7、r answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.11 Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-mo-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here t
8、o 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 powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future shou
9、ld 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 the auto enters the highway system, a retractable(可伸缩的) a
10、rm 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 to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all
11、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. The driver will then be free to relax and wak for the buzzer(蜂
12、鸣器) that will warn of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,400 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.11 One significant improvement in the future car may probably be _.（A）its power sou

16、cles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more
17、 or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very
18、 good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels“ himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinkin
19、g in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.16 Some psychologists maintain that thinking is_.（A）not a mental process（B） more of a physical process than a mental action（C） a process that involves our entire bodies（D）a process that involves the muscles as we
20、ll as the brain17 Few people are able to listen to familiar music without_.（A）moving some part of their body（B） stopping what they are doing to listen（C） directing the orchestra playing it（D）wishing that they could conduct music properly18 Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to_.（

27、d food containers. In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite (矾士) ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meet the demand. Poorer ores are abundant in the Unite
28、d States, however, researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these.Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily “paramagnetic“, or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field. This is
29、achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then filtering the ore through steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.26 The passage foc
