24、t Yale University, enrollment in basic Chinese in 2005 grew rapidly, and for the first time professors can remember, large numbers of freshmen were arriving with enough knowledge of the Chinese language to start in second- or third-year Chinese language class, rather than basic Chinese.The American
25、interest in China is not just at the university level. In the 2006 school year, high-school students will be offered an Advanced Placement test, which is one of the national exams American students take for university admission, in Chinese. This is the first time Chinese is offered in the Advanced P
26、lacement test, which is usually limited to the most important subjects that high school students take.What is surprising is that earlier last year, an organization that tracks university students surveyed high schools throughout America, asking if they planned to offer the language courses that prep
27、are students for the language Advanced Placement test. They expected that only a hundred high schools, mostly in California, New York, and a few other places with large immigrant populations, would show interest in each of the new language programs. Although that was true for the courses in Italian,
28、 Russian and Japanese, it was not true for the Chinese language course. There were thousands of American high schools that indicated that they planned to build their Chinese programs to levels where students could take the Advanced Placement exam for Chinese language. The demand for courses in Chine
29、se is rising so rapidly that it is rapidly overtaking all other foreign languages except Spanish.41. According to the passage many freshmen at Yale University today .A. know enough basic ChineseB. neednt learn Chinese any moreC. take courses in the Chinese languageD. go to university to study Chines
30、e42. For university entrance, the American high-school students .A. have to learn Chinese B. learn more than one foreign language.C. take the Advanced Placement Test D. used to have a test in Chinese43. We can learn from the passage that .A. Chinese will overtake all foreign languages in American hi
31、gh schoolsB. Americans will know more about China and its peopleC. the U.S. government pays much attention to language studiesD. Chinese may take the place of English in American universitiesBWhy not an island get-away?NewfoundlandPriceFrom 1080 per person in June 2005We went with:Frontier Canada fr
32、ontier-travel. Co. uk/CanadaAbout this tripJohn Cabot had set sail looking for a new trade route for Asia, when he landed in Cape Bonavista. Clearly he felt this barren desolate landscape could provide this, so he claimed it for its potential and so began the rise of the British Empire.Newfoundland
33、is the most easterly point in North America and was Britains first overseas colony until 1949, when it became part of Canada. Its roughly the size of England and Craigs journey by camper van or RV (recreational vehicle) took in just a small part of the island called the Bonavista Peninsula.First sto
34、p was the tiny fishing port of Keels to stock up for the journey ahead. Theres a long standing love affair between Newfoundlanders and cod. The seas off the Newfoundland coast were once the richest cod fishing grounds in the world, attracting fishermen from all over Europe. Many settled, establishin
35、g these coastal villages known locally as outports.An hours drive down the coast is the town of Bonavista, where Craig met up with retired fisherman, Wilson Hayward. He told Craig how the landscape used to lie, and described the peculiarities of the language and accents in the area. Theres a differe
36、nt language in every bay.44The title “Why not an island get-away?” _.A. invites people to take a holiday trip to NewfoundlandB. informs people that the island is moving away from where it used to beC. tells people that they can buy the island at the price of 1080.D. asks people to visit the website
37、frontier-travel. co.uk/Canada45From the context we can conclude that “Frontier Canada” is the name of _.A. a tourist guideB. a kind of fish found around the islandC. a tourist agencyD. someone who has already booked the trip46When John Cabot first discovered Cape Bonavista he was actually on a voyag
38、e to find _.A. North America B. AsiaC. South America D. the British Empire47According to the passage Newfoundland is now part of _.A. UK B. Canada C. Europe D. Bonavista48In the past the Newfoundlanders mainly lived by _.A. teaching languages B. making camper vansC. looking after retired fishermen D
39、. fishing codCAs motorways become more and more blocked up with traffic, a new generation on flying cars will be needed to ferry people along skyways. That is the conclusion of engineers from the US space agency and aeronautical firms, who envision future commuters traveling by “skycar”.These could
40、look much like the concept skycar shown in the picture, designed by Boeing research and development. However, such vehicles could be some 25 years from appearing on the market. Efforts to build flying vehicles in the past have not been very successful. Such vehicles would not only be expensive and r
41、equire the skills of a trained pilot to fly, but there are significant engineering challenges involved in developing them. “When you try to combine them you get the worst of both worlds: a very heavy, slow, expensive vehicle thats hard to use,” said Mark Moore, head of the personal air vehicle(PAV)
42、division of the vehicle systems program at Nasas Langley Research Center in Hampton, US. But Boeing is also considering how to police the airways-and prevent total pandemonium(吵杂狂乱的喧闹)-if thousands of flying cars enter the skies.“The neat, gee-whiz part is thinking about what the vehicle itself woul
43、d look like,” said Dick Paul, a vice president with Phantom Works, Boeings research and development arm. “But were trying to think through all the consequences of what it would take to deploy(散开) a fleet of these.”Past proposals to solve this problem have included artificial intelligence systems to
44、prevent collisions between air traffic. Nasa is working on flying vehicles with the initial goal of transforming small plane travel. Small planes are generally costly, loud, and require months of training and lots of money to operate, making flying to work impractical for most people. But within fiv
45、e years, Nasa researchers hope to develop technology for a small plane that can fly out of regional airports, costs less than $100,000(55,725), is as quiet as a motorcycle and as simple to operate as a car.Although it would not have any road-driving capabilities, it would bring this form of travel w
46、ithin the grasp of a wider section of people. The new technology would automate many of the pilots functions. This Small Aircraft Transportation System(Sats) would divert pressure away from the “hub-and-spoke(中心辐射型)” model of air travel. Hub-and-spoke refers to the typically US model of passengers b
47、eing processed through large “hub” airports and then on to secondary flights to “spoke” airports near their final destinations.49. The best title for this text would be .A. Developing Skycars B. The Traffic Jams in the SkyC. How to Guide Flying Cars in the Sky D. What Flying Cars Will Look Like50. The underlined word “envision” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “ ”.A.
