Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity (成熟 ) or so we hope. We all like to imagine
26、that were getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle (奇迹 ) of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process (过程 ). But growing ol
27、d? Thats a different story. Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented (以年青人为中心 ) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “Youre as young as you feel.“ Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather t
28、han how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart“. Many older Americans find the “golden years“ to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens“ often struggle
29、 just to get by. Retirement (退休 ) at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security (安全 ) benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition (营养 ), medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. In 1987, American sociol
30、ogist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect. Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Few
31、er babies are being horn. And middle-aged “baby boomers“ are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹 ) are “in“. Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers. 60 Growing up is a wonderful thing because_. （ A） people can cel
32、ebrate their birthdays （ B） people can become more mature and wiser （ C） people can receive many presents （ D） people will feel younger at heart 61 We can infer from the second paragraph that_. （ A） young people lack experience and wisdom （ B） American older people often joke about their old age （ C
33、） American culture is very young （ D） different countries have different opinions on old age 62 The underlined sentence in the third paragraph means “_“ （ A） The golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care （ B） The old people in America are leading a hard life with
34、out good nutrition, medical care or housing （ C） The old in America have to retire at the age of 65 （ D） American social security benefits are not good 63 With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we are the leader in the field of teaching foreign languages.

41、in. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. The first is called the “tank test“. A modem airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构 ) of the plane has to be very strong for this re
42、ason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure ( 压力 ) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the p
43、lane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Enginee
44、rs can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger. The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines(发动机 ) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fal
45、l like a stone. It is the pilots job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers. 67 By doing the “tank test“, the engineers can find out_. （ A） the amount of air in the plane （ B） the strength of t
46、he plane structure （ C） the pressure inside and outside the plane （ D） the power of the airplane engines 68 What will happen to the plane under the “tank test“ ? （ A） It will be broken. （ B） It will be made stronger. （ C） It will be filled with water. （ D） It Will be tested by pilots. 69 According t
47、o the text, why are test flights most dangerous? （ A） The plane may explode in the air. （ B） The pilot may lose control of the plane. （ C） The engines may be damaged. （ D） Too much air may get into the plane. 70 What might be the most suitable title for the text? （ A） Two Important Tests on Airplane
48、s （ B） The Importance of Flying Safely （ C） The Danger of Testing Airplanes （ D） How Airplanes Are Made and Tested 71 If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many adv
49、antages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age“ demands people who are flexible (灵活的 ) and who have good communication skills. There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional
