Before 1800, no country in the world had an average life expectancy (预期寿命) at birth beyond 40. Today there is not a country that does not. Since 1900, more years have been added to human life than in the rest of history combined, initially by reducing child death and lately by stretching life spans. Longevity is one of humanity's great achievements, yet it is seen as one of society's great headaches. The problem lies in the increasing dependence of the old on the young. By 2100, the ratio of 65-plus to "working-age" people will triple. As the world grays, growth, tax revenues and work forces will decline while spending on pensions and health care will increase.

18. Read the following paragraph and choose the best topic sentence from the four options that follow. Write the corresponding letter of your choice on the answer sheet.

     In order to drive in the U.S., you have to go to your local Department of Motor Vehicles first, and take a written test to get your learner's permit. If you pass this test, you can practice driving so youcan pass a road test and get your license. The Department of Motor Vehicles or DMV has free booklets you can go and get to study for your learner's permit. You can also access the information online and even take a practice written exam. To prepare for the road test, you can have a friend teach you to drive or pay to take classes at a driving school. You cannot, however, practice driving by yourself. If you are caught driving with only a learner's permit, you can get into trouble with the law.

     A. You cannot drive in the U.S. without passing a couple of tests.

     F. A recent survey found that parents are managing their kids' use of technology in very different ways, and as a result, they are creating three distinct groups of young people: digital orphans, exiles and heirs.

     G. Digital heirs have impressive technology skills thanks largely to their parents and teachers who have encouraged and directed their technology education, but they might face challenges in dealing with their less knowledgeable peers.

V. 划掉与段落内容无关的句子 (10 points, 5 points each)

20. Read the following paragraph and cross out TWO irrelevant sentences.

     At some time in your life, you may have taken a time management class, only to find that it is a complete waste of time because it doesn't work. Indeed, our life is wasted in all kinds of classes. Time management classes fail because there are two types of time: clock time and real time. In clock time, all time passes equally. In real time, all time is relative. Time flies or drags depending on what you're doing. Two hours can feel like 12 years. And yet our  12-year-old children seem to have grown up in only two hours. Children have no idea of time. Which time describes the world you really live in, real time or clock time? The good news is that real time is mental. You create it. Anything you create, you can manage. It's time to remove any self-limitation you have around "not having enough time", or today not being "the fight time" to take the action.

VI. 写信 (40points)

 21. Write a letter of thanks according to the following situation: You are doing research on

     environmental protection and need a book on that subject. Your friend (Chris) who is

     explain how important that book is, and ask about his situation. Please sign your name as

     Li Fei. (150-200 words)
