Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old.After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a choc olate milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the f ollowing months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was alwaysattracted, listening to this “time machine”as she shared her wisdom and ex perience with me.Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She tended to be highly motivated,responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spa re time she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She even participated i n some form of athletic activity. She said that extra-curricular activities can form a vital part of her experience, creating unique chances for friendship a nd learning.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A lit tle embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I’m sorr y I’m so nervous.”As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing . There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you’r e nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year, you will turn twenty.If I’m eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn e ighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. It’s non-optional but that doesn’t tak e any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chancein change. In this way the elderly don’t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.”Rose concluded her speech by courag eously singing “The Rose”. She challenged us to study the words of the s ong and lived them out in daily lives.At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can po ssibly be.24.

To show that she always enjoyed her active life.D. To explain why she took on a challenge in college.25. Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because ______.A. she was a great football fanB. she was the smartest studentC. she tried hard to achieve her dreamD. she became more educated than the others26. We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that ______.A. growing older means growing upB. it takes talent and ability to grow upC. receiving high education helps to be courageousD. one grows older at the same time when he grows up27. The passage is intended to ______.A. provide an example for the elderlyB. discuss how to grow up quicklyC. tell the importance of attending collegeD. inspire the readers to live up to livesCAs cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was b uilt at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line（装配线）on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But e ventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some o f the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard,the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represente d what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds.The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot an d a car in every garage.”Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an indust rial power.gkstkThe cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecolo gical disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive（过度的）energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy（经济）is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To explain Americans’love for travelling by car.B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.29. What has the use of cars in America led to?A. Decline of economy.B. Environmental problems.C. A shortage of oil supply.D. A farm-based society.30. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?A. Ambiguous.B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful.D. Tolerant.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
