Part I Reading Comprehension(40%)Directions:There are four reading paages in this part.Each paage is followed by some questions.For each of them there are four suggested anseers marked ABCand D.Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following paage: 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 patents 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 they awere 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culture,senior people are valued for their knowledge ,but in our society the knowledge of a life time may become out of date.The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds,separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt ,the generation gap will continue in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come.1.The first paragraph tells us that()A)the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people B)it is out of date to talk about the generation gap

B)when the generation gap is neceary in American society C)why the generation gap exists
D)how we can reduce the generation gap Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following paage: Telephone,television,radio,and the internet help people communicate with each other.Because of these devices,ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world.For example ,within seconds,people can know the results of an election(选举)in another country.An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of disaster(灾难),such as a flood,can bring help from distant countries.Within hours ,help is on the way.This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world?To many people,the world has become smaller.Of course ,this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller.It means that the world seems smaller.Two hundren years ago,communication between the continents took a long time.All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even monthsto cro the oceans.In the 17th and 18th centuries,it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach the Americas.This time difference influenced people’s actions.For example,a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and the United State could have been avoided.A peace agreement had already been signed.Peace was made in
