Passage Two
Questions 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 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 critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is 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，young 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 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.
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 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.
The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.
A. the generation gap suddenly appeared
B. the generation gap is a feature of American life
C. how people can reduce the generation gap
D. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
正确答案：B

Generation Gap 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 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 critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is 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,young people often travel great distances for their education,most out of the family home at an early age,marry or live or choose occupations different from those of their parents. In our upwardly mobile 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.

A:on all sides
B:in every direction
C:near
D:in existence答案：D解析：文章第一段主要讲述了美国社会中所存在的代沟问题：父母抱怨孩子们不够尊敬和服从他们；孩子们抱怨父母不理解他们。实际上，该问题已经存在了很长一段时间。评论家认为代沟已经成为美国社会结构的一部分。由此可见，代沟是美国的一种特征。因此B为正确答案。
由文章第一段倒数第二句话可知，代沟问题已经存在了很长时间。around在此处意思是“存在”，与in existence（存在）意思相近。因此D为正确答案。
文章从三方面讲述了代沟形成的原因。由第二段第一句话可知，形成代沟的一个重要原因是年轻人必须选择自己的生活方式；由第三段第一句话可知，父母对孩子期望过高也是代沟形成的一个原因；由第四段第一句话可知，社会的快速变化也是导致代沟形成的原因。而文中并未提到现代教育使得孩子与父母想法不同的问题。因此D为正确答案。
由文章第三段最后一句话可知，父母和孩子会发现彼此之间几乎没有相似之处。因此D为正确答案。
文章主要讲的是美国社会中所存在的代沟问题及其形成的原因，并没有提到如何解决这一问题，因此排除A.B选项；而D项（美国社会应该避免代沟问题）文中也未提及.由文章第三段可知，父母对孩子期望过高也是形成代沟的原因。因此C为正确答案。 -

正确答案： A解析：
题目问的是：根据文章，富人和穷人间的收入差距可能会因为什么再次扩大？文章第2段提到“Some long-term sick...grow relatively poorer if... raise benefits only in line with prices.”，以及第5段提到“it could widen again if the real value of earnings accelerated away from the real value of prices-linked benefits”，表明了如果福利只与价格挂钩，不顾人们收入的真正价值，贫富差距很可能会拉大。故D正确。 -

American Dreams
There is a common response to America among foreign writers:the US is a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliche（陈词滥调）.
In the land of black and white,people should not be too surprised to find some of the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world.But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone.______(46)No class system or government stands in the way.
Sadly,this old argument is no longer true.Over the past few decades there has been a fundamental shift in the structure of the American economy.
The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened.______(47)
Over the past 25 years the median US family income has gone up 18 per cent.For the top 1 per cent,however,it has gone up 200 per cent. Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of Americans had an average income 6 .7 times that of the bottom fifth.______（48)
Inequalities have grown worse in different regions.In California,incomes for lower class fam-dies have fallen by 4 per cent since 1969.______(49)This has led to an economy hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans.The wealthiest 1 per cent of households now control a third of the national wealth.There are now 37 million Americans living in poverty. At 12.7 per cent of the population,it is the highest percentage in the developed world.
Yet the tax burden on America's rich is falling,not growing.______(50)There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole.But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.______(48)
A: Nobody is poor in the US.
B: Thetop0.01 per cent of households has seen its tax bite fall by a full 25 percentage points since 1980.
C: For upper class families they have risen 41 per cent.
D: Nowitis9.8 times.
E: As it does so,the possibility to cross that gap gets smaller and smafler.
F: All one has to do is to work hard and climb the ladder towards the top.答案：D解析：根据空前后句意可知美国贫富差距很大，美国梦给了所有人希望，这种希望没有阶级和政府阻挠。由此可推测空处要表达的意思是“所有人都会努力奋斗，向上流社会攀爬”，故选F。
空前、空后句子都说的是美国贫富差距越来越大，可推知空处应该说的也是“gap", 故选E，确实是这样，跨越这条鸿沟的可能性变得越来越小。
此段主要是举例说明“gap”变得越来越大，说了过去25年的差距，肯定要说现在来进行比较，故选D。
此段主要说贫富不公的现象愈加严重，在加利福尼亚，穷人的收入从1969年至今下降了4%，再根据空后的“给那一小部分非常有钱的人带来巨大的经济优势”，可推测，空处所表达的意思是“富人的收入增长了”，故选C。
根据此段第一句和最后一句可推测，空处应是对美国有钱人赋税降低的举例，故选B。 -
