问题    Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideas of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history.
   The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are question the assumptions of their elders and disturbing their complacency. Who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilty in their personal lives? Can anything be right with the rat-race? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?
   Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not ’sinful’. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future.
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项 A、the differences between the young and the old are the greatest
B、today the old complain more about the young’s behaviors
C、the young are better educated and know more
D、the old remember many old events
答案A
解析 本题是推理判断题。A项表达的是“老一辈人和年轻人之间的差异是最大的”，结合全文可知，无论从什么地方看，老一辈人和年轻人处理问题的方式亦或是对待事物的看法都是有很大差异的，该项正确。B项表达的是“现在的老一辈人抱怨年轻人的行为”，这个在文章中并未提及。C项表达的是“年轻人受到更好的教育，并且知道得多。”这只是作者在文章中陈述的一个事实，不是推断出来的，本题题干中写的是infer，即从文章中可以推断出来的，故C项不符合。D项表达的是“老一辈人能记住很多过去发生的事情。”这个其实是对第一段句子“Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history．”的错误解读，这句话的实际意思是“上一代人所记住的那些历历在目的事件不过是过去的历史而已。”
