【原文】M: Some of my friends were visiting grandparents in Florida, while others were going to the Louvre in Paris. My brother had even been invited by his friend’s family to go to the beach in Bangkok. However, my parents couldn’t take vacation during Christmas week.
I came home from school that day to find a newsletter, which contained an ad for a community-service trip during Christmas week. I sent in an application anyway, went for an interview, and was actually very excited when I was accepted into the program. But I was worried at the airport the day we set off because I had never been so far from home by myself.
On Christmas Day, we served Christmas dinner to homeless people. Afterward, we saw how the walls of the temple had been damaged by ten feet of floodwater. Then we helped clean the grounds of a local temple.
The project I loved most was helping at an animal rescue center. We walked the animals, and fed them. Six thousand dogs and cats, separated from their owners, were rescued by that shelter after the hurricane.
When I returned to New York and told my friends about my trip, I realized how ridiculous I had been to be jealous of their Christmas plans. All the things I saw in New Orleans, and the small ways I would contribute to the rebuilding of the city made that week the most memorable vacation I can imagine.

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 (服从), while children complained 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 (结构) 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. 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 wish that parents have for their children is 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 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.
28. What is the text mainly about
A. The concept of generation gap.
B. The reasons for generation gap.
C. Ways to reduce generation gap.
D. Attitudes towards generation gap.
29. In modern society, young people often ________.
A. depend on their parents to make a life
B. live with their parents in the same area
C. ask their parents for the best advice
D. have very little in common with their parents
30. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Parents should be strict with their children.
B. The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation.
C. Parents couldn’t do things well themselves.
D. The young never want to satisfy their parents.
31. Which of the following also causes the generation gap
A. Parents are not strict enough with their children.
B. The young value the old too much for their wisdom.
C. Young people don’t have the knowledge of a lifetime.
D. The society develops too fast.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了现代社会的普遍现象代沟问题，分析了代沟问题的主要原因。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life.（造成代沟的一个重要原因是年轻人有机会选择自己的生活方式）”和第三段中“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.（在我们这个瞬息万变的社会里，父母们常常期望他们的孩子比他们做得更好:找到更好的工作，赚更多的钱，做所有他们无法做的事情）”以及最后一段第一句“Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations.（最后，我们社会发生变化的速度是造成代沟的另一个原因）”由此可知，这篇文章介绍了代沟的原因。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“they discover that they have very little in common with each other（他们发现彼此之间几乎没有什么共同之处 ）”，可知，在现代社会，年轻人和他们的父母很少有共同之处。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“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 wish that parents have for their children is another cause of the disagreement between them.（在我们这个瞬息万变的社会里，父母们常常期望他们的孩子比他们做得更好:找到更好的工作，赚更多的钱，做所有他们无法做的事情。 然而，父母对孩子的强烈愿望往往是他们之间分歧的另一个原因）”由此可知，代沟部分是由老一辈造成的。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations.（最后，我们社会发生变化的速度是造成代沟的另一个原因）”由此可知，社会发展得太快是导致代沟的另一个原因。故选D。

The effects of noise can reach organisms (生物体) without ears. Because of the way living things rely on each other, noise pollution may actually stop some forests from growing, a new study suggests. In a New Mexico woodland of pine trees, researchers found far fewer tree seedlings (小苗) in noisy sites than they did in quiet ones.
The study area is dotted with gas wells, some of which are quiet and some of which have compressors (压缩机) that create a constant noise. This allowed Jennifer Phillips, a behavioral ecologist at Texas A&M University-San Antonio and her colleagues to compare sites that were similar except for noise level. In areas that had been noisy for at least 15 years, the researchers found only about 13 pine seedlings, compared with 55 pine seedlings per hectare (公顷) in quiet areas.
The differences in plant growth were probably caused by changes in animal behavior, said Phillips. For example, noise might drive away certain pollinators (传粉昆虫) such as bees, bats and moths. In the case of pine trees, the problem was likely a lack of animals to disperse seeds. Pines depend on birds to carry their seeds away from the parent tree, and birds are known to avoid noise. The differences between the sites aren’t yet obvious to someone walking through them, said Sarah Termondt, a botanist (植物学家) with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who helped conduct the study. That’s probably because pines are slow-growing, with most of the mature trees in such woodlands being over a century old.
The study raises questions about the future of the area. “If the noise stays there long term, are we going to lose this important ecosystem of the pine which supports so much wildlife ” said Phillips. The study was published today in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society.
32. What does the new study focus on
A. The influence of noise pollution on plants.
B. The way the organisms receive noise.
C. The harm of noise pollution to insects.
D. The effects of noise pollution on humans .
33. What can be learned from paragraph 2 and 3
A. Gas wells dotted in the area provide favorable conditions for the study.
B. The study sites are different in many ways including their noise level.
C. It is difficult for plants to live without noise and animals.
D. People can easily find the difference between the noisy and the quiet sites.
34. What does the underlined word “mature” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Seedling. B. Thin.
C. Grown-up. D. Tall.
35. What does Phillips mean by saying the words in the last paragraph
A. Noise pollution is obviously a trouble that can be avoided.
B. Noise pollution could be a threat with the power to change ecosystems.
C. The pine forest is important because it supports so much wildlife.
D. Wildlife should be well protected for the future of this area.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍噪音对生态系统的影响。一项新的研究表明，由于生物相互依赖的方式，噪音污染实际上可能会阻止一些森林的生长。在新墨西哥州的一片松树林地，研究人员发现，在嘈杂的地方，树苗比在安静的地方要少得多。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Because of the way living things rely on each other, noise pollution may actually stop some forests from growing, a new study suggests.（一项新的研究表明，由于生物相互依赖的方式，噪音污染实际上可能会阻止一些森林的生长）”，可知，这项新研究的重点是噪音污染对植物的影响。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The study area is dotted with gas wells, some of which are quiet and some of which have compressors (压缩机) that create a constant noise.（研究区域布满了气井，有些气井很安静，有些气井的压缩机会产生持续的噪音）”由此可知，该地区的气井星罗棋布，为研究提供了有利条件。故选A。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中“in such woodlands being over a century old（在这片超过一个世纪的森林里）”，由此推知这里的树都是“长大的”树。所以划线部分词的意思是“成熟的，长大的”。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If the noise stays there long term, are we going to lose this important ecosystem of the pine which supports so much wildlife （如果噪音长期存在，我们是否会失去这个重要的松木生态系统，它支撑着如此多的野生动物 ）”，可推知，菲利普斯说最后一段话的意思是噪音污染可能成为改变生态系统的威胁。故选B。

Take my experience as an example, I have a good friend whose name is Betty. We had planned to watch a film last Saturday afternoon, but she told me that she had a cold and wanted to cancel our appointment last Friday night. I told her to take a good rest and go to the doctor if necessary so that she could make a full recovery. However, she was seen chatting with another girl at a tea shop last Saturday afternoon. Then, I refused to answer her calls and respond to any of her messages on social media for a whole day. On last Sunday night, I began to take a reflection on this whole thing. I felt guilty that I didn’t trust my friend and even gave her a chance to explain. So, I decided to have a talk with her face to face. The moment I left my home for hers, I saw she was standing outside of my house. I ran towards her and she explained everything to me. I said sorry to her for misunderstanding her. We have been closer ever since.

His social media account @blaze_813 has more than 500,000 followers. Moreover, when talking about what he has accomplished and will accomplish in the future, his father Rudolph Ingram Sr. said, “This is my baby. I feel like he’s a one in a million children.

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 (服从), while children complained 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 (结构) 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. 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 wish that parents have for their children is 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 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.
28. What is the text mainly about
A. The concept of generation gap.
B. The reasons for generation gap.
C. Ways to reduce generation gap.
D. Attitudes towards generation gap.
29. In modern society, young people often ________.
A. depend on their parents to make a life
B. live with their parents in the same area
C. ask their parents for the best advice
D. have very little in common with their parents
30. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Parents should be strict with their children.
B. The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation.
C. Parents couldn’t do things well themselves.
D. The young never want to satisfy their parents.
31. Which of the following also causes the generation gap
A. Parents are not strict enough with their children.
B. The young value the old too much for their wisdom.
C. Young people don’t have the knowledge of a lifetime.

The effects of noise can reach organisms (生物体) without ears. Because of the way living things rely on each other, noise pollution may actually stop some forests from growing, a new study suggests. In a New Mexico woodland of pine trees, researchers found far fewer tree seedlings (小苗) in noisy sites than they did in quiet ones.
The study area is dotted with gas wells, some of which are quiet and some of which have compressors (压缩机) that create a constant noise. This allowed Jennifer Phillips, a behavioral ecologist at Texas A&M University-San Antonio and her colleagues to compare sites that were similar except for noise level. In areas that had been noisy for at least 15 years, the researchers found only about 13 pine seedlings, compared with 55 pine seedlings per hectare (公顷) in quiet areas.
The differences in plant growth were probably caused by changes in animal behavior, said Phillips. For example, noise might drive away certain pollinators (传粉昆虫) such as bees, bats and moths. In the case of pine trees, the problem was likely a lack of animals to disperse seeds. Pines depend on birds to carry their seeds away from the parent tree, and birds are known to avoid noise. The differences between the sites aren’t yet obvious to someone walking through them, said Sarah Termondt, a botanist (植物学家) with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who helped conduct the study. That’s probably because pines are slow-growing, with most of the mature trees in such woodlands being over a century old.
The study raises questions about the future of the area. “If the noise stays there long term, are we going to lose this important ecosystem of the pine which supports so much wildlife ” said Phillips. The study was published today in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society.
32. What does the new study focus on
A. The influence of noise pollution on plants.
B. The way the organisms receive noise.
C. The harm of noise pollution to insects.
D. The effects of noise pollution on humans .
33. What can be learned from paragraph 2 and 3
A. Gas wells dotted in the area provide favorable conditions for the study.
B. The study sites are different in many ways including their noise level.
C. It is difficult for plants to live without noise and animals.
D. People can easily find the difference between the noisy and the quiet sites.
34. What does the underlined word “mature” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Seedling. B. Thin.
C. Grown-up. D. Tall.
35. What does Phillips mean by saying the words in the last paragraph
A Noise pollution is obviously a trouble that can be avoided.
B. Noise pollution could be a threat with the power to change ecosystems.
C. The pine forest is important because it supports so much wildlife.
D. Wildlife should be well protected for the future of this area.
