America is growing older. 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　ways — edu??cation, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.

A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop work??ing isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

It can be learned from the text that the aging of the popula??tion in America ________.

A. has made people feel younger

       B. has changed people’s social position

C. has changed people’s understanding of age

D. has slowed down the country’s social development

The underlined word “one” refers to ________.

A. a society           B. America          C. a place           D. population

“Act your age” means people should ________.

A. be active when they are old

B. do the right thing at the right age

C. show respect to their parents young or old

D. take more physical exercises suitable to their age

f a’ 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _________.

A. normal      B. wonderful         C. unbelievable     D. unreasonable

Many people have been talking about the way in which the world will come to an end in 2012. Everybody wants to find out if December 21, 2012 is the last day of the earth. The rumor has already been spreading for a very long time. The Mayan’s prediction can account for the rumor. According to the rumor, the earth will experience dramatic changes in 2012 and the changes will be disastrous to all of the living creatures on earth. It is widely assumed that a Planet X will return to orbit the solar system. The return of Planet X will have a destructive effect on the solar system as well as on some planets including the Neptune, the Jupiter and the earth. Planet X will cross into their orbits. There’s a possibility that Jupiter will change into a little sun at this time, so folks will be well placed to see two suns in the sky in 2012.
The solar flares (耀斑) that occur in a 11-year cycle will reach their highest point in 2012. The powerful solar flares will affect the magnetic field of the earth and cause disasters. On December 21, 2012, the sun and the earth will line up in the same line at the equator(赤道). The winter solstice(冬至) only occurs once every 25,800 years. The events in the universe are signals that the world will come to an end. As a result of the solar flares, lots of disasters will happen that will destroy the face of the whole earth. Scientists are making the guess primarily based on the Mayan Long Count Calendar.
Many films have been made about the end of the world including End Game by Alex Jones and End Clock: Nostradamus 2012. The former provides insights about the way the world will become one state. After the world government is in place, it’s going to be easy to exterminate 80% of the people in the world. The rest will continue to live with assistance from advanced technology.
No one knows whether the world will end on December 21, 2012: There is no clear answer until the day arrives. Just as the Mayans claim, it will not be the time for the world to end. Instead, it will be the dawn of a fresh start.
【小題1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Information about end-of-the-world predictions.
B．Different opinions about end-of-the-world predictions.
C．Some doubts about end-of-the-world predictions.
D．Destructive effects of the end of the world.
【小題2】Which of the following things will NOT happen if the end of the world really happens?
A．Humans will see two suns at the same time.
B．The earth will look completely different.
C．The earth and the moon will line up in the same line.
D．The solar flares will become stronger than before.
【小題3】The underlined word “exterminate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________”.
A．saveB．killC．helpD．rule
【小題4】What is the author’s attitude to the rumor that the world will end?
A．Optimistic .B．Sad.C．Unconcerned.D．Scared.

Berlin — Germany will allow entry 20,000 foreign high-tech workers, under a plan announced on May 31st. Chancellor(總理) Gerhard Schroreder sees this as a way to keep the country from falling behind in information technology.
The plan for this so-called ‘green cards’, not like the US work permit system, came in answer to industry demands that there were not enough qualified workers to fill positions.
Workers who came to Germany under the new rules, effective from August will be given a five-year work permit after proving they have completed studies in a related field or can promise to at least 100,000 marks (US$48 000).
Family members are also allowed, though they too will receive work permits. “They are strong competition in the rest of the world for these people,” Schroreder said mentioning not only the United States but also British and France. Germany would be making a mistake if it didn’t take part in this competition.
He said employers have already offered 11,000 jobs through a “green card hotline” and some 4,700 applications emailed information requests.
The Chancellor also said the number of workers and the time limits of their stay may be extended, possibly under current German law. Allowing the workers to stay longer means they could finally become citizens. Since the beginning of this year, foreigners who have lived in the country for eight years can ask for being naturalized.
53. From the first paragraph we can get to know that Germany______.
A. is a less-developed country                            B. used to be a developed country
C. is short of high-tech workers                  D. once lost interest in information technology
54. If a high-tech worker wants to work in Germany, he or she can enter Germany______.
A. in June      B. after July    C. before August    D. at any time
55. It is mentioned in the passage that competition in high tech______.
A. is only in America，Britain and France
B. has nothing to do with small countries
C. is weak in Asian countries
D. will affect the future of a country
56. To be naturalized as a German, according to this passage, seems______.
A. difficult    B. easy    C. impossible    D. popular

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A—F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余選項。

A． How can you select your test location（地址）?
B． How many times do you plan to take the test?
C． When do you have to hand in your test scores?
D． What is the most appropriate test date for you?
E． Where do you stand in your high school coursework?
F． What are the factors determining your choice of test time?
【小題1】
The ACT is offered nationally several times a year, between September and June． However, it's not offered at every test center on each test date． If you need to take the ACT on a day other than Saturday because of religious reasons, you’ll want to be especially attentive in selecting a test date because the non-Saturday dates are less frequent and are held at fewer test centers．
【小題2】
One of the first things you should find out, then, is where the ACT is being offered in your area． A quick and easy way to get that information is by accessing ACT's website at www．a(chǎn)ctstudent．org． Or your high school guidance counselor should be able to give you that information． It's also printed in the booklet Registering for the ACT, which is available free from your school counselor． Often, your own or a neighboring school will serve as a test center．
【小題3】
One important decision you need to make is whether you should take the ACT during your junior or your senior year in high school． A number of factors will affect this decision． First, you should find out when colleges you're interested in need to have your test scores． Is there a special program or scholarship for which you want to apply? If so, is there a deadline by which you need to have test scores submitted to the college or agency? Score reports are normally mailed about 3-7 weeks after the test date． Just be sure you're doing everything, including taking the ACT, early enough to keep all your options open．
【小題4】
Another consideration in deciding when to take the ACT is where you stand in your high school coursework． If you're in a college-prep program and taking a lot of courses in English, mathematics, and science in your sophomore and junior years, it may be wise for you to take the ACT in your junior year, while those subjects are still fresh in your memory． If, on the other hand, you're studying material covered on the ACT during your senior year, it's reasonable to assume that your performance on the ACT might be better then．
【小題5】
Perhaps you'll decide to take the ACT more than once, in hopes of improving your score． In that case, it's probably better to take the exam in your junior year to allow time for a second try． There are several advantages to taking the ACT in your junior year: （i） You probably will have completed much of the coursework corresponding to the material covered on the ACT． （ii）You'll have your ACT scores and other information in time to help make decisions about your final year of high school coursework． （iii） You'll have your ACT scores and information from colleges in time to make decisions about visiting campuses or contacting schools．
