第7题：
Text 4 Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure,younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success,a latest poll has found.Across generational lines,Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life,including getting married,having children,owning a home,and retiring in their sixties.But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life,they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work,to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs,to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life,to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children,and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home,the survey found.From career to community and family,these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession,those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life,from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.Young and old converge on one key point:Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations.While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today,big majorities in both groups believe those“just getting started in life”face a tougher a good-paying job,starting a family,managing debt,and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today.Schneider,a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college.Even now that he is working steadily,he said.”I can’t afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own,so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen.”Looking back,he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young.“I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’t have college degrees,”Schneider said.“I don’t think people are capable of that anymore.”
Both young and old agree that_____A.good-paying jobs are less available
B.the old made more life achievements
C.housing loans today are easy to obtain
D.getting established is harder for the young答案：D解析：根据题干关键词Both young and old agree可以定位到第五段第一句，该定位句指出年轻人和年长者两辈人对于一点是有共识的，即与前辈相比，年轻人在社会上起步变得更为艰难了，get started in life与getting established意义相近，由此可知，正确答案为D。 -

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.In American society,young people often________.
A:rely on their parents to make a living
B:stay with their parents in order to get an opportunity for higher education
C:seek the best advice fromn their parents
D:have very little in common with their parents答案：D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。 -
第9题：
American young people find the transition into adulthood easy to face.A:change
B:delivery
C:transfer
D:transfusion答案：A解析：本句意思：美国的年轻人发现到成年人的过渡容易面对。transition意为“过渡；转变”, 与change（改变）意思相近。delivery交付，递送；transfer转移；transfusion渗人。 -

第17题：
Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
1.Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.
A、 America is a highly developed country
B、 American city people seem to be always in a rush
C、 the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble
D、 Americans are impatient and unfriendly people
2.When the author says “You will miss smile”, he means ___________.
A、 you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happy
B、 you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at you
C、 you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly
D、 you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor
3.In the author’s opinion, ___________.
A、 it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city
B、 people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable
C、 most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities
D、 those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly
4.The life pace in cities is much ___________ than the one outside cities.
A、 faster
B、 slower
C、 happier
D、 sadder
5.If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will _________.
A、 offer his help
B、 stop smiling at you
C、 help you find the way
D、 reply that he is pleased to meet you

A:Parents should be 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 be avoidable in American society.答案：C解析：文章第一段主要讲述了美国社会中所存在的代沟问题：父母抱怨孩子们不够尊敬和服从他们；孩子们抱怨父母不理解他们。实际上，该问题已经存在了很长一段时间。评论家认为代沟已经成为美国社会结构的一部分。由此可见，代沟是美国的一种特征。因此B为正确答案。
由文章第一段倒数第二句话可知，代沟问题已经存在了很长时间。around在此处意思是“存在”，与in existence（存在）意思相近。因此D为正确答案。
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。 -

BEmployees have to take up responsibilities for themselves.
CSuch events could happen again as it is not easy to change people’s mind.
DEconomic security won’t be taken for granted by future young workers.
正确答案： C解析：
文章倒数第二段第一句指出职工的唯一的投资选择（sole investment option ）是造成悲剧的最大原因，从该段第二句也可看出，如果他们将投资分散在各个investment options的话，可能就不会造成这么大的悲剧，故A项正确。从文章可知，人们普遍认为I’ll-be-taken-care-of，但此次悲剧不仅说明了所谓的经济安全的瓦解，也警醒了他们须为自己负责，不能再想当然以为企业、社会或者政府会为他们负责。故B、D两项都正确。从最后一段可知，人们的思想观念不可能一下子转变过来，因而有可能这样的事会再发生，故C正确。D并不是从Enron disaster得到的教训。 -
