A
It was already dark when an old man came to a small town. He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”
“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”
The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all.”
“No, no,” said the woman. “I don’t think so. He must forget something.”
“Oh, I’ve remembered!” The owner cried out suddenly, “He forgot…”

B
America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying（老龄化）of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his / her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother-or my father- was at my age." No one says "Act your age" anymore. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
25．It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in America ______.
A．has made people feel younger
B．has changed people’s social position
C．has changed people’s understanding of age
D．has slowed down the country’s social development
26．The underlined word ‘one’ refers to _______.
A．a society B．America C．a place D．population
27．"Act your age" means people should _______.
A．be active when they are old
B．do the right thing at the right age
C．show respect to their parents young or old
D．take more physical exercises suitable to their age
28．If a 25-year-old man become general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _______.
A．normal B．wonderful C．unbelievable D．unreasonable

C
A couple had two little boys aged 8 and 10 who were very naughty．They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if any trouble occurred in their town their sons were probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a clergyman（牧师） in the town had been successful in educating children so she asked if he would speak with her boys．The clergyman agreed but asked to see them individually．So the mother sent her 8-year-old first in the morning with the elder boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming （嗡嗡） voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him strictly, "Where is God?"
The boy's mouth dropped open but he made no answer, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed．So the clergyman repeated the question in an even stricter tone "Where is God?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer．So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and shouted" Where is God?"
The boy screamed and escaped from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him．When his elder brother found him in the closet, he asked "What happened?"
The younger brother replied out of breath, "We are in big trouble this time．God is missing--and they think we did it．"
29．What were the two boys like?
A．They always made trouble． B．They were brave.
C．They were easygoing. D．They were honest.
30．What did their parents plan to do?
A．They gave up their children.
B．They liked their children very much.
C．They wanted the clergyman to persuade their children．
D．They helped their children to make trouble.
31．What do you suppose the boy felt when he was asked by the clergyman?
A．Happy． B．Sad. C．Afraid． D．Surprised.
32．What do you think the underlined word "slamming" in Paragraph 5 means?
A．Open． B．Shut． C．Knock． D．Pull.

D
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
33．Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A．The man’s job was bike racing.
B．It was their only possession.
C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D．They used it for work and daily life.
34．We can infer from the text that ____________.
A．the couple worked 60 hours a week.
B．people were busy before Christmas
C．the stranger brought over the bike
D．life was hard for the young family.

35．How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A．From radio broadcasts. B．From a newspaper.
C．From TV news. D．From a stranger.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Millions of people all over the world use the word OK．In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world．OK means all right or acceptable．It expresses agreement or approval．
36 Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw（乔克托语）．The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay．Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century．
But many people doubt this．Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s．He said the word began being used in the 1830s． 37 Some foreign-born people wrote “ all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OK．Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago．They said he put the first letters of his name---O and K---on each object people gave him to send on the train．
38 The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840．They called their group the OK club．The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook, New York．
Then there is the expression A-OK．It is a space-age expression．It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard．He was the first American to be launched into space．His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned．Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.” 39 One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received．
There are also funny ways to say okay． 40 These expressions were first used in the 1930s．Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way．
He says okely-doke．

A．Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke．
B．Still others say a political organization invented the word．
C．Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on．
D．But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means．
E．Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.
F．It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.
G．However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age．
