阅读理解。     We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代沟). The name is new, but the idea
is old. Young people and their parents don"t understand each other. The world has always kept
changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, "Bury me on my face because
in a little while everything will be turned upside down."
    There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old
Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.
    "When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But
when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn"t have enough
to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to
meetings and talked a lot, but it didn"t seem to make much difference. "
    "Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn"t know when the fighting would stop. They
wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn"t want to think about the future.
They thought nothing could be done about it."
   "Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world
better. They are trying to help other people. They"re making people listen to them. I am proud
of their generation."1. The wise man mentioned in the text told people to bury him on his face so that when everything
is turned upside down he will _____.A. lie on his stomach

阅读理解。     Technology is the application(应用) of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern
technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New
machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall
output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in
America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television
sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available to us, by means of
modern farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via
(通过) medical technology.
     Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the
answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as
we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology
depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics(统计) show that the United
States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are
running out of some scarce resources(少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes
(代用品)for many of them through our research programs.
     Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production(land, labor and capital)
are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills, on techniques in medicine, people
will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or
inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us
maintain our standard of living. 1. What is the best title for the passage? A. The definition of technology
B. Modern technology
C. The application of technology
D. The development of technology2. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. Modern technology is the key to the improvement of standard of living.
B. The three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology.
C. Technology is the response to our needs.
D. The United States is making great efforts to advance its technology. 3. According to the passage, people can live a long life with the help of _______.A. higher quality of life
B. medical technology
C. modern farming machinery
D. technological substitute

     The trip to that city was eye opening for everyone,and near its end,all the young people

完形填空。     The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community.As a result,
all students must   1   sixty hours of service learning,  2   they will not receive a diploma.Service
learning is academiclearning that also helps the community.  3   of service learning include cleaning
up a polluted river,working in a soup kitchen,or tutoring a student.  4   a service experience,
students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a   5   about what they have learned.
     Supporters claim that there are many   6   of service learning.Perhaps most importantly,students
are forced to think   7   their own interests and become   8   of the needs of others.Students a

     For example,if a student wonders what teaching is like,he or she can choose to work in an
elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.  12   there are many benefits,
opponents(反对者)  13   problems with the new requirement.First,they   14   that the main
reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills.Because service learning is
time consuming,students spend   15   time studying the core subjects.Second,they believethat
forcing students to work without   16   goes against the law.By requiring service,the school
takes away an individual’s freedom to choose.
     In my view,service learning is a great way to   17   to the community,learn new skills,and
explore different careers.  18  ,I don’t believe you should force people to help others-the
  19   to help must come from the heart.I think the best   20   is one that gives students choices:
a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service.

     Within a few short years, girls in Europe have be－come heavier smokers than boys according to a
British study presented (递交) last week to an international conference on smoking.
     Antismoking activists (积极分子) at the second Tobacco or Health conference in the Canary Islands
pointed out that while adults were giving up smoking in ever growing numbers, more and more young
people were taking up the habit, particularly girls.
     One in four 15-year-olds is a regular smoker, according to a study made in 27 countries in Europe
and the United States, Canada and Israel-by Edinburgh University together with the World Health
Organization.
     In Western Europe, girls were more likely than boys to smoke. In Germany or in England, one third of
the girls were smokers compared to one in four boys. In Eastern Europe, the girls "still fall behind" those in the Western Europe, but were "catching up" quickly, said the study.
     The study dealt with the behavior of 15-year-olds in seven European countries over four-year period
between 1986 and 1998.
     The percentage of young women smoking went from 17 percent to 36 percent in Austria, from 17
percent to 28 percent in Norway, from 21 percent to 28 percent in Hungary.
     In the seven countries and regions-Austria, Fin－land, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and
Wales-more girls smoked than boys in 1998, with the exception of Hungary.

1. The study was made by ______.A. Edinburgh University
B. the World Health Organization
C. Oxford University
D. Edinburgh University and the World Health Or－ganization2. The country where the number of young women smokers increases fastest is ______.A. Norway
B. Austria
C. Hungary
D. Sweden3. The main idea of the passage is to ______.A. introduce something about girl smokers in Europe
B. report something interesting happened in England

阅读理解     A different sort of generation gap is developing in the workplace. Someone - specifically the father-
daughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnson - has figured out that on some American job sites, five
generations are working side by side.
     In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference
adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences, it can also bring tensions and conflicts.
     The Johnsons are human-resource trainers and pubic speakers. Dad Larry is a former health-care
executive; daughter Meagan is a onetime high-level sales manager.
     Here are the oldest and youngest of the five generations they identify:
     They call the oldest group Traditionals, born before 1945. They were heavily influenced by the
lessons of the Great Depression and World War. They respect authority, set a high standard of
workmanship, and communicate easily and confidently. But they’re also stubbornly independent. They
want their opinions heard.
     At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Linksters, born after 1995 into today"s more
complicated, multimedia world. They live and breathe technology and are often social activists.
     You won"t find many l5-year olds in the offices of large companies, except as volunteers, of course,
but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice
cream stores.
     The Johnsons, Larry and Meagan, represent a generation gap themselves in their work with jobsite
issues. The Johnsons" point is that as the average lifespan continues to rise and retirement dates get
delayed because of the tight economy, people of different generations are working side by side, more
often bringing with them very different ideas about company loyalty and work values.
     The five generations are heavily influenced by quite different events, social trends, and the cultural
phenomena of their times. Their experiences shape their behavior and make it difficult, sometimes, for
managers to achieve a strong and efficient workplace.
     Larry and Meagan Johnson discuss all this in greater detail in a new book, "Generations, Inc. : From
Boomers to Linksters - Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work, "published by Amacom
Press, which is available in all good bookstores from this Friday.    1. The type of generation gap in Paragraph 1 refers to the difference in beliefs ____.   A. between managers and workers
B. among family members
C. among employees
D. between older and newer companies     2. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Traditionals?

A. They"ve learned much from war and economic disaster.
B. They"re difficult to work with as they are stubborn.
C. They respect their boss and hope to be respected.
D. They"re independent workers with great confidence.

3. According to the passage, the Linksters are usually ____.    A. found working in the offices of large companies
B. influenced by multimedia and technology
C. enthusiastic multimedia activists
D. ice cream sellers4. According to the passage, modern workforces are more diverse because ____.   A. people want to increase their average lifespan
B. many young people are entering the workforce
C. employees with different values can benefit their companies
D. retirement dates are being delayed for economic reasons    5. What"s the main purpose of the passage?    A. To promote a new book by Larry and Meagan Johnson.
B. To describe the five different workplace generations.
C. To introduce the Johnsons" research about diverse workforces.
D. To identify a major problem in modern workforces.
