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(敲诈) 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 本文主要介绍了一种社会现象.如果在路上看到一位老人摔倒,你扶还是不扶?这本来是一个非常简单的选择,但现在对很多人来说却是对价值观、人生观的巨大考验,因为伸出援手之后等待你的有可能是知恩图报,也有可能是恩将仇报.为了避免坏的事件,国家需要完善社会保险体系.
解答 32.B 细节理解题.根据第一段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.可知很多国人发现一些伤者其实是骗子.他们讹诈好心人把自己撞倒,倒打一耙,进而索取高额赔偿.由此推知,有时热心人被错误地指责为把别人撞倒在地上.故选B.
33.D 句意辨析题.根据第三段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?可知由于事故发生在监控盲区,双发都在寻找证人.当地公安局也在调查该事件.不过在这种两方各执一词,证据也只是双方证词的情况下,如何解决纠纷?由此推知,"both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names"的意思是"双方都在寻找能证明他们说真话的人".故选D.
34.C 细节推理题.根据倒数第二段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."可知叶林教授说"如果你指控他人对你造成伤害或损失,你就要收集支持自己诉讼的证据.如果你无法举证,那么法律将无法支持你的诉讼请求."由此推知,直到有说服力的证明,这项原则才会将被告人视为无罪.故选C.
35.B 理解推断题.根据最后一段可知,法律不是万能的.一些老人选择讹诈那些帮助他们的好心人,是因为他们没有医疗保险.为了避免类似事件,国家需要完善社会保险体系.由此推知,下文最有可能去强调一种改进的社会保障制度的必要性.故选B.
