Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents’ home with little or no pay, and give their children to the care of old couple free of charge. Investigations have shown that parents of many couples don’t mind providing meals and caring for their children. However, this practice shouldn’t become an accepted social custom. The old couples’ expense on food has already increased while young couples spend more on clothing and furnishing and less on food. If this trend continues, many young couples might take these privileges for granted and become more dependent. It is not the right for young peoples to make the use of the old couples’ love, not only because our nation is well – known for its special respect paid to the elderly , but also because the young must become independent. What young people should do is to become more considerate towards their old parents. After years of hard work, they are worthy of such consideration. 31. Most married young couples _______________ . A. have not become independent completely B. pay no respect to the elderly C. live in with their parents D. have meals regularly in their parents’ home for they have little or no fee 32.

What troubles young people most is that no one will look after their children except their own parents. C. Old couple should give money to their children instead of providing meals or caring for them. D. It would be natural that if young couples went on depending on their old parents they would have to provide meals and caring for their children when they get married. 35.

Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D: In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around for a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of photovoltaic cells becoming smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than fantasy. A solar car is a vehicle powered by photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into electrical energy. As a source of energy on earth, there is nothing like the sun: in a mere one thousandth of one second (.001), the sun emits enough energy to fulfill our planet's energy needs for the next 5,000 years. It is a staggering fact, and an exciting one. Since the energy from the sun is responsible for renewable resources such as wind, tides, and heat, solar energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but for the entire energy crisis. Despite the appearance that solar energy may be the least feasible among the current crop of alternative fuel propositions, new solar powered devices and more specifically solar powered cars are beginning to be developed. How do Solar. Cars work? The photo-voltaic cells absorb photons from sunlight. This action generates heat, which the cells then convert into electrical energy and stores in an on-board battery. This process of conversion is called the photovoltaic effect. Not surprisingly, such a vehicle has zero emissions, and is very environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, at the moment photovoltaic cells are extremely inefficient, yet as time progresses the efficiency of these cells will grow. This will make solar energy and solar cars the fuel and car of the future-a closer reality. 41.According to the text, _______. A. up to now, we have designed some solar cars B. solar cars have been very .popular for many years C. we have not produced any solar cars yet D. solar cars are not as much appreciated as other kinds of car A solar car is supplied power from _______.

A. the process of operating a solar car B. the process of absorbing photons from the sun C. the developing of solar cars and solar powered devices D. the converting of heat from the sun into electricity VI.
