第三篇
Generation Gap
A few years ago,it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap,a division between young people and
their elders.Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience,while children
complained 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 critics argue
that it is built into the fabric of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own
life styles.In more traditional societies,when children grow up,they are expected to live in the same area
as their parents,to marry people that their parents know and approve of,and often to continue the family occupation.
In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education,most out of the family home at
an early age,marry or live or choose occupations different from those of their parents.
In our upwardly mobile 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,however,the
ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them.Often they dis-
cover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally,the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the
generations.In a traditional culture,elderly people are valued for their wisdom,but in our society the
knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight.
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 to be a feature of American life for some time to come.Its causes
are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society,and in the rapid pace at which society changes.
选项
The word"around"in paragraph one means________.
A:on all sides
B:in every direction
C:near
D:in existence
答案
D
解析
由文章第一段最后一句话“Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society", 可知很多评论家认为代沟问题是美国社会的组成部分。故选B。
around的意思是“围绕;在……附近”,在文章中是指代沟问题已经存在了一段时间,故选D。
文章中提到三个原因。由第二段第一句话,可知选项A年轻人喜欢选择他们自己的生活方式是代沟形成的原囚之一。由文章第三段第一句话,可知选项C父母对子女的高期望也是代沟形成的原因之一。由文章第四段第一句话,可知选项B美国社会的快速发展是代沟形成的原因之一。故选D。
由文章倒数第二段“The young and the old seeni to live in two very different worlds, separa-ted by different skills and abilities",可知年轻人和老年人由于技术和能力的不同被分隔在两个不同的世界里。故选D。
文章中没有提到代沟问题该如何解决,仅仅提到代沟形成的原因,所以可以排除A、B、 D。 C项说代沟问题在某种程度上说是由老一代造成的,是正确的。
