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(服從), 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(結(jié)構(gòu))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(職業(yè))．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culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight．The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities．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(特點(diǎn))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．
【小題1】The main idea of the first paragraph is that _______．

A．the generation gap suddenly appeared
B．the generation gap is a feature of modern social life
C．people can reduce the generation gap
D．many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
【小題2】The word “around” in Paragraph 1 means _______．
A．on all sidesB．near
C．in every direction D．in existence（存在）
【小題3】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．
【小題4】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
【小題5】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Parents should be strict with their children．
B．The younger generation should value the older 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．

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆安徽省無為縣四校高三聯(lián)考英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.
【小題1】Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because _______.

A．a(chǎn)ll foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
B．they hope their children may easily find a job there
C．the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
D．the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
【小題2】“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.
A．with university educationB．speaking no English
C．without parentsD．living abroad alone
【小題3】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Parents want better education for their kids.
B．Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.
C．Parents feel lonely and miss their families.
D．Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.

科目：高中英語 來源：2013-2014學(xué)年江西省高三第四次�？加⒄Z試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

[1] More than 40 million Americans move each year, but not always by choice. Whether you relocate because of a new job or school for you or your spouse, for a lower cost of living, or for better opportunities, adjusting to life in a new place can be scary and difficult--especially when you’re not in love with your new city. Here are some tips on how to make the most of your relocation and find happiness in your new home.

[2] Treat it as an adventure

Living in a new place is a great opportunity to experience new things and to grow as a person. So stay positive, and get out there and explore! Sample the local cuisine. Visit landmarks and museums. Try local activities that weren’t available or popular in your former city, such as skiing if you came from a beach town or surfing if you lived in the mountains. You may discover a talent or interest you never knew you had.

[3] Get involved

Attend local events that interest you. Visit the weekly farmer’s market or the neighborhood yard sale. Volunteer. Take a class. Join a sports league. All of these things will help you meet people and feel connected to your new town.

[4] Locate the necessities

Driving, riding, or walking around your new neighborhood is the best way to learn where everything is. So head out and take note of the nearest supermarket, pharmacy, post office, library, etc.

[5] Keep pieces of your old home

To keep from getting too homesick, subscribe to your former city magazine or newspaper. Display photos of or souvenirs from your favorite places in your old town. Hang decorations from your former home. Just don’t go overboard—hanging on to too much from your past will keep you from moving forward and really enjoying your new home.

[6] _________

It takes time to get to know a new place, so don’t expect to feel comfortable right away. Give yourself time to adjust. To help the process and to meet new people, find a support group near you at Just Moved.org.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about? (within 15 words.)

                                                                                  

2.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? (within 7 words)

                                                                                  

3.According to the passage, what can you do to learn where everything is?( within 5 words)

                                                                                   

4.Fill the blank with proper words. (within 5 words)

                                                                                  

5.If you are a new comer, where to find a support group near you based on this passage? (within 3 words)
