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 thie 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
Which one is NOT the cause of the generation gap?
A:Young people like to choose their own life styles.
B:American society is changing very fast.
C:Parents place high hopes on their children.
D:Modern education makes them think differently.
答案
D
解析
文章第一段主要讲述了美国社会中所存在的代沟问题:父母抱怨孩子们不够尊敬和服从他们;孩子们抱怨父母不理解他们。实际上,该问题已经存在了很长一段时间。评论家认为代沟已经成为美国社会结构的一部分。由此可见,代沟是美国的一种特征。因此B为正确答案。
由文章第一段倒数第二句话可知,代沟问题已经存在了很长时间。around在此处意思是“存在”,与in existence(存在)意思相近。因此D为正确答案。
文章从三方面讲述了代沟形成的原因。由第二段第一句话可知,形成代沟的一个重要原因是年轻人必须选择自己的生活方式;由第三段第一句话可知,父母对孩子期望过高也是代沟形成的一个原因;由第四段第一句话可知,社会的快速变化也是导致代沟形成的原因。而文中并未提到现代教育使得孩子与父母想法不同的问题。因此D为正确答案。
由文章第三段最后一句话可知,父母和孩子会发现彼此之间几乎没有相似之处。因此D为正确答案。
文章主要讲的是美国社会中所存在的代沟问题及其形成的原因,并没有提到如何解决这一问题,因此排除A.B选项;而D项(美国社会应该避免代沟问题)文中也未提及.由文章第三段可知,父母对孩子期望过高也是形成代沟的原因。因此C为正确答案。
