nextsignificant barrierin3D display.A number of auto stereoscopic（自动立彳本的）displays arecurrently beingdesigned.Like stereoscopic screens,auto stereoscopic screens displaytwo imagesthat aremerged intoone tocause a3D effect.However,auto stereoscopicscreens get rid of the need for glasses entirely.Using lenticular（透镜的）screens,auto stereoscopicdisplays producea changeableimage dependingon theangle atwhich aperson viewsthe screen.To date,this technologyis onlybeing employedfor smallerdevices likecellphones.Currently,the auto stereoscopic effectis difficultto achieveon largerscreens becauseit requiresthe viewerto viewthe screenfrom adirect andconstant angle.But atthe currentrate of advancing technologyit shouldntbe toolong beforeviewers areable tosit downat homeor ina theaterand enjoya true3D experiencewithout the need for glasses.
12.What dowe know abouttheliquid crystal displays A.They letthe lightfrom the screens through at anytime.B.They functionwhen thevideo displayis working.C.They arebuilt intothe polarized lenses.D.They canreduce peripheral vision on the screen.
13.What shortcomingdo recent3D versionsof filmshave A.They are not availablein themarket now.B.They arewatched throughpolarized glasses.C.Their imagesarent clearand colorful.D.Viewers have to centreon the screen.
14.Unlike stereoscopicscreens,what featuresdo auto stereoscopicscreenshave A.They makeviewers focuson the screen centre.B.They displaytwo imagesmerged intoone.C.They canbe viewedwithout glasses.D.They need to be viewed fromdifferent angles.
