8．In a very special course at Knnet School，the social-science teacher Adam Smith guides his students through the"married life"．Unlike the traditional course，Adam makes his students experience the real problems married ones may face like housing and child care．"No one tells kids about money-managing problems，"says Adam．
Each student should act out in ten weeks what normally takes couples ten years to finish．In the first week，one member of each couple is asked to get an after school job-a real one．During the term，the income rules their life-style．In the third week，the couples must find an apartment they can afford．
In the fifth week，the couples"have a baby"and then struggle to cover the costs of baby clothes and furniture．In week eight，the marriage comes to the breaking point by such disaster as a mother-in-law's moving in or death．It's all over by week ten （the tenth year of marriage）．After serious discussion with lawyers about alimony （贍養(yǎng)費(fèi)） and child support，the students get divorced （離婚）．
Adam's course，which has"married"1，000 students since its beginning six years ago，is widely supported by parents and students．Some of the students have found the experience making them realize their real life marry plans are wrong．Marianne Baldrica，16，who tried"marriage"last term with her boyfriend Eric Zook，15，said，"Eric and I used to get along pretty well before we took the course together．But I wanted to live in the city，he wanted the country．He wanted lots of kids，I wanted no kids．It's been four weeks since the course ended and Eric and I are just starting to talk to each other again．"
28．What is the aim of Adam's course？D
A．To tell students how to find a good partner．
B．To teach students how to manage their money．
C．To help students act as wives and husbands well．
D．To show students the problems in real marriage life．
29．What will happen in the eighth week？C
A．The couples will have a baby．
B．The couples will have to find a flat．
C．The marriage will come to the breaking point．
D．The husband will have to find a real job．
30．After taking the course，Marianne willD．
A．choose to live in the country
B．break up with her boyfriend at once
C．a(chǎn)sk their teachers and parents for help
D．have a better understanding of marriage
31．Where does the text probably come from？A
A．A newspaper report．
B．A library guide．
C．A science book．
D．A project handbook．

29．答案C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段中"In week eight，the marriage comes to the breaking point by suchdisaster as a mother-in-law's moving in or death．"很容易得出，第八周的時候婚姻面臨破裂．答案C正確．．
30．答案D．推理判斷題．文章最后一句"It's been four weeks since the course ended and Eric and I are just starting to talk to each other again．"（自從課程結(jié)束已經(jīng)四個星期了，Eric和我才剛剛又開始講話．）．可看出他們沒有因為參加課程而分手，相反的，她會對婚姻有更全面的認(rèn)識．故選D．
31．答案A．推理判斷題．文章給讀者介紹了一個很特別的課程，以通過這樣的課程讓青少年對婚姻有更好的認(rèn)識．屬于社會想象類短文，這樣的文章在4個答案中最可能出現(xiàn)在報紙上．故選A．

點(diǎn)評 解答任務(wù)型閱讀理解題，首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意．因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標(biāo)題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料．其次，細(xì)讀題材，各個擊破．掌握全文的大意之后，細(xì)細(xì)閱讀每篇材料后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時，要有較強(qiáng)的針對性．對于捕獲到的信息，要做認(rèn)真分析，仔細(xì)推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對題目要求，才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn)．

19．October 15th is the Global Handwashing Day．Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap．For example，donors（捐贈者） will give 150，000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia．
Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day，but very few use soap at so-called important moments．These include after using the toilet，after cleaning a baby and before touching food．
Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap．Partners include the United Nations Children's Fund，American government agencies，the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble．The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germ（細(xì)菌）．They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap．Rub it into all areas，including under the fingernails（指甲）．Rub for at least twenty seconds．Then rinse well under running water．Finally，dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air．
The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands．Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs．And it usually leaves a pleasant smell．The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine（疫苗）or medicine．Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases．When people get germs on their hands，they can infect（感染）themselves by touching their eyes，noses or mouths．Then they can infect others．
49．What's the best title for this passage？C
A．Say no to washing hands in the wrong way．
B．Find out why washing hands carefully is so important．
C．Hand washing：so important----it gets a day of its own．
D．Want to live a longer life？-wash your hands．
50．The word"rinse"in Paragraph 3 probably meansB．
A．to dry your hands   
B．to wash away the soap
C．to rub your hands carefully  
D．to clean your fingers
51．The last paragraph mainly tells usB．
A．how to wash your hands correctly
B．why washing hand with soap is so important
C．the dangers of washing hands without soap
D．when we should especially wash our hands with soap
52．In which part of newspaper would you most probably read this passage？C
A．Medical care     B．Public service       C．Health report     D．Advertisement．

17．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．

12．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．
13．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．
14．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．
15．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．
