19、s 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.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 undoubted
20、ly change significantly 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 m
21、ain problem in urban 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.
22、Once attached to the 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 com
23、puter will calculate 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
24、per hour, compared with the 1,400 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. 21 One significant improvement in the future car will probably be_. （ A） its power source （ B） its driving system （ C） its monitoring system （ D） its seating capacity 22 What is the authors main concern

This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures. Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and
27、 many of those from South America 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 apar
28、t.In much of Asia and Africa, there 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 peopl
29、e sit together, the extent which 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
30、relatively wide “comfortable zone“ for talking, they communicate, a great deal with their hands not 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
31、funny story; they pat an arm 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 people especially those from Asia or the Muslim countries such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadv
32、ertently done with the left-hand.(The left hand carries no special significance in the U.S.Many Americans are simply left-handed and use that hand more.) 24 In terms of bodily distance, North Americans_. （ A） are similar to South Americans （ B） stand farthest apart （ C） feel ill at ease when too clo
33、se （ D） move nearer during conversations 25 For Asians,the comfortable zone_. （ A） is deliberately determined （ B） measures 21 inches （ C） varies according to status （ D） implies esteem 26 It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded elevator, a Frenchman would （ A） behave in the same way a

36、bvious:the graying of America means jobs.Coupled 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
37、1995.The change poses profound questions for 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 la
38、wyers,“ says Professor Edward Schneider of 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 el
39、der market because the baby boomers, 74 million 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-ye
40、ar-old senior at USC.She began college as 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.“ 29 “Old is suddenly in“ (Lines 12,Para.1) most
41、 probably means_. （ A） America has suddenly become a nation of old people （ B） gerontology has suddenly become popular （ C） elderly professors are found on American campuses （ D） American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students 30 With the aging of America,lawyers can benefit_. （
42、 A） from the adoption of the “elder law“ （ B） from rendering special services to the elderly （ C） by enriching their professional knowledge （ D） by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests 31 Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market? （ A） Retirees are more g
43、enerous in spending money. （ B） They can employ more gerontologists. （ C） The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power. （ D） There are more elderly people working than before. 32 Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage? （ A） Retirees who are business-minded. （ B） The v
44、olunteer workers in retirement homes. （ C） College graduates with an MBA or law degree. （ D） Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology. 33 It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of Americas elderly population （ A） will provide good job opportunities in many areas （ B） will impos
45、e an unbearable burden on society （ C） may lead to nursing home abuse and age discrimination （ D） will create new fields of study in universities 34 In the fifth sentence of the first paragraph, the word “pose“ can be best replaced by （ A） bring about （ B） result （ C） lead to （ D） offer 34 The decli
46、ne in moral standards which has long concerned social analysts has at last captured the attention of average Americans.And Jean Bethke Elshtain,for one, is glad. The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nations moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学 ) professor at
47、the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it. But the challenge is not to be underestimated.Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles.“The thought that Im in it for me has become deeply rooted in the national consciousn
48、ess,“ Ms.Elshtain says. Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says.With todays greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self. In a
49、 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U.S.And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that:Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1940s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers. The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌 ) for some nonexistent “golden age“, Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的 ) longing for a time that denied opportu
