问题     Old people are always saying that the young people are not (31) they were. The same comment is made (32) generation to generation and it is always (33). It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy (34) freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so (35) on their parents. Events which the old generation remember vividly are (36) more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is (37) from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.
    The old always assume that they know best for the simple (38) that they have been (39) a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the (40) are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their elders and disturbing (41) complacency.
They take leave to (42) that the older generation has created the best of all possible worlds. What they reject more than anything (43) conformity. Office, hours, for instance, and nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn’t people work best (44) they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And what (45) the clothing? Who said that all the men in the world should (46) drab grey suits? If we turn our minds to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics (47) by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to (48) their problems? Why are they are so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal lives, so obsessed (49) mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more material possessions? Can anything be right with the rat-race? Haven’t the old lost touch with all (50) is important in life?
选项
答案what
解析 考查从句连接词。由句子结构可知，they were是一个从句，作空格前are的表语，而填入的连接词在从句中又作were的表语。有这两种功能的从句连接词用what。注意有些考生填入了who，但who一般用作主语，且意思上也不合逻辑。
