12、sport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America，most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common，almost everyone carries a passport. A passport is final
13、 proof of identity in almost every country in the world. In 1979 almost 15 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because，except for a few Western nations。passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad，you must h
14、ave a valid passport to reenter the country. When traveling abroad，you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card，buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an
15、 official U. S. document. it is valuable as identification in any emergency cases，such as floods，fires，or war. Dont confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens. a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For
16、some years，many countries were dropping their visa requirements，but that trend has reversed. Argentina，Brazil，and Venezuela now require visas from U. S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit. Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in
17、 large cities like Boston，New York，or Chicago. In smaller cities，applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport，you must submit the application in person. along with a birth certificate and two pictures. （分数：10.00）(1).The main purpose of this passage is

20、ant passports areB.passports arent important once you are in the country youve chosen to visitC.passports are simple to obtain through the mailD.passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country(5).As used in this passage，the word“valid”in the second paragraph means_（分数：2.00）A.foreignB.
21、1egalC.monetaryD.illegalPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap，a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience，while children c
22、omplained 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 critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society. One important cause of the generation gap is
23、the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles. 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 approve of，and often to continue the family occupation. In our society，y
24、oung people often travel great distances for their educations，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 upwardly mobile society，parents often expect their children to do
25、 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 ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often，they discover that they have very little in common with each other
26、. 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 obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in
27、two very different worlds，separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt，the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society，and in the rapid pace at which society changes. （分数：10.00）(1

32、ssage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. One of the most exciting races ever run is now in progress between doctors fighting malaria(疟疾)and mosquitoes.

But it is equally true that in some parts of the world certain types of malaria-carrying mosquitoes have already learned to resist some of the sprays that
35、 formerly killed them. Other types of mosquitoes are not killed as quickly by present sprays as they once were. The World Health Organization is helping national governments to get rid of malaria before resistance among the mosquito population becomes so great that new poisons will have to be found
36、to replace those in use at present. Most of the countries in the world have started，or are planning，campaigns against mosquitoes.
