Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many wayseducation , medicine. and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made US a very different societyone in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A persons age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. Theres no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. It doesnt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. Many people say. “I'm much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “act your age” any more. Weve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.46. It can be learnt from the passage that the aging of the population in America _.A. has made people feel younger B. has changed peoples social positionC. has changed peoples understanding of age D. has slowed down the countrys social development47. “act your age” means people should_.A. be active when they are old B. do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect for their parents D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age48. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the passage would most probably consider it _. A. normal B. wonderful C. unbelievable D. unreasonable BWe spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. Our car looked like a flower shop inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and then my wife noticed the cupboard.It was tall and narrow, and it stood outside a furniture shop. “Buy it,” she said at once “ Well carry it home on the roof-rack (行李架). Ive always wanted one like that.” What could I do? Ten minutes later I was $20 poorer, and the cupboard was tied on to the roof rack. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said,” there is a line of car behind. Why dont they overtake(超车)，I wonder?”In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me. I was puzzled. “ Thanks, officer,” I said. “Youve been very kind. I live just down the road.”He was staring at our load: first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “ Well, well,” he said, laughing, “ Its a cupboard youve got here! We thought it waser, something else.”My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “ yes, its a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.49. The writer writes the story in order to _.A. praise the police officer B. thank the other driversC. show people are kind to each other D. tell us their funny experience 50. The driver behind didnt overtake because_A. they wanted to show their special kindness.B. they were afraid the cupboard would fall downC. they were admiring the flowers in the writers car.D. they wondered what was inside the cupboard.51.The writers wife began to laugh because_.A. she thought the police officers were foolish.B. she was interested in what the police officer said.C. she was glad they were treated kindlyD. she had realized the truth CThe cost of medical care in the United States is very high. The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.A visit to a doctors office costs from fifteen to fifty dollars. It is almost impossible for people to pay for medical care they need. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. Most doctors, however, disagree. They say that they were required to study medicine for a long time. Tuition(学费) for many years of medical education costs lots of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition. Because this money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need to receive a lot of money for their work. So they charge people high prices for medical care.Therefore, it is possible that the high cost of medical care in America is unnecessary. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical schools that are free or have low tuition.52.Some people dont have their medical care they need because _.A. they are not willing to pay the doctors high tuitionB. they dont think it necessary to have medical careC. they dont want to spend much money on itD. they havent got enough money to pay for it53.The reason for the high medical cost mentioned in the article is _.A. tuition in medical schools is high B. the price of medicine is highC. doctors are overpaid D. doctors must pay money to banks54. One way to lower the cost of medical care would be _.A. not to see a doctor B. to pay doctors less moneyC. to let medical students have free or partly free medical educationD. to forbid doctors to ask their patients for too much money55. The main idea of the article is that_.A. a visit to a doctors office may cost as much 15dollars to 50 dollars in USB. the cost of medical care is the main reason for the high costs in USC. medical care in the United States costs a lot of money because doctors want to be richD. the high cost of tuition in medical schools is one reason for the high cost of medical care in America56. The cost of medical care in the United States is very high. What does the writer think about it ?A. He agrees that doctors are overpaidB. He thinks it a big problem and suggests a way to settle itC. He doesnt think medical students should borrow money from banksD. He doesnt think it necessary for medical students to study for a long time DIn America, seldom do you go anywhere without hearing a principle called WIN-WINIt sounds strange to me at first because throughout my childhood, I have always been taught to try everything possible to win an upper-hand, rather than to help other people winHowever, as time goes by, I have gradually comprehended the essence（真谛）of WIN-WIN principle: it is the attitude of seeking mutual benefitWhen I was little, I used to play Chinese checkers（跳棋）which include two basic tactics（战术）: One is to create paths for yourself; the other is to block the passages of your rival(对手)Players may apply these two totally different approaches in the game, but the key for the player to win is to continuously create paths for him even if his opponent may take advantage of itFinally he can always reach the destination a few steps ahead of the other playerMeanwhile, some player may take another approach to prevent his opponent from moving forward at all costsBy this he may get a short-term benefit, but couldnt fix attention on the final goal, thus he would never truly develop furtherIn the 1990s, a strategy called WIN-WIN became widespread in the western worldIts core is to achieve your objective while giving other people some b
