Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids' Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid's body is our physical ideal. In Kids' Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.
We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy (颠倒) situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrants the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the father, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its everexpanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the father was ever inheriting from his son. Kids' Country may be the inevitable result.
Kids' Country is not all bad. America is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids' Country. We not only wear kids' clothes and eat kids' food; we dream Kids' dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boy's game to go to the moon.
If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups (俯卧撑) against eternity.
The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that ______.
A.adults showed less concern for children than we do now
B.adults were smaller and thinner at that time; but they still had a lot of work to do
C.children looked and acted like adults at that time
D.children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time

One possible version:
The traffic issue is a hard nut to crack. It not only affects our everyday life, but may alsothreaten people’s ives. The three selections presented above are typical examples.
Quite a few things give rise to the traffic problem. In spite of the large-scale construction ofroads and highways, there is still much room for improvement, because of the ever increasing
number of cars these years. What爷s worse, some drivers, cyclists and pedestrians do not think it vital to obey traffic rules.
In fact, traffic rules are part of the rules and regulations closely related to public order. Withoutthem, people could not enjoy harmony or the country would be in chaos. But rules alone don’tsecure an orderly society. It is the people who obey the rules that matter. It is everybody’s duty toobserve them to keep our society in order and going on the right track.

第6题
But, you know, it is very possible that in the future the question will disappear, and we might very well ask instead, "What do you play?"
Computers and other technological, equipment are making jobs more automated and less personally demanding. Scientists tell us that one day in the foreseeable future, very few people will have to work. Our society will be operated by computers and we will have much more free time, so that our games will become more important than our jobs.
At the beginning of this century, almost everybody believed in work. But by the end of this century, we might be thinking quite differently. Today, people are divided into social classes in accordance with the types of work they do; tomorrow, it is more than likely that we will be divided according to the types of games we play.
This change in the use of our time may give rise to a new race of therapists (治疗学家) called "fun specialists," who will fill the same functions as our current career specialists. They will show us how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our leisure time. Someday people will no longer be known primarily by the work they do.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Work plays an important part in our general lifestyle.
B.People are divided into social classes according to how much they earn each month.
C.It is very possible that game will replace work as the most important part in our life.
D.Game players know how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our leisure time.

第二篇
Not content with its doubtful claim to produce cheap food for our own population, the factory farming industry also argues that "hungry nations are benefiting from advances made by the poultry(家禽) industry". In fact, rather than helping the fight against malnutrition(营养不良) in "hungry nations", the spread of factory farming has, inevitably aggravated the problem.
Large-scale intensive meat and poultry production is a waste of food resources. This is because more protein has to be fed to animals in the form. of vegetable matte than can ever be recovered in the form. of meat. Much of the food value is lost in the animal' s process of digestion and cell replacement. Neither, in the case of chicken, can one eat feathers, blood, feet or head. In all, only about 44% of the live animal fits to be eaten as meat.
This means one has to feed approximately 9~10 times as much food value to the animal than one can consume from the carcass. As a system for feeding the hungry, the effects can prove disastrous. At times of crisis, grain is the food of life.
Nevertheless, the huge increase in poultry production throughout Asia and Africa continues. Normally British or US firms are involved. For instance, an American based multinational company has this year announced its involvement in projects in several African countries. Britain's largest suppliers of chickens, Ross Breeder, are also involved in projects all over the world.
Because such trade is good for exports, Western governments encourage it. In 1979, a firm in Bangladesh called Phoenix Poultry received a grant to set up a unit of 6,000 chickens and 18,000 laying hens. This almost doubled the number of poultry kept in the country all at once.
But Bangladesh lacks capital, energy and food and has large numbers of unemployed. Such chicken-raising demands capital for building and machinery, extensive use of energy resources for automation, and involves feeding chickens with potential famine- relief protein food. At present, one of Bangladesh' s main imports is food grains, because the country is unable to grow enough food to feed its population. On what then can they possibly feed the chicken?
In this passage the author argues that______。
A. efficiency must be raised in the poultry industry
B. raising poultry can provide more protein than growing grain
C. factory farming will do more harm than good to developing countries
D. hungry nations may benefit from the development of the poultry industry
