A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. What food might it contain He was alarmed to discover that it was a rat trap (捕鼠夹).
Going back to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) farmyard the rat gave a warning: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” The chicken raised her head and said: “Excuse me, Mr Rat, I can tell this is a big concern to you, but it is of no business to me. I cannot be bothered with it.”
The rat turned to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e pig and told him: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” “I am so very sorry, Mr. Rat,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. I will make sure that you are in my prayers.”
The rat turned to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the cow. She said, “Like wow, Mr. Rat. A rat trap. I am in grave danger. Duh ”
So the rat returned ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s rat trap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was a poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife.
The farmer rush ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet (短柄斧) to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient.
His wife’s sickness ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them the farmer killed the pig.
The farmer’s wife did ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) not get well. She died, and so many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next ti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when there is a rat trap in the house, the whole farmyard is at risk.
25. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word “dejected” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .
A. disappointed B. surprised C. confused D. doubtful
26. Which of the fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llowing statements is TRUE according to the article
A. The chicken showed great concern for the rat.
B. The pig helped the rat get rid of the trap.
C. The cow didn’t care about what the rat said.
D. The snake was killed after being caught in the trap.
27. We can conclude from the article that .
A. the farmer’s wife got good treatment in the hospital
B. the farmer regretted setting up the rat trap
C. the rat was very wise in avoiding the trap
D. none of the other animals felt threatened by the rat trap
28. What message does the story intend to convey

C
Good table manners p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lay an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table.
The first thing you sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ould be aware of is that you need to have proper posture at the table. Sit up straight, with your arms held near your body. You should neither lean on the back of the chair nor bend forward to place the elbows on the table.
Put the spoon into ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the soup when eating soup, moving it away from the body, until it is nearly full, then suck the liquid without slurping (咂咂地吃) from the side of the spoon and putting the whole spoon into the mouth.
When you offer more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) food to your guests, you need to choose your words carefully, if you are the host of a party. Telling someone to “have another (or a second or third) helping” can be seen as an unpleasant suggestion that the guest has eaten too much.
The proper response ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to “Please pass the salt.”, a very simple sounding request, is to pick up both the salt and the pepper and to place them on the table next to the person beside you, who will do the same, and so on, until they reach the person who asked for them.
Be careful when y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou remove inedible items from the mouth. The general rule for removing food from your mouth is that it should go out the same way it went in. A piece of bone discovered in a piece of chicken should be returned to the plate by the fork. Only fish is different. It is fine to remove the tiny bones with your fingers, since they would be difficult to drop from your mouth onto the fork. And, of course, if what you have to spit out will be very ugly—an extremely fatty piece of meat that you simply can’t swallow, for example—you should quietly spit it into your napkin, so that you can keep it out of sight.
29. What’s the passage mainly about
A. General advice on how to make friends.
B. Direction on how to host a dinner party.
C. Some do’s and don’ts when dining out.
D. How to be guests with good manners.
30. According to the text, when eating soup you should ________.
A. put the whole spoon into your mouth
B. slurp it from the side of the spoon
C. bend forward to place the elbows on the table
D. suck it without making noise
31. If you are the host of a party, you should ________.
A. avoid telling your guests to have another helping
B. be careful of your manner
C. advise someone not to eat too much
D. constantly offer more food to your guests
32. What does the underlined word “inedible” mean in the text
A. not nutritious
B. not delicious
C. not suitable to be eaten
D. not fit to drink
D
How and when did A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ustralia begin It is believed that Australian history began at the end of the eighteenth century. After several centuries of European voyaging in the southern oceans, the English naval officer James Cook sailed the eastern coast in 1770, named it New South Wales and took possession of it in the name of his king. Within twenty years the British government sent a team of explorers to settle in New South Wales. On 26 January 1788，its commander, Arthur Phillip, began to rule over the eastern half of the country. Several thousand officers, soldiers, officials and criminals who came ashore from the eleven ships of the First Fleet, anchored(停泊) in the port of Sydney. They prepared the way for later immigrants who spread out over the continent.
This is a story of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a sleeping land brought to life by Endeavour, the name given to Cook’s ship and the quality given to those who followed him.
The newcom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers brought with them domestic animals, plants and tools. They also brought with them new ideas. That accomplishment in turn shaped what Australia is now.
33. The easte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rn coast of Australia was named New South Wales in 1770. Who did it
A. James Cook. B. Arthur Phillip.
C. George Washington. D. William Shakespeare.
34. According to this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) passage, the British government sent a team of explorers to settle in New South Wales within ________ years.
