The face-down generation（一代）

If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. The 21stcentury. That would make you young, creative, connected, world-wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?

Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.

Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents". They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.

Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.

So if you're one of the oh-ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.

【解析】

【分析】

本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了“00后”面对智能世界，使他们成为了“脸朝下的一代”。尽管这一代人受到“直升机父母”的百般呵护和溺爱，但这一代人无疑受到了更好的教育和创新意识的培养。他们更愿意成为新时代的领导者，对社会甘愿奉献，他们更有机会做伟大的事和笑对未来。

69．根据第一句话“If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs.”提示可知2004年属于这一范围。故*为Yes, she is。

70．根据第二段第二句“They think of you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much.” 他们认为你是“脸朝下的一代”，因为你经常使用手机。故*为Because they use their phones so much。

71．根据第三段中的句子“Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents". They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports.”可知为孩子包办一切的父母被成为“直升机父母”。故*为Helicopter parents。

72．短文的第四段是从一代人的共*到Malala Yousafzai这个获得诺贝尔和平奖的个体叙述的。故*选C（从一般到特殊）。

73．根据第四段中的句子“The fact that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. ”（事实是，今天的许多青少年都比上一代受过更好的教育，更有创造力。他们似乎愿意成为领导者。比以往更多的年轻人自愿帮助他们的社群。）故*为To become leaders./ To volunteer to help their communities.
