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.

A.puzzled      B.heart broken.C.frightened   D.hopeless

  C.took it for granted that he was made fun of
  D.was always of sad appearance

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.

9.What do astronauts eat in space,and why?How did astronaut food come into being?How do astronauts preserve food for long periods of time in space?NASA(the National Aeronautics and Space Administration)(美國國家航空航天局)has been researching food for space travel since the 1960's to find the best way of keeping astronauts from going hungry.
    The research could date from an accident that took place on the first manned Gemini mission in 1965.a(chǎn)stronaut John Young managed to sneak(偷偷地拿)a corned beef sandwich onto the GeminniⅢcapsule to eat during its orbit around Earth.To Young's surprise,the sandwich plan did not go as expected; instead the sandwich began to break apart and scatter(散開)through the GeminniⅢcapsule.This could have resulted in disaster,since a small piece of food could have stuck in the air vents(通風(fēng)孔)and other equipment.The sandwich was stuffed into a pocket to avoid the further mess insid e the small space capsule This incident caused NASA to enforce strict rules on what types of food can be taken into space.
    Space food has come a long way since then.During the Gemini period,the astronauts mostly ate cubed,compr essed foods(壓縮食品)high in calories and lightweight.
    NASA expects a long shelf life for space food.The majority of food taken into space has been dried out or heat-treated.These process and use of sodium(鈉),make the food taken into space last longer.Research is ongoing into space food to seek out healthier ways to preserve it.Too much sodium is unhealthy,and can badly change the taste of some foods.

39.What happened to John Young in the G eminniⅢcapsule?B
A.His sandwich went bad as expected
B.He couldn't eat the sandwich he had bought
C.His sandwich caused trouble to some equipment
D.He filled his pocket with the sandwich.
40.Why has NASA set up strict rules on the space since the 1960's?A
A.To protect the astronauts'safety
B.To provide enough food for astronauts
C.To limit how much junk food astronauts eat
D.To make it easy for astronauts to get enough nutrition
41.The majority of the space food is dried out or heat-treated in order toD.
A.keep astronauts healthy                  
B.keep it from breaking apart
C.change its taste                     
D.make it last longer
