  D

Grandparents play an important role in the lives of their families, and yet a survey of 11,000 grandparents across the UK, carried out by The Pulse Business and BackThen, has found that 53% of grandparents feel distant from what is going on in their grandchildren's lives, with 39% going on to say they feel lonely due to a lack of connection with their family or grandchildren.

But, in a bid to address these feelings, the same survey found that nearly nine out of 10 grandparents were dedicated to becoming more tech-savvy in order to connect with their families and fight loneliness. In fact, 87% of grandparents highlighted that photo apps are playing a key role in how connected they feel to their families, with 57% saying such apps are key to reducing feelings of loneliness for them.

"It's a strange thing, how the world keeps getting smaller, and yet it gets harder for different generations to see each other," says Ed Botterill, the founder and director of the photo app BackThen. "It's sad that grandparents are feeling cut off from their families. But while there's no replacement for real interaction, it's interesting to see how they are turning to tech, and that it seems to be staving off their feelings of loneliness. And sharing photos online is a great way to give families something to talk about on that next all-family video call."

38. What is the percentage of the grandparents who feel disconnected from their grandchildren?

A. 53%

B. 39%.

C. 87%

D. 57%

答案：A. 53%

解析： 文章第一段明确提到： “53% of grandparents feel distant from what is going on in their grandchildren's lives", 而39%的祖父母因缺乏联系感到孤独 (lonely).

题目问的是“感到与孙辈疏远”的比例，因此正确答案是53%(选项A). 39% (选项B) 是进一步说明孤独感的比例，并非直接回答“疏远”问题，disconnected 的近义词是distant. 故选A.

39. What is Ed Botterill's attitude towards the grandparents' loneliness?

A. Critical.

B. Sympathetic.

C. Objective.

D. Doubtful.

答案：B. Sympathetic

解析：Ed Botterill的评论中使用了情感化语言："It's sad that grandparents are feeling cut off from their families.”(“祖父母感到与家人隔绝是令人难过的.”这明确表达了他对祖父母处境的同情(sympathy). 他随后提到科技的作用(it seems to be staving off their feelings of loneliness")，但并未表现出批判(critical)、怀疑(doubtful) 或完全中立 (objective).因此态度是同情的(选项B)。

40. Which word can replace the underlined part "staving off" in the last paragraph?

A. Reducing

B. hiding

C. highlighting

D. sharing

答案：A. Reducing

解析： 原文提到： "it seems to be staving off their feelings of loneliness" 结合上下文，"staving off"意为“暂时缓解”或“减少”. 选项分析：

- Reducing (减少)符合语境，表示科技帮助祖父母降低孤独感.

- Hiding (隐藏)、highlighting (强调)、sharing (分享)均与句意不符。

因此正确答案是 A. Reducing.

41. How are the grandparents fighting loneliness according to the survey?

A. By doing business

B. By visiting grandchildren.

C. By embracing tech.

D. By giving talks on family.

答案：C. By embracing tech

解析：文章第二段明确提到："nearly nine out of 10 grandparents were dedicated to becoming more tech-savvy in order to connect with their families", 且87%的祖父母认为照片应用(photo apps) 增强了与家人的联系。

选项分析：

- By doing business (通过做生意):文中未提及。

- By visiting grandchildren (通过探访孙辈):未提到具体行动，且调查显示祖父母因疏远感需要其他方式。

- By embracing tech (通过接受科技):符合文中“提升科技技能”“使用照片应用”的描述.

- By giving talks on family (通过家庭演讲):无相关依据。

因此正确答案是 C. By embracing tech.
