Some parents complain that their children do not show then proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all. What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared? One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style. In some traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live I the same area as their parents, to marry the people that their parents like, and often to continue the family job. Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap. Finally, the high speed of social changes makes the gap wider and wider. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use every soon. 61. Children today expect their parents to_. A. give them more understandingB. choose a good job for them C. live together with them D. make more money 62. Parents often hope that their children will_. A. make as much money as they do B. be more successful than they are C. choose jobs according to their own will D. avoid doing what their parents cant do 63. The generation gap has become wider than before because of _. A. the increasing dependence of children on parents B. the influence of traditional culture on children C. the rapid changes of the modern society D. the missing of the lifelong job 64. In todays society, the knowledge of a lifetime_. A. is still very much valued B. becomes out of date quickly C. is essential for continuing family jobs D. helps the young generation to find a better job 65. A proper title for this passage would be _. A. Parents Attitude towards the Generation Gap B. Relationship between Family Members C. Generation Gap between the Young and the Old D. Difference between Traditional Culture and Modern KnowledgePassage Two The world is not only hungry, it will also be thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink or use the other 3of the fresh water which comes from rivers, lakes and underground. On the other hand, because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, more and more fresh water is needed. So water shortage becomes a big problem. How can we work out this problem? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil sea water with high heat until vapor rises, leaving the salt. In this way, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly. But heating is not the only way to get fresh water. Other ways are tried, for example, digging deep wells, keeping rain water and preventing rivers from being polluted. Which way is the best? To get the most fresh water for the least money is the best. 66. The water man can only use may come from _according the Paragraph 1? A. the see B. rivers and lakes C. the underground D. Both B and C 67. As time goes on, the fresh water _. A. is needed by more and more people B. can be used in many ways C. can be found in many factories D. only comes from the rain 68. Which if the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Hunger is the only problem in the world. B. Water shortage is the only problem in the world. C. Scientists cant solve the water problem without enough money. D. Some ways to solve the water problem have been found. 69. How many ways are used to get fresh water? A. 3 B. 4 C. 2 D. 1 70. The best title for this passage is _. A. The Importance of Saving Water B. How to Use Fresh Water in our Daily Life C. The Way to Get Fresh WaterD. Different Ways of Making Water in Different Places Passage Three Hundreds of students send me email each year for advice about education. They want to know what to study, or whether it is OK to drop out of college (退学)since that is what I did. A smaller number of parents send messages asking for suggestions for their sons or daughters. “How can we guide our children toward success?” they ask. My advice is simple, “Get the best education you can. Take advantage of high school and college. Learn how to learn.” Its true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft but I was at Harvard for three years efore that. As Ive said before, nobody should drop out of college unless they believe that face the chance of a lifetime. And even then they should consider carefully. In our companys early years, quite a few people didnt finish college, but have a diploma certainly helps somebody who is looking for a job. High school and a college offer you the best chance to learn many things and to do projects with others that teach you about team spirit. In high school there was a time when I spent most of my time and energy on writing software, but for most of my high school years I had many interests. In college, I read about all kinds of things and attended different kinds of classes. For me, classroom is not the only place where you can learn. You can also learn in a library. Whats more, you should learn with other people, ask questions, try out ideas and have a way to test your ability. In a world, its a real mistake not to take the chance to study a wide range of subjects and to learn to work with other people. 71. Every year many _ask Bill Gates for advice about education. A. students B. sons or daughters C. parents D. teachers 72. Gates suggested young people to _before stopping education.

And now that scientists have discovered how to detect different genes, farmers can hand over a young branch to have its genes checked before planting. It works the same way as checking finger-prints. Once farmers know which trees are good and which are bad, they can give up the bad ones. Farmers can even make new fruit trees according to their own tastes. In the past three years, tens of thousands of tes
