Unit 3
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
(35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by
some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them
for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained,
more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are
possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that
they talk too much about certain problems — and that they have no sense of humour,
at least in parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget
how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in
entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world
into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of
their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes
or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they
are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to
approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own
age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can't win
but at least you can keep your honour. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is
natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your
parents' control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible
for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm
others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress
others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the
authority to do what you want to do.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent
abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing (定量供应) is virtually
suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet,
instead of joy, there is wide-spread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices
keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance
only temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now
about producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect.
The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been
unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests
in North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britain's overseas
suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen.
But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by
