It's becoming more and more common to see adults taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.What lies behind the phenomenon? One is about adults* nostalgia (怀旧之情)for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today's fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later. As a result, they have more time and money to spend on themselves. Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.Businesses have been quick to exploit the kidult trend, and the number of toy stores that target adults has risen. Companies are repackaging products from past decades and also bringing out new ones for adults. Lego, for example, has brought out an architectural series featuring landmarks from around the world.Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests, viewing the refusal as a sign of social immaturity and irresponsibility. Those who agree with this view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly (异常)that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers. On a grander scale, these kidult opponents (对手)argue that such delayed adulthood causes couples to marry later and have fewer children. This in turn can lead to shrinkingof the workforce.of the workforce.national economies, for there needs to be a generational replenishment (补充)From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun. Kidults insist that having youthful interests keeps them young, happy and creative, and their refusal to conform to society's acceptable tastes shows independent thinking. Besides, they argue that being part of the social trend of delayed adulthood is not purely a personal choice. The real causes include expensive housing, increased educational requirements for employment and poor work opportunities.Whether the kidult phenomenon will continue to grow or prove to be a passing trend is anyone's guess. As the debate about it continues, remember that there is nothing wrong with being young at heart.51. What does the kidult phenomenon refer to?A. Adults act like children.B. Adults have child-like tastes.C. Adults go in for collecting toys.D. Adults like playing with children.52. Which of the following might cause the emergence of kidults?A. Different living conditions.B. More choices about toys.C. High pressure of modern life.D. Good memories of childhood.53. What does the underlined word "exploit“ probably mean?A. Get used to.B. Look forward to.C. Take advantage of.D. Make way for.54. How does the text deal with the debate about kidults?A. By strongly opposing kidult opponents.B. By convincing readers to accept kidults.C. By refusing to take a stand on the issue.D. By presenting both sides of the argument.55. What can we infer about the author's attitude towards the phenomenon from the last paragraph?第H卷(共35分)第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分35分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务。A self-service flower shop operated by a college student in Beijing is attracting many young customers, Chinese media reported.Different from traditional shops in the capital, the young storekeeper surnamed Wang opened the first self- service flower shop where people can select flowers and pay via mobile payment systems including Wechat and Alipay.Born after 2000 and a lover of literature, the young man said “he begins the startup (创业)because it will not take up his time': "Besides, people can go to flower shops at any time," he added.
