19、illion people aged 25 or older are studying in American institutions of higher learning. Whether they are returning to improve job skills or for the love of learning, adults no longer see age as a deterrent(障碍 ). Most people jump at the opportunity to do something new. Some of them make changes they
20、d been thinking about all their lives. Others return to school out of economic necessity. New developments in neuroscience(神经科学 )and psychology are confirming that there are few age limits on how much the brain can absorb and for how long-if you stay active. Continuing to learn keeps us mentally in
21、shape and able to learn more. On mental tests, experts discovered, half to two-thirds of the people in their 70s were as intellectually quick as people in their 30s.

26、e 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earths postwar era, there was quite a widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later,
27、as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they wer
28、e hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction(失误 ). Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but- people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the fe
29、eling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double- checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre- computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for

After reading the passage you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No.56 through No.60) following them. 56 In recent years, there has been a big increase in air travel and many large airports have now reached the limit of the number of air
43、craft movements they can handle. The problem is made worse by the size of many major cities which prevents the extension of existing airports. Any new airports to be built a long way from city centers will create communication problems and in many countries there simply isnt enough land for such dev
44、elopments. Now a new proposal has been put forward which would help to relieve the congestion (拥挤 ), as far as short flights are concerned. This involves the use of smaller aircraft, carrying about 50 passengers, which only require a short take - off or landing area and which make comparatively litt
45、le noise because they are propeller -driven (螺旋桨推进 ). Such aircraft could operate much nearer city centers, say, on disused industrial sites, and give a good service to businessmen and other travelers who are going between centers, which are relatively close, such as European capitals. The main prob
46、lem remaining is the question of noise. There has been so much publicity in recent years regarding the high level of noise near airports, that any government can expect to find considerable resistance to building new airports in towns, even though these short -range small planes are relatively quiet
47、. The fact remains that increasing numbers of people want to travel by air and will accept somewhat slower flights if they can have the convenience of an airport near the city center. In the end. its a question of compromise between the travelers and the local inhabitants. 56 Recently, what has happ
48、ened to the airports due to the increase of air travel? 57 What are the two main problems to build a new airport? 58 What is the new proposal? 59 What is the publicity about if a new airport is built near towns? 60 What does the success of airports closing to city centers mainly depend on? 61 She is a very _ secretary: She never forgets anything or makes a mistake. （ A） anxious （ B） effective （ C） adequate （ D） efficient 62 Despite the wonderful acting and well- developed plot the _ movie could not hold out attention. （ A） thr
