Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they

find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom

have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for

perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient

with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original

ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can

only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if

it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does

sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient

buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn

from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to

imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.

A. they are aged

B. they find it hard to accept modern things

C. they take their standards of perfection from the Greek

D. they look at things by the standards of the past

第3题

Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. The United States was mad at the Japanese so they made

many Japanese-Americans leave their homes. They were put in camps with barbed wire around the outside of the camps.

Many Japanese-American young men were called into the army. Some of them joined the U.S. Military Intelligence Service or MIS. The MIS was a secret group that fought the Japanese soldiers. This secret group translated important maps and papers. They questioned Japanese prisoners. Another task they did was to translate diaries written in Japanese.

Sometimes Japanese soldiers hid in caves to hide from the Americans. The MIS would try to get the scared soldiers to leave the caves. This was known as "cave flushing." Some of the soldiers would give up and leave the caves.

Other Japanese would jump to their deaths.

The MIS never got awards for their efforts until the year 2000. Then they were rewarded for their brave acts in World War II. It took almost sixty years for them to be honored.

Gayle Yamada has made a film about the brave Japanese-American MIS. The film is called "Uncommon Courage" and is a true story. Hopefully, Yamada's film and the movie, "Pearl Harbor," will not cause people to hate Japanese-Americans or any other race.

The letters MIS stood for ______.

A．Missing Infantry Soldiers

B．Military Intelligence Service

C．Military Intelligence Soldiers

D．Military Infamy Service

Generation gap refers to the difference in ideas, feelings, and interests between the olde

r and younger people. It is especially considered as causing a lack of communication and understanding between the two generations.

There is apparent generation gap between the young and the old nowadays. The younger generation is essentially different from the older generation. The young people live in a new age completely different from the old. They have grown up more happily and are not so dependent on adults as their parents were. They are better educated and enjoy more freedom. They easily accept new things and new ideas. They are more concerned with the present and the future, whereas the world of the older people has vanished, and they do not understand all of the problems of the modern world. They grew up in a world which was different from today's world. They often talk about "the good old days" and tend to assert old things and ideas. They don't like to feel that their beliefs and values are being questioned and threatened. They would like the young to learn from them, but the young refuse to accept their values. They cannot understand why the young complain about the conventional things and old systems and why they want to make changes in these things to fit the needs of modern society, As a result, the old people think the young are not what they were, and most young people are unable to learn from the parents and elders who they will never be.

In order to reconcile the differences, both generation should realize that the world has changed, and that new responses are necessary for many of the problems of society. Besides, some forms of organizations should be established to help the young and the old exchange their ideas and strengthen their mutual understanding so as to bridge the gap.

One important reason for the difference existing between the young and the old is that ______.

A．they live in different ages

B．they live in different countries

C．they live in separate planets

D．they hate each other

第10题

Exercise may not be fun, but it isn't that hard. You don't need more than 20 minutes a day, and that's something pretty much everyone can spare. We often neglect our physical health because we're full of bad excuses. If that sounds like you, make this weekend the one where you start getting in shape.

Don't bother with equipment you don't need. With the amount of equipment you'll find in a gym, it's easy to believe you need a lot of stuff to exercise. Sure, that fancy equipment works fine, but people got in shape without it for a long time before it was an option. There's no reason you can't do this, too, so don't assume you need to spend a lot of money. You don't need to spend any, really, unless you plan to run and need a decent pair of shoes.

Put together a plan you can follow. Nobody sticks with an exercise routine they hate. You have to at least be able to tolerate a fair amount of the workout you plan for yourself and find a way to stay motivated to do the rest. If you like the traditional route—that is, exercising for around 30-45 minutes a few days a week—we put together a workout routine that you can follow easily.

Don't start a great routine and then sit all day long. Getting exercise is important, but it doesn't mean much if you're sitting down all day. Fortunately that can be easily-remedied by just getting up once in a while, doing some desk exercises, and/or switching to a standing desk. The important thing is that you're not a lumpy human being for most hours of your life. When you're active for only a very small portion of a given day, exercise isn't going to help you all that much.

1.According to the passage, why couldn’t many people keep themselves in good condition?

A. They are short of money.

B. They are very tired after a day’s work.

C. They always find many different excuses.

D. They are very busy all the time.

2.Which of the following is a better workout plan, according to the passage?

A. The one people have to tolerate all the workout.

B. The one people keep motivated to go on.

C. The one people have to keep exercising for around 30-45 minutes every day.

D. The one people hate to follow.

3.What is advised to do to help you stay healthy according to the passage?

A. Keep standing up and sitting down while working.

B. Switch desks while working.

C. Get up occasionally while working.

D. Be active while working.

4.Which of the following statements is true according to passage?

A. You need to set aside a very small portion of a day for exercise.

B. You need to spend a lot of money doing exercise.

C. you need some stuff to exercise.

D. You need to make a plan you can follow.

5.What can not be implied from the passage?

A. There are people who always find reasons to do what seems impossible.

B. People should await his chance instead of creating it.

C. Numerous people always find excuses to give up something possible.

D. People should stop making excuses and starting out before it is too late.

He was afraid, but Eve repeated again and again: "It' s good. Here, eat it. Why not？" So he finally ate the apple.

Before they ate the apple; Adam and Eve didn' t know that they were naked. But now they were ashamed and covered their bodies with leaves. God was angry with them. He said, "Leave the Gar den. You cannot stay here."
