    The private automobile (私家车) has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.
    For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.
Family life has been affected (影响) in various ways, The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can't keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims (受害者) of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies (悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age, Students have formed a similar organization, SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.
For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.

A. Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities.
B. Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics.
C. Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work.
D. Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.
52. What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving?
A. Patents have paid more attention to their children.
B. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving.
C. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.
D. University students have asked the government to solve the problem.
53. We can infer from the text that _____ in America.
A. it will be more difficult for people to get new cars
B. parents will not allow their children to have their own cars
C. the government will encourage people to use public transportation
D. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems
B
    The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 p.m. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Douglas Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is America's youngest mayor.
    As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered to vote on Sept.22, one day after his l8-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign(战役), which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots(选票).
    To help get his name known, Sessions earned $700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale's lawns.
    Session's month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his neighbours. “They'd look at me, and say ‘How old are you again? How much experience do you have?’ And I say ‘I’m still in high school’” he said．
Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time,” he explained．One day he spent so 1ong out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room.
    Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., I'll be a student．From 3 to 6, I'll be mayor of Hillsdale.” he said．
    “He did a very brave thing that couldn't have been easy for him to do,” said Jack Vetted，a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. “He does care about this town. He's been here all his life.”
Sessions will receive $3,600 a year during his four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not provide the mayor with an office．
54．What is true of Sessions election campaign according to the text?
A．Sessions launched his election campaign on Sept.22.
   B．Sessions worked so hard that he once tried to persuade people in a hospital.
   C．Sessions won the election campaign by a very close outcome(结果).
   D．Sessions felt disappointed when asked about his age and experience.
55．In order to gain more support from the voters, Sessions had to do all these things EXCEPT    ______.
   A．put up posters               B．renew the economy
   C．sell apples                  D．talk to neighbours in kitchens
56．What can we infer from the passage?
   A．Americans mayors usually work from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
   B．In America, young people are encouraged to get involved in politics.
   C．All teenagers are allowed to enter political elections.
   D．American mayors receive a salary of 3,600 a year during their 4-year term.
57．Which of the following would best summarize the text?
   A．Schoolboy becomes America’s youngest mayor.
   B．How to become a teenage mayor.
   C．Hard work is the ticket to success.    D．Never too young to shake the world.
C
    Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only l8 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States.
"After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn't even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks Mr Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months," says Mr. Braun. " Suleyman can 'see' into the heart of the computer.”
Mr. Gokyigfi's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit
The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight," he says.
Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer (合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention," says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss.
Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available (可找到的) 24 hours a day. "We consider him our top problem solver." says Mr. Braun.
58. According to Mr. Braun, Suleyman ________________
    A. can work wonders on computer       B. is the best technician in the world
    C. has done a hard job in three months
D. has united InteliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company
59. The underlined part "is at home with hardware" （paragraph 4 ）means _________
   A. is good at dealing with computer hardware   B. is fond of computer hardware
   C. works with computer hardware at home
   D. feels comfortable when working with computer hardware
60. Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of ______
   A. his blindness  B. his attention on the synthesizer
   C. his long, thin fingers             D. his ability not to be interrupted
61. What does the text mainly tell us?
   A. Computer technicians are more likely to be gifted.
   B. One's disadvantages may prove to be advantages.
   C. The disabled can also play an important role in society.
   D. Top computer scientists have unusual abilities to form ideas of computers.
D
Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
"I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),' said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate (保守的估计)."
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from I20 to 180 years," he said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years."
However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?" said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. "At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."
62. By saying "we are knocking at the door of immortality", Michael Zey means _______
A. they believe that there is no limit of living
B. they are sure to find the truth about long living
C. they have got some ideas about living forever
D. they are able to make people live past the present life span
63. Donald Louria’s attitude towards long living is that _______.
A. people can live from 120 to 180
B. it is still doubtful how long humans can live
C. the human body is designed to last past about 120 years
D. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
64. The underlined "it" ( paragraph 4 ) refers to ________.
A. a great push                B. the idea of living beyond the present life span
C. the idea of living from 200 to 300 years D. the conservative estimate
65. What would be the best title for this text?
A. Living Longer or Not               B. Science, Technology and Long Living
C. No Limit for Human Life            D. Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living

One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said: "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: "He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact." Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
"It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?'. My heart missed a beat."
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
"I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带上手铐).
66. The underlined phrase "be in line for" ( paragraph 1 ) means ______.
A. get                 B. be paid         C. ask for        D. own
67. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because __________.
A. the police called her                 B. he looked very strange
C. he came to the hotel with little luggage
D. he came to the hotel the day before New Year's Eve
68. Vicki’s heart missed a beat because _________.
A. the phone went again               B. she would be famous
C. the policemen had already arrived     D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park
69. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in ________.
A. the passage    B. the man's room   C. Vicki's bedroom   D. the top floor room
70. The whole event probably lasted about _______ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.
A. 6         B. 8             C. 11       D. 14

One possible version:
    Every student will be faced with the question when he passes the college entrance examinations: Should I choose a good major or a good university first? Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them to take their favorite job in future. Those who think differently believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job. In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best。
