Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said 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 it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity thatyoung people have to choose their own ways of life. In a moretraditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to livein the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parentsknow and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education, moveout of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whomtheir parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those oftheir parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do betterthan they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do allthe things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause ofthe gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very littlein common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society isthe third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditionalculture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in oursociety the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. Theyoung and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separatedby different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap willcontinue in American life for some time to come.6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention frompeopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate witheach other7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children8. In American society young people________.A. do not need to find jobsB. leave home at an early ageC. have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.10. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existD. how we can reduce the generation gap二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请你从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

In 1941, 208,000 forest fires burned 30 million acres, while in 1981, fewer than 165,000 fires burned about three million acres. While forest usage has increased, the proportion(比例) of human-caused fires has remained stable; people still cause mine out of ten forest fires. But the biggest cause of fires is arson(纵火), accounting for(引起) 34 percent of forest fires in 1981.1.

The teaching of the Barbizon school, which stressed the use of color and the creation of an impression or a mood, influenced many American artists. One group of American painters, led by James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent, expatriated(移居国外) themselves from the American scene and settled in Europe. Whistler, who is often ranked as the greatest genius(天才) in the history of American art, was a versatile(多才多艺的) and industrious(勤奋的) artist who was equally proficient(熟练的) in several media-oil, watercolor, etching(铜版画)-and with several themes-portraits and his so-called "nocturnes(夜景画)", impressionistic sketches(印象画) of moonlight on water and other scenes. He was one of the first to appreciate the beauty of Japanese color prints and to introduce Oriental concepts into Western art.1. For a period after the Civil War, the majority of American paintersA. was influenced by the Barbizon school.B. painted in the impressionist style.C. studied art in Europe.D. used striking color in their work.2. According to the passage, one group of American paintersA. left America never to return.B. turned their back on the American art tradition.C. copied the style of Whistler and Sargent.D. were unaffected by the European style of painting.3.

According to the passage, Whistler was one of the first Western painters toA. use Japanese ideas in his own work.B. become interested in Japanese printing.C. admire Japanese oil paintings.D. start producing Japanese sketches.5.

The American painters' influence in Europe.【答案】1C 2A 3B 4A 5BPassage 3The origins(起源) of baseball probably stretch back to 1839 when Abner Doubleday, a civil engineering student, laid out a diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and attempted to standardize(使标准化) the rules governing the playing of such games as town ball and four old cat, the ancestors(祖先) of baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had grown rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the country playing rivals; they belonged to a national association of "Baseball Players" that had proclaimed(宣布) a set of standard rules. These teams were amateurs(业余爱好者) or semi-professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league appeared, the American Association. Competition between the two was intense, and in 1883 they played a post-season(季后赛) contest, the first "world's series". The American Association eventually collapsed, but in 1900 the American League was organized.1. According to the passage, baseball originated in 1839 becauseA. Abner Doubleday invented a special diamond-shaped pitch.B. the rules of earlier games were amalgamated(合并) and regularized.C. civil engineering students became interested in playing games.D. the old games died out and a new one was needed.2. What was different about "Baseball Players" compared with earlier players?A. They travelled widely.B. They belonged to many clubs.C. They played by agreed rules.D. They were not professional.3. According to the passage, the Cincinnati Red Stockings were formed in 1869A. because baseball had become more popular by then.B. to enable the amateur players to become professional.C. so that the public had the opportunity to profit from a professional team.D. to produce a means of making money.4. From the passage, we understand that the National League was formed in 1876 toA. reorganize the professional teams.B. enable more professional teams to be set up.C. to provide a governing authority for baseball.D. authorize amateur and professional teams to combine.5. According to the passage, at the turn of the century the only remaining baseball organizations wereA. the American League and the National League.B. the American League.C. the American Association and the American League.D. the American Association.【答案】1B 2C 3D 4C 5APassage 4Although stage plays have been set to music since the era(年代) of the ancient Greeks when the dramas of Sophocles and Aeschylus were accompanied by lyres(里拉琴) and flutes, the usually accepted date for the beginning of opera as we know it is 1600. As part of the celebration of the marriage of King Henry IV of France to the Italian aristocrat(贵族) Maria de Medici, the Florentine composer Jacopo Peri produced his famous Euridice, generally considered to be the first opera. Following his example, a group of Italian musicians called the Camerata began to revive(复兴) the style of musical story that had been used in Greek tragedy.1. This passage is a summary ofA. opera in Italy.B. the Camerata.C. the development of opera.D. Euridice.2. According to the author, Jacopo Peri wroteA. Greek tragedy.B. the first opera.C. the opera Maria de Medici.D. the opera The Camerata.3. We can infer that the CamerataA. was a group of Greek musicians.B. developed a new musical drama based upon Greek drama.C. was not known in Italy.D. was the name given to the court of King Henry IV.4. The author suggests that Euridice was producedA. in France.B. originally by Sophocles and Aeschylus.C. without much success.D. for the wedding of King Henry IV.5. According to this passage, modern opera began in theA. time of the ancient Greeks.B. fifteenth century.C. sixteenth century.D. seventeenth century.【答案】1C 2B 3B 4D 5DPassage 5From the outset(开始), railroad and canals were bitter competitors(激烈竞争者). For a time the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company blocked the advance of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad through the narrow gorge(峡谷) of the upper Potomac, and the State of New York prohibited railroads from hauling freight in competition with the Erie Canal and its branches. These restrictions(限制) and the slow pace of railroad building meant that canals carried twice as much tonnage as railroads even as late as 1852. But railroads had the advantage of speed and year-round operation (canals closed down for the winter freeze) and could be located almost anywhere, regardless of terrain(地形) and the availability of water. These assets, combined with a slight price advantage, produced a victory for railroads during the 1850's. By the end of the decade, they took most of the nation's passenger traffic and carried more freight than the canals.1. What drawbacks were there to the introduction of railroads in North America?A. Some of the gorges, such as the Potomac, were too narrow to use for railroads.B. It was forbidden to carry goods by railroad in New York.C. The Chesapeake and Ohio canals were more advanced than the railroads.D. It was more efficient to use the Erie Canal than the railroad.2. Until 1852 the canals carried more goods than the railroads because they wereA. less expensive.B. much quicker.C. less restricted.D. much larger.3. All of the following factors contributed to the victory of the railroads over the canals exceptA. they operated all through the year.B. they could be built on any terrain.C. they were slightly cheaper.D. they needed water for operation.4. When did the railroads carry more freight than the canals?A. During the 1850's.B. At the end of the 1850's.C. In 1852.D. By the end of the 1800's.5. What is the main subject of the passage?A. The establishment of the railroads.B. Rivalry between the canals and railroads.C. The history of trains.D. Traffic in North America.【答案】1B 2C 3D 4B 5BPassage 6Good morning, students. Today we will continue our investigation of the mosquito(蚊子).We all thought that mosquitoes follow skin odors(气味), but no such odor has been identified. It turns out, in fact, that no skin seems to be as attractive to a mosquito as a current of air(气流) having the right degree of warmth and humidity(湿度). But, a mosquito can be turned off its course by a repellent(驱蚊剂). This is how it works: a mosquito senses humidity in a airstream by means of tiny pores(气孔) in the hairs located on its antennae(触角). These hairs send electrical impulses to the central nervous system whenever they encounter humidity in the air. The repellent blocks the pores through which mosquitoes sense the presence of water vapor(水汽) in the air. As a mosquito comes in for a landing on a warm moist body, the repellent blocks the mosquito's sensors, and realizing that it has lost its moist current of air, it instinctively changes its course.1. What is the main topic of this talk?A. Independence of skin odors.B. Interaction between mosquitoes and repellents.C. The mosquito's central nervous system.D. Components of air currents.2. According to the speaker, what are mosquitoes attracted to?A. Water vapor.B. Skin odors.C. Air currents.D. Warmth and moisture.3. What does the mosquito repellent do?A. It changes the humidity of the skin.B. It blocks the pores in the hairs.C. It changes the moisture in the air.D. It blocks the hairs in the sensors.4. What happens when the mosquito comes into contact with the repellent?A. It quickly moves off in another direction.B. It sends an electrical impulse to its central nervous system.C. The pores in the hairs on its skin become blocked.D. Its sensors become blocked by the water vapor in the repellent.5. According to the passage, what can be inferred about mosquito repellents?A. A degree of instability in their use has emerged.B. More research is needed into their efficiency.C. They appear to be highly effective.D. Their reliability has yet to be proved.【答案】1B 2D 3B 4A 5C三、词汇与结构（本题共30小题，每小题3分，共90分）1.

When Americans take a break, they often head their favorite vacation place.A .intoB .ontoC .overD .for【答案】D四、完型填空(本题共30小题，每小题1分，共30分)1. Ahhh, summer. Time to relax. You cannot have complete rest if you 1 it too seriously. But taking vacations seriously is exactly 2 we Americans seem to do. In the same way our kids' free time is now packed with activities, we adults have turned vacations into "active leisure." Anytime you try very hard to relax, that's active leisure. Our vacations 3 with an agenda, a purpose. We're visiting family, attending weddings, going camping, and making sure we ride that roller coaster-no matter how long the line is. We Americans are so active in our leisure 4 we commonly complain we need a vacation from our vacations. We leave home 5 ; we come back exhausted.That's why many of us have decided not to go. Americans are 6 a few vacation days (14 days, on average) compared with other developed countries, but ironically, we don't even use them. The average American will leave four vacation days on the table this year, which adds up to a total 574 million days of 7 vacation. Our relationship to relaxation seems contradictory. We spend more money than anyone else in the world on leisure-fully one- 8 of our income-and yet at the same time we are No. 1 in the world at not taking vacations.One of the top reasons given for not taking a vacation is that it's too much extra work. We have to get 9 of our work in order to leave, and then we have to catch up on our work upon our return. The longer the vacation we take, the bigger the stumbling blocks appear. So only 14% of Americans will take a vacation two weeks or longer this summer. Bottom line: it's simply become too stressful to relax.We Americans take our time off so seriously that you can now get a Ph.D. in leisure studies at Penn State and 17 other famous universities. That's right-a doctorate, not just a bachelor's. It's such an up-and-coming field in academe that there is an actual shortage of 10 educators. We don't have enough people to teach leisure. I am tempted to make a joke about this, but I don't want to get the wrath of the leisure scientists. They'll beat me up with chairs.1. A. take B. make C. bake D. cake2.

We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument or sing. We can hear music on CDs and on radio or television. Music gives us pleasure. It can cheer us up, excite us, or 2 us.Music can be happy, sad, romantic, sleepy-all kinds of things. But what is it? Some people define it 3 an artful arrangement of sounds across time. Our ears 4 these sounds as loud or soft, high or low, rapid and short. The sounds need to continue for a time in some sort of pattern to become music.Music, 5 language, is a uniquely human form of communication. As with language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and "speaks" to us 6 its own way.What we think of as music depends on 7 we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound 8 to someone from another culture, and vice versa. It might not even sound like music. In Indonesia, gamelan orchestras play music on gongs, drums, and xylophones. These aren't the instruments you'd find in a 9 orchestra in North America.Today, modern communications make it 10 for us to listen to music from all over the world. Music from one part of the world influences music from another part. For example, gamelan music from Indonesia influenced 20th-century American composers such as John Cage.1.
