18、maturity and adulthood. In primitive societies adolescence is frequently a relatively short period of time, while in industrial societies with patterns of-prolonged education coupled with laws against child labor, the period of adolescence is much longer and may include most of the second decade of

19、ones life. Furthermore, the length of the adolescent period and the definition of adulthood status may change in a given society as social and economic conditions change. Examples of this type of change are the disappearance of the frontier in the latter part of the nineteenth century in the United

20、States, and more universally, the industrialization of an agricultural society.In modem society, ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance and there no longer is agreement as to what constitutes initiation ceremonies. Social ones have been replaced by a

21、sequence of steps that lead to increased recognition and social status. For example, grade school graduation, high school graduation and college graduation constitute such a sequence, and while each step implies certain behavioral changes and social recognition, the significance of each depends on t

22、he socio-economic status and the educational ambition of the individual. Ceremonies for adolescence have also been replaced by legal definitions of status roles, right, privileges and responsibilities. It is during the nine years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that the protective and

23、restrictive aspects of childhood and minor status are removed and adult privileges and responsibilities are granted. The twelve-year-old is no longer considered a child and has to pay full fare for train, airplane, theater and movie tickets. Basically, the individual at this age loses childhood priv

24、ileges without gaining significant adult rights. At the age of sixteen the adolescent is granted certain adult rights which increase his social status by providing him with more freedom and choices. He now can obtain a drivers license; he can leave public schools; and he can work without the restric

25、tions of child labor laws. At the age of eighteen the law provides adult responsibilities as well as rights; the young man can now be a soldier, but he also can marry without parental permission. At the age of twenty-one the individual obtains his full legal rights as an adult. He now can write; he

26、can buy liquor; he can enter into financial contracts; and he is entitled to run for public office. No additional basic rights are acquired as a function of age alter majority status has been attained. None of these legal provisions determine at what point adulthood has been reached but they do poin

27、t to the prolonged period of adolescence.（分数：5.00）(1).The length of adolescence is decided by all of the following EXCEPT _.A. the definition of maturity and adulthoodB. change in social and economic conditionsC. industrialization of the societyD. development of science and technology（分数：1.00）A.B.C.

28、D.(2).What can be a substitute for adolescence ceremonies?A. steps leading to recognitionB. increased social-economic statusC. adult privileges and responsibilitiesD. behavioral changes（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In modem society, one can fully enjoy his adulthood privileges when he is no less than _ years

He will get more and more rights as he grows older and older.C. He has no more basic rights than when he was 21.D. He will enjo

30、y more rights granted by society.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. one begins to be considered as an adult since 12B. one has to pay full fare before he is free from the restrictions of child labor lawsC. one begins to lose childhood privileges when he can obtain a d

31、rivers licenseD. one cant marry without parental permission until he can enter into financial contracts（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The trade and investment relationship between the European Union and the United States is the most important in the world. Despite the emergence of competito

32、rs, Europe and America are the dynamo of the global economy.This economic relationship is a foundation of our political partnership, which we all know has been through a difficult patch. The identity of interest between Europe and America is less obvious than during the cold war. But while the trans

33、-Atlantic relationship is becoming more complex, that does not make it less important. As European commissioner for trade, I do not agree that European and American values are fundamentally diverging, or that our interests no longer coincide.We still share a belief in democracy and individual freedo

34、ms, and in creating opportunity and economic openness. We face the same security challenges. We look ahead to shared global problems: poverty, migration, resource crises, climate change.We need commitment and vision to redefine our relationship. I want to see a stronger and more balanced partnership

35、one in which Europe is more united, more willing to take its role in global leadership and one where the United States is more inclined to share leadership with Europe. We need to find ways to complement each other, not compete in the political arena.We will not achieve either side of this equation

36、without the other. Europe needs to build stronger foreign policies and to be ready to act on the world stage. But equally, the body language we see from America has a huge impact on how Europeans view the partnership. Our common interest requires a strong Europe, not a weak and divided one. I hope t

37、hat the United States will reinforce its historical support for European integration.I am fortunate now to take over an area of policy in which Europe is highly effective: trade. Our top trade priority on both sides of the Atlantic must be to put our weight behind the multilateral Doha development a

38、genda. Concluding this negotiation in a way that lives up to its ambition will bring enormous benefits.Collectively, we took a major step in reaching the framework agreement in Geneva last July, following the lead taken by the E.U. on agriculture export subsidies. We now look to the United States an

39、d others to follow that lead, and we need to accelerate work in other areason industrial tariffs and servicesto achieve a balanced result.The Doha round of talks differs from any other in its focus on development. Europe and the United States must ensure that poorer countries are fully engaged and d

40、erive benefits. But the issues we need to tackle to stimulate growth and innovation in trans-Atlantic trade are not those on the Doha agenda. Our markets are relatively open and highly developed. We need to concentrate on removing regulatory and structural barriers that inhibit activity. This is abo

41、ut cutting international red tape. Our regulatory systems and cultures are different, but that is where real gains can be made.As E.U. trade commissioner I want to develop an ambitious but practical trans-Atlantic agenda. I am not inclined to set rhetorical targets or launch lofty initiatives. I wan

42、t a set of achievable goals.Work on trans-Atlantic deregulation will also contribute to the central goal of the new European Commission: promoting growth and jobs in Europe.I am not naive. I am not turning a blind eye to the inevitable disputes in trans-Atlantic trade. They are relatively small as a

43、 proportion of total trade, but they make the headlines. They reflect the huge volume of our trade and investment flows. That is good. They also reflect our readiness to settle disputes in the World Trade Organization. That is also good. The WTO is the best example of effective multilateralism that

44、the world has so far invented. I hope we will work together to uphold it. If multilateralism is to be worthwhile, it has to be effectiveand that goes for every part of the relationship between Europe and America.（分数：5.00）(1).The word “dynamo“ in the fast paragraph means _.A. machine B. power C. sour

45、ce D. center（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Why does the author long for the U.S.s support for European integration?A. Because this is the need of both sides interests.B. Because the U.S. has long had a good relationship with Europe.C. Because the U.S. always takes its role in global leadership.D. Because this

46、 could help build a strong partnership.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).It can be inferred that trade barriers should be removed in order to _.A. earn more moneyB. make the markets more organizedC. ensure poorer countries engagementD. activate the trans-Atlantic trade（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following

47、is the aim of this article?A. To launch lofty initiatives.B. To settle the disputes in trans-Atlantic trade.C. To get a better understanding on the regulatory system and culture of America.D. To develop a practical trans-Atlantic agenda.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which category of writing does the passage
