My name is Christopher. My family came to America before I was born. In two weeks I am going to be married, and my fiancée (未婚妻), Samantha, and I expect to be very happy. We do not plan to have honeymoon because we want to spend two weeks setting up our own new business as real estate agents （房地产代理商）

My mother, who is very traditional（传统的）, says that our plans are unreasonable. She thinks that we should just spend the two weeks on a h oliday in the Caribbean. In her days, and in the old country, young couples didn’t start

businesses together. Instead, the man went out to work, and the wife stayed home to raise a family.

Both Samantha and I want children in the future, and together we plan to raise them. Needless to say, our plans and my mother’s views don’t agree. I suppose it’s hard for my mother and father to understand our point of view. They are used to another way of setting up a marriage and a life.

Another thing that worries my parents is the fact that Samantha and I are going to be spending seven days a week on our business until it is running smoothly. As my mother has pointed out to us, such a timetable will leave us little time for socializing or for a night in the town. My mother says a young couple should enjoy themselves and get to know each other under less exciting conditions.

Actually, Samantha and I know each other pretty well. We both work hard for our goals, and neither of us minds giving up weekends for a while. We are young and enthusiastic (热心于事业的)

Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motor-way. But still there is a danger that grows every year. Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struck into another in midair, 600 lives could be lost.

From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. The air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to climb, and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around busy airport like London-Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident.

Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided (避免)each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.

59. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A Traveling by air is as safe as by car

B Traveling by air is not as safe as by car

C Traveling by car is as dangerous as by air

D Traveling by car is more dangerous than by air

60. The air traffic contrlllers of an airport .

B give orders to planes leaving the airport

C only deal with the planes that want to land there

D are allowed to handle 250 planes a day

A airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavier

B a pilot does not always hear a controller’s order

C a controller is likely to make more and more mistakes

D airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes

62. The example in the passage is to show that .

A air traffic controllers are often careless

B air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidents

C it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidents

D two planes should not fly too close to each other

C

A few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained （抱怨）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 a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society.

One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. 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 agree to, and to continue the family occupation (职业). In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.

In our easily changing 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 strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement 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 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 out of date 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(特点) of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.

63. The main idea of the first paragraph is that .

A the generation gap suddenly appeared

B the generation gap is a feature of modem social life

C people can reduce the generation gap

D many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap

64. Which cause of the generation gap is not mentioned in the passage?

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.

66. In American society, young people often .

A depend on their parents to make a life

B stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education

C seek the best advice from their parents

D have very little in common with their parents

67. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A Parents should e strict with their children

B The younger generation for their wisdom

C The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation.

D The generation gap does not exist in American society.

Paris is called the City of Light. It is also an international fashion (时装) center. What modrn women are wearing in Paris will soon be worn by many women in other parts of the world.

Paris is named after a group of people called the Parisii. They built a small village on an island in the middle of the Seine River about two thousand years ago. This island, called the lle de la Cite, is where Notre Dame is located. Today around eight million people live in the Paris area.

There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for（负责）their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in traditional classrooms. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.

But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education.

For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their school.
