Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of

modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchroom. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than the people of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.

Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life -- to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe？

Since the late 1950's life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gains. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of the new French way of life？

A．Efficiency.

B．Tension.

C．Competition.

D．Taste.

Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect

a power straggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent gaining courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior. will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive.

But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is fight.

(77) Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into "solid citizens" who fulfill most of their parents' expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the "generation gap" is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents' values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.

According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect ______.

A．feeling of hatred

B．power struggle

C．that they don' t care for each other

D．that they may appeal to divorce

Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to th

e cashless society in which all payments are made electronically. 1 a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions have been 2 for two decades but have not yet come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment would soon "revolutionize the very 3 of money itself," only to 4 itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 5 in coming？

Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work 6 the disappearance of the paper system.

We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database and to alter information 15 there.

The 18 of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a new field of computer science is developing to 19 security issues. A further concern is that the use of e lectronic means of payment leaves an electronic 20 that contains a large amount of personal data. There are concerns that government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby violating our privacy.

第8题

Though often viewed as a problem for western states, the growing frequency of wildfires is

anational concern because of its impact on federal tax dollars, says Professor Max Moritz, a specialistin fire ecology and management.

In 2015, the US Forest Service for the first time spent more than half of its $5.5 billion annualbudget fighting fires－nearly double the percentage it spent on such efforts 20 years ago. In effect,fewer federal funds today are going towards the agency&39;s other work－such as forest conservation,watershed and cultural resources management, and infrastructure upkeep －that affect the lives of all Americans. Another nationwide concern is whether public funds from other agencies are going into constructionin fire-prone districts. As Moritz puts it, how often are federal dollars building homes that are likelyto be lost to a wildfire？

“It’s already a huge problem from a public expenditure perspective for the whole country, We need to take a magnifying glass to that. Like, “Wait a minute, is this OK ？”“Do we want insteadto redirect those funds to concentrate on lower-hazard parts of the landscape？ ” Such a view would require a corresponding shift in the way US society today views fire, researcherssay.

For one thing, conversations about wildfires need to be more inclusive. Over the past decade, thefocus has been on climate change－how the warming of the Earth from greenhouse gases is leadingto conditions that worsen fires. While climate is a key element, Moritz says, it shouldn’t come at the expense of the rest of theequation.

“The human systems and the landscapes we live on are linked, and the interactions go both ways,"he says. Failing to recognize that, he notes, leads to "an overly simplified view of what the solutionsmight be. Our perception of the problem and of what the solution is becomes very limited. At the same time, people continue to treat fire as an event that needs to be wholly controlled andunleashed only out of necessity, says Professor Balch at the University of Colorado. But macknowledging fire&39;s inevitable presence in human life is an attitude crucial to developing the laws,policies, and practices that make it as safe as possible, she says.

“We’ve disconnected ourselves from living with fire, ” Balch says. “It is really important tounderstand and try and tease out what is the human connection with fire today. ”

36.More frequent wildfires have become a national concern because in 2015 they_____.

A.exhausted unprecedented management efforts

B.consumed a record-high percentage of budget

C.severely damaged the ecology of western states

D.caused a huge rise of infrastructure expenditure

While admitting that climate is a key element, Moritz notes that _____.A.public debates have not settled yet

B.fire-fighting conditions are improving

C.other factors should not be overlooked

D.a shift in the view of fire has taken place

The overly simplified view Moritz mentions is a result of failing to _____.A.discover the fundamental makeup of nature

B.explore the mechanism of the human systems

C.maximize the role of landscape in human life

D.understand the interrelations of man and nature

Moritz calls for the use of "a magnifying glass" to _____.A.raise more funds for fire-prone areas

B.avoid the redirection of federal money

C.find wildfire-free parts of the landscape

D.guarantee safer spending of public funds

Professor Balch points out that fire is something man should _____.A.do away with

B.come to terms with

C.pay a price for

D.keep away from

段落匹配：

[46]Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money,research has shown.

Penny-pinchingUK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidlrather than luxury alternatives.

This has wiped6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from￡1.19 billion in2011 to￡1.12billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. [47] Furthermore, the future of the market looks far fromrosy, with sales expected to fall further to ￡1.11 billion in 2016.

In the lastyear alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise inthe number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the averagehousehold reducing their toilet roll spending from ￡43 in 2014 to ￡41 in 2015.

Overall, almostthree in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper — includingfacial tissue and kitchen roll — to save money. “Strength, softness andthickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just asmall proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such asthose with flower patterns or perfume,” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. [48]“These extra features are deemed unnecessary by themajority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products aretypically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.”

[49]Whileconsumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy—in theory atleast —when it comes to paper quality. Top ofBritons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%)and thickness (36%).

[50]Onein 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their topconsiderations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of aconsideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challengefor manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buyingrecycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.

46. The market sales of toilet paper havedecreased because .

A) Britons have cut their spendingon it

B) its prices have gone up over theyears

C) its quality has seen markedimprovement

D) Britons have developed the habitof saving

47. What does the author think ofthe future of the tissue paper market in the UK？

A) It will expand in time.

C) It will experience ups and downs.

B) It will remain gloomy.

D) It will recover as populationgrows.

48. What does Jack Duckett say about toilot paper？

A) Special offers would promote its sales.

B) Consumers are loyal to certain brands.

C) Luxurious features add much to the price.

D) Consumers have a variety to choose from.

49. What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper？

A) They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.

B) They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.

C) They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.

D) They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.

50. What can we infer from the last paragraph？

A) more and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protectthe environment.

B) Toilet paper manufactures are facing a great challenge inpromoting its sales.

C) Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another toimprove product quality.

D) Environmental protection is not much of a concern whenBritons buy toilet paper.
