Passage FiveMany superstitious people are afraid of black cats. They believe that black cats have a strange power. If a black cat crosses their path, they think they will have bad luck.Black cats haven't always had such a bad reputation. Long ago, the Egyptians thought that black cats were holy animals. They even worshipped them. Pasht was an Egyptian goddess who had a woman's body and a cat's head. Because the Egyptians had so much respect for black cats, they often buried the sacred creatures with great ceremony. Mummies of cats have often been found in ancient cemetery ruins. To keep the cats company after they died, mice were sometimes buried beside them.Feelings about black cats have always been strong. People have thought they were either very good or very bad. The people of Europe, in the Middle Ages, believed black cats were the evil friends of witches and the Devil. Witches were said to have the power to change themselves into black cats. People believed that you could not tell whether a black cat was just a cat, or whether it was a witch disguising herself as she plotted some evil scheme. The brain of a black cat was thought to be a main ingredient in witch's brew.Unlike their ancestors of the Middle Ages, Englishmen today consider black cats to be good luck charms. Fishermen's wives often keep a black cat around so that their husbands will be protected when they are out at sea.52. The Egyptian goddess Pasht had a ______.A. woman's head and a cat's bodyB. woman's head and a lion's bodyC. cat's head and a man's bodyD. woman's body and a cat's head

共用题干Old Man Myths and Realities1 When does a middle-aged man become an old man?Officially,of course,it's when we reach retirement age. But, as we all know, this is a fairly blunt（生硬的）method of decision making. As life expectancy（预期寿命）increases, retirement planning needs to be changed .This is because being an old man today is very different from what it was a generation or so ago.2 Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. These days people are talking about the young-old,that is ages 70-75,and those over 75 as the old-old. The young-old frequently continue in good health and maintain strong links with friends and family.The old-old have a much higher chance of poor health and social isolation.3 Although men are living longer,there are still more old women than old men.This fact alone should arouse interest as to why.Relatively little is actually known about why this is the case or about the experiences of the old man .Sure,we are aware that the old man experiences anxiety,financial problems,loneliness,etc.,but that's really about all we know.4 It is usually believed that the old man often complains about their health.In fact,most rate their health as good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronic illness. The physical health of the old man is strongly affected by their health behavior when they were younger.A man in his mid-60s is now regarded as________.A: in good healthB: in the pastC: in the wrongD: the old manE: a middle-aged manF: a young man
共用题干第三篇The Changing Middle ClassThe United States perceives itself to be a middle一class nation.However,middle class is not a real desig- nation,nor does it carry privileges（特权）.It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it evercould be right after World War II.The economy was growing;more and more people owned their own homes; workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them;and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one.Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They might have started out poor,but they could become rich.Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility.In other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.The middle class colleetively holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate.In addition,middle-class morality（道 德观）embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family,obligations to others,and believing in something outside oneself.But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U.S.Newslong commutes became routine;the need for child care put strains on the family;and public schools were not as good as they once were.Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.The 1994 survey showed most Americans thought the middle class_________________.A:took pleasure in raising childrenB:had a regular journey to workC:could not earn enough money to maintain their lifestylesD:could easily maintain their lifestyles

共用题干Old Man Myths and Realities1.When does a middle-aged man become an old man?Officially,of course,it is when we reach retirement age. But, as we all know, this is a fairly blunt（生硬的）method of decision making. As life expectancy（寿命）increases,retirement planning needs to be changed. This is because being an old man today is very different from what it was a generation or so ago.2.Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. These days people are talking about the young-old, that is ages 70-75,and those over 75 as the old-old. The young-old frequently continue in good health and maintain strong links with friends and family.The old-old have a much higher chance of poor health and social isolation.3.Although men are living longer,there are still more old women than old men.This fact alone should arouse interest as to why. Relatively little is actually known about why this is the case or about the experiences of the old man.Sure,we are aware that the old man experiences anxiety,financial problems,loneliness,etc.,but that is really about all we know.4.It is usually believed that the old man often complains about their health.In fact,most old man think their health is good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronic illness.The physical health of the old man is strongly affected by their health behavior when they were younger.A man in his mid-60s is now regarded as______.A:in good healthB:in the pastC:in the wrongD:the old manE:a middle-aged man F: a young man
