No, the village is not dead. There is m
19、ore life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that “village life” is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline about a hundred years ago. When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of work, and home was where wor
20、k was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the present century. It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant
21、 housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp oil and coal. Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed（展现） to villagers. The long-established order of societ
22、y was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare（福利） for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village
23、 life.” It is just life, and a better life. Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. 0bviously these childr
24、en are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street. 72 By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that . A those young people who talk of the village a
25、s being “dead” are wrong B the two statements are against each other C “village life” today is rather uninteresting D “village life” today is no longer like what it used to be 73 As is suggested in paragraph 2, villages in the past . A lived a simpler life than villagers today B knew fewer people th
26、an villagers today C found it difficult to enjoy themselves D like to wash themselves with cold water 74 The expression “there is no point whatever in talking about” in paragraph 3 means that . A there is no end to the talking about B it is harmful to talk about C it is not meaningless to talk about
27、 D there is no reason for talking about 75 What does the writer think of the “village life today” . A Dead. B Worse C Better. D Unclear. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 C A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: leisure（闲暇） . As part of its attempt to increase imports, the government is
28、 trying to get people to work less and spend more. The workers are disgusted. The figures support the western prejudice（偏见） that the Japanese are all work and no play. Trying to force workers away from their desks and machines, the government said last April that the country should cut down from its
29、 2,100 hours average work year to 1,899 hours and a five-day week by 1992. Beginning in February, banks and stock markets will be closed on Saturdays, staff of civil service will be forced out of their offices two Saturdays a month. The government hopes that others will follow that practice. But som
30、e persuasion will be needed. Small companies are very angry about it and they fear competitors may not cut hours. The unions are no happier: they have even advertised in newspapers arguing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcing leisure upon them. They say that shorter hours are a di
31、sguised（隐性的） pay cut. The industrialists, who have no objection to the governments plans, admit that shorter hours will help them cut costs. Younger Japanese who are supposed to be acting against their hard-working parents, show no sign of wanting time off, either. But unlike older workers, they do
32、spend money in their spare time. Not content with watching television, they dance, dress up, sit in cafes, go to pop concerts and generally drive the leisure-industry boom. Now that they know how to consume, maybe the West can teach them to relax and enjoy themselves, too. 68 The purpose of getting
33、the Japanese to have more spare time is that . A the government wants to show more concern for the health of the people B the government needs to get more goods from abroad C the Japanese have been working too hard D the Japanese hope to change the western prejudice 69 The group of people who welcom
34、e the shorter-hour system in Japan is . A the small companies B the industrialists C the unions D the younger generation 70 The unions think that . A the shorter hours they work, the higher pay the can get B the more they work, the less leisure they can enjoy C the shorter hours they work, the less
35、pay they can have D the greater pressure the government is forcing on them, the less happy they can be 71 The best title for this passage can be . A Oh no! Not Saturday Again! B Leisure: the Greatest Threat! C Enjoy While You are Young! D Less Work and More Play! 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4

40、d the continents are like separate pieces . When they move , one might ride up over the other one .
