　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　More than 20 Chinese and American experts discovered that young people of both countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressure and thus lack of confidence.

　　Wayne Meisel，director of the Campus Outreach Opportunity League of Minnesota University，said that under economic pressure American young people have to work hard and most students have to take part­time work in order to support themselves.

　　In these circumstances，he said，young people lack confidence，which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything.

　　In spite of the different conditions in China，Li Xuequan，director of the higher education section of the AllChina Youth Federation，said Chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation(通货膨胀)and corruption(腐败)．

　　In order to solve these problems，the Chinese and American experts agreed that youth organization should call on the whole of society to create favourable conditions for the healthy growth of young people，as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society.

　　Meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of“challenge to youth”to many young people，urging them to commit themselves to meeting such needs as feeding the hungry，housing the homeless，caring for the lonely and sick，serving the elderly and preserving the environment.

　　The letter says：“Through the service，we touch the lives of others and enrich our own.”

　　【语篇解读】 本文对中美两国的年轻人所面临的同样的问题进行了阐述，并给出了一些相关的建议和解决方法。

　　1．What is the main factor that leads to young people's lack of confidence in both countries?

　　A．Their education.

　　B．Their laziness.

　　C．Economic and social pressure.

　　D．Part­time jobs.

　　解析　细节理解题。由文章的第一句话“...facing the same problems of economic and social pressure and thus lack of confidence.”可知，C项正确。

　　答案　C

　　2．What is the possible situation in the 1960s?

　　A．Young people lacked confidence as well.

　　B．Young people were quite confident in America.

　　C．Young people in America were able to do anything well.

　　D．Young Chinese people were very confident.

　　解析　推理判断题。文章第三段提到“在这些情况下，美国的年轻人缺乏自信，而20世纪60年代的美国年轻人不是这样的”。由此可推知20世纪60年代的美国年轻人很自信。

　　答案　B

　　3．The word“commit”can be replaced by“________.”

　　A．keep

　　B．devote

　　C．help

　　D．express

　　解析　词义猜测题。根据上下文内容可知，此处是说“让他们投身到解决饥饿、住房等一系列事情中”。故选B。

　　答案　B

　　4．The passage is mainly about________in the two countries.

　　A．lack of confidence of the young people

　　B．problems of the young people and ways to solve them

　　C．approaches to touching the lives of others

　　解析　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述中美两国的年轻人所面临的同样的问题，另外，给出了一些相应的解决方法。故选B。

　　答案　B
