Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET._Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disu

25、se. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of travel in the foreseeable future. The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantl

26、y over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban

27、 traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the

28、 rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the cars movements. The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calcula

29、te the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to carry 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared

30、 with the 1,400 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.（分数：6.00）(1).One significant improvement in the future car will probably be_.（分数：2.00）A.its power sourceB.its driving systemC.its monitoring systemD.its seating capacity(2).What is the authors main concern?（分数：2.00）A.How

31、to render automobiles pollution-free.B.How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C.How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D.How to develop an automated subway system.(3).What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?（分数：2.00）A.A rail.B.An engine.C.A retractable arm.D.A com

32、puter controller.Do you know that all human beings have a “comfortable zone“ regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures. Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America

33、normally stand close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, t

34、here is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe. This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent w

35、hich they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue, or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes! Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfortabl

36、e zone“ for talking, they communicate, a great deal with their handsnot only with gestures but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a persons shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an ar

37、m in reassurance or stroke a childs head in affection, they readily take someones arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many peopleespecially those from Asia or the Muslim countriessuch bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left-

38、hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U. S. Many Americans are simply left-handed and use that hand more.)（分数：10.00）(1).In terms of bodily distance, North Americans_.（分数：2.00）A.are similar to South AmericansB.stand farthest apartC.feel ill at ease when too closeD.move nearer du

39、ring conversations(2).For Asians, the comfortable zone_.（分数：2.00）A.is deliberately determinedB.measures 21 inchesC.varies according to statusD.implies esteem(3).It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded elevator, a Frenchman would _.（分数：2.00）A.behave in the same way as an American wouldB

40、make no particular effort to distance himselfC.be afraid of bodily contactD.do his best to leave(4).When Americans tell a joke, they often_.（分数：2.00）A.pat people on the headB.give people a hugC.dig people in the ribsD.touch people on the arm(5).What does the passage mainly concern?（分数：2.00）A.It con

41、cerns distance and bodily contact.B.It concerns body language.C.It concerns cultural differences between the East and the West.D.It concerns hand signals.For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupl

42、ed with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nations elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 40 years. By 2040, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for

43、government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, were going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,“ says Professor Edward Schneider of

44、the University of Southern Californias (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学). Lawyers can specialize in “elder law“, which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 mill

45、ion strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,“ one professor says. Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as

46、a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria“. So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.“（分数：12.00）(1).“.Old is suddenly in“ (Lines 12, Para. 1) most probably means_.（分数：2.00）A

47、America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB.gerontology has suddenly become popularC.elderly professors are found on American campusesD.American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students(2).With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit_.（分数：2.00）A.from the adoption of the “elder law“B.from rendering special services to the elderlyC.by enriching their professional knowledgeD.by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests(
