9.How do you feel about watching other people work?
    Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work.
Right now,I'm sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling (打捆)the big field on top of the hill.She's been haying that field for over ten years.I know:I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old.
She picked a great day for baling.It's not too hot,and there's a nice breeze.On Monday,when she cut the field,it was so hot I thought the corn would start popping in the field.Didn't stop her,though.She just stuck that big hat on her head,wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck,and set to work.I remember when I would have done the same thing.
While I'm here sucking a lemonade,Beth is driving the"hay (干草)train",a tractor pulling a baler and an old wagon.You'd think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor.But somehow she manages.When she's finished,her tracks are very straight.
The whole time she's haying,that dog of hers is working just as hard,running along beside her like he's afraid she'll drive away without him.Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him.
The way the machine works is pure poetry.Each row is pushed into shape.When just enough hay is in a bale,it is wrapped up and fastened together.A second or so later,the bale comes flying out and into the old wagon.The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius.
That's not to say it works perfectly.Every once in a while a bale misses the mark,especially when you are turning the machine at the end of a row.That means,of course,that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon.
I can remember when Beth's mother was her age.She looked an awful lot like Beth does now. Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves.
Well,I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again.Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass.

    A.Beth's mother.                     B.Beth's father.
    C.Beth's grandmother.                D.Beth's grandfather.

58.In the eyes of the author,the sight of Beth baling hay isB.
    A.uncommon       B.beautiful      C.unforgettable      D.changeable
59.We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the authorC.
    A.bought the tractor for Beth      B.forced Beth to work at an early age
    C.worked in the field like Beth    D.trained the dog to help Beth work
60.It can be inferred from the story thatB.
    A.Beth is now twenty years old
    B.Beth trained her dog well
    C.the writer doesn't bother to give Beth a hand
    D.the writer enjoys drinking lemonade more than watching Beth working.

20.The Power of Good
It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son,Tenyson.As we were leaving,we realised that only minutes (33)earlier (early) an elderly woman had fallen and hurt (34)herself badly.She was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Fortunately,her husband was with her and many people had stopped to help out.Walking towards the scene,Tenyson became very upset about (35)what had happened to the elderly couple.He said to me,"(36)Falling (fall) over in front of everyone isn't much fun."
Near the entrance of the supermarket,a charity group had set up a stall selling flowers.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower."It will make her feel better,"he said.I was amazed that he would have this sweet idea,so I asked the flower seller if I (37)could buy a flower for the elderly lady because my son wanted to give it to her to cheer her up."Just take it,"she replied."I can't take your money for such wonderful gesture."
By then a nurse (38)had arrived (arrive),and was attending to the woman.As we walked up to her,Tenyson became frightened by all the blood and medical equipment.Instead I gave (39)the flower to the woman's husband.The old man thanked us both,then bent down and gave it to his wife,telling her who it was (40)from.Despite being badly hurt and shaken,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

2.Researchers around the world have been trying their hand at making better use of the huge amount of wind energy available in nature to produce clean energy.Apart from this,studies are being carried out to harness(利用) usable wind energy produced by man-made technologies.
One useful source identified by Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan about two years ago is a speeding train,which produces fierce wind that can be transformed into electricity.
According to Pradhan's proposal,with a few small improvements in existing trains running in Mumbai,the largest city in India,at least 10,000megawatts(兆瓦) of electricity could be harvested each day.
Building on this principle,designers Ale Leonetti Luparinia and Qian Jiang from Yanko Design have created a device(裝置) called T-Box that harnesses wind energy from speeding trains.
T-Box can be placed within the railway tracks.It is half-buried underground between the concrete sleepers(水泥枕木),which does not disturb the normal train operating at all.According to Yanko,around 150T-Boxes can be fitted along a 1,000-meter railway track.
A train running at a speed of 200kph can produce winds blowing at 15miles a second.Based on this calculation,150T-Boxes can produce 2.6KWH of electricity per day.The T-Box's design won a silver medal in last year's Lite-On Awards and was exhibited last summer at the Xue Xue Institute in Taipei,Taiwan Province.
Though the figures look impressive,it is important to remember that the design is still at a conceptual stage and hasn't taken into account issues such as pieces of waste material produced by the device and the efforts and costs involved in the maintenance(維護(hù)) of the device.
We can expect the technology to see the light of the day only after it clears these issues.If so,rail travel,one of the greenest forms of travel,will become greener and more energy-efficient.

46.What can we learn about T-Box?B
A.It will be fitted on the trains.
B.It is based on Pradhan's idea.
C.It can turn electricity into light.
D.It was invented by an Indian scientist.
47.How much electricity can be produced per day by T-Boxes along a railway track of 100km?A
A.260KWH.
B.2.6KWH.
C.150KWH.
D.1.5KWH.
48.It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs thatC.
A.T-Box has proved to be effective in harvesting wind
B.the maintenance of T-Box will be costly
C.there is much to do about T-Box
D.T-Box will come into use soon
49.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?B
A.The Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan invented the speeding train.
B.The T-Box's design won a silver medal in Lite-On Awards last year.
C.Rail travel has become one of the energy-efficient technologies in the world.
D.The India harvests 10,000megawatts of electricity each day on average.
50.The passage is mainly written toD.
A.encourage more people to travel by train
B.explain the advantages of electricity
C.tell readers how to save energy and money
D.introduce a new invention to readers.
