Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same【C1】________is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has【C2】________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【C3】________on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly【C4】________the ideals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are【C5】________past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one that【C6】________it. Today the difference is very【C7】________indeed.
The old always assume that they know best for the simple【C8】________that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their【C9】________are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely【C10】________the young are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their elders and【C11】________their complacency. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than【C12】________slavery. Wouldn’t people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? Who said that all the men in the world should wear dull grey suits and convict haircuts? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so【C13】________and guilt-ridden in their personal lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more【C14】________possessions? These are not questions the older generation can【C15】________lightly. Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for【C16】________. Today, the situation might be【C17】________. The old—if they are【C18】________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". Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all【C19】________of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and enjoy your leisure; to【C20】________restricting inhibitions.
【C18】
选项
A、reluctant
B、annoyed
C、eager
D、prepared
答案
D
解析
本句说现在的老人家可以向年轻人学一些东西,加入了一个插入语“如果他们……承认的话”。应选D项prepared“愿意地”。此处是微妙地表达老人家不服输,其实不太愿意承认可以向年轻人学些东西。A项reluctant“不情愿地”,B项annoyed“气恼的”,如果老人家不愿意承认,甚至感到气恼,就不会出现老人家可以向年轻人学习的情形了。C项eager“渴望的”。根据上文,老人家的价值观受到年轻人的挑战,自满的心态遭到搅乱,因此老人家不可能渴望承认自己可以向年轻人学习一些东西。
