Alia Sabur, from North, NY, US, went to college at the age of 10. And by at the age of 14, Sabur was earning a bachelor of science degree in applied mathematics from stony Brook University – the youngest female in US history to do so. Her education continued at Drexel University, where she earned an MS and a Phd.(博士學(xué)位) in materials science and engineering.

With an unlimited future ahead of her, Sabur directed her first career choice to teaching. “I really enjoy teaching, ” she said. She was three days short of her 19th birthday in February, 2008, when she was hired to become a professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea. This distinction(差異) made her the youngest college professor in history, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, beating the previous record held by Colin Maclaurin, a student of physicist Isaac Newton, in 1717.

Although she doesn’t start until next month, Sabur has taken up teaching math and physics courses at Southern University in New Orleans. Sabur is old enough to teach, but not to join her fellow professors in a bar after work. In South Korea, where the drinking age is 20, she might have more luck. In traditional Korean culture, children are considered to be 1 year old when they are born, and add a year to their age every New Year instead of their actual birthday, so in Korea Sabur is considered 20.

On top of her unprecedented(空前的) academic achievements, Sabur has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do(跆拳道). She is also a talented clarinet(豎笛) player who has performed with musicians like Lang Lang and Smash Mouth. So is there anything Sabur can’t do?

60.We learn from the passage that Sabur is _________.

A. the world’s youngest female teacher

B. Drexel University’s youngest student

C. the world’s youngest college professor

D. American’s youngest bachelor of science

61.What does the author mean by saying “she might have more luck” in Paragraph 3?

A. Sabur is lucky to be hired by Konkuk University.

B. Sabur will be permitted to drink in Korean bars.

C. Sabur would be allowed to attend parties in South Korea.

D. Sabur is old enough to teach at Konkuk University.

62.What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph?

A. Sabur has her own way of relaxing.                   B. Sabur spends little time on her studies.

C. Sabur is talented in a lot of ways.                  D. Sabur likes music more than sports.

63.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A. Sabur went to college when she was ten years old

B. by aged 14, Sabur got a bachelor of science degree

C. the drinking age in South Korea is twenty years old

D. Alia Sabur was born in February 1989 in the United States

（重慶市西南師大附中2010屆高三第七次月考D篇）

In the past, young people in Japan were expected to take on responsibilities to support their parents and grandparents. Now they expect to be supported well into young adulthood. The “new breed”, born since the 1960s, have never known anything but richness. Youth are seen as resistant to entering society as mature adults, to becoming social citizens. Once the great objective of reconstruction after the Second World War was accomplished, a new generation lost the motivating power that had united the nation together.

Japan’s birth rate has been falling rapidly, partly because of economic decline, and the job and financial insecurity that it has caused. In 1999, the figure was 1.38 children per woman, the lowest ever recorded. At the same time, youth crime, although still especially low by western standards, rose to its highest level since record – keeping began 32 years ago. Likewise, the proportion of students dropping out before graduating, at 2.5% also very low by western standards, has never the less been rising.

Entrepreneurial(企業(yè)家的) role models are few and far between. Bill Gates is often mentioned, but a foreign model can only have so much influence. The problem is that Japanese culture discourages people from revealing details of personal life, including such difficult or painful experience as starting a company. In the past, successful companies such as Honda or Hitachi provided role models of a sort. But today they have been faded by the downturn, and few others have risen to take their place.

By the same reason, young people often feel isolated from their fathers, who worked too hard at their jobs to establish much of a relationship with their children. “The one thing they’re sure of is that they don’t want to be like their fathers. And the girls don’t want to be with boys who are like their fathers, so the boys are sure not to be,” says Professor Morishima.

68.According to the passage, young people were formerly expected to _________.

A. enter society before adulthood   B. hold together

C. work hard and support their families                 D. study hard and find a good job

69.The author takes the two examples of the youth crime and students’ drop – out rates to show __________.

A. Japanese youth are overburdened

B. the educational system in Japan is not working

C. public security and order in Japan are bad

D. young people in Japan have lower standards than previously

70.Today, entrepreneurial models are rarely found in Japan because _________.

A. Japanese culture discourages people talking about how to start a company

B. western models are considered to be better

C. people lack experience in starting up complaints

D. the “new breed” don’t want to work hard

71.The passage mainly discusses _________.

A. the decline of the Japanese economy

B. the great change of the ethnical and value concept of youth in Japan.

C. the existence of generation gap between young people and their parents

D. the increase in birth rates in Japan.
