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 that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our 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, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, theydiscover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. 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 in American life for some time to come.1. The first paragraph tells us that ______.a. the problem of the generation gap draws much attentionfrom peopleb. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapc.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 communicatewith each other2. 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 children3. 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 them4. 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.5. 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( 2 )If you ask some people,”How did you learn English so well?”You may get a surprising answer:“ In my sleep!”There are people who have taken part in one of recent experiments to test “Learn---While---Sleep”methods, which are now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects, of which English is only one.Specialists say that this “sleep----study”method speeds language learning greatly. They say that the average person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the period during the day---and this does not affect his rest in any way. A word of warning, however, sleep teaching will only strengthen in your mind what you have studied already while you are awake.In an experiment, lessons were broadcast over the radio. Each lesson lasted twelve hours—from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the student awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby(催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ear. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. The soft songs sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 a.m. his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.6. Compared with other methods of learning, the Learn---While---You---Sleep method is____c__.a. slowerb. very tiringc. quickerd. very simple7. By this method, one ___c___.a. starts to learn a new lesson in sleepb. learns how to sleep betterc. is made to remember his lessons in sleepd. can get more knowledge over the radio8. In the experiment, the first part of the lesson was given___d___.a. around midnightb. after lullabies were broadcastc. all through the twelve hoursd. while the student was awake9. Before each lesson finishes, the student has to ___d____.a. get up and take breakfastb. be wakened by a loud noisec. listen to the lesson again in sleepd. review the lesson by himself10. The “sleep---study”method is being tried in many countries to teach__d__.a. Englishb. grammar and vocabularyc. languagesd. a number of subjects二. 介词填空: （按第2册课本第3-4单元课文内容填入适当的介词）11. _In ___ other words(换句话说)，if you get paid once a month, then you have to budget accordingly so that you won’t run outof money before the end of the month.12. If you get paid every two weeks or every week, figure___out___(计算出，合计出) which of your bills have to be paid on each payday.13. The bosses should be rather unhappy as many male office workers like to keep an eye on__(密切注视)important NBA games via the Internet.14. It’s handy to have something in the freezer and less costly __in____ the long run (从长远来看)than making a quick trip to the store after work and picking up only what you need for that night’s meal.15. A good way to begin the budgeting process is to sort _out__ (挑选出，整理好)all of your legal and financial papers and file them so you can find what you need when you need it.（提示：答案必须填入下面的答卷表格内，只要复制粘贴提交答卷即可，请不要用附件形式提交）大学英语( 2 )第二次网络作业答卷纸姓名：学号：专业：所在教学中心：。

《大学英语（2）》期末在线考核一、阅读：20% (所有答案必须填在答卷表格里,否则不得分)( 1 )On September 11, it seemed like New York and the people who lived there had changed forever. These days, however, it’s become obvious that, at least in one way, New Yorkers haven’t changed at all.New Yorkers are famous for not agreeing on anything. Arguments, both good-natured and not, erupt(爆发) daily on everything from politics to food, world events to the price of vegetables. However, for a brief moment, a half-dozen architectural models managed to unite New York public opinion. The models were of proposed designs of buildings to replace the fallen World Trade Centre, and the overwhelming reaction was: “They stink” (糟透了).Soon after the September 11 attack, the property’s owners had consider ed the idea of rebuilding the towers exactly as they had stood there. But critics pointed that the original designs were rather dull and their size made them impersonal and intimidating(令人畏惧的). Instead, they recommended a collection of smaller buildings including office space, retail stores and restaurants, and a memorial to the buildings and the people who died in them.The public reaction to the models was almost completely negative, but that’s where the agreement ended. Some thought the new designs were too big, while others felt they weren’t big enough. Some complained they were too impersonal and didn’t reflect the humanity of the people who had died, while others said they weren’t impressive enough. Some suggested a more modern exterior, while some said it was already too modern and should have a more traditional look. With these ongoing disagreements, it’s likely that the reconstruction will take longer than expected.1. What is mainly discussed in this passage?A. More people agree to rebuild the towers exactly as they had stood before.B. Proposed models have been accepted after heated arguments.C. New Yorkers are well known for debating daily on various kinds of issues.D. The debate on how to design buildings to replace the World Trade Centre is endless.2. What can we learn about New Yorkers according to this passage?A. New Yorkers are very impersonal.B. New Yorkers have changed their life style after the September 11 attack.C. New Yorkers managed to unite public opinions.D. New Yorkers like to argue with each other for everything.3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to this passage?A. Someone suggested that the new building should have a more traditional look.B. People’s reaction to the models was po sitive.C. Someone suggested that the new building should include a memorial.D. Some thought the new designs were too big.4. The reconstruction will take longer time because _______.A. designers have not made modelsB. people have not reached an agreementC. it is dangerous to construct high buildings in New YorkD. the property owners are afraid that companies will not move in5. The word “exterior（Para.4）” is closest in meaning to _______.A. entranceB. designC. appearanceD. materials( 2 )A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders.
