    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

    　　While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged,loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face．Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness,a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one．This phenomenon（现象）is commonly known as“Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢综合症）．

    　　In order to seek better chances outside their countries,many young people have gone abroad,leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home．Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights,taking care of themselves,in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them．The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries．Whatever the case,it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do．This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown up children from providing response（回应）in time for their aged parents living by themselves．

    　　The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as“distant parent phenomenon”,which is common both in devel-oped countries and in developing countries．Our society has not yet been well prepared for“Empty Nest Syndrome”．

    (1)

    According to the passage,the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by ________

    [　　]

    their earlier experience of feeling lonely

    the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries

    the common worry about their income

    D．

    the geographical distance belween parents and children

    C．

    they cannot do what they should for their parents

    D．

    the situations in the developed and developing countries are different

    B．

    “Empty Nest Syndrome”has arrived unexpectedly in our society

    We often use the words “growth” and “development” as if they meant basically the same thing. But this may not always be the case. One can easily imagine instances in which a country has achieved higher levels of income (growth) with little or no benefit coming to most of its citizens (development).

    In the past, most development policies were aimed at increasing the growth rate of income per capita (人均所得). Many are still based on the theory that benefit of economic growth will come to all members of society. If this theory is correct, growth should encourage development.

    By the early 1970s, however, the relationship between growth and development was being questioned. A major study by the World Bank in 1974 concluded that it is now clear that more than decades of rapid growth in developing countries has been of little benefit to & third of their population.

    The World Bank study showed that increase in GNP per capita did not promise important improvements in such devel??opment indicators as nutrition (营养), health, and education. Although GNP per capita did indeed rise, its benefit came down to only a small part of the population. This realization gives rise to a call for new development policies. These new policies favor agriculture over industry, call for national redis??tribution (资源分配) of income and wealth, and encourage programs to satisfy such basic needs as food and shelter.

    In the late 1970s and early 1980s the international macroeconomic crises (大规模的经济危机) of high oil prices, worldwide recession (衰退) and the third world debt, forced attention away from programs designed to get rid of poverty. however, the lesson remains: economic growth does not prom??ise economic development. Efforts may be required to change growing output capacity (能力) into economic benefit that reach most of a nation’s people.

    What do we learn from the first paragraph about the relationship between growth and development?

    A. Growth and development refer to the same thing.

    B. Growth always brings about development.

    C. Development is not a necessary result of growth.

    D. Development is a reliable measure of growth.

    Before the 1970s, most development policies were based on theory that economic growth would benefit ________.

    A. most people in society                  B. some people in society

    C. few people in society                   D. everyone in society

    according to the study by the World Bank in 1974, economic growth in some backward countries brought ________.

    A. benefit to a third of their population

    B. benefit to two thirds of their population

    C little benefit to their people

    D. no benefit at all to their people

    If the passage continues, what would the author most likely discuss in the next paragraph?

    A. How to turn growth into development.

    B. How to remove poverty from society.

    C. How to decrease the third world debt.

    D. How to cope with economic crises.

    阅读表达
        阅读下面的短文，根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)
         An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling
    a flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was
    vital enough, his lack of response would ensure the sender rang him up. If the sender wasn't important
    enough to have his private number, the communication couldn't be that important, My friend is now even
    more senior in the same company, so the strategy must work.    
         Almost every week now, there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by
    the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it's only because we haven't devel-oped an appropriate
    discrimination in dealing with it.      
                  Firstly, you junk anything with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters,or from any
    address you don't recognize or feel confident about.    
         Secondly, e-mails don't all have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there's a tendency for
    correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless dis-cussion or to accept a
    point of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it.    
         Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn't have to be the samelength as the original. We all have e-mail pals who
    send long, chatty e-mails, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. Then
    charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the
    letter sent by post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail
    with a brief reply.        
    1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?      
    The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails.      
    ________________________________________________________      
    ________________________________________________________    
    2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence.(within 10 words)        
    ______________________________________________________    
    3. What advice is given in the last paragraph?  (within l0 words)        
    ______________________________________________________    
    4. For what purpose does the author mention his American friend in Paragraph l? (within 10 words)       
     ______________________________________________________    
    5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.        
    _____________________________________________________
