But he was sad to discover it was a mousetrap.‎ Back to the farmyard, the mouse announced this warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”‎ The hen clucked(咯咯地叫) and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell this is a great concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.” ‎ Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, “I am so ‎ very sorry, Mr Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.” ‎ Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeated the same words. The cow said, “Moo, Mr Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.” ‎ So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and sadly faced the farmer’s mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house—the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey(猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a poisonous snake whose tail was caught in the trap. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home, she still had a fever.‎ Everyone knows fresh chicken soup is good to treat a fever. So the farmer took his knife to the farmyard. The hen was killed.‎ But his wife’s sickness continued. 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 but died. So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide enough meat for all of them for the lunch.‎ The mouse looked upon it all from his hole in the wall with great sadness.‎ ‎(　　)16. What surprised the mouse when looking through the hole?‎ A. The farmer and his wife. B. A dangerous mousetrap.‎ C. A package with food in. D. A poisonous snake.‎ ‎(　　)17. What did the mouse do when it returned to the farmyard?‎ A. It had a warn talk with his friends. ‎ B. It warned its neighbors of the danger.‎ C. It argued with its neighbors loudly. ‎ D. It tried hard to cheer its neighbors.‎ ‎(　　)18. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story?‎ A. The hen was sure that it needn’t be bothered by it.‎ B. The pig only expressed its sympathy for the mouse.‎ C. The farmer’s wife was bitten by the poisonous snake.‎ D. The farmer’s neighbors came to his home for meat.‎ ‎(　　)19. What does the underlined sentence “but it’s no skin off my nose” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A. It is none of my business. B. It is out of the question.‎ C. It doesn’t affect my smell. D. It is not interesting at all.‎ ‎(　　)20. Which of the following can best express the moral of the story?‎ A. Mind works faster in time of danger. ‎ B. Never put your nose into others’ business.‎ C. We should pull together in time of trouble. ‎ D. Out of sight, out of mind.‎ B A 58-year-old mother of three, Emma Orbach has spent the past 13 years living with no electricity in her self-built roundhouse, at the bottom of a field in rural west Wales, a 15-minute walk from the nearest road.‎ Her daily routine includes tending to her vegetable plot and collecting fruit, looking after her three goats, seven chickens and two horses and cutting firewood. She gets her drinking water from a nearby stream and only rarely goes to the shops for treats like rice and chocolate. Her evenings are spent in the light of her stove, cooking her dinner and playing music. She then retires to her wool covers at about ‎ ‎7:30 p.m. Mrs Orbach said, “This is how I want to live. This lifestyle makes me feel really happy and at peace and this is my ideal home.” ‎ Living in the mountains of West Wales, she named her home Tir Ysbrydol, which means “spirit land” in Welsh. When her children, who are in their 20s and 30s and live in London, Bristol and Brighton, visit, they, like all guests at the roundhouse, are banned from bringing technology such as phones or laptops with them.‎ It is all a far cry from the conventional trappings of Mrs Orbach’s background. Her father was a violinist and her mother a librarian. After graduating from Oxford with a degree in Chinese, she married architectural historian Julian Orbach. Together they founded the Brithdir Mawr eco-community in the Preseli Mountains near Newport, in Pembrokeshire, round a 180-acre farm in 1993. For five years they enjoyed a simple life, then a survey plane chanced upon the “lost tribe(部落)” and they were involved into a decade-long battle with the authority. ‎ Officials were unable to find any records, let alone planning permission, for the mysterious hillside village was surrounded by trees and bushes, and they insisted the eight grass-covered buildings should be pulled down.‎ The eco-community suffered a decade of inquiries, court cases and a planning hearing before their fight, backed by more modern support for green issues, finally ended in victory in 2008 when the roundhouses were given planning approval.‎ But by then Mr and Mrs Orbach had divorced and the community split into three sections, including hers. Each community is independent and they co-exist as neighbours in a more traditional style.‎ Explaining why she set up her own home just before 2000, Mrs Orbach said she felt a “very strong pull to live life even more simply”.‎ She is in the process of building a sixth roundhouse there and has permission from the council to build four more. She runs a “healing an retreat(隐居) ‎ centre” on the site and usually has about five people living in the other roundhouses. They pay her a donation, which covers her ￡63-a-month council tax payments, repair costs and supplies of grain.‎ She said, “I don’t miss anything at all about what is normally called reality. The quality of life, in my view, is decreasing and everything is speeding up and becoming more stressful. Once or twice I have joked about getting a takeaway pizza delivered here when I am tired after a long day. But I don’t think anyone would deliver a pizza across two fields anyway.” ‎ ‎(　　)21. What does Mrs Orbach usually do at 7:30 p.m.?‎ A. Makes fire. B. Has dinner. ‎ C. Plays music. D. Goes to bed.‎ ‎(　　)22. The underlined sentence implies (in Para.4) that Orbach’s lifestyle　　　　. ‎ A. is deeply influenced by her parents B. is quite different from her background C. is closely associated with her degree D. is strongly supported by her husband ‎(　　)23. The officials insisted that the roundhouses be pulled down because they were built 　　　　. ‎ A. on the mysterious hillside B. without planning permission C. for commercial purpose D. regardless of the record ‎(　　)24. Mrs Orbach lives in her self-built roundhouse in order to　　　　. ‎ A. avoid her former husband B. protect the local environment C. lead a happy and simple life D. struggle against the authority ‎(　　)25. When talking about her present life, Emma Orbach is　　　　. ‎ A. satisfied 　B. desperate C. stressed 　D. regretful 三、 任务型阅读 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。‎ Americans can become fairly personal in conversation, though controversial(有争议的) subjects like sex, religion, and politics are often best avoided, at least until you get a good idea of the views of the people you are talking to.‎ It is permissible(可允许的) for an American to start a conversation with a stranger but the conversation should be immediately ended if the person does not seem to want to talk. Be especially careful not to focus your attention on someone in a plane, train or bus. An accepted conversation starter is “What do you do?” It means “What do you do for a living?” Therefore,it is also a safe question. Unless you know an American very well, it is not a good idea to criticize American society, or American ways of doing things. Americans usually think their way of doing things is either the best way or the only way. They have little knowledge of other cultures. You might be 100% right in your criticism(批评), but you won’t get the point across to someone unwilling to consider it. In a social setting with people you have just met, starting such an argument is not polite.‎ If you talk with people you already know, you can take some chances with controversial subjects. Americans also love to talk about their children. Since Americans are not particularly open about the subject of death, you will want to make sure a person’s parents are alive before referring to them or asking about them. Some Americans can spend a great deal of time in casual social circumstances ‎ talking about astrology(星座). Even if you don’t believe in astrology, it is often a good subject of conversation among people who do not know each other well.‎ If an American starts a conversation with you on a subject you consider improper or offensive, it is best to try to change the subject rather than make the problem worse by asking the other person personal questions.‎ Title: Making (26)　　　　 in America ‎ ‎(27)　　　　 that should ‎ not be talked about Controversial ones like sex, religion and politics When to start a conversation ‎ with a (28)　　　 ‎ ‎• Make sure whether the person is willing to (29)　　　　. ‎ ‎• Know how to start a safe conversation.‎ ‎• (30)　　　　 criticizing American society, or American ways of doing things. ‎ When to start a conversation ‎ with an acquaintance ‎• It is (31) 　　　　 to talk about controversial subjects. ‎ ‎• Their (32)　　　　 are commonly referred to. ‎ ‎• Be careful about the topic of (33)　　　　. ‎ ‎• Free topics such as astrology are welcome in casual social circumstances. ‎ What to do if an American starts a ‎ conversation with you on a subject ‎ that upsets you ‎• Don’t (34)　　　　 the other person personal questions. ‎ ‎• (35)　　　　 the subject. ‎
