過(guò)去十年中,美國(guó)汽車創(chuàng)新中心已移至2,000 英里之外。從底特律到硅谷,有26 條路,自動(dòng)駕駛汽車正在那里投入使用。
在將生產(chǎn)帶回底特律的27 項(xiàng)計(jì)劃中,密歇根州立法者提出了28 項(xiàng)計(jì)劃,這可能使該州成為美國(guó)乃至全世界開發(fā)自動(dòng)駕駛汽車并將其上路的最佳地點(diǎn)。
“密歇根州在汽車研發(fā)領(lǐng)域排名第29 位,正受到多個(gè)州和國(guó)家的攻擊,這些州和國(guó)家希望我們?cè)诮煌I(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)先地位達(dá)到第30 位。我們不能讓這種情況發(fā)生,”參議員邁克·科沃爾(Mike Kowall) 說(shuō)道,他是最近提出的四項(xiàng)法案中第31 項(xiàng)法案的帶頭人。
如果所有四項(xiàng)法案都按規(guī)定通過(guò),他們將32 對(duì)密歇根州2013 年的法律進(jìn)行重大更新,該法律允許在有限的條件下測(cè)試自動(dòng)駕駛汽車。制造商幾乎可以完全自由地在公共道路上測(cè)試他們的自動(dòng)駕駛技術(shù)。允許派出一組自動(dòng)駕駛汽車進(jìn)行跨州公路旅行,甚至可以按需設(shè)置33 輛自動(dòng)駕駛汽車,就像通用汽車和Lyft 正在建造的那樣。
密歇根州的立法者顯然希望讓該州為自動(dòng)駕駛技術(shù)的商業(yè)應(yīng)用做好準(zhǔn)備。 34 硅谷所在地加利福尼亞州最近提出了35 條規(guī)則,要求人類駕駛員準(zhǔn)備好掌控方向盤,以及自動(dòng)駕駛技術(shù)的商業(yè)使用。

當(dāng)我們大多數(shù)人活到100 歲時(shí),工作將會(huì)發(fā)生怎樣的變化
A) 如今美國(guó)有72,000 名百歲老人。全世界大概有450,000 個(gè)。如果目前的趨勢(shì)繼續(xù)下去,那么到2050 年,僅美國(guó)就有超過(guò)100 萬(wàn)。根據(jù)James Vaupel 教授及其同事的研究,50% 的嬰兒出生于
the US in 2007 have a life expectancy of 104 or more. Broadly the same holds for the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Canada, and for Japan 50% of 2007 babies can expect to live to 107. B) Understandably, there are concerns about what this means for public finances given the associated health and pension challenges. These challenges are real, and society urgently needs to address them. But it is also important to look at the wider picture of what happens when so many people live for 100 years. It is a mistake to simply equate longevity (長(zhǎng)壽) with issues of old age. Longer lives have implications for all of life, not just the end of it. C) Our view is that if many people are living for longer, and are healthier for longer, then this will result in an inevitable redesign of work and life. When people live longer, they are not only older for longer, but also younger for longer. There is some truth in the saying that “70 is the new 60” or “40 the new 30.” If you age more slowly over a longer time period, then you are in some sense younger for longer. D) But the changes go further than that. Take, for instance, the age at which people make commitments such as buying a house, getting married, having children, or starting a career. These are all fundamental commitments that are now occurring later in life. In 1962, 50% of Americans were married by age 21. By 2014, that milestone(里程碑)had shifted to age 29. E) While there are numerous factors behind these shifts, one factor is surely a growing realization for the young that they are going to live longer. Options are more valuable the longer they can be held. So if you believe you will live longer, then options become more valuable, and early commitment becomes less attractive. The result is that the commitments that previously characterized the beginning of adulthood are now being delayed, and new patterns of behavior and a new stage of life are emerging for those in their twenties. F) Longevity also pushes back the age of retirement, and not only for financial reasons. Yes, unless people are prepared to save a lot more, our calculations suggest that if you are now in your mid-40s, then you are likely to work until your early 70s; and if you are in your early 20s, there is a real chance you will need to work until your late 70s or possibly even into your 80s. But even if people are able to economically support a retirement at 65, over thirty years of potential inactivity is harmful to cognitive(認(rèn)知的) and emotional vitality. Many people may simply not want to do it. G) And yet that does not mean that simply extending our careers is appealing. Just lengthening that second stage of full-time work may secure the financial assets needed for a 100-year life, but such persistent work will inevitably exhaust precious intangible assets such as productive skills, vitality, happiness, and friendship. H) The same is true for education. It is impossible that a single shot of education, administered in childhood and early adulthood, will be able to support a sustained, 60-year career. If you factor in the projected rates of technological change, either your skills will become unnecessary, or your industry outdated. That means that everyone will, at some point in their life, have to make a number of major reinvestments in their skills. I) It seems likely, then, that the traditional three-stage life will evolve into multiple stages containing two, three, or oven more different careers. Each of these stages could potentially be different. In one the focus could be on building financial success and personal achievement, in another on creating a better work/life balance, still another on exploring and understanding options more fully, or becoming an independent producer, yet another on making a socia Contribution. These stages will span sectors, take people to different cities, and provide Foundation for building a wide variety of skills. J) Transitions between stages could be marked with sabbaticals (休假) as people find tim rest and recharge their health, re-invest in their relationships, or improve their skills. At times, these breaks and transitions will be self-determined, at others they will be forced as existing roles, firms, or industries cease to exist. K)A multi-stage life will have profound changes not just in how you manage your career, but also in your approach to life. An increasingly important skill will be your ability to deal with change and even welcome it. A three-stage life has few transitions, while a multi-stage life has many. That is why being self-aware, investing in broader networks of friends, and being open to new ideas will become even more crucial skills. L)These multi-stage lives will create extraordinary variety across groups of people simply because there are so many ways of sequencing the stages. More stages mean more possible sequences. M)With this variety will come the end of the close association of age and stage. I n a three-stage life, people leave university at the same time and the same age, they tend to start their careers and family at the same age, they proceed through middle management all roughly the same time, and then move into retirement within a few years of each other. In a multi-stage life, you could be an undergraduate at 20, 40, or 60; a manager at 30, 50, or 70; and become an independent producer at any age. N)Current life structures, career paths, educational choices, and social norms are out of tune with the emerging reality of longer lifespans. The three-stage life of full-time education, followed by continuous work, and then complete retirement may have worked for our parents or even grandparents, but it is not relevant today. We believe that to focus on longevity as primarily an issue of aging is to miss its full implications. Longevity is not necessarily about being older for longer. It is about living longer, being older later, and being younger longer. 36. An extended lifespan in the future will allow people to have more careers than now. 37. Just extending one’s career may have both positive and negative effects. 38. Nowadays, many Americans have on average delayed their marriage by some eight years. 39. Because of their longer lifespan, young people today no longer follow the pattern of life of their parents or grandparents. 40. Many more people will be expected to live over 100 by the mid-21st century. 41. A longer life will cause radical changes in people’s approach to life. 42. Fast technological change makes it necessary for one to constantly upgrade their skills. 43. Many people may not want to retire early because it would do harm to their mental and emotional well-being. 44. The close link between age and stage may cease to exist in a multi-stage life. 45. People living a longer and healthier life will have to rearrange their work and life. 【參考答案】 36-40 IGDNA 41-45 KHFMC Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. In the classic marriage vow(誓約), couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But a new study finds that the risk of porce among older couples rises when the wife-not the husband—becomes seriously ill. “Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of porce,” said researcher Amelia Karraker. Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50. The researchers examined how the onset(發(fā)生)of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in porce over the period studied. The incidence of new chronic(慢性的)illness onset increased over time as will, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems. “We found that women are doubly vulnerable to marital break-up in the face of illness,” Karraker said. “They’re more likely to be widowed, and if they’re the noes who become ill, they’re more likely to get porced.” While the study didn’t assess why porce in more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender norms and social expectations about caregiving many make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses,” Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, porced men have more choices among prospective partners than porced women.” Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population, Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of porce. “Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce marital stress and prevent porce at older ages,” she said. “But it’s also important to recognize that the pressure to porce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.” 46. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage A) They may not guarantee a lasting marriage. B) They are as binding as they used to be. C) They are not taken seriously any more. D) They may help couples tide over hard times. 47. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands A) They are generally not good at taking care of themselves. B) They can become increasingly vulnerable to serious illnesses. C) They can develop different kinds of illnesses just like their wives. D) They are more likely to contract serious illnesses than their wives. 48. What does Karraker say about women who fall ill A) They are more likely to be widowed. B) They are more likely to get porced. C) They are less likely to receive good care. D) They are less likely to bother their spouses. 49. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker A) They are more accustomed to receiving care. B) They find it more important to make money for the family. C) They think it more urgent to fulfill their social obligations. D) They expect society to do more of the job. 50. What does Karraker think is also important A) Reducing marital stress on wives. B) Stabilizing old couples’s relations. C) Providing extra care for porced women. D) Making men pay for their wives’ health costs. Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a sibling’s(兄弟姐妹的)name. How could she not know you Did it mean she loved you less Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive (認(rèn)知的)error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names. The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition,found that the “wrong” name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group.” The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender. The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them—family or friend—had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries. In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry. 51.How might people often feel when they were misnamed A)Unwanted. B)Unhappy. C)Confused. D)Indifferent. 52.What did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming A)It is related to the way our memories work. B)It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory. C)It occurs mostly between kids and their friends. D)It often causes misunderstandings among people. 53. What is most likely the cause of misnaming A) Similar personality traits. B) Similar spellings of names. C) Similar physical appearance. D) Similar pronunciation of names. 54. What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming A) It more often than not hurts relationships. B) It hardly occurs across gender boundaries. C) It is most frequently found in extended families. D) It most often occurs within a relationship groups. 55. Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers A) They suffer more frustrations. B) They become worn out more often. C) They communicate more with their children. D) They generally take on more work at home. Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2. 剪紙是中國(guó)民間藝術(shù)的一種獨(dú)特形式,已有2000多年歷史。剪紙很可能源于漢代,繼紙張發(fā)明之后。從此,它在中國(guó)的許多地方得到了普及。剪紙用的材料和工具很簡(jiǎn)單:紙和剪刀。剪紙作品通常是用紅紙做成的,因?yàn)榧t色在中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化中與幸福相聯(lián)。因此,在婚禮、春節(jié)等喜慶場(chǎng)合,紅顏色的剪紙是門窗裝飾的首選。 【參考譯文】 Paper cutting is a unique form of Chinese traditional folk art with a history of more than 2,000 years. Paper cutting probably originated in the Han Dynasty, following the invention of the paper. Since then, it has been spread widely in many parts of China. The materials and tools for paper cutting are simple: paper and scissors. Paper cutting works are usually made of red paper, because red is associated with happiness in traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, in the wedding, the Spring Festival and other festive occasions, red paper cutting is the first choice of door and window decoration.
