D A few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience (服从), while children complained (抱怨) that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society. One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation (职业). In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents. In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature (特点) of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes. 69. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ____________. A. the generation gap suddenly appeared B. the generation gap is a feature of modern social life C. people can reduce the generation gap D. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap 70. The word “around” in Paragraph 1 means ____________. A. on all sides B. near C. in every direction D. in existence 71. In American society, young people often ____________. A. depend on their parents to make a life B. stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education C. seek the best advice from their parents D. have very little in common with their parents 72. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Parents should be strict with their children. B. The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom. C. The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation. D. The generation gap does not exist in American society. |

D Life has changed in Mexico City.Streets normally filled with people are empty.One of the most popular professional soccer teams recently played a game in an empty stadium that can seat more than100,000 people.It"s swine (猪)flu that has made life in Mexico City grind to a halt (慢慢停了下来). Seemingly out of nowhere, swine flu has caused confirmed deaths in 12 countries as of April 30.It has sent a wave of alarm around the world.Governments are trying to find ways to prevent further out-breaks.The World Health Organization has raised its swine flu global threat level to five out of six. People may be familiar with bird flu, but they know little about swine flu.Swine flu is a contagious(传染性) respiratory(呼吸的)disease in pigs.It is caused by a type-A influenza virus. Humans can also catch swine flu.The virus causes regular outbreaks in pigs, but people usually do not catch it.However, there have been cases of the virus spreading to people, and then from one person to another. The symptoms of swine flu are similar to the common flu.They include fever, lethargy (无精打采), lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea(恶心), and vomiting (呕吐).The high proportion of young adults among the deaths is one of several mysteries about this virus.Most of the dead had lung damage.What caused it is not yet known. The virus spreads the same way the common flu does.When an infected person coughs or sneezes around another person, the latter is put at risk.People can get the disease by touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes. There are medicines to treat swine flu.Doctors suggest using anti - viral drugs.They keep the virus from reproducing inside the body. And there are vaccines for it now, several everyday steps can also help prevent the spread of the virus: washing hands frequently; avoiding close contact with people who are sick; and avoiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on it. People may worry that they will get swine flu from eating or preparing pork.In fact, you cannot catch the virus from pork products if they have been properly prepared and cooked.Cooking food at temperatures of 71℃ kills the virus. 69.What is the main idea of the passage? A.It mainly tells us how swine flu broke out in Mexico City. B.It presents the reader with some information concerning swine flu. C.It tells us the differences between swine flu and bird flu. D.It mainly tells readers the dangers caused by swine flu. 70.The following tips can protect us from swine flu EXCEPT _________. A.keeping us away from other people B.washing hands frequently C.avoiding close contact with sick people D.avoiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on them 71.What"s the main idea of the first paragraph? A.Mexico City is really a place of horror now. B.People in Mexico City like staying at home. C.People in Mexico City don"t like soccer. D.Swine flu has seriously affected people"s life in Mexico City. 72.What can we infer from the passage? A.At present there still aren"t effective vaccines for swine flu. B.Swine flu is preventable,controllable and curable. C.From now on, people can"t eat pork if they want to be safe. D.All of the dead killed by swine flu had lung damage. |
B See in your mind’s eye where you really want to be in ten years’ time.Choose your own values, activities, and relationships rather than copying tubers. While working with troubled teens, I used to haste them do a Ten Years game in the Future exercise.I asked them to write a letter to a friend as if it was ten years in the future.Most of these boys and girls didn’t think about the next week, much less ten years to come.This lack of “foresight”was a major reason why their lives were pretty messed up.But the real story is what happened to me.I did the exercise right along with them on many occasions, writing my dreams in detail.In my letter to a friend, I had moved to the country, built my own home, authored a book, and started my own business. Over the next ten years, something magic happened.All my dreams became true, almost as if orchestrated (精心安排) by an unseen hand.I realized that something very powerful was happening, more powerful than expected.I did write books and start my business.We did move to the country and I did build my own home. This letter to a friend will become a magnetic factor in your life.Your vision will guide you in your yearly goals, your monthly goals, and your daily activities. You must write your letter as if it has already happened.For example: “Leslie, I just wanted to make contact again and tell you about my life.I started my own gardening business in 2012 and it’s really taken off.” “Dear Harold, I met the love of my life in 2016 and we moved to Hawaii where Frank works in a bookstore and I give surfing lessons everyday.We love it.” Remember, describe all the details as if they have already happened.This will help you make it more real for you. Sit down and write (or type) your Ten Years in the Future letter today. 60.It seems that the author’s dream and vision became a reality because the author . A.had put something magic in the letter B.could foresee what would happen C.was experienced in writing the Ten Years letter D.took what was written in the letter as a guide in life 61.According to the author,“Leslie”in your letter should be the person that . A.does the same exercise as you B.will become your friend in ten years C.you know now and may still know in the future D.you can imagine when you write your letter 62.The author advises you to write the Ten Years in the Future letter .
