问题     Nowadays, it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a【S1】______between young people and their elders. Parents complained that their children did not show them proper respect and【S2】______. while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap【S3】______appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.
    One important cause of the generation gap is the【S4】______that young people have to choose their own lifestyles. In more【S5】______societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the【S6】______area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry — or live with — people whom their parents have never【S7】______. and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
    In our modern society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did; to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. But often they discover that they have very little in【S8】______with each other.     The speed at which changes take place in our society is【S9】______cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date【S10】______. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.
[A] traditional  [F] met         [K] common
[B] subjection   [G] same        [L] obedience
[C] confronted   [H] opportunity [M] other
[D] overnight    [I] civilized   [N] distinction
[E] division     [J] suddenly    [O] another [br] 【S5】
选项
答案 A
解析 空前的more和空后的societies表明，本空应填一形容词。[D]overnight、[G]same、[M]other和[O]another均不能被more修饰，故首先排除。本段主要讲述在两种不同的社会里，年轻一代身上发生的变化。结合In our society和下一段首句提到的In our modern society可知，本段后半部分讲的是现代社会的情况，由此可以推断出，前面讲的是以前传统社会的情况，故答案为[A]traditional“传统的”。末段的traditional为本空所填词的原词复现。[K]common“普通的；共有的”不符合此处语境，故排除。[I]civilized“文明的”虽可以被more修饰，但与此处语义相反，故排除。
