Mr. Krattenmaker, from Pennsylvania, USA, recalled his relationship with his _44_ when he was a teenager. “I would _45_ have said to my mom, Hey, this new album (专辑) is really great - how do you like it?” he said. “There was just a complete _46_ in sensibility (情感) and _47_.”_48_ was not the only gap. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to be in _49_ orbits(轨道). Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, _50_ it is becoming smaller in many families, according to reports. Parents today are more _51_ in appearance and attitudes. They also wear blue jeans and they have _52_ hairstyles. Those who like sports also enjoy snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children. The old authoritarian (权威主义的) method is giving _53_ to a more equal one. Parents will take the “Come, let us _54_ together” attitude _55_ “Because I said so, thats why.” The _56_ can be a rewarding closeness among family members. _57_ that would have been awkward (别扭的) on subjects _58_ sex and drugs now are comfortable and common between western parents and children. Parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to know. _59_ greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.” Family experts, however, worry that the new _60_ can also have downsides (弊端) - decreasing _61_ for parents as everyone has a say in the family and self-indulgence (任性) of the children as the_62_moves to them. 43.

Nowadays, however, one large city is very like another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels which look like Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonalds, their KFCs, their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And, of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars, usually wearing the same kinds of clothing and watching-except for a few programs-the same American movies and TV shows. Airports are the same everywhere and the worlds airlines are all flying the same aircraft, Boeings or Airbuses. What, therefore, is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home? Why travel to foreign countries at all? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nations history that is its main attraction. Most of todays tourists travel overseas to find out what foreign countries and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. The words cultural tourism are now part of the language of tourism, and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions. If they are lucky- and have had sensible, strong governments- many countries also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit. Finally there is perhaps a nations greatest attraction: its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, it is also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year. They come mainly- because of the friendliness of the Thai people, it is why the Pacific Islands are also so popular. There may not be much to see or do in Fiji, but there are lots of friendly, smiling people to make visitors feel welcome.63.The passage is mainly about _. A. the importance of tourism B. different foreign cultures C. how to plan an overseas trip D. why people travel to foreign countries64.The writer thinks that large cities in foreign countries _. A. are similar to one another B. share the same aircraft C. do not have good hotels D. do not offer a warm service to foreigners65.The writer believes that many tourists are interested in foreign _. A. hotels B. history C. cars D. programs66.Cultural tourism means . A. visiting lots of museums B. traveling overseas C. studying the history of a foreign country D. tourists being interested in a nations past and ideasBBeijing - A recent Chinese blockbuster (轰动的作品) “A World Without Thieves” is based on the experiences of a young migrant worker (民工)carrying 60,000 yuan on a train packed with thieves. But while the image of a warm-hearted but somewhat naive migrant worker may have made film fans chuckle, its a sure bet that most of Chinas migrant workers are yet to step into a cinema to admire it.“Forty yuan a ticket? I cant afford it,” said Shen Jie, a migrant worker at a construction site in Dongzhimen, east Beijing.Shen found it hard to remember when he last watched a film, or what it was about. “It must be 10 years ago,” he said.Though they are the builders of the nations theaters and cinemas, a limited cultural life is common among Chinas 120 million migrant workers.Shen arrived from East Chinas Zhejiang Province in1991. Life was better then; money seemed to come more easily. “Now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, its too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think about watching films,” he said.For many like Shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their childrens education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life forever. This drives them to work hard and save as much as possible.With a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, Shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parents.In Shens small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998.A recent survey by local media showed that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chatting because of exhaust and a lack of income. The same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a day. Around 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural life.Like many of Shens co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in Beijings streets provide evening entertainment. From China Daily67. We can infer from the passage “A World Without Thieves” is a film that _.A. talks about experiences of a group of thieves B. deals with the life of migrant workersC. explains how to catch thieves on trainsD. attracts many migrant workers68. As for the migrant worker, Shen Jie, _.A. life was harder when he first came to work in BeijingB. he enjoyed a lot of films ten years agoC. his wish was to pay for his sons education D. the capital is too hard a place for him to make any money69. According the passage, which of the following is TRUE _.A. the workers enjoy reading very much, no matter how old the magazines are B. the workers have so little to read that they often read the same magazine again and againC. the workers enjoy magazines because they are easy to understandD. the workers think highly of the copy of the magazine published in 199870. The main idea of this passage is that migrant workers _.A. lack cultural experiencesB. are not very well-paid in BeijingC. are looked down upon by city peopleD. need the governments attentionCAmong the four skills in learning English, which one of these is the “odd-man-out”? The answer is speaking. The other three you can do alone on your own. But you cant really speak alone! Speaking to yourself can be “dangerous” because men in white coats may come and take you away!Where can you find people to speak English? And how can you practise speaking when you are alone?At school If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible. Dont worry about your mistakes. Just speak!Conversation Clubs Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.Shopping Even if you dont want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop. “How much does this cost?” “Can I pay by cheque?” Often you can start a real conversationand it costs you nothing!Cafe and Bars There are often American, Britain, Irish and Australian bars in many large cities. If you can find one, youll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.Language is all around you Everywhere you go, you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices, and car numbersWhen you walk down the street, practise reading the words and numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. Its not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to “think” in English. But dont speak too loud!Songs and Video Repeat the words of an English-language song singing with the music until it becomes automatic. Its good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.Above all, speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible! When you know that you have made a mistake, you know that you have made progress!71.What does “odd-man-out” probably mean according to the passage?A.
