Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse.They see a day in the not too distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. 1       They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future.

The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller,safer and more practical and should not be powered by the gas engine. 2       Unless changes take place in the power system,the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system which seems to hold water.

3      ,a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail which is similar to a hose (橡皮软管，水龙带) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail,the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. 4       The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. 5       It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10 ,000 cars per hour,compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a presentday highway.

   A. There will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic.

   B. The car of the future should be far more pollutionfree than present types.

   C. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warn him of his coming exit.

   D. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.

   E. When the car enters the highway system

   F. All of the experts don't know what will happen in the future.

   G. Other experts however think the car is here to stay.

1.                  2.         3.         4.          5.       

专家们预测，在不久的将来，汽车可能实现自动驾驶。

1. G考查对比关系。本段提到两种对于未来汽车地位的不同看法，所以G项提到"有些专家认为汽车还是会起到重要作用"正确。

2. B考查顺承关系。上句提到未来的汽车不用汽油，所以B项提到不污染环境J艮合理。

3. E考查顺承关系。本段描述自动行驶的汽车在道路上如何操作，所以E项说"当汽车进入道路系统"，后句再提具体的做法。

4. D上句提到中心电脑，所以本句应该谈这个电脑，故D项正确。

5. C考查对比关系。本段描述驾驶者与自动行驶的汽车之间的关系，C项符合本段大意。二、短文填词

April is National Poetry Month in the United States. The Academy of American Poets started the celebration in 1996. The goal was to help more Americans add poetry to their lives.

The academy chose April as National Poetry Month because of a line in a poem. 1       And many Americans think April is the crudest month because they must pay their income taxes by April 15th.

National Poetry Month brings together publishers,booksellers,poetry groups,libraries,schools and poets around the country. 2       In the southern state of Florida,the Miami Poetry Festival tries to bring a poem to everyone of the 2. 5 million people who live in the area. The group has dropped poems out of airplanes,sewn them into clothes,and put them on every bus in the city.

Poetry is very popular in the United States. America even has a chief poet,known as the Poet Laureate. Robert Pinsky was the Poet Laureate from 1997 until 2000. 3       He chose 200 poems by poets from the United States and from many other countries. The poems are included in a book called Americans' Favorite Poems.4       Robert Frost was perhaps the most popular and beloved one of American poets in the twentieth century. 5       He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry four times. He often wrote about the land and people of the northeastern American states. His poems combine images of nature with ideas about how to live one's life.

   A. It was edited by Robert Pinsky and Maggie Dietz.

   B. T. S. Eliot called April "the cruelest month" in his poem The Waste Land.

   C. Thousands of Americans wrote to Mr. Pinsky about their favorite poems.

   D. He started the Favorite Poem Project,to find out which poems Americans liked best.

   E. His work often spoke plainly about the difficult lives of black people living in big cities.

   F. So it is not surprising that six of his poems are included in the book Americans' Favorite Poems.

   G. They encourage people to write,read,and listen to poetry.

Do you find 1       (get) up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness,but Dr. Kleitman has a new 2       (explain) . He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you devote to your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most 3       ( energy) is when your cycle of body temperature is 4        its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it 5        in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: "Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Maybe your're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay 6        late anyway. Counteract (乂于抗) your cycle to some extent 7        habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam (鼓足干劲) and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before 8       (put) your feet on the floor. 9       (avoid) the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks 10       (require) more energy of concentration for your sharper hours.

5       Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea―by taxi!Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers,and these fares all go to the "London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children". At the sea,they are met by the mayor,and a lunch party is also held in honour of the taxi drivers and the children.

Today I had an ordinary but meaningful birthday. In the beginning of the day,my parents had intended to give me anything as my birthday present. Great to my amazement,they presented a watch to me. I knew they want me to value time and possess a meaningful life. At the noon,I had a great lunch with some good friends of me in a restaurant. Later on,I enjoyed several things. They treated me to a comic movie,giving me a great deal of pleasures. Soon after the film,I made my best wish,blew out the candles,and cut the cake happily with my classmates.

When it comes to celebrate birthdays,gifts are not the most important things. What matters a lot to me is the beloved people spend this day together.


I found out one time that doing a favor 1        someone could get you into lots of trouble. When I was having a test in my eighth grade,the girl sitting next to me whispered something,but I didn't understand.     2          I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me 3        I had an extra pen. She showed me that 4         (she) was out of ink. I took an extra one and put it on her desk.

Later,after the test papers had been turned in,the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students 5       (dismiss) . She began to talk to me about how important it was to be responsible for your own acts. She talked about honesty and6       (emphasize) the fact that when people do something 7       (honest) ，they are really cheating themselves. I was completely at a loss,wondering 8          she talked to me about all those things.

Later on,I found out she thought I 9       (cheat) on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl,it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl's test paper. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by10       (lend) her my pen,all she could say was that it seemed very strange to her that I hadn't talked of it before. I am sure she didn't believe in me.
