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culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight.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.

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.

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.

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.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题3分,共60分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive(重温) these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research had suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.
They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve(减缓) a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I"m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (伦理学家).
Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common.“People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher. “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.”
56. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “_____.”
A. the new drug B. the research into the drug
C. the memory D. the chemical in the drug
57. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the supporters?
A.The pill can erase all the memories in the past.
B.Some memories can ruin people"s life. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.
C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.
D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.
58. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the opponents (反对者) ?
A. Our memories give us our identity.
B. The memories help humanity avoid mistakes of the past.
C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.
D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.
59. Which of the following statements might be the main idea of the text?
A. People often suffer from bad memories.
B. The nightmares are terrible.
C. Forget bad memories and be happy.
D. The research has caused a heated argument.
