During that time the population of the world increased by eighty-five people. Perhaps you think that isnt much. In the next hour, more than 5,000 additional(另外的) people will be living on this planet. So it goes, hour after hour. In one day, there are about 120,000 additional mouths to feed. Multiply (乘) this by 365. What will happen in 100 years?This population explosion(激增)may be the greatest challenge of the present time. Within the next forty years, the world population may double. Can the new frontiers (尖端) of science meet the needs of the crowded world of tomorrow?If the present rate of population increase for the next 600 or 700 years, there will be standing room only. Each person will have between 3 to 10 square feet of space in which to live. This includes the mountaintops, deserts, and the ice and snow fields of the polar regions(极地). Of course, no one expects such a thing to happen. War, plague(瘟), famine(饥荒), or some other catastrophe(灾祸) can expected to occur(发生) long before the population reaches this point. Actually, the danger is not in an overcrowded world where people are huddled(挤) together so that they cannot move arms and legs, but in an upset balance between population and resources.51.

Her husband died when she was fifty-three and he left her an old car he had had for six years. She learned to drive and loved to very much. She liked driving very fast, and was proud of the fact that she had never been caught for a driving offence (违章).Then one day she nearly lost her record(纪录). A police car followed her, and the policeman in it saw her pass a red light without stopping and she was taken before a judge. The man looked at her and said that she was too old to drive a car, and the reason why she had not stopped at the red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, so that she had simply not seen it.When the judge had finished what he was saying, Mrs Young opened her handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a needle(针) with a very small eye(针眼)，and threaded it at her first try.When she has finished it , she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, “Now its your turn. I suppose you drive a car, and that your eyesight is good.”The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After trying six times, he had still not done it. At last he had to set the old woman free and her record remained unbroken.56. Mrs Youngs car was _ years old. A. 16 B. 33 C. 40 D. 5357. Mrs Young was never caught for a driving offence because _.

In an effort (trying hard )to reduce the theft (stealing) of one million vehicles (车辆)a year, car maker are looking for devices (something invented for a special purpose) to replace the traditional (传统的)car key. One such device has been invented recently.Developed by William J. Hawkins, the new device is a coded celluloid(化纤的)strip (细条，带子) that looks like a credit card(信用卡).This card, with 16.000 possible code combinations, is put into a slot in the dashboard. A memory device inside the dashboard “reads” the card. If the code on the card is the right one for the car, the device unlinks the ignition. This allows the car to be started and the hood(罩) and trunk to be opened. In order to stop the engine, the card must be taken out of the slot .This will prevent drivers from leaving their celluloid cards in the dashboard slot.Without a card, or with the wrong card, the ignition and everything else remains locked. Since thieves cannot open the hood, they cannot even “jump” the wires.61. The title that best describes the main idea of this passage is _.A. A New Discovery to Stop Car Thefts B.

Students work on their own at home, at work, or at school and communicate with teachers and other students by e-mails, electronic forums, videoconferencing, chat rooms, bulletin boards, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication. There are both advantages and disadvantages to online distance learning. There are many benefits to using online distance learning environments. Online education is available all the time and anywhere. However，there are disadvantages for some learners. The online learner only has the written text and no other face-to-face cues.

The large number of messages can sometimes be overwhelming for many online students. Universities, Colleges and Schools use virtual online distance learning environments. These are important for students who may be unable to attend classes for various reasons like illnesses or busy everyday schedules. Some learners just want to further their studies at home. They enjoy the convenience of home learning as they take regular programs or enrichment classes.Online courses keep learners very occupied at all hours. There is a great deal of messages and other online resources to read and respond to. Most learners have regular jobs or attend regular school classes on ground as well. However, the benefits are clear. Online distance learning is becoming very popular. Some virtual online classes have become a profitable business as they replace regular traditional means of learning. 66.

Learning at homeC. a system of learning on your own by writing lettersD. learning without the presence and help of teachers67.
