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 OneQuestions 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 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 haveto choose their own way 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 job. 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 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culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date.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.21. The first paragraph tells us that __________.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other22. In a more traditional society, old people__________.A. do not care children at allB. have their children respect and listen to themC. expect their children to rebel themD. do not live together with their children23. In American society young people__________.A. do not need to find jobsB. marry people younger than themC. have better education than their parentsD. leave home at an early age24. 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 consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existsD. how we can reduce the generation gapPassage twoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ll do it”. The resulting discrepancy（差异）can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.26. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much aboutmaking mistakes because ________.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange languageC. communication is the primary goal of language learningD. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language27. According to the passage, the present tense in English is _______.A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students28.The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by_______.A. asking native speakers for explanationB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. comparing their speech with that of native speakersD speaking without regard to native speakers29. The passage implies that foreign language students who do not interact with nativespeakers will NOT _______.A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models30. The author’s major conclusion abou t the function of mistakes in foreign languagelearning is that ________.A. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a languageB. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageC. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesD. mistakes do not interfere with communicationPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates(投考人) for the doctor’s degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts,not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.31. Before the Middle Ages students_____.A. took objective testsB. were timed by electric clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exams32. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that_____.A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed33. The kind of exams where students must select answer are ___.A. personalB. spokenC. objectiveD. written34. Modern industry must have developed _______.A. before the Middle AgesB. in Greece or RomeC. around the 19th centuryD. nowadays35. It may be concluded that testing _______.A. should test only opinionsB. has changed since the Middle AgesC. should always be writtenD. is given only in factoriesPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20%)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
