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 (服从), 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culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight.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.

Although the weathermen’s forecasts for a month ahead are only little better than guesswork, they are now making long-term forecasts into the next century with growing confidence. For the main trend (倾向, 趋势) in the world’s climate in the coming years will, scientists say, be a predictable result of man’s activities.

At the start of the industrial revolution nearly two centuries ago, man set off a big experiment in planetary engineering. Unaware of what he was doing, he spared no thought for the consequences (后果).Today the possible outcome is alarmingly clear, but the experiment is unstoppable. Within the lifetimes of many of us, the Earth may become warmer than it has been for a thousand years. By the middle of this century it may be warmer than it has been since before the last Ice Age.

A warmer climate may seem welcome, but it could bring many dangers, damages to crops in the world’s main food-producing areas, famine (饥荒), economic instability (不稳定), civil unrest and even war.

In the much longer term, melting of the great ice-caps of Greenland and Antarctica could raise sea-levels throughout the world. The average sea-level has already risen a foot since the turn of the last century, and if the ice-caps disappear completely, it would rise by nearly 200 feet. Complete melting might take many centuries, but even a small increase in sea-level would threaten low-lying parts of the world such as the Netherlands.

63. The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to ________.

A. a big experiment　　　　　　　　 B. a long-term weather forecast

C. the sea-level D. a warmer climate

64. Long-term weather forecasts beyond the year 2050 may seem strange because_______.

A. none of us will be alive then

B. weathermen cannot even forecast next month’s weather correctly

C. weathermen can forecast much better than they used to

D. no one can stop engineering experiments

65. Weathermen believe that our future climate will be the direct result of_______.

A. big scientific experiments　　　　　　　　　　　 B. clever long-term forecasts

C. the industrial revolution　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. planets changing course

66. Scientists are fairly sure that, by the year 2050, _______.

A. the sea-level will have risen obviously

B. there will have been a third World War

C. most countries will have been flooded

D. the polar ice-caps will have melt completely

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly，four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.

There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

56. The most important things to learn a foreign language are      .

  A. understanding and speaking       B. hearing, speaking, reading and writing

  C. writing and understanding         D. memorizing and listening

57. One can never learn a foreign language well only by      .

  A. much practice                 B. studying the dictionary

  C. learning through use            D. using the language

58. “Learn through use” means       .

  A. we use a language in order to learn it            B. we learn foreign language in order to use it

  C. we can learn a language well while we are using it   D. both B and C
