二、阅读理解（共 1 道试题，共 10 分。）
1.  　　Psychiatrists ( 精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing - older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents' biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, "end up retiring much later." For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.
　　Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he's also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he's learned that young at heart doesn't mean young. Lately he's been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. "My body is aging," says Metcalf. "You can't get away from that."
　　Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. "They worry they'll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they'll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school," says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: "that they won't be alive long enough to support and protect their child," she says.
　　Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband. Randy, had twins. "We both wanted children," says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, "a sense of family."
Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. 'The dads are older, more mature," says Dr. Silber, "and more ready to focus on parenting."
1). Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?
A. Older parents can better balance their resources against children's demands.
B. Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.
C. Older parents are often better prepared financially.
D. Older parents can take better care of their children.
-----------------选择：   
2). What does the author mean by saying "For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream" (Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?
A. They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.
B. They can't get full pension unless they work some extra years.
C. They can't obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.
D. They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.
-----------------选择：  
3). The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that ____.
A. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age
B. taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy
C. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies
D. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children
-----------------选择：     
4). What's the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joan Galst?
A. Being laughed at by other people.
B. Slowing down of their pace of life.
C. Being mistaken for grandparents.
D. Approaching of death.
-----------------选择：     
5). What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?
A. They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.
B. Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.
C. They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.
D. Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.

三、阅读理解（共 1 道试题，共 10 分。）
1.  
       The Internet seems to have just arrived, so how can we possibly imagine what will replace it? In truth, early versions of the Net have been around since the 1960s and 70s, but only after the mid-1990s did it begin to have a serious public impact. Since 1994, the population of users has grown from about 13 million to more than 300 million around the world.
       What will the Internet be like 20 years from now?
       Like the rest of infrastructure, the Internet will eventually seem to disappear by becoming widespread. Most access will probably be via high-speed, low-power radio links. Most handheld, fixed and mobile appliances will be Internet enabled. This trend is already discernible in the form of Internet-enabled cell phones and personal digital assistants. Like the servants of centuries past, our household helpers will chatter with one another and with the outside help.
       So many appliances, vehicles and buildings will be online by 2020 that it seems likely there will be more things on the Internet than people. Internet-enabled cars and airplanes are coming online, and smart houses are being built every day. Eventually, programmable devices will become so cheap that we will embed them in the cardboard boxes into which we put other things for storage or shipping. These passive “computers” will be activated as they pass sensors and will be able to both emit and absorb information. Such innovations will facilitate increasingly automatic manufacturing, inventory control, shipping and distribution. Checkout at the grocery store will be fully automatic, as will payment via your digital wallet.
       The advent of programmable, mini-scale machines will extend the Internet to things with the size of molecules that can be injected under the skin, leading to Internet-enabled people. Such devices, together with Internet-enabled sensors embedded in clothing, will avoid a hospital stay for medical patients who would otherwise be there only for observation. The speech processor used today in cochlear implants for the hearing impaired could easily be connected to the Internet; listening to Internet radio could soon be a direct computer-to-brain experience!
       The Internet will undergo substantial alteration as optical technologies allow the transmission of many trillions of bits per second on each Internet’s fiber-optic backbone network. The core of the network will remain optical, and the edges will use a mix of access technologies, ranging from radio and infrared to optical fiber and the old twisted-pair copper telephone lines.By then, the Internet will have been extended, by means of an interplanetary Internet backbone, to operate in outer space.
       How will this pervasive Internet access affect our daily lives? More and more of the world’s information will be accessible instantly and from virtually anywhere. In an emergency, our health records will be available for remote medical consultation with specialists and perhaps even remote surgery. More and more devices will have access to the global positioning system, increasing the value of geographically indexed databases. Using GPS with speech-understanding software that is emerging today, we will be able to get directions from our Internet as easily as we once got them at a filling station.
       Is there any downside to a society suffused with information and the tools to process it?
       Privacy will come at a premium. Enormous quantities of data about our daily affairs will flow across the Internet, working to make our lives easier. Despite our preference for giving up privacy in exchange for convenience, our experiences online may make us yearn for the anonymity of the past. Who should have access to our medical records and our financial information, and how will that access be controlled? Will we be able to search and use the vast information stored online without leaving trails across the Net? How will business transactions be taxed, and in what jurisdictions will disputed electronic transactions be resolved? How will intellectual property be protected? How will we prove that contracts were signed on a certain date, or that their terms and conditions have not been electronically altered? There are technical answers for many of these questions, but some will require international agreements before they can be resolved.
       Perhaps even more daunting, in the face of Internet-wide virus attacks, is the realization that we will depend in larger and larger measure on the network’s functioning reliably. Making this system of millions of networks robust is a challenge for the present generation of Internet engineers. But I am an optimist and believe we are going to live in a world abundant with information and with the tools needed to use it wisely.
1). The main idea the author tries to convey is that ______.
A. the Internet has already arrived
B. the Internet began to have a serious impact in 1990s
C. the Internet is getting more and more popular
D.
the Internet is developing fast ever since its appearance

A. high-speed, low-power radio links
B. handheld mobile appliances
C. internet-enabled cell phones
D. personal digital assistants
-----------------选择：   
3). The Internet will have a significant change thanks to optical technology, which ______.
A.  will make the Internet access more flexible
B. will make the Internet transmission more rapidly
C. will make the Internet communication more convenient
D. will make the Internet more useful in our life

A. doubtful

1.  
    A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide — the division of the world into the info(information) rich and the info poor. And that  (1)  does exist today.

    There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow.

Countries that still think foreign investment is a/an  (17)  of their sovereignty（主权）might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States. When the United States  (18)  its industrial infrastructure, it didn’t have the capital to do so. And that is  (19)  America’s Second Wave infrastructure— (20) roads, harbors, highways, ports and so on—were built with foreign investment.
