16、to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained more or less justly, that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis; that they talk too much about certain problems;
17、 and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertaine
18、rs and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from theadult world into which they have not yet accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives the
19、m additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. B
20、ut in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog (处于劣势): you cant win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you
21、 are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can impress others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will gi
22、ve you the authority to do what you want to do.（分数：10.00）(1).The author is primarily addressing _.A. parents B. teenagers C. educators D. psychologists（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The first paragraph is mainly about _.A. the teenagers criticism of their parentsB. misunderstandings between teenagers and thei
23、r parentsC. the parents complaints about their childrenD. the dominance of the parents over their children（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they _.A. want to irritate their parentsB. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteC. have no othe
24、r way to enjoy themselves betterD. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they _.A. have a desire to be independentB. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adultsC. are

26、ristmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year, howe
27、ver, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband
28、 and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe
29、 to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!“ I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.（分数：10.00

31、eplaced by “something _ “.A. given to peopleB. offered at a reduced priceC. offered, sold or bought which is expensiveD. sold for the purpose of reaching an agreement（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The husband and wife in the story _.A. wished to buy a TVB. went to the sales the year beforeC. often went to the

34、in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of language and used in informal speech or wri
35、ting, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and
36、even slang may be founding standarddictionaries but will be so identified. Both Colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing.Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularit
37、y followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that th
38、ree cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society ; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups ; third, association among the subgroups and the majority p
39、opulation.Finally, it is worth noting that the terms “standard,“ “colloquial,“ and “slang“ exist only as abstract labels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language wilt be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English wil
40、l, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?A. Standard speech. B. Idiomatic speech.C.

41、ords and phrases accepted by the majority for formal usage.B. Words and phrases understood by the majority but not found in standard dictionaries.C. Words and phrases that are understood by a restricted group of speakers.D. Words and phrases understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted
42、as formal usage.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The word “obscurity“ in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.A. disappearance B. influence C. qualification D. tolerance（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The author mentions all of the following as requirements for slang expressions to be created except _.A. new situations
43、 B. interaction among diverse groupsC. a new generation D. a number of linguists（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).It can be inferred from the passage that the author _.A. does not approve of either slang or colloquial speech in any situationB. approves of colloquial speech in some situations, but not slangC. app
44、roves of slang and colloquial speech in appropriate situationsD. does not approve of colloquial usage in writing（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos w
45、ill be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, a
46、nd more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this probl
47、em is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the syste
48、m, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the cars movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to
49、 the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.（分数：10.00）(1).One significant improvement in the future car will probably be _
