• 4．讀下面的文章，然后回答文章后的問題，正確的答案寫T，錯(cuò)的答案寫F。
     The difference in the ways of thinking and perception（看法） in the people of two different generations is usually called the generation gap （代溝） .It leads to differences and sometimes，conflicts（沖突） between them.
     We can generally see the generation gap between parents and their children.It is not only because of the gap in age，but also because of the way parents react（反應(yīng)） to a situation.Children are young and they do not understand the way of thinking of their parents.Parents do not understand the changing values and thinking patterns（模式） of the world today.This creates a communication gap between these two generations.
     The generation gap between parents and children is mostly because of parents themselves.They do not talk openly to their children and do not take part in solving their problems.This behaviour（行為） makes parents look like authoritative（權(quán)威式的） persons，because they only tell their children what to do without understanding their children's problems.Some parents are so busy with their work that they don't spend quality（質(zhì)量） time with their family.It makes them completely have no idea of how their children are growing.This finally creates a gap between them.
     Changes in technology have led to the generation gap today.Children spend lots of their time with their digital devices（電子設(shè)備） and are busy with social media.The Internet provides solutions to most of the worldly problems.So children turn to the Internet for help.It again reduces（減少） the communication and leads to a generation gap between them.
     The generation gap has greatly increased these days because the time is changing fast and people find it difficult to deal with this change.To overcome this problem，parents should show interest in all matters of their children and deal with them positively （積極地） .Giving time to the children，having open communication.and allowing the children to feel free and not in any kind of pressure（壓力） will reduce he generation gap.
  
  （1）The generation gap between parents and their children only because of the gap in age．

  
  （2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about why there is a generation gap between parents and children．

  
  （3）Changes in technology is another reason that have led to the generation gap today．

  
  （4）Parents just tell the kids what to do because they want to be authoritative．

  
  （5）The writer write this passage to ask children to change their way of communication with their parents．

• 13．One of the world's most dangerous sports is mountain climbing，and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas.The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China.Of all the mountains，Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous.It is 8，844.43 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb.Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard.Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms.It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
     The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29，1953.The first Chinese team did so in 1960，while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.
     Why do so many climbers risk their lives？One of the main reasons is because people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties.The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams.It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.
  
  （1）Where are the Himalayas？
  

  
  （2）Which is the highest of all the mountains？
  

  
  （3）How high is Qomolangma？
  

  
  （4）Why do so many people try to climb this mountain even though it is dangerous？
  

  
  （5）What spirit do the climbers tell us？
