第三节 短文理解2
阅读下列短文,从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。
Food in Britain has had a bad name abroad for a very long time. Visitors from foreign countries complain(抱怨) about the meals that they order in restaurants. The British themselves do not like to complain so the meals in restaurants are not always good.
But in a city like London there are many different kinds of food. There are so many restaurants serving foreign dishes that it can be difficult to find one serving only British food. The people who came from other countries have brought their own cooking to Britain so there are restaurants serving different kinds of foreign food.
Foreigners also complain about uninteresting meals served at home for the family. Though there are so many complaints about uninteresting food, there seems to be a great interest in cooking among people in Britain. Cooking books sell very well. Newspapers and magazines often offer(提供) unusual recipes from foreign countries as well as old recipes from the past and from many different places of Britain. These places of Britain offer some very good dishes. So there must be a lot of British people who live to eat, not eat to live.
If the British like to complain, the meals in restaurants may ______.
A.cost less
B.become better
C.be served a longer time
Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
People today are still talking about the generation gap (代沟). Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all.
What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared?
One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to many people that their parents like, and often to continue the family occupation.
Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.
Finally, the high speed of social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight(隔夜).
According to the passage, children today expect their parents to ______.
A.give them more independence
B.choose a good job for them
C.live together with them
D.make more money

Not everyone, however, shares this anxiety. Millions sleepwalk their way through their lives as if nothing had changed since the 1930's, and as if nothing ever will. Living in what is certainly one of the most exciting periods in human history, they attempt to withdraw from it, to block it out, as if it were possible to make it go away by ignoring it.
One sees them everywhere. Old people, resigned to live out their years, attempting to avoid, at any cost, the intrusion(扰乱,侵犯) of the new. People of thirty-five and forty five, nervous about student riots, sex, L.S.D, or miniskirts, feverishly attempting to persuade themselves that, after ail, youth was always rebellious, and that what is happening to day is no different from the past. Even among the young we find an incomprehension of change: students so ignorant of the past that they see nothing unusual about the present.
The disturbing fact is that the vast majority of people find the idea of change so threatening that they attempt to deny its existence. Even many people who understand intellectually that change is accelerating, do not take this critical social fact into account in planning their own personal lives.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Things are moving faster.
B.Change is out of control.
C.People react differently to changes.
D.Young students are ignorant of changes.
