3.Passage 1Once an honored man was having a birthday party. His sons and servants were busy welcoming guests. A thief slipped into the house. He hid himself by lying face down on a beam in the ceiling of the hall where the birthday banquet was to be held. From there, the thief could look down upon the guests and see all the gifts of silks, jade, and jewels brought in. He tried to remember where these were put so that he could steal them after the party was over.Later that evening, the host was looking at all his presents happily. He leaned over them with his back turned to the thief hiding on the beam. The thief was looking around the room so that he would be able to move quietly when the lights were off. As the thief hung his head over the beam it made a shadow on the floor.The host did not show that he had seen the shadow. He called for his servant to set a table for one guest with the best food and drink. Turning towards the beam on which the thief lay, he bowed low and said, “Will the gentleman on the roof-beam now come down to have some refreshments?”There was nothing else the thief could do but climb down. His host fed him well. After the thief had eaten his fill, the host gave him a bag of silver coins and begged him to make good use of them. Then the host saw the thief to the door and bid him good night.Ten years passed, and again the honored man held a birthday party. Many visitors came to bring him presents. The man was very old by now and could not greet all theguests. His grandson met the visitors at the door and invited them to dine with his grandfather in the evening. He then took the gifts in for the old man to see.Towards the end of the day a stranger came, bringing gifts of gold and jewels. He would not give his name, but asked to see the honored old man.The stranger was led to the old man’s room. The old man did not know this guest and asked for his name.The stranger smiled, “I am an honest man. I have learned to live a good life. But it was not always so. Do you remember how you once asked me to come down from the roof-beam and eat your food?”The host was amazed. He was even more surprised when he heard how his kindness had changed the thief into an honest man.21. How did the thief get into the house?A. He carefully disguised himself as a guest.B. He followed the servants, carrying dishes.C. He broke into the house through a window.D. He went into the house without being noticed.

    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.

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章第一段主要讲的是,随着预期寿命的增加,“老年人”的概念与以往相比已经发生了很大的变化。
    文章第二段主要讲对“老年人”的概念重新进行了界定。
    文章第三段主要讲的是,尽管人的寿命较之过去延长了,而且我们也知道老年人会面临焦虑、孤独,以及经济问题等,但相对而言,我们对老年人的经历还是知之甚少。
    文章第四段主要讲老年人的健康问题。
    从文章的头两段可以得知,现在的人通常比过去更长寿。
    文章第二段的头一句讲到,现如今65岁的人仍被视为中年人。
    文章第三段讲人们对老年人的经历仍知之甚少,因此可以说这方面的研究还有待加强。
    文章第四段中的第二句说,尽管大多数老人至少患有一种慢性病,但多数老人仍旧认为自己的健康状况良好。
