I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the 18 . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the 19 I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her. She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 20 me a bit.

第三节：阅读理解

A

A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package: What food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.”

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers.”

The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”

3

So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.

So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk. 36. We could see from the passage that the mouse was ______.

A. kind and warm-hearted B. well-informed C. good at cheating others D. foolish and rude 37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The pig was comparatively less friendly than the others in the farmyard. B. The mouse trap that the mouse discovered was not a practical one. C. The farmer and his wife trapped an evil snake that night.

D. The farmer’s family was in fact poor and they had no friends. 38. The underlined word “ingredient” (Paragraph 7) refers to ______.

A. the mouse B. the pig C. the snake D. the chicken

B

According to a new survey, more than half of the parents in the United States are helping, or have helped or supported their adult children who have been hit by high unemployment and poor wages. It showed that present economic conditions are discouraging young adults from leaving home and forcing those who have already gone, so called boomerang(回旋镖) kids, to return.

“Parents are continuing their financial involvement longer than we expected, ” said Ted Beck, president of National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE).

About 60 percent of parents questioned in the survey said they are helping their adult children who are no longer in school financially. Half are providing housing and nearly half are helping with living expenses.

For an increasing number of adult children, the situation is bad. Two－thirds of adult children, aged 18 to 39, who are not in school said they faced tougher financial pressure than previous generations, according to the survey. And nearly one－third of the parents agreed that it was easier for them to find their financial feet than for their children.

4

Parents are helping their children out of genuine(真诚的) concern because they don't want to see them struggle. But Beck said that parents who make sacrifices to help their adult children should be careful about their own finances.

“If you are taking on extra debt or delaying retirement to help your adult children, you could be making a mistake and putting your own financial future in danger，” Beck warned.

Boomerang children can also cause other problems for their parents. Thirty percent of parents said they have given up privacy since their adult children moved back home, while more than a quarter have taken on added debt, and seven percent have delayed retirement. But the survey also showed that 42 percent of adult children living at home are helping with the cooking and cleaning.

39. According to the passage, boomerang kids here refer to ________.

A. married adult children

B. grown－ups living with parents

C. adult children independent and successful in life

D. adult children depending on parents for financial support 40. Which of the following matches the result of the survey?

A. About 30% of parents offer their adult children housing.

B. One－third of adult children earn money more easily than their parents. C. Two－thirds of adult children are faced with financial problems in school. D. About 50% of parents give money to their adult children to cover the daily cost. 41. What is Ted Beck's suggestion to the parents?

A. Asking their children to help with the housework. B. Being cautious in helping their children. C. Leaving their children to struggle to live. D. Putting off their time of retirement.

42. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Adult children are less independent B. Parents help support adult children C. Bad conditions affect children a lot D. Spoiled generation in the United States 第四节：任务型阅读(每空仅限一词)

The health dangers of smoking have been well reported. For years, doctors have warned that smoking can cause lung cancer. Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks and other diseases, lung diseases, and a number of other medical problems. The repeated health warnings have had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult.

A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of smoking, a person's body becomes dependent on the substance. A try to stop smoking brings

the problems of nicotine withdrawal(脱瘾过程).

American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many people who have tried to stop smoking would confirm those findings.

To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco, or using snuff as safe substitutes(替代物). Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in. But many people put it between their gum and cheek.

A group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that lead to cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat or digestive system.

Medical researchers say another possible substitute for smoking is a special nicotine chewing gum. The gum is already sold in Europe and Canada. A report says research shows that the chewing gum will increase the amount of nicotine in a person's blood. This helps satisfy some people's desire for a cigarette. However, the report says, the chewing gum also leads to some unpleasant side effects. And it may be dangerous for people with heart problems.

Two other American scientists say they have found that the most effective way to stop smoking is to do it completely, suddenly, all at once. The report by Saul Shirtman and Dr. Murray Jogbett says that by stopping all at once, the worst problems of nicotine withdrawal are over in just a few days. But, they say, by continuing to smoke, even a little less each day, the problems of withdrawal never end completely.

Bad effects of Many kinds of diseases and a number of other medical problems are smoking (1)_______ with smoking. (2)_______in stopping smoking. The (3)______ for this is that smokers are dependent on nicotine, a poisonous substance in tobacco, and people (4)______ to stop smoking have emotional problems and are unable to think sharply.
