2、hich the information is derived。 You may choose a paragraph more than once。 Each paragraph is marked with a letter。 Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2。Finding the Right Homeand Contentment, TooA When your elderly relative needs to enter some sort of long-term

3、care facilitya moment few parents or children approach without fearwhat you would like is to have everything made clear.B Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursing home, or has the industry simply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or

4、is that an out-moded stereotype (固定看法)? Can doing ones homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.C I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the cha

5、racteristics adult children look for when they begin the search are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the quality of care, let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor

6、safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.DThe most recent of these studies, published in The journal of Applied Gerontology, surveyed 150 Connecticut residents of

7、assisted living, nursing homes and smaller residential care homes (known in some states as board and care homes or adult care homes). Researchers from the University of Connecticut Health Center asked the residents a large number of questions about their quality of life, emotional well-being and soc

8、ial interaction, as well as about the quality of the facilities.E“We thought we would see differences based on the housing types,” said the lead author of the study, Julie Robison, an associate professor of medicine at the university. A reasonable assumptiondont families struggle to avoid nursing ho

9、mes and suffer real guilt if they cant?F In the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the most positive picture. They were less likely to report symptoms of depression than those in the other facilities, for instance, and less likely to be bored or lonely. They scored higher on social

10、 interaction.G But when the researchers plugged in a number of other variables, such differences disappeared. It is not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residents responses. “It is the characteristics of the specific environment they are in, combined with their own personal

11、characteristicshow healthy they feel they are, their age and marital status,” Dr. Robison explained. Whether residents felt involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived there also proved significant.H An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health, therefore, might be no l

12、ess depressed in assisted living (even if her children preferred it) than in a nursing home. A person who bad input into where he would move and has had time to adapt to it might do as well in a nursing home as in a small residential care home, other factors being equal. It is an interaction between

13、 the person and the place, not the sort of place in itself, that leads to better or worse experiences. “You cant just say, Lets put this person in a residential care home instead of a nursing homeshe will be much better off,” Dr. Robison said. What matters, she added, “is a combination of what peopl

14、e bring in with them, and what they find there.”I Such findings, which run counter to common sense, have surfaced before. In a multi-state study of assisted living, for instance, University of North Carolina researchers found that a host of variablesthe facilitys type, size or age; whether a chain o

15、wned it; how attractive the neighborhood washad no significant relationship to how the residents fared in terms of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality. What mattered most was the residents physical health and mental status. What people were like when they came in had greater conse

16、quence than what happened one they were there.J As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk, announcing that the five-star rating system that Medicare developed in 2020 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how

17、 satisfied its residents or their family members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the lowest rated, than with the five-star ones. (More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)K Before we collectively tear ou

18、r hair outhow are we supposed to find our way in a landscape this confusing?here is a thought from Dr. Philip Sloane, a geriatrician（老年病学专家）at the University of North Carolina：“In a way, that could be liberating for families.”L Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the

19、administrators and residents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. But perhaps they dont have to turn themselves into private investigators or Congressional subcommittees. “Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy，” Dr. Sloane said.

20、 And involving the future resident in the process can be very important.M We all have our own ideas about what would bring our parents happiness. They have their ideas, too. A friend recently took her mother to visit an expensive assisted living/nursing home near my town. I have seen this placeit is

21、 elegant, inside and out. But nobody greeted the daughter and mother when they arrived, though the visit had been planned; nobody introduced them to the other residents. When they had lunch in the dining room, they sat alone at a table.N The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there, and so

22、she decided to move her into a more welcoming facility. Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that might have been as rational a way as any to reach a decision.36. Many people feel guilty when they cannot find a place other than a nursing home for their parents.37.Though it helps for

23、 children to investigate care facilities, involving their parents in the decision-making process may prove very important.38.It is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a nursing home.39.How a resident feels depends on an interaction between themselves and the care facility they

24、 live in.40.The author thinks her friend made a rational decision in choosing a more hospitable place over an apparently elegant assisted living home.41.The system Medicare developed to rate nursing home quality is of little help to finding a satisfactory place.42.At first the researchers of the mos

25、t recent study found residents in assisted living facilities gave higher scores on social interaction.43.What kind of care facility old people live in may be less important than we think.44.The findings of the latest research were similar to an earlier multi-state study of assisted living.45.A resid

26、ents satisfaction with a care facility has much to do with whether they had participated in the decision to move in and how long they had stayed there.参考答案：36. 正确选项 E37. 正确选项 L38. 正确选项 B39. 正确选项 H40. 正确选项 N41. 正确选项 J42. 正确选项 F43. 正确选项 C44. 正确选项 I45. 正确选项 G好了，以上是松鼠哥整理的英语四级真题的阅读理解-段落匹配部分（不含听力与作文）。在选词汇时一定要结合句子上下文仔细斟酌，注意辨析词汇，最后，松鼠哥希望大家以上的内容能给大家的英语四级考试有所帮助，最后，祝大家的英语四级考试顺利！备考课程推荐：零基础直达大学四级一步到位，高效直达四级水平；听说读写样样通，培养真正全方位英语能力！点击图片去学习8
