They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, howev
27、er, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban 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
28、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 main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the hi
29、ghway 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. 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
30、. 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 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 f
31、ree to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) 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.61. One significant improvement in the f
32、uture car will probably be _.A.its power sourceB.its driving systemC.its monitoring systemD.its seating capacity62. What is the authors main concern?A.How to render automobiles pollution-free.B.How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C.How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D.How to develop an a
33、utomated subway system.63. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A.A rail.B.An engine.C.A retractable arm.D.A computer controller.64. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _.A.keep in the right laneB.wait to arrive at his destinationC.keep in
34、constant touch with the computer centerD.inform the system of his destination by phone65. What is the authors attitude toward the future of autos?A.Enthusiastic.B.Pessimistic.C.Optimistic.D.Cautious.耶鲁教育 http:/www.yeluedu.org 5Passage 2Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like a
35、nimals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across
36、 the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow
37、 strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal
38、(残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the foxs sm
39、ell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament
40、, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes _.A.for recreationB.in the intere
41、sts of the farmersC.to limit the fox populationD.to show off their wealth67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A.It involves the use of a deadly poison.B.It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C.The hunters have set rules to follow.D.The hunters have to go through strict training.68. Fo
42、x hunting opponents often interfere in the game _.A.by resorting to violenceB.by confusing the fox huntersC.by taking legal actionD.by demonstrating on the scene69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to _.A.prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB.forbid hunting foxes with dogsC.stop hunt
43、ing wild animals in the countrysideD.prevent large-scale fox hunting70. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.killing foxes with poison is illegalB.limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC.hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent耶鲁教育 http:/www.yeluedu.org 6D.fox-hunting ofte
44、n leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage 3For 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 nat
45、ions 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
46、 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 lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern Californias (USC.School of Gerontology (老年学).Lawyers can special
47、ize 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.” S
