4.Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast.He advertised for hired hands.Most people were(16)unwilling to work on farms along the Atlantic.They feared the awful(17)storms that spread across the Atlantic,damaging the buildings and crops.(18)As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job,he received many(19)refusals.
Finally,a short,thin man,well past middle age,(20)approached the farmer."Are you a good farmhand?"the farmer asked him.
"Well,I can(21)sleep when the wind blows,"answered the little man.
Although(22)puzzled by this answer,the farmer,(23)desperate for help,hired him.The little man worked well around the(24)farm,busy from dawn to dusk,and the farmer felt(25)satisfiedwith the man's work.then one night the wind howled(怒號(hào))loudly in from offshore.Jumping out of bed,the farmer took a lantern and(26)rushed next door the hired hand's sleeping room.He shook the little man and (27)cried,"Get up!A storm is coming!Tie things down (28)before they are blown away!The little man rolled over in bed and said(29)firmly,"No sir.I told you,I can sleep when the wind blows"(30)angered by the answer,the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot.(31)instead,he hurried outside to prepared for the storm.To his (32)surprise,he discovered that all of the haystacks(干草堆)had been covered with tarpaulins(帆布).The cows and the chickens were all in the(33)proper places,and the doors were fastened.The windows were tightly(34)secured.Everything was(35)tied down.Nothing could be blown away.The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant,so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.

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(guó)國(guó)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
42.What is the text mainly about?B
A.How to make space food               
B.The history of space food
C.A food incident in the Gemini capsule
D.The process of making space food.
