Reading Comprehension (3′×20=60′)

Directions: There are 4 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 the corresponding letter on

the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children didn’t 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 ways of life. In a more traditional (传统的) 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

5

in our society the knowledge of a life time may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.

21. The first paragraph tells us that ________.

(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(B) it is out of date to talk about the generation gap.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.

22. In a more traditional society, old people ________.

(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. (D) do not live together with their

children.

23. In American society young people ________.

(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

24. 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.

25. The main idea of the passage is _________.

(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 Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

Agnes Miller was one of the earliest leaders of the women's

liberation movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in

Missouri in 1892.Strangely enough she had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.

In 1896 the family moved to Chicago. Three years later they moved back to St. Louis where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an excellent student of mathematics. She also was quite skillful as a painter.

It was when Agnes went off to college that she first learned that women were not treated as equals. She didn't like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field——physics. She soon found it was almost

6

impossible for a woman.

Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of anger to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much. He specially liked her style(风格).He asked her to do a series of stories on the difficulties that women had in finding a job. And there she began her great fight for equal rights for women.

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain

live in houses rather than flats(公寓)，and many

people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like(Most houses have a garden, even if

it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for him or

herself and for invited friends.

People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread(铺开)

your towels(浴巾)around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.

Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase(公文包)on the table. There was no

space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole

7

table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal(非言语的) communication(交流)so I took

various papers out of my bag and put them on his case～ When I did this he suddenly became

angry and his eyes nearly popped out(突出)of his head. I had taken

up his space～A few minutes

later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately(立即)moved his case to his side

of the table.

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

For a long time women with HIV (艾滋病毒) were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men. The gay community (同性恋团体) was very much in sight and vocal and successfully got support for its cause. Now we are rapidly approaching the point where one half of all AIDS

8

cases in the world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection (感染)

among women seriously enough.

Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do. In most cases, the woman is taking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of herself. The HIV-positive (HIV阳性) women ends up shouldering the family as well as her own

personal problems. Men, however, are usually the ones who have insurance (保险), income, and

access to doctors. They get care. Women often do not.

The discrimination(歧视) against women HIV-positive women is simply terrible. They are likely to be more inactive than men in the home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease .This is not at all true. They get it from a man. They don’t just simply have HIV. Of course, there’s a social discriminati on against all people with HIV. They are scared that other people will know they are HIV-positive and that they will, therefore, be discriminated

against. For example, it’s very difficult for people with HIV to travel. They are not

allowed to enter many countries, including the United States, China and Russia.

The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the

isolation(孤立). Once the

woman knows she’s HIV-positive, she lives in fear that other people will find out. She’s so frightened she will go into hiding, into an isolated place (与世隔绝的地方) by herself. It’s not at

all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone, except the doctor. And the resulting stress(压力) is enough to make her sick. But

HIV-positive women who got support, who can discuss their trouble

and then do something about it---whether that means taking better care

of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights.--- are likely to live longer. Active women don’t die out of shame in a corner. This

happens to too many HIV-positive women.
