一、阅读理解

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and wanted to work in Disney's cartoon films for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he yelled "Stop! That's our Duck!"

The Duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film as a wise little hen. Donald lived in old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat 渝粤题库 . Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice, when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.

In the 1930s, '40s and '50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared-there were no more new cartoons. Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons o 成人学历 n television and hear that famous voice.

Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot of money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideas of their elders. This is as it should be.

The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don't like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their elders. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn't people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And who said that all men in the world should wear grey clothes and short hair? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal lives? Haven't the old lost touch with all that is important in life?

Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not "sinful". Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and enjoy your leisure. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future.

A.The young are more knowledgeable about the world around than they were.

B.The young treat historical events as seriously as they do.

C.The young do not behave the way they did when they were young.

D.The young tend to use violence to solve their problems.

7.The old people believe that ______.

A.the old values they have kept to should also change with the advancing society

B.they know more because they have experienced much more of life

C.young people are good successors to their ideas

D.young people should not continue to live the way they did

8.The young are challenging traditional values EXCEPT in ______.

A.clothing fashion

B.traditional concepts

C.fixed working hours

D.marriage patterns

9.We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that ______.

A.the young generation differs from the old in their attitude toward life

B.the young generation seeks to possess more material wealth

C.the old are regretful for their past personal lives

D.the old have been trying to keep up with the modern life

A.they should fully enjoy life

B.they should expect a better future and cherish the hard past time
