Part II Reading
Comprehension
Directions: There are 4
reading passages in this part. Each passage is
followed by some questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A,
B,
C
and
D.
You
should decide on the
best choice and mark your answer on the Answer
Sheet.
Passage 1
A few years
ago it was common to speak of a generation gap
between young people and their
elders.
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, they discover 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knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date.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.
36.
The first
paragraph tells us that ___A___.
A. the
problem of the generation gap draws much attention
from people
B. it is out of date to
talk about the generation gap
C.
children and parents are trying to understand each
other
D. it is very important for
people to frequently communicate with each other
37.
In a more
traditional society, old people ___A___.
A. have their children respect and
listen to them
B. do not care for their
children at all
C. expect their
children to rebel against them
3
D. do not live together
with their children
38.
In American society young people
___D___.
A. do not need to find jobs
B. marry people younger than them
C. have better education than their
parents
D. leave home at an early age
39.
Which of the
following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?
_B___
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.
40.
The main idea of the passage is
___C___.
A. that the generation gap
needs considering
B. when the
generation gap is necessary in American society
C. why the generation gap exists
D. how we can reduce the generation gap
Passage 2
All of
us communicate with one another nonverbally
(
不使用语言地
), as well as with
words.
Most of the time we’re not aware
that we’re doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or a
hand, me
et
someone
else’s
eyes
and
look
away,
change
positions
in
a
chair.
These
actions
we
assume
are
occasional. However
in
recent
years
researchers
have
discovered
that
there
is a
system
to
them
almost as
consistent and understandable as language.
One important kind of body language is
eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and
when they meet one another’s eyes. In
our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts
only about
a
second
before one
or
both
of
us
look
away.
When
two Americans
look
searchingly
into
each
other’s
eyes,
they
become
more
intimate.
Therefore,
we
carefully
avoid
this,
except
in
suitable
situations.
Researchers who are engaged in the
study of communication through body movement are
not
prepared to spell out a precise
vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs
(
磨擦
) his nose, it
may
mean
he
is
disagreeing
with
someone
or
refusing
something.
But
there
are
other
possible
interpretations, too. Another example:
when a student in conversation with a professor
holds the
older man’s eyes a little
longer than is usual, it
can be a sign
of respect; it can be a challenge to the
professor’s authority
(
权威
); it can be something
else entirely. The researchers look for patterns
in
the situation, not for a separate
meaningful gesture.
Communication
between human beings would be just dull if it were
all done with words.
41.
The main idea of this article is that
___B___.
A. study of communication
through body movement is a new science
B. body movements are as important as
words in communication
C. all of us
communicate with one another
D. eye
behavior is the most important part in body
language
42.
What
do researchers think of body language?
__A___
A. Body language can
be understood and used by people in communication.
B. Body language is more important than
spoken language in communication.
4
C. Body language has been
discovered in recent years.
D. Body
language is the study of communication through
body movement.
43.
The word “intimate” in paragraph 2
probably means ___
B___.
A.
great
B. close
C. good
D. important
44.
According
to
the
passage,
you
make
an
American
person
feel
uncomfortable,
if
you
___D___.
A. meet his eyes
B. avoid
meeting his eyes
C. stare into his eyes
for one second
D. look into his eyes for a long time
45.
The sentence
“The researchers look for patterns in the
situat
ion, not for a separate
meaningful
gesture” means
___
A___.
A. the researchers
explain the meaning of a gesture according to the
situation in which it is
used
B. the researchers believe that one
gesture has only one meaning
C. the
researchers think that one gesture can not be used
in different situations
D. the
researchers look for patterns in textbooks to
explain the meaning of a gesture
Passage 3
Someone said to a
man,
“
Travel and see the
world.
”
He answered,
“
Why should I? People are
the same everywhere. They are born.
They are babies. They are children. They are
adults. They
grow old. They die. They
have the same feelings. They feel love and hate,
happiness and sadness,
security and
fear, pride and shame. That is why I do not want
to travel. I can learn everything here.
I’m going to stay home.”
The man was right. He was also wrong.
People are the same, but people are also
different.
They all have the same
pattern of life--- birth, youth, old age, death.
But these stages of life have
different
values in different cultures. Also, while all
people have the same feelings, the causes of
these
feelings
are
different.
A
situation
that
may
bring
happiness
in
one
place
may
not
bring
happiness in another
place.
For
example,
in
many
countries
old
age
is
a
happy
time.
Young
people
in
these
countries
show respect to the old people. In
Korea, old people are honored and respected. When
they are too
old to live alone, they
live with a son, daughter, or other relatives.
When they become sixty-one
years
old,
it
is
a
very
happy
and
important
event.
There
is
a
big
party
with
many
guests.
They
receive
many
gifts.
When
people
reach
this
time
in
life,
the
attitudes
of
their
family
and
their
community
(
社区
) change toward them.
Everyone looks forward to this time.
In
the United States, it is quite different for old
people. Most old people do not live with their
children
or
relatives.
For
many
North
Americans,
old
age
is
not
a
happy
time.
Most
North
Americans want to stay young. They try
to act like young people as long as possible. They
even
try to speak the language of the
young. They do not like to grow old because they
will not get
honor or respect or
attention. Also, businesses do not want old people
to work for them. So, old
people
usually live alone and they do not have many
things to do. Old age can be a sad and lonely
time for them.
46.
The reason
why the man did not have the intention of
traveling was that ___A___.
A. he
thought he already knew about people in other
places
B. he was too old to travel any
more
C. he could not understand people
in other countries since he was deaf
