24、 and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 30 Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust.
25、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 significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be power
26、ed 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 traffic congestion (拥挤 ). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When
27、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 rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass
28、 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 calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. Th
29、e 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 with the 1,400 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. 31 One significant i
30、mprovement in the future car will probably be_. （ A） its power source （ B） its driving system （ C） its monitoring system （ D） its seating capacity 32 What is the authors main concern? （ A） How to render automobiles pollution-free. （ B） How to make smaller and safer automobiles. （ C） How to solve the
31、 problem of traffic jams. （ D） How to develop an automated subway system. 33 What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system? （ A） A rail. （ B） An engine. （ C） A retractable arm. （ D） A computer controller. 33 Do you know that all human beings have a “comfortable zone“ regulat
32、ing 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 normally stand close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer a
33、s 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, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space sub
34、tly 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 which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue, or mak
35、e 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 “comfortable zone“ for talking, they communicate, a great deal with their handsnot only with ge
36、stures 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 arm in reassurance or stroke a childs head in affection, they readily take someones ar
37、m 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-hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U. S. Many Americans are
38、 simply left-handed and use that hand more.) 34 In terms of bodily distance, North Americans_. （ A） are similar to South Americans （ B） stand farthest apart （ C） feel ill at ease when too close （ D） move nearer during conversations 35 For Asians, the comfortable zone_. （ A） is deliberately determine
39、d （ B） measures 21 inches （ C） varies according to status （ D） implies esteem 36 It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded elevator, a Frenchman would _. （ A） behave in the same way as an American would （ B） make no particular effort to distance himself （ C） be afraid of bodily contact （
40、 D） do his best to leave 37 When Americans tell a joke, they often_. （ A） pat people on the head （ B） give people a hug （ C） dig people in the ribs （ D） touch people on the arm 38 What does the passage mainly concern? （ A） It concerns distance and bodily contact. （ B） It concerns body language. （ C）
41、 It concerns cultural differences between the East and the West. （ D） It concerns hand signals. 38 For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰 ) generation,
42、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 government and society, of course. But it also creates
43、 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 the University of Southern Californias (USC) School of
44、 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 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of
45、 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 a biology major but found she was “really bored with
46、 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.“ 39 “.Old is suddenly in“ (Lines 12, Para. 1) most probably means_. （ A） America has suddenly become a nation of old people （ B） gerontolog
47、y has suddenly become popular （ C） elderly professors are found on American campuses （ D） American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students 40 With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit_. （ A） from the adoption of the “elder law“ （ B） from rendering special services to the eld
48、erly （ C） by enriching their professional knowledge （ D） by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests 41 Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market? （ A） Retirees are more generous in spending money. （ B） They can employ more gerontologists. （ C） The elderly po
49、ssess an enormous purchasing power. （ D） There are more elderly people working than before. 42 Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage? （ A） Retirees who are business-minded. （ B） The volunteer workers in retirement homes. （ C） College graduates with an MBA or law degree. （ D） Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology. 43 It can be seen from the passage that the e
