听力原文：Despite various improvements in all aspects of social life, the generation gap be

听力原文： Despite various improvements in all aspects of social life, the generation gap between the grown-up and young remains unbridged. Instead, it grows wider apart.

Nowadays, the youths do not blindly follow what their elders say. Owing to the widespread of education, the influence of western civilization, to a certain extent, gives them a new code of philosophy, which is completely different from that of their elders. An invisible cold wall thus appears between the two generations.

Modern youths are trying to be more revolutionary. They have their own interpretation for different matters; they also have their own ideals. Their reluctance to learn old teachings and sayings becomes the constant friction between the two generations. They always introduce new changes. However, the old people, wedded to everything of the past, are hostile to changes and the generation gap becomes wider and wider.

After all, the young generation, like the old one, is made of flesh and blood. The young also need respect and they also have skills and good ideas. In order to narrow the gap, both groups should respect each other, listen to the words of each other. Most probably, these may help to solve the problem.

(23)

A．Generation gap.

B．Modem youths.

C．Influence of western civilization.

D．Social improvements.

This is the "designer" age. People in the West talk of designer labels and designer violen

ce. The word "designer" has become an adjective loaded with the symbolism and imagery of the consumer society. For the first time in history, it is possible to live a "designer lifestyle"— if you can afford it.

But what does the word "design" mean？ The subject of design covers a wide range of activities, from materials technology at the hard end to styling and marketing at the soft end. The number of people who have made a contribution to the history of design at any of these levels is vast. Actually the term can also be confined to meaning the people who had the ideas and who invented the forms which changed our taste.

The term "design" as we now use it is a modern invention, a product of the division of labor and other economic changes thrown up by the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. With the rise of mechanized production and standardized products, there came the need for disciplined product planning. No longer did the person who had an idea for something go on to make it. The new order, in which the designer had the idea and the factory-worker manufactured it, meant the designer achieved a new and unprecedented status in the system.

The 20th century design has had an important influence on the Western way of life. Objects have acquired not only culture status, but massive symbolic significance through people's perceptions of them. The Coca-Cola bottle--the most famous bottle in the world and the classic piece of modern package design now symbolizes the power of the 20th century Western civilization to penetrate and erode other cultures. From modern painters such as Warhol to many contemporary films, Coca-Cola has become a symbol of cultural imperialism, and is such a familiar part of the consumer landscape that it is almost invisible.

The possibility that the Coca-Cola bottle was too familiar worried the company so much that several years ago they redesigned the famous logo and the bottle, and changed the taste of the syrup as part of an on-going battle with rival company Pepsi. So loud was the public outcry, however, that the company quickly reinstated all three.

Making an image and making an object have become indivisible parts of the design process. Coca-Cola owns nothing more than the recipe for a syrup and the copyright on a logo, yet it is a multimillion dollar business.

Now design is at the cutting edge of business competition. The importance of design has changed through the various phases of industrial growth, and in the years to come it will increasingly assume a high priority in corporate. Today, placing the idea of quality foremost in purchasers' minds is so important that it has spawned a new science-design technology. In today's business environment, the research and development of design ideas has become an essential part of the manufacturing and selling processes.

How many meanings does the author give the term "design"？

A．2

B．3

C．4

D．5

The Role of Religion in Korean Higher Education It is widely believed that religious tradi

The Role of Religion in Korean Higher Education

It is widely believed that religious traditions, such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Christianity, had great effects on the entirety of Korean culture and society. Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism were amalgamated into Korean culture and became, in the main, axes of Korean traditional religious thought, in addition to Korean folk beliefs and shamanism. From an educational point of view, Buddhism and Confucianism had a significant impact on formal and informal elite education in the early Korean states and still remains important. Taoism, on the other hand, has affected internal and external life as opposed to Korean education. Christianity, a newly grafted religion, has also exerted an important influence upon the development of modern higher education. Therefore, the parameters of the study are Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity.

Throughout the history of Korean education, religion and education are inseparable. The examination of the role of religion in Korean higher education gives Western educators historically valuable ideas about religious components in Korean higher education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the role of religion in Korean elite and higher education during the premodern and modern periods. In this study, "premodern era" is defined as the fourth century to the late nineteenth century, and "modern period" from 1880 to 1910.

Numerous studies have shown that religious thought has affected the spiritual and practical worlds in premodern and contemporary Korea. However, several studies examining the influence of religious and philosophical thought on Korean education indicate that three religious traditions — Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity — had an enormous impact on premodern and modern education in Korea.

In terms of Korean educational history and philosophy, there are few studies that examine the religious and philosophical ideas that historically affect Korean higher education. Kim briefly analyzes the basic philosophy and organization of Korean higher education, and Lee reviews religious and philosophical factors influencing the development of Korean higher education in terms of educational administrative theory and practice. Studies concerning the role of religion in premodern elite and modern higher education have yet to be conducted. For this reason, this study will focus on the contribution of Buddhism and Confucianism to premodern elite education in Korea, particularly the interaction between Confucianism and Christianity with modern higher education in Korea and on the role of religion in current Korean higher education.

______ has been believed NOT to have much influence on the Korean higher education.

A．Buddhism

B．Confucianism

C．Taoism

D．Christianity

Development and the Protection of Environment

Modern technology has developed in a manner which often conflicts with the environment. The many industrial pollutants constantly impact the environment in a harmful way. Nevertheless, it is possible and practical to achieve a high level of technology, with- out altering the overall natural environment.

There are two basic methods of conserving the natural environment. One is alternative technology in which techniques (such as windmills and solar energy) must be found for providing power. The other is to try to minimize the, effects of modern technology by the more efficient: use of materials and more, effective pollution control.There comes a point when the quality of life can no longer be, improved because of the high population density and the largely unsuccessful attempts to meet its demands.

Present energy policies of the western world are considering new energy sources to meet the demands of a growing population. The main Sources used have been oil, gas, and coal-which are in limited supply-- and nuclear power, which has problems concerning radioactive waste storage. Wind and solar energy are alternative possibilities, but only solar energy is likely to become a main power source for many countries.

Many of the materials used daily in a technological society are destined to be discarded, Rags, paper, metal, glass, and plastics are all substances that could be recycled or reuseD．Research is being done to determine methods of separating useful products from industrial and domestic waste.

The processing of sewage is also helpful. This is collected in gasholders and burned to produce heat and create electricity. The waste itself is often used for soil enrichment.

第 41 题 Modern technology is harmful to the natural environment mainly because

A．of industrial pollutants

B．it has become too expensive

C．it has become too complicated

D．it consumes all natural resources
