8.A strange,new dilemma faces Chinese pedestrians:should you help an elderly person who has fallen into the street?The answer seems simple.Your conscience forces you to help someone in danger.But many Chinese are discovering that some of these injured people are scammers.They accuse good Samaritans(好心人) of having knocked them over in the first place,and they file complaints in hopes of receiving large amounts of compensation.
There are frequent reports on such incidents and following disputes.On Sept 8,a new case happened in Huainan,Anhui province.Yuan Chen,a 20-year-old college student from Huainan Normal University,claimed that she helped an injured elderly woman on the street.But the woman's family has demanded that Yuan take full responsibilities for the injuries.
Since the incident happened in the security cameras'blind spot,both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names.The local police department is also investigating the case.But how can you possibly solve a case like this,where the only evidence comes from two conflicting viewpoints?
"This kind of cases should follow the principle of‘the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim',"Ye Lin,a law professor from Renmin University of China,told China Central Television.The burden of proof means the collection of proof or evidence.In civil cases,"if you accuse someone of causing you harm or losses,you should collect convincing proof to back your claim,"said Ye."If you cannot do that,the law will not be able to support your claim."
The law may not resolve all the problems,however.Some elderly people choose to blackmail(敲詐) their helpers because they do not have health insurance.To prevent this,the country needs to put in place a better social security net.
32.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?B
A.Conscience is troublesome because it compels you to help someone who will set you up in return.
B.Sometimes the warm-hearted are wrongly accused of having knocked others over.
C.It is advisable for Chinese people to turn a blind eye to someone in danger.
D.There's no doubt that the elderly usually fell down on purpose to claim compensation.
33.What does the sentence in paragraph 3"both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names"mean?D
A.Both sides are in search of someone who can call out their names.
B.Both sides are in search of evidence that can clarify their opinions.
C.Both sides are in search of evidence that can wash away their crimes.
D.Both sides are in search of someone who can prove they are telling the truth.
34.What can we infer from Ye Lin,the law professor's words?C
A.Ye Lin thinks it is Yuan Chen who is responsible for gathering proof.
B.In civil cases,the accused should collect proof as well to reject the claim.
C.The principle regards the accused as innocent until convincing proof can be provided.
D.Since it is hard to collect convincing proof,both sides should take on the responsibility.
35.What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?B
A.To make comments on this hot social phenomenon.
B.To emphasize the necessity of an improved social security system.
C.To analyze deep causes of the elderly blackmailing their helpers.
D.To illustrate the impact brought about by the blackmail on our society.

分析 本文主要介紹了一種社會(huì)現(xiàn)象.如果在路上看到一位老人摔倒,你扶還是不扶?這本來是一個(gè)非常簡(jiǎn)單的選擇,但現(xiàn)在對(duì)很多人來說卻是對(duì)價(jià)值觀、人生觀的巨大考驗(yàn),因?yàn)樯斐鲈种蟮却愕挠锌赡苁侵鲌D報(bào),也有可能是恩將仇報(bào).為了避免壞的事件,國(guó)家需要完善社會(huì)保險(xiǎn)體系.

解答 32.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段But many Chinese are discovering that some of these injured people are scammers.They accuse good Samaritans(好心人) of having knocked them over in the first place,and they file complaints in hopes of receiving large amounts of compensation.可知很多國(guó)人發(fā)現(xiàn)一些傷者其實(shí)是騙子.他們訛詐好心人把自己撞倒,倒打一耙,進(jìn)而索取高額賠償.由此推知,有時(shí)熱心人被錯(cuò)誤地指責(zé)為把別人撞倒在地上.故選B.
33.D  句意辨析題.根據(jù)第三段Since the incident happened in the security cameras'blind spot,both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names.The local police department is also investigating the case.But how can you possibly solve a case like this,where the only evidence comes from two conflicting viewpoints?可知由于事故發(fā)生在監(jiān)控盲區(qū),雙發(fā)都在尋找證人.當(dāng)?shù)毓簿忠苍谡{(diào)查該事件.不過在這種兩方各執(zhí)一詞,證據(jù)也只是雙方證詞的情況下,如何解決糾紛?由此推知,"both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names"的意思是"雙方都在尋找能證明他們說真話的人".故選D.
34.C  細(xì)節(jié)推理題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段In civil cases,"if you accuse someone of causing you harm or losses,you should collect convincing proof to back your claim,"said Ye."If you cannot do that,the law will not be able to support your claim."可知葉林教授說"如果你指控他人對(duì)你造成傷害或損失,你就要收集支持自己訴訟的證據(jù).如果你無法舉證,那么法律將無法支持你的訴訟請(qǐng)求."由此推知,直到有說服力的證明,這項(xiàng)原則才會(huì)將被告人視為無罪.故選C.
35.B  理解推斷題.根據(jù)最后一段可知,法律不是萬能的.一些老人選擇訛詐那些幫助他們的好心人,是因?yàn)樗麄儧]有醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn).為了避免類似事件,國(guó)家需要完善社會(huì)保險(xiǎn)體系.由此推知,下文最有可能去強(qiáng)調(diào)一種改進(jìn)的社會(huì)保障制度的必要性.故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文考察學(xué)生的理解推斷能力,抓住文章的關(guān)鍵詞,采用尋讀的方法查找細(xì)節(jié),能根據(jù)已知的結(jié)果推測(cè)導(dǎo)致結(jié)果的可能原因.

3.To change your habits successfully,you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits.For example,your old belief was:"I love cigarette because it (61)makes(make) me feel good and (62)relaxed(relax).I need cigarette to be happy and eased."If you keep this belief,you won't be able to keep your resolution(63)to stop (stop) smoking for very long.Instead,you should adopt this new belief:"I love yoga because it can make me strong and energetic while cigarette is poisonous (64)and destroys my body."You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won't stop you from changing your habits.(65)The same is true when you try to form positive habits.If you want to start eating healthy food,here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about:"Healthy food is very good (66)for my health.It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good."Everybody can change.All it takes is courage and (67)commitment(commit).Decide right now!To improve (68)your life by changing your habits.Take action right now!Don't be afraid.Yes,you will probably make mistakes along the way.But never forget (69)that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life.If you continue success (70)will be(be)yours.

1.Without any hesitation,he said,"I'd be better off dead."Hearing those words come out of my best friend's mouth tore my heart apart.He has repeated that phrase more than once,and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording.
    I met him about three years ago.After knowing me for six months,he told me about his struggles with depression.Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me;I was shocked.He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time.I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child,causing him to have suicidal(自殺的)thoughts.
    He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults,especially those in his family.Nevertheless,he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak.Therefore,when it comes to helping him,convenience is not in my vocabulary.It does not matter where I am or what I am doing,for he always comes first.
    Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting.As he sees it,other kids have every right to make fun of him.But no one holds such a right,so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly.When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices,I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally.Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.
    My best friend once told me that if he had not had me,he would not be alive.He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life.Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someone's life.With the fragility(脆弱)of life as it is,I believe in the necessity of encouragement.

56.According to the first paragraph,what the author's friend said made the author feelB.
A.puzzled      B.heart broken.C.frightened   D.hopeless
57.By saying"convenience is not in my vocabulary",the author meansA.
  A.he is always ready to help his friend
  B.he hardly spares time to help his friend
  C.he has no good excuse for refusing his friend
  D.he is not good at communicating with his friend
58.From the passage we learn that the author's friendC.
  A.had a happy childhood but everything changed later
  B.wanted to share his story but no one listened
  C.took it for granted that he was made fun of
  D.was always of sad appearance
59.What does the author learn from his experiences?B
  A.How to make a big difference to others.    B.The importance of encouragement.
  C.How to get rid of depression.              D.The necessity of security.
