You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer SheetQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. Theysee a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed torust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car willremain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It shouldbecome smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by thegasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than presenttypes.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem inurban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automatedhighway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will dropfrom the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subwaytrains 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 monitorall of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into thesystem. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all theway to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.51. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be________.A) its power source C) its monitoring systemB) its driving system D) its seating capacity52.

What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A) Enthusiastic.B) Pessimistic C) Optimistic. D) Cautious.Passage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.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, a longer life span means that the nation's elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 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 career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. "In addition to the doctors, we're going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers," says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California's (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 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-year-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."56. "… Old is suddenly in" (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means"______".A. America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB. gerontology has suddenly become popularC. more elderly professors are found on American campusesD. American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students57. With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit ______.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 interests58. 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 possess an enormous purchasing power.D. There are more elderly people working than before.59. 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.60. It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America's elderly population ________.A. will provide good job opportunities in many areasB. will impose an unbearable burden on societyC. may lead to nursing home abuse and age discriminationD. will create new fields of study in universitiesDirections: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write acomposition on the topic: Write down your composition on the Answer Sheet.Some people prefer to see a movie in the cinema, and others like to watch TV at home.There is a heated discussion among your classmates over the issue.
