at the proposals will be part of a review of the law governing the medical fitness of drivers that will be announced publicly by the summer. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is dealing with a rising number of motorists who are concerned that they have conditionsfrom failing eyesight to epilepsythat could affect their driving. In 20xx, the DVLA dealt with 600,000 motorists whose physical ability to drive needed to be recertified(重新认证 ), a 20 per cent rise on the previous year. With an ageing population, the biggest challenge is dealing with the rising number of elderly motorists. By 2021, there will be an estimated three million drivers over the age of 70 on Britain’s roads. Drivers must renew their licenses at the age of 70 and every three years thereafter. The applicant is legally required to tell the DVLA of any conditions that could weaken their ability behind the wheel. Ministers have ruled out a pulsory maximum age for driving but will instead rely on tightening up the checks on motorists over the age of 75. The most likely option would be tests to ensure motorists were fit to drive. They would include an eyesight test and a cognitive(认知 ) test that would prove a driver39。 s ability to react to road signs, driving conditions, pedestrians and vehicles. However, checks are likely to be tightened at all ages. The strictest controls are expected to be imposed(强制 ) on motorists of any age who have had a heart attack or stroke. They could have to produce a doctor39。 s approval to resume(重新得到 ) driving. Anyone making a false declaration would be guilty of a criminal offence. 59.

C Yamilette Colon was close to leaving a school. “I’m not even going to lie to you, and I was bad, ’’ said Colon, who admitted she had a gift for attracting trouble. Three years later, though, Colon, now 18, is a school honor student on track for a May diploma, spurred in part by a sense of selfpride, but also, she says, by the economic disaster that has closed plants, deprived of jobs and dimmed the future for many young people in this depressed county. “It’s a huge factor,” Colon said, “What it es down to is, the longer you stay in school, the more education you will get, and the more money you will make.” That’s a big shift in attitude in a munity where 24 percent of adults older than 25 have not a high school education, where only 66 percent of students graduate from high school in four years, and where generations of kids dropped out because it was always easy to find a suitable job. But across the country, education leaders say they’re seeing what may be one bright spot in the discouraging downturn: more students choose to stay in or return to school. “I’m hearing kids clinging to their education as the economy gets worse,’’ said Clyde Riley, principal at the Tipton Street Center alternative school, where Colon is one of 240 students in a district that serves some 13,500. Here and elsewhere, long waiting lists for adult education and GED (General Education Development) classes, enrollments at munity colleges and, perhaps, a surge in returns by high school dropouts and a decline in those who leave in the first place, may all point to a renewed focus on education, experts say. “If there’s anything good ing out of this recession, it’s to make educational lemonade out of these lemons.” said Bob Wise, who now heads a national policy group. 63.

Because she was often asked to stay after school. 65. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Most dropouts did quite well in their lessons. B. All the dropouts think school life boring. C. Some dropouts found it easy to get a job. D. Dropouts return because they have earned enough. 66. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Students stay longer at school B. Dropouts drop back to school C. Recession made more students drop out D. Teens change their attitudes to education D If you have a fever, headache and runny nose, you might go to Google and type in the words “flu symptoms” to see whether you’ve e down with the disease. Google knows that you might do something like that, and it also knows which state you’re in if you are in the United States. Now, it’s putting that information together in a tool that could find out flu outbreaks faster than traditional systems currently in use, according to CNN report. It。
