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 _11_ 65. the aging of the population will affect american society in many ways - education, medicine, _12_ business. quietly, the graying of america has made us a very different society - one in which people have a quite different idea of _13_ kind of behavior is suitable at various ages. a persons age no longer tells you anything about his / her position, _14_ (marry) or health. theres no longer a particular year _15_ one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. the social clock that _16_ (keep) us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isnt as strong as _17_ used to be. it doesnt surprise us to hear of a 25-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or _18_ 80-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. public ideas are changing. many people say, “i am much _19_ (young) than my mother - or my father - was at my age.” no one says “act your age” any more. weve stopped _20_ (look) with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways. 三、完形填空

the first robotic fly. the mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said robert wood, the harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. a few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “the added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.they engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “the seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said wood. the flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.while this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “you can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “so there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”36. the robotic fly project has been conducted _.a. just by accidentb. within a decadec. just by a professord. for more than ten years37. the difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that _.a. they had no model in their mindb. they did not have sufficient timec. they had no ready-made componentsd. they could not assemble the components38. it can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _.a. consists of a flight device and a control systemb. can just fly in limited areas at the present timec. can collect information from many sourcesd. has been put into wide application39. which of the following can be learned from the passage?a. the robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.b. animals are not allowed in biological experiments.c. there used to be few ways to study how insects fly.d. woods design can replace animals in some experiments.40. which of the following might be the best title of the passage?a. father of robotic flyb. inspiration from engineering sciencec. robotic fly imitates real life insectd. harvard breaks through in insect studybhow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environmentsmostly for entertainment purposesis fair and respectful?zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. how ever, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range. the animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs.the animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. this results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. a worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. in fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.41. how would the author describe the animals life in zoos?a. dangerous.b. unhappy.c. natural. d. easy.42. in the state of zoochosis, animals _.a. remain in cagesb. behave strangelyc. attack other animalsd. enjoy moving around43. what does the author try to argue in the passage?a. zoos are not worth the public support.b. zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.c. zoos should treat animals as human beings.d. zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.44. the author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _.a. discussing the advantages of natural habitats b. using evidence he has collected at zoosc. questioning the way animals are protectedd. pointing out the faults in what zoos do45. although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _.a. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesb. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesc. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosd. its acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatscdo you know what fear and faith have in common? fear believes in a negative future. faith believes in a positive future. both believe in something that has not yet happened. so i ask you, if neither the positive nor negative future has happened yet then why not choose to believe in the positive future?i believe during these challenging times we have a choice between two roads: the positive road and the negative road. and our bus cant be on two roads at the same time. so we have to make a choice and this choice determines our belief about the future and the attitude and actions we bring to the present.im not saying we shouldnt have any fear. there are times when fear is a gift. a healthy dose(剂量) of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future. it moves us to smell the cheese and expect change. when used wisely it allows us to manage risk and make better decisions. some fear is good.however, what i have observed lately is a supersized, huge dose of fear that is spreading the hearts and minds of far too many people. this oversized fear is causing leaders and their organizations to either act unreasonably or to not act at all. they are either hurrying in a million different directions because of fear. in both cases, fear is leading them to take the negative road to failure.the answer is the positive road paved with faith and a belief that your best days are not behind you but ahead of you. with this belief you make the right choices and actions today that will create your positive future tomorrow. you stay calm, focused and committed to your purpose. you look for ways to save money and cut costs without making unreasonable fear-based decisions that sacrifice your future success. you identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus on solutions instead of problems.your faith and belief in a positive future leads to powerful actions today. the future has not happened yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act. fear or faith. the choice is yours.46. according to the passage, we can know that _.a. both fear and faith trust something in the future b. fear and faith have nothing in commonc. neither negative nor positive future will happend. people usually choose to believe in the positive future47. what does the writer mean by saying “our bus cant be on two roads”?a. we usually choose the negative road.b. we should choose the positive road.c. our belief about the future depends on our choice.d. we must choose either a positive or negative road. 48. which of the following about “fear” is true?a. we should have fear because it is a gift. b. fear can bring cheese and risk to people.c. reasonable fear helps to plan for future. d. leaders usually have oversized fear.49. if we have faith in future, we will _.a. take powerful actions todayb. be committed to saving moneyc. stay away from any challengesd. have the best days ahead of us50. what does the writer intend to tell us in the passage?a. fear is closely related to faith. b. we should have faith in a positive future.c. life is full of fear and faith.d. wrong decisions sacrifice our future success.dwhen i was growing up, i had an old neighbor named doctor gibbs. he didnt look like any doctor id ever known. he never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.when doctor gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. he had some interesting theories about planting trees. he believed in the principle: no pain, no gain. he hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.once i asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. he said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. he talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.so, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. i asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention.doctor gibbs died a couple of years after i left home. every now and then, i walked by his house and looked at the trees that id watched him plant some 25 years ago. they were tall and strong.i planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. adversity seemed to benefit doctor gibbs trees in ways comfort and ease never could.every night before i go to bed, i check on my two sons. i often pray that their lives will be easy. but lately ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. i know my children are going to encounter hardship. theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. what we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we wont be torn apart.51. with the trees planted, doctor gibbs often_. a. kept watering them every morningb. talked to them to get their attention c. paid little attention to them d. beat them to make them grow deep roots52. what does the author think of the way doctor gibbs planted trees? a. interesting and funny.b. strange and harmful. c. original and reasonable.d. cruel and unacceptable.53. what does the underlined word adversity mean in the sixth paragraph? a. difficult living conditions. b. lack of moisture. c. enough care or attention.d. bad weather.54. which prayer does the author wish for his sons? a. have an easy life, without too much to worry about. b. be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives. c. have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life. d. meet people like dr gibbs in the future.55. which of the following is the best title for the article? a. trees need no water b. prayers for my sons c. doctor gibbs and his treesd. deep roots count 五、信息匹配。（共10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先请阅读下列外国某旅行社对一些旅游地点的介绍：a.essential peru - 15 days from $1962in this spectacular journey
