Answer 1

.1. 解析：選B。由上文中的elder可知。

2. 解析：選B。分析上文可知，表示因果關(guān)系。年長者直接地或間接地為我們做出了很多，所以自然年輕人是要感激年長者的。owe sth. to sb.把……歸功給某人。

3. 解析：選A。后文提到的都是表示尊敬的行為。故選A。

4. 解析：選A。greeting them with a smile以微笑的形式問候。根據(jù)上下文判斷，微笑是表示尊敬的一種行為方式，多用在問候時。

5. 解析：選A。由下文“our own love and gratitude to them”可知，選express。表達(dá)我們的尊敬和愛戴。

6. 解析：選C。通過語境可以判斷出此句與前文是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，所以用besides。

7. 解析：選B。go through經(jīng)歷，經(jīng)受。指人們要經(jīng)歷的歲月。

8. 解析：選B。it is likely that...意為“很可能……”。

9. 解析：選D。由后文的differences可知，年輕人和年長者之間是有分歧的。

10. 解析：選C。人們不同的思想才能使社會前進(jìn)。

11. 解析：選A。由前文“elders have also been through all the years”說明年長者們經(jīng)歷風(fēng)雨，歷盡滄桑。

12. 解析：選A。外來的東西要影響人們思想，在這其中文化的影響是主要的內(nèi)容。

13. 解析：選A。年輕人和年長者表達(dá)個人觀點(diǎn)時，表現(xiàn)尊敬的方式就是要輕聲提問或者表述。

14. 解析：選B。年輕人有不同觀點(diǎn)表述時，禮貌的行為是不要大聲說話。raise one's voices提高嗓門。

15. 解析：選C。根據(jù)上文“If there were no space on sofas or chairs”可知，在這種條件下，年輕人禮貌的行為就是讓座給老人。

16. 解析：選A。 后文說到“give up their places to older people”，這是年輕人被期望做到的。be expected to do 被指望做……。

17. 解析：選B。由文意可知，“who has more rights”這是爭論的話題，所以選question。

18. 解析：選D。or tolerate unpleasantness和空格處表示的是同樣概念，因此與bear搭配的名詞應(yīng)是discomfort。

19. 解析：選D。 根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，those指的就是弱勢群體，所以應(yīng)選slight。

20. 解析：選A。由常識可知，先要意識到之后才能響應(yīng)。become aware that...意為“開始意識到……”。
