Reading Comprehension
Directions:
There are two
passages in this part. Each passage is followed by
some
questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four
choices. Click on the
best choice. (20
points)
Passage
One
The youth of today
... A lost generation? No, they are not, as a
whole. You can't make
a sweeping
generalization like that. Yes, there are, sadly,
many of our youth who
apparently have
never been given any values or navigational
(
航行的
) skills with which to
chart their life's course. There
certainly seems to have been an alarming increase
in the
number of youths that are, at
best, wandering aimlessly
—
or, at worst, lost in an evil,
involved
in wilderness of fear, depression, rage, and
corruption (
堕落
) from which
they may
never find a way out.
Others may be lost
for a time but find their way early or later in
adulthood. So, while
they may for a
time contribute to the high statistics
(
统计数字
) of a generation that
some
regard as lost, they may help
improve the statistics as they mature.
Then there are a fairly large number of youths who
are far from lost. I am frequently
impressed and heartened by the evidence
I see that there are still many young people who
are firmly on the right track in life.
I think of a couple
of young girls I have seen on Australian TV
current affairs shows. In
both cases,
the mother died young, leaving a few kids behind
without any father or other
family
members to take over bringing up the children. So
the eldest girl
—
then aged
no
more than 18
—
has taken this enormous responsibility on her own
shoulders. She was
absolutely resolved
to see the family stay together
—
and was doing an amazing
job of
fulfilling her self-appointed
task. If there are others like them out there (as
there surely
are), then you certainly
can't say their whole generation is lost. (Note:
The passage is to be
continued on
Passage 2 of this test.)
