(第一小节20小题，第二小节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。a a few months ago as i wandered through my parents house, the same house i grew up in, i had a sudden, scary realization. when my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than i am now. i tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house id still be living in almost 30 years later. it seemed ridiculous. on a practical level, theres no way i could afford to buy a house anytime soon. more importantly, i wouldnt want to. im not sure where ill be living in two years, or what kind of job ill have. and i dont think ill be ready to settle down and stay in one place. so this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. when our parents were our age, theyd gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives. my friends and i “generation y” still arent sure what we want to do with our lives. whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure were happy doing it. wed rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. wed rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account. this casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. some of these complaints have a point. as children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. we grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the internet, instant messaging, and video games. our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)-starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. that doesnt apply to my generation. because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. but thats not necessarily a bad thing. in our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents generation did. by ariel lewiton41. when the author walked through her parents house, she _. a. was frightened that she had no idea what she wanted from life b. started to think about her own life c. realized i should buy a house. d. wondered why her parents had settled down early42. what is the main “generation gap” between the author and her friends and their parents according to the article? a. their attitude toward high technology. b. their ways of making their way to the top. c. their attitude towards responsibility. d. their ways of gaining experience.43. which of the following might the author agree with? a. its all right to try more before settling down. b. its better to take adult responsibility earlier. c. it involves too much effort to rise vertically. d. its ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”.44. what can we conclude from the article? a. the author is envious of her parents enjoying a big house at her age. b. growing up in a hi-tech world makes “generation y” feel insecure about relationships. c. “generation y” people dont want to grow up and love to be taken care of by their parents. d. the author wrote this article so that others would be able to understand her generation better.45. what is the main theme of the article? a. the sudden realization of growing up. b. a comparison between lifestyles of generations. c. criticisms of the young generation. d. the factors that have changed the young generation.bkalle lasn was in a supermarket parking lot one afternoon when he had an experience that changed his lifein order to shop at the store, he needed to put money into the shopping cart to use itannoyed that he had to pay to shop, lasn jammed the coin into the cart so that it wouldnt workit was an act of rebellionthe first of manyfor lasnborn in estonia, kalle lasn moved to australia as a young man and then later to japan, where he founded a marketing research firm in tokyoeventually, lasn moved to canada and for several years produced documentaries （纪录片） for public televisionin the late 1980s, lasn made an advertisement that spoke out against the logging industry and the deforestation going on in the pacific northwestwhen he tried to show his ad on tv, though, no station in this area would give him airtimein response, lasn and a colleague founded adbusters media foundation, a company for the human right to communicateadbusters produces magazine, newspaper, and tv ads with a social messagemany use humor and irony to make their points: in one, for example, a man chain smokes a brand of cigarettes called hopein another, a child is dressed in an outfit used in fast-food adsnext to the child is a note from its mother telling the restaurant to leave her child alone /.comadbusters also has a magazine and a web site, the culture jammers network, whose members include students, artists, and activists as well as educators and businesspeople interested in social changemany of these culture jammers are working to raise awareness about different social issues by hosting events like buy nothing day , no car day and tv turnoff week lasn and his partners hope these events will encourage people to think about questions such as;what kinds of things are we being encouraged to buy by the media?should cars be our primary means of transportation?how are television and radio being used now? how could we be using them?some culture jammers are using other methods to challenge how people thinksome pretend to be shoppersthey move items in stores from one shelf to another making it difficult for people to find things easilyother culture jammers break into large company well sites and jam them so that they become unusablethe goal in both cases ia to prevent business as usual and to gel people to ask themselves questions such as why am i shopping here? or why should i buy this product?lasn and members of the culture jammers network want to make people aware of social issues, but they also believe its important to think of solutions, tooa lot of people tell you everything thats wrong but they never say much about how to fix these problems, says lasnbut there is plenty we can doif you start despairing, you have lost everythingthough many tv stations still wont show adbusters uncommercials , some cable tv stations have started topeople all over the world have joined the culture jammers network and are doing their part to promote social change46what does the underlined word rebellion in paragraph 1 most probably mean?aargument bviolence copposition dprotection47whats the main point of the ad for hope cigarettes?asmoking can help to remove your worries and make you hopefulbhopefully, the bad taste of the cigarette can help you to quit smokingcyou are hopeless at abandoning the habit of smokingdsmoking can ruin you if you are hopelessly addicted to it48some culture jammers break into websites in order to _aask people to be thoughtful consumersbhelp make the companies better knowncencourage people to think less and buy lessdchallenge how people react to sudden changes49it can be inferred from the passage _aadbusters media foundation was founded to fight against deforestationbmore and more people will know about and even become culture jammerscthe culture jammers network is made up of annoying trouble makersdpeople can see some of adbusters ads on tv stations50which of the following best describes what lasn has done?aone step at a time bwe can and must change the world caccept what you cant change deveryone deserves a second chancecthe ability to memorize things seems to be a vanishing （消失的） techniqueso what can we do to bring out brain cells back into action? a newly published book on memory, moomvalking with einstein: the art and science of remembering everything, by american journalist joshua foer, makes a telling point, one that is an analysis of the importance of memorising events and stories in human history; the decline of its role in modem life; and the techniques that we need to adopt to restore the art of rememberingas foer points out, we no longer need to remember telephone numbersour mobile phones do that for uswe dont recall addresses eitherwe send emails from computers that store electronic addressesnor do we bother to remember multiplication tables （乘法表） pocket calculators do the job of multiplying quite nicelymuseums, photographs, the digital media and books also act as storehouses for memories that once we had to keep in mindas a result, we no longer remember long poems or folk stories by heart, feats （技艺） of memory that were once the cornerstones of most peoples livesindeed, society has changed so much that we no longer know what techniques we should employ to remember such lengthy workswe are, quite simply, forgetting how to rememberand lets face it, there is nothing sadder than someone who has lost their mobile phone and who finds they cannot even phone home or call their parents or partners because they cannot remember a single telephone numberthat is a sad example of loss of personal independenceso, yes, there is a need for us to he able to remember certain things in lifetherefore, foers book outlines the methods that need to be mastered in order to promote our memories and regain the ability to recall long strings of names, numbers or facesin the process, he adds, we will become more aware of the world about usthe trick, foer says, is to adopt a process known as elaborative encoding, which involves transforming information, such as a shopping list, into a series of absorbing visual imagesif you want to remember a list of household objectspotatoes, cottage cheese, sugar and other items, then visualise them in an unforgettable manner, he saysstart by creating an image of a large jar of potatoes standing in the gardennext to it, imagine a giant tub of cottage cheesethe size of an outdoor pooland then picture lady gaga swimming in itand so oneach image should be as fantastic and memorable as possibleusing methods like this, it becomes possible to achieve great feats of memory quite easily, foer saysit certainly seems to have worked for him: he won the annual us memory championships after learning how to memorize 120 random digits in five minutes; the first and last names of 156 strangers in 15 minutes; and a deck of cards in under two minuteswhat i had really trained my brain to do, as much as to memorise, was to be more mindful and to pay attention to the world around, he saysthese techniques employed by foer to master his memory were developed by ed cookea british writer and a world memory championship grandmasterhe acted as foers trainer during preparations for the book and helped him achieve his championship performances memory techniques do just one thing: they make information more meaningful to the mind, making the things we try to learn unforgettably
