Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Decide which is the best choice.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals（网友），you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.
Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are "talking" online ---- many of them are talking at the same time.
It’s fast: trying talking to six people at once. It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange（交流）．It takes cleverness, concentration（注意力集中）and quick fingers.
And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations．Why waste precious key-strokes（键盘敲击）telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB（＝be right back) will do？
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI（＝pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you’re talking to？Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location（地点）．You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF（＝on the floor), or LOL（＝laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL（＝rolling on the floor laughing)．
And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG（＝got to go) or TTYL（＝talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the "shift" key and use capitals. Punctuation is going, too.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with students. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.）The ideal student is considered to be one who is encouraged to learn for the purpose of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Some students may be frustrated with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with short written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, students should learn the material assigned.
When research is assigned, the professor expects students to begin and to complete the assignment with minimum instruction. It is the student’s responsibility to find books and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works：they expect students, especially graduate students（研究生），to be able to find what they need in the library.
Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not depend on them too much. This is different from teacher-student relationships in other countries. In the United States，professors have other duties in addition to teaching. Often they do some administrative（行政的）work within their departments. In addition, they may be required to write articles and books. Therefore, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either ask a professor for help during office hours or make an appointment（预约）．
6. What does the author mean by saying that "Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams"?
A) Students study hard only for exams.
B) Teachers think it necessary for their students to fail exams.
C) Teachers think that the only purpose of studying hard is to pass exams.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Your body works 24 hours a day. It's always building and repairing, feeding and cleansing itself. Its goal is to be ready for your every movement, breath, and thought. The quality of your life depends on how well your body works. And how well your body works depends on how much energy it gets. Energy comes from the food you eat. Food contains nutrients that your body needs for growth and energy.
By eating a balanced diet, your body gets the six essential nutrients it needs. Minerals are nutrients that build bones and teeth. Minerals also form red blood cells and other substances. Water aids digestion and waste removal. Carbohydrates give your body its main source of energy. Two carbohydrates are sugars from foods such as fruits and vegetables and starches found in rice, potatoes, and bread. Fats help build cell membranes. Proteins repair and grow body tissues. Finally, vitamins help your body use carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has created a nutritional food pyramid. It shows the daily number of servings you should eat from five food groups. The food pyramid has four levels. The base of the pyramid is the largest level. It contains the bread, cereal, rice, and pasta group from which you need six to eleven servings. The next level has two food groups: vegetables and fruits. The USDA recommends three to five servings of vegetables and two to four servings of fruit. The third level also has two groups: the milk, yogurt, and cheese group and the meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts group. You need two to three servings from each of these groups. The top of the pyramid is the smallest level. It contains fats, oils, and sweets. These foods have few nutrients, so eat them sparingly.

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs．In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.
In our 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, Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.

A) the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people
B) it is out of date to talk about the generation gap
