Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the question. The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74% perceived major differences. Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults. If large differences between the generations exist, why don’t they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold. First, the two largest areas of difference-technology and music-are less emotionally charged than political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation’s prowess in technology rather than to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to that desire. Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as superior to their own generation-clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of “Don’t trust anyone over thirty.” According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values, work ethic and respect for others.
3. Question 26: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage? A. Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America. B. Generation gap doesn’t cause a big problem in American families. C. The areas of difference in generation gap have changed over the years. D. The generation gap in the past was different from that in the modern time. Question 27: The word "them” in second paragraph refers to ___. A. adultsB. Americans C. differencesD. areas Question 28: The word “prowess” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ___. A. skillB. enrichmentC. creationD. awareness Question 29: According to paragraph 3, what are the two reasons why large differences between generations don’t cause disagreement? A. The generosity of the elder generation and the attitude of the younger generation. B. The different styles of music and the knowledge of the elder generation. C. The pride of the elder generation and the obedience of the younger one D. The major areas of difference between generations and the respect for the elder generation. Question 30: According to the passage, which is NOT true? A. Grandparents feel uncomfortable with their grandchildren because of their better technology skills. B. The majority of Americans agree that there are major differences in generations’ viewpoints. C. The elderly in America are admired in moral values, work ethics and respect for others. D.

There are several expressions in English ___(32)___ emphasize the importance of being direct: “Get to the point! Don’t beat around the bush! Let’s get down to business!” These sayings all indicate the importance of dealing directly with issues rather than avoiding them. One way to determine whether a culture favors a direct or indirect style in communication is to find out how the people in that culture express disagreement or how they say, “No”. In Japan, there are at least fifteen ways of saying “No”, without actually saying the word. __(33)___, in some countries, there are different ways to disagreement. For example, it would be considered rude to say directly “I disagree with you” or “You’re wrong”. __(34)___ Americans believe that “honesty is the best policy” and their communication style reflects this.

The word "robot" first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a man makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the 1940s, the American science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov, wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term “robotics”, the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer,
4. Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produced the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well. These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces of computer- controlled machines, with metal "arms" or "hands". Since they were made of metal, they could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots. Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put into use by governments and scientists in situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an unexploded bomb or an accident at a nuclear power plant. Researchers also use robots to collect samples of hot rocks or gases in active volcanoes. In space exploration, robots have performed many key tasks where humans could not be present, such as on the surface of Mars. In 2004, two robotic Rovers, small six-wheeled computerized cars, were sent to Mars. Question 36: When did the word “robot” appear?
