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 into 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 which desire to 30
our leadership in transportation. We can’t let happen,” says S
enator
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. Manufacturer 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
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
commercial
use
of
self-driving technology.
A) bid
B) contrast
C) deputy
D) dominance
E) fleets
F) knots
G) legislation
H) migrated
I) replace
J) represent
k) restrictive
L) reward
M) significant
N) sponsor
O) transmitted
Section B
Directions
:
In
this
section,
you
are
going
to
read
a
passage
with
ten
statements
attached
to
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

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
