But, much to their disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight. Suddenly, the old ladys work was interru

9、pted by the cackling of her hen-a signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the haystack.The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Soo

10、ty to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proof-the children were sure that only a witch could own a black cat with three legs.There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, withou

11、t warning, the box broke and the old lady fell.We have to got and help her, whispered Amy.What if it is a trick? replied Ben.Dont be silly, Ben.

16、ow stonesD. A bird in the hands worth two in the bushCFew laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to $1.01 per pack-smokers have jammed telephone quit lines across the country seeking to k

17、ick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates. Theyve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states

18、 insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan, for instance, which has

19、the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston, S.C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation, the price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%,

20、 far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-i

21、ncome Americans who choose to smoke.Thats true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for todays adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and

22、heart disease and feel better.28. The text is mainly about .A. the price of cigarettesB. the rate of teen smokingC. the effect of tobacco tax increaseD. the differences in tobacco tax rate29.

24、ng runB. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall illC. Future generations will be hooked on smokingD. Adults will depend more on their familiesDElephants dont forget-at least, female(雌性的) elephants dont. Elephant families are matriarchal. And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is

25、 the key to a family groups survival (生存), according to a study published in April by Karen McComb, a biologist at Sussex University in England.Elephants announce their presence by making a deep, long sound, a practice referred to as contact calling(联络呼叫). An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephan

26、t from outside the family group is nearby. A stranger can cause trouble. Interrupting feeding or disturbing the young. So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her; then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller. False alarms can disturb the group and t

27、ake time and energy away from feeding, so survival may depend in part on getting it right.Working with Cynthia Moss, who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago, McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old. She p

28、layed recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls. In fact, a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when heari

29、ng a familiar call. However, families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familiar call. And they gathered together a lot. Moreover, the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favorable res

30、ults: Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families. As elephants age, they continue to grow larger, as do their much wanted tusks(象牙). So the older-and wiser-a ma

31、triarch is, the greater the chance she will be killed. About 800,000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years.32. What does the underlined word in Para 2 matriarch mean?A. An old member of an elephant familyB. A female head of an elephant familyC. A wise elephantD. A large elephant3

32、3. The research with recordings of contact calls shows .A. How fast elephants form into groupsB. How important the age of a leading elephant isC. How frightened elephants are when hearing a strange callD. How frequently old elephants call other members of the family35. The older a female elephant is

33、, _.A. the stronger she will beB. the poorer memory she will haveC. the more useless her tusks will beD. the more likely she will be killed第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。How Teens Can Stay FitAny type of regular, physical activity can improve your fitness and your heal
