1.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap，a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience，while children complained 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 critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles. 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 approve of，and often to continue the family occupation. In our society，young people often travel great distances for their educations，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 upwardly mobile 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 ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division 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 obsolete 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 of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society，and in the rapid pace at which society changes.The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.A. the generation gap suddenly appearedB. the generation gap is a feature of American lifeC. how people can reduce the generation gapD. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap

2."... generation gap is narrowing" means" ______".A. the adolescents now become timidB. parents used to get along with their childrenC. the vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents' values and ideasD. parents and teenagers don't like to quarrel

3.Text 2 For years,studies have found that first-generation college students—those who do not havea parent with a college degree—lag other students on a range of education achievement factors.Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher.But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education,colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them.This has created“a paradox”in that recruiting first-generation students,but then watching many of them fail,means that higher education has“continued to reproduce and widen,rather than close”an achievement gap based on social class,according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journalPsychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic,as it outlines a potential solution to this problem,suggesting that an approach（which involves a one-hour,next-to-no-cost program）can close 63 percent of the achievement gap（measured by such factors as grades）between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities,and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students（who completed the project）at an unnamed private university.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree.Most of the first-generation students（59.1 percent）were recipients of Pell Grants,a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need,while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.Their thesis—that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact—was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students.They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-generation students“struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education,learn the‘rules of the game,’and take advantage of college resources,”they write.And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don’t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students.“Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students’educational experiences,many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students‘like them’can improve.” The study suggests that most first generation students____A.study at private universities B.are from singleparent families C.are in need of financial support D.have failed their collage

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the reading passage?A. Parents should be more tolerable towards their children.B. The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom.C. The generation gap is partly created by the older generation.D. The generation gap should be avoidable in American society.

    推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭推理题。本题主要考查考生有效辨别段落核心信息，进行适度推理的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“infer from the last paragraph”定位到最后一段。本题是段落推理题，可以通过寻找段落中心句的方式来解。本段共三句：第一句和第二句是并列关系，均提出“初代”学生中存在的与社会阶层有关的问题。第三句以一个“because”所引导的原因状语从句点明中心，明确该问题的来源是美国高校未承认社会阶层对学生教育经历的影响，说明高校应该为出现的问题担负部分责任。因此D项正确。【干扰排除】A项、B项、C项在此段并未提及，属于无中生有，故排除。

    Generation Gap

    A few years ago,it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap,a division between young people and
    their elders.Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience,while children
    complained 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 critics argue
    that it is built into the fabric of our society.
    One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own
    life styles.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 approve of,and often to continue the family occupation.
    In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education,most out of the family home at
    an early age,marry or live or choose occupations different from those of their parents.
    In our upwardly mobile 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
    ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them.Often they dis-
    cover 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 obsolete 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 of American life for some time to come.Its causes
    are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society,and in the rapid pace at which society changes.

    Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A:Parents should he more tolerable towards their children.
    B:The young generation should value the older generation for their wisdom.
    C:The generation gap is partly created by the older generation.
    D:The generation gap should he avoidable in American society.

    答案：C
    解析：
    由文章第一段最后一句话“Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society", 可知很多评论家认为代沟问题是美国社会的组成部分。故选B。
    around的意思是“围绕；在……附近”，在文章中是指代沟问题已经存在了一段时间，故选D。
    文章中提到三个原因。由第二段第一句话，可知选项A年轻人喜欢选择他们自己的生活方式是代沟形成的原囚之一。由文章第三段第一句话，可知选项C父母对子女的高期望也是代沟形成的原因之一。由文章第四段第一句话，可知选项B美国社会的快速发展是代沟形成的原因之一。故选D。
    由文章倒数第二段“The young and the old seeni to live in two very different worlds, separa-ted by different skills and abilities"，可知年轻人和老年人由于技术和能力的不同被分隔在两个不同的世界里。故选D。
    文章中没有提到代沟问题该如何解决，仅仅提到代沟形成的原因，所以可以排除A、B、 D。 C项说代沟问题在某种程度上说是由老一代造成的，是正确的。

    Directions：　　Please write an essay in about 150 words entitled “Water Shortage” based on the following outline. The first sentence has been given. 　　Outline：　　（1）Water shortage has become much more serious than before. 　　（2）The chief reasons for water shortage.　　（3）My suggestions.

    正确答案：
    Water shortage has become much more serious than before. According to the statistics. 2.2 billion people in 62 countries are facing the shortage of fresh water in the world; there is 300 million people in 26 countries are severely short of water. It is expected that other eight countries will join the 26 countries for severely lacking water in 2010 and 2.7 billion people around the world will face the problem of severe water short-age in 2025.
    The chief reason for water shortage is the low efficiency of water using. As we can see, some water can be reused. For example, we can use the water that we have used to wash clothes, to rinse the toilet. As statistics show, one ton of water will be used while one ton of paper is produced. But with the use of recycled water, the consumption of water can be reduced to half ton. Obviously, with the use of recycled water, the water use efficiency will increase, thus a great lot of water can be saved. But unfortunately, in most of the countries, many companies, particularly in some industries that consume masses of water every day, such as paper making and steel making, haven’t built up their recycle system of water. Lots of water is directly drained without recycling everyday.

    A

    the earth has become physically smaller

    B

    the more advanced ways of traveling has made the distance between countries shorter

    C

    问答题
    In the past few decades,“generation gap” has become a quite popular phrase, signifying the barrier between parents and children. But what has caused the barrier, why do people living together disagree with each other? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:Who Has Dug The Generation Gap?　　In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.　　Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

    正确答案：
    Who Has Dug the Generation Gap? Since its invention, the phrase generation gap has spread all over the world in almost an instant. In the past few decades, although human beings are striving toward more common goals, the gap between parents and children seems to be widening. It is high time that we thought about the causes of this prevailing trouble.
    The most important reason is that parents and children hold different values. With the constant development of technology, social values are also undergoing continuous changes. Because parents and children belong to quite different times, they naturally belong to different value groups, and this in turn leads to the barrier between different generations. For example, our parents living in the 1960s think that people should cherish their membership in their groups, and should adapt themselves to their groups, but we emphasize individual values and are ready to leave our groups at any moment in search of a better one. It is unlikely for people holding different values to agree on everything in life, and the barrier is, therefore, also unavoidable.
    Another important reason for the generation barrier is lack of communication. A good talk can sometimes dissolve the disagreement between people with different values, but the trouble is that there is not enough communication. With the ever increasing pressure in work and life, parents are spending less effort and time with children; the children, faced with heavy study load or various distractions such as IV plays and computer games, are also spending less time with their parents. This results in a lack, or an inability, of communication when it is necessary.
    Besides these two general reasons, there may be some special cases. According to a recent report, about 5 per cent of generation gap results from irresponsible parents. Some parents, especially those without good education, tend to evade the duty of raising and caring their children. The same report also reveals that about 3 percent of the problem results from problematic children who consistently refuse parents~ help. This type of cases represents only a small portion, but the problem is often more serious.
    In a word, except for some special cases, barriers come into being either because the two parties involved embrace too different values or because they are not talking to each other often enough. After finding out the reasons, we may know that it is wrong to blame parents or children for the barriers, and we should mainly encourage communication, for if parents and children can talk to each other more, barriers will have less opportunity to stay.
    解析： 本文要求分析父母与子女之间产生隔阂的原因，属于因果关系的说明文。文章引言段采用了开门见山的方式，直接以代沟开始。Thesis statement用的是It is high time that we thought…，婉转但仍然达到了目的。正文段的衔接词很好地体现了各要点间的主次关系，用得非常恰当。结论段虽然提到三个要点，其实质是在强调前面两个，更强化了文章的衔接。因为是谈问题的原因，所以结尾处的最终评论就采用解决方法，非常自然协调。

  • 第13题：

    Text 2 For years,studies have found that first-generation college students—those who do not havea parent with a college degree—lag other students on a range of education achievement factors.Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher.But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education,colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them.This has created“a paradox”in that recruiting first-generation students,but then watching many of them fail,means that higher education has“continued to reproduce and widen,rather than close”an achievement gap based on social class,according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journalPsychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic,as it outlines a potential solution to this problem,suggesting that an approach（which involves a one-hour,next-to-no-cost program）can close 63 percent of the achievement gap（measured by such factors as grades）between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities,and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students（who completed the project）at an unnamed private university.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree.Most of the first-generation students（59.1 percent）were recipients of Pell Grants,a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need,while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.Their thesis—that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact—was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students.They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-generation students“struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education,learn the‘rules of the game,’and take advantage of college resources,”they write.And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don’t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students.“Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students’educational experiences,many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students‘like them’can improve.”
    The author of the research article are optimistic because____

    A.the problem is solvable
    B.their approach is costless
    C.the recruiting rate has increased
    D.their findings appeal to students

    答案：A
    解析：
    细节题【命题思路】这是一道原因细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干，精准定位，并能正确划分和掌握定位信息的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“research article are optimistic because……”定位到第二段第一句“But the article is actually quite optimistic,as it outlines a potential solution to this problem”。as引导的句子即为正确答案所在。A项中的“this problem”是原文原词的复现，“solvable”和“solution”属于同根替换。A项从形式、语义上都与原文符合，确定为最佳答案。【干扰排除】C项和D项都是无中生有，故排除；B项属于反向干扰，原文指出这个解决措施是“nexttonocost”，并非选项的“costless”。

    Generation Gap

    A few years ago,it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap,a division between young people and
    their elders.Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience,while children
    complained 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 critics argue
    that it is built into the fabric of our society.
    One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own
    life styles.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 approve of,and often to continue the family occupation.
    In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education,most out of the family home at
    an early age,marry or live or choose occupations different from those of their parents.
    In our upwardly mobile 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
    ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them.Often they dis-
    cover 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 obsolete 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 of American life for some time to come.Its causes
    are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society,and in the rapid pace at which society changes.

    The main idea of the first paragraph is that________.
    A:the generation gap suddenly appeared
    B:the generation gap is a feature of American life
    C:how people can bridge the generation gap
    D:many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap

    答案：B
    解析：
    由文章第一段最后一句话“Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society", 可知很多评论家认为代沟问题是美国社会的组成部分。故选B。
    around的意思是“围绕；在……附近”，在文章中是指代沟问题已经存在了一段时间，故选D。
    文章中提到三个原因。由第二段第一句话，可知选项A年轻人喜欢选择他们自己的生活方式是代沟形成的原囚之一。由文章第三段第一句话，可知选项C父母对子女的高期望也是代沟形成的原因之一。由文章第四段第一句话，可知选项B美国社会的快速发展是代沟形成的原因之一。故选D。
    由文章倒数第二段“The young and the old seeni to live in two very different worlds, separa-ted by different skills and abilities"，可知年轻人和老年人由于技术和能力的不同被分隔在两个不同的世界里。故选D。
    文章中没有提到代沟问题该如何解决，仅仅提到代沟形成的原因，所以可以排除A、B、 D。 C项说代沟问题在某种程度上说是由老一代造成的，是正确的。

    文章从三方面讲述了代沟形成的原因。由第二段第一句话可知，形成代沟的一个重要原因是年轻人必须选择自己的生活方式；由第三段第一句话可知，父母对孩子期望过高也是代沟形成的一个原因；由第四段第一句话可知，社会的快速变化也是导致代沟形成的原因。而文中并未提到现代教育使得孩子与父母想法不同的问题。因此D为正确答案。
    由文章第三段最后一句话可知，父母和孩子会发现彼此之间几乎没有相似之处。因此D为正确答案。
    文章主要讲的是美国社会中所存在的代沟问题及其形成的原因，并没有提到如何解决这一问题，因此排除A.B选项；而D项（美国社会应该避免代沟问题）文中也未提及.由文章第三段可知，父母对孩子期望过高也是形成代沟的原因。因此C为正确答案。
