Part III Reading
Comprehension
Section A
Directions:
In this section,
there is a passage with ten blanks. You are
required to select one word
for each
blank from a list of choices given in a word bank
following the passage. Read the passage
through carefully before making your
choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by
a letter.
Please mark the corresponding
letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a
single line through
the centre. You may
not use any of the words in the bank more than
once.
The center of American automobile
innovation has in the past decade moved 2,000
miles
away. It has
26
from Detroit to Silicon Valley, where
self-driving vehicles are coming to life.
In a
27
to
take production back to Detroit, Michigan
lawmakers have introduced
28
that
could make their state
the best place in the country, if not the world,
to develop self-driving
vehicles and
put them on the road.
“Michigan’s
29
in auto research and development is
under attack from several states and
countries who desire to
30
our leadership in transportation. We
can’t let that happen,” says
Senator
Mike Kowall, the lead
31
of four bills recently introduced.
If all four bills pass as written, they
would
32
a substantial
update of Michigan’s 2013 law
that
allowed the testing of self-driving vehicles in
limited conditions. Manufacturers would have
nearly total freedom to test their
self-driving technology on public roads. They
would be allowed
to send groups of
self-driving cars on cross-state road trips, and
even set up on-demand
33
of
self-driving cars, like
the one General Motors and Lyft are building.
Lawmakers in Michigan clearly want to
make the state ready for the commercial
application
of self-driving technology.
In
34
, California, home
of Silicon Valley, recently proposed far
more
35
rules
that would require human drivers be ready to take
the wheel, and ban commercial
use of
self-driving technology.
A)
bid
C)
deputy
B)
contrast
I)

J)
represent
D)
dominance
F)
knots
E)
fleets
K)
restrictive
L)

M)

G)

H)

N)
sponsor
O)
transmitted
Section
B
Directions:
In this
section, you are going to read a passage with ten
statements attached to it. Each
statement contains information given in
one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from
which
the information is derived. You
may choose a paragraph more than once. Each
paragraph is
marked with a letter.
Answer the questions by marking the corresponding
letter on Answer Sheet
2.
How Work Will Change When
Most of Us Live to 100
A) Today in the United States there are
72,000 centenarians (
百岁老人
).
Worldwide, probably
450,000. If current
trends continue, then by 2050 there will be more
than a million in the US alone.
According to the work of Professor
James Vaupel and his co-researchers, 50% of babies
born in
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 (
长寿
) 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
(
认知的
) 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 social
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 time to
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. In 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.
