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 humor, 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 honor. This is 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. 76.The author is primarily addressing ______.
A. parents of teenagers
B. those who give advice to teenagers C. newspaper readers D. teenagers
77.The first paragraph is mainly about ______. A. the teenagers' criticism of their parents
B. misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents C. the dominance of the parents over their children D. the teenagers' ability to deal with crises
78.Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______. A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own B. have a strong desire to be leader in style and taste C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better D. want to irritate their parents
79.Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they __
A. have already been accepted into the adult world B. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults C. are not likely to win over the adults D. have a desire to be independent
80.To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be ______. A. obedient B. co-operative C. responsible D. independent PAPER TWO PART V TRANSLATION (40 MINUTES,20 POINTS) Section A (20 minutes,10 points)
Directions: Put the following passage into Chinese. Write your Chinese version on Answer Sheet II.
The fact is that the energy crisis, which has suddenly been officially announced, has been with us for a long time now, and will be with us for an even longer time. Whether Arab oil flows freely or not, it is clear to everyone that world industry cannot be allowed to depend on so fragile a base. The supply of oil can be shut off at whim at any time, and in any case, the oil wells will all run dry in thirty years or so at the present rate of use. New sources of energy must be found, and this will take time, but it is not likely to result in any situation that will ever restore that sense of cheap and copious energy we have had in the times past. For an indefinite period from here on in mankind is going to advance cautiously, and consider itself lucky that it can advance at all. Section B (20 minutes,10 points)

READING COMPREHENSION (45 minutes,30 points)
Directions: There are 6 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 center.
(1) Today's trumpet is one of the world's oldest musical instruments. It is the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors, there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes. They are all blown. And they all use the player’s lips to produce the basic sound. The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material, and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performer to play all the notes of the scale, extend the range higher and lower, make it possible to play more difficult music, and, in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggle to perfect this glorious instrument. The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of several different sizes, and in several different keys. There are cornets, bugles, flagella horns, and a number of others that are all similar to the trumpet in the way they are made and played. The trumpet family is much more than a group of related instruments that can stir one with their sound, or narrow tubes of metal capable of producing a variety of musical sounds. It is a link to many different periods of history and to people of many cultures. From the use of trumpets in ancient religious ceremonies to the part they play in modern rock bands, the trumpet family of instruments has much to tell about civilization and its development. 51.What is the best title of the passage? A. Science and the Trumpet B. Recording of the Trumpet C. The Trumpet and its Ancestry D. How the Trumpet Is Made
52.It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is needed to make the trumpet work?
A. Air pressure B. Keen eyesight C .Daily cleaning D .Long fingers
53.Which of the following can be inferred about the first trumpet layers? A. They could not play all the notes of the scale. B. They were not able to pick up the trumpet. C. They could not play simple tunes.
D. They had difficulty improving upon the trumpet.
54.In the sentence \trumpet family is much more than a group of related instruments that can stir one with their sound, or narrow tubes of metal ...\\ replaced by ______.
A. the listener B. a family C .the composer D. an instrument 55.The author believes that the trumpet is particularly important because it ______. A. can be used in rock bands B. has historical significance C. is a religious instrument D. has a narrow range
(2)
Now modern zoologist has the least doubt as to the general fact of organic evolution. Consequently anthropologists take as their starting point the belief in the derivation of man from some other animal form. There is also no question as to where in a general way man's ancestry is to be sought. He is a mammal closely allied to the other mammals, and therefore has sprung from some mammalian type. His origin can be specified even more accurately. The mammals fall into a number of fairly distinct groups, such as the Carnivores, or flesh-eating animals, the Ungulates or hoofed animals, the rodents or gnawing animals, the Cetaceans or whales, and several others. The highest of these mammalian groups, as usually reckoned, is the Primate or \includes the various monkeys and apes and man. The ancestors of the human race are therefore to be sought somewhere in the order of Primates, past or present. The popular but inaccurate expression of this scientific conviction is that \is descended from the monkeys, \the famous \opinion, but it certainly is partly erroneous. Probably not a single authority maintains today that man is descended from any species of monkey now living. What students during the past sixty years have more and more come to be convinced of was already foreshadowed by Darwin: namely that man and the apes are both descended from a common ancestor. This common ancestor may be described as a primitive Primate, who differed in a good many details both from the monkeys and from man, and who has probably long since become extinct. 56.Modern zoologists strongly doubt ______. A. that man is derived from another animal form B. that man has sprung from another mammalian type C. the descent of man from any present day species of monkey D. the fact of organic evolution from primitive forms 57.It is stated for certain that ______.
A. man is descended from the very earliest monkeys
B .man's ancestors are to be found among present day Primates
C.man and ape have, in all probability, a common ancestor who has been extincted D. there is little evidence to support the theory of the \58.The Primate group of mammals includes all ______. A. flesh eating animals B. gnawing animals C .hoofed animals D. monkeys, apes, and man
