19.In many parts of the world,cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them.So the idea that in 20years'time,no one will own cars may be hard to believe.But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously,not only by government but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program.The team there believes that by 2020all cars will be computerized,which will mean much saving,no accidents and better use of roads.The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself,and it will not be owned by one individual.Instead,we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr.David Davis,who leads the research team,these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture,which has blocked up our cities,polluted our air,and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says,cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another.The car will automatically speed up,or slow down,to match the speed of the car in front.Computers are much safer drivers than people,so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010,Dr.David Davis believes,car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road,whatever the weather conditions,by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car's windscreen.And by 2020,cars will travel in convoy,linked to each other electronically.Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form"road-trains"."The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount."saysDavis."But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount,and so produce about ten percent of the pollution."

7.Busy as I am every day,I always open my computer and check my email.Most of the time I am simply doing finger exercises,another form of piano practice without beautiful tones.Sometimes,however,I receive a gift,reminding me of the gifts in my life.The following passage is one of those gifts.
Peter Jones is a 92-year-old,short,calm and proud man.Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o'clock,with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved even though he is unable to see anything.He would move to a nursing home today.His wife of 70 years old has recently passed away,making the move necessary.
After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home,he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.As he moved his walking stick skillfully to the elevator,the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room."I love it,"he stated with enthusiasm."Mr.Jones,you haven't been the room,"said the nurse.
"That doesn't have anything to do with it,"he replied."Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged…it's how I arrange my mind.I have already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.I have a choice:I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work,or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do."
Each day is a gift,and as long as we are alive.We'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories we've stored just as Mr.Jones does.

46.What do we know about Mr.Jones?A
A.He is a blind but very neat.

C.He likes playing the piano.
D.His room in the nursing home is big.
47.How did Mr.Jones feel about his room in the nursing home?D

49.What would be the best title for the text?A
