5、I was walking down．darkly lit street late one, evening when I heard ambiguous screams coming from behind bushes．Alarmed, I  1  to listen, and panicked  2  I realized that what I was hearing were the, definite sounds．of  a  3   ：heavy noise, and tearing of cloth．

       A woman was being attacked． Should I get  4   ?I was frightened for my own   5 , and blamed myself for having  6  decided to take a new route home that night．Shouldn't I just unto the nearest phone and call the  7 ?

       Although it seemed an extremity（漫長）,the deliberations in my head had  8  only seconds, but already the girl's cries were growing   9  I knew I had to act fast．How  10 I walk away from this? No, I finally determined, I could not turn my back on the  11  of this Unknown woman, even if it meant  12   my own life．

       I am not a brave man, nor am I athletic．I don't know where I found the moral  13    and physical strength- but once I had finally determined to help the girl, I became strangely   14  I ran behind the bushes and pulled．the attacker  15   the woman．Grasping, we fell to the ground, where we wrestled for a few minutes until the man jumped up and escaped．

       Breathing hard, I stood upright and   16  the girl, who stayed down behind a tree, sobbing．In the darkness, I could barely see her outline, but I could certainly  17  her trembling shock．Not wanting to frighten her further, I  18  spoke to her from a distance．"The man ran away．You're safe now．’’There was a long pause and then I heard the words, said in wonder, in 19  ." Dad, is that you?" And then, from behind the tree, out  20  my youngest daughter, Katherine．

4、My parents influenced us with the concepts of family, faith and patriotism when l was  young．Even though we struggled to make ends meet, they stressed how fortunate we were to - live in a great country with limitless opportunities．

       I got my first real job when l was ten．My dad, Benjamin, injured his back working in a  cardboard - box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist． He rented space in a little mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr. Ben's Coiffure．

       The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a．m．To pick up trash,  Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower．Mom and I emptied garbage cans and picked up litter by hand．It took two to three hours to clean the lot． I'd  s1eep in the car on-the way home．I did this for two years, but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime, I acquired' discipline and a strong work morality, and learned at an early age the importance of balancing life's competing interests---in my case, school, homework and a job．This really’ helped during my senior year of high school, when l worked 40 hours a week flipping hamburgers, at a fast – food joint while taking a full load of college - prep courses． The hard work paid off ．I attended the U．S．Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degree  in law and business from Harvard．Later, I joined a big Los Agnates law firm and was elected to the California state assembly．In these jobs and in everything else I’ve done, I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot．The experience taught me that there is dignity in all work and that if people are working to provide for themselves and their families ,that is something we should honor．

3、A new study in West Africa shows how farm irrigation systems powered by the sun can pro-duce more food and money for villagers．The study-in Benin found that solar - powered pumps are effective in 8upplying water, especially during the long dry season．

       Sub - Saharan Africa is the part of the world with the least food security．The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that more” than one billion of the world' s people faced hunger last year．Around 265 million of them live’ south of the Sahara Desert: Lack of rainfalls one of their main causes of food shortages．

       Jennifer Bumpy from Stanford University in Califomia led the study．The research team helped build three solar - powered drip irrigation -（滴灌）,systems in northern Benin．Between 30 and 35 women used each system to pump water from the ground or a stream．Each woman was responsible for farming her own 120 squire meters of land． They also farmed other land  collectively．

       The solar - powered irrigation systems produced an average of nearly two tons of vegetables per month． During the first year, the women．kept a monthly average of almost rune kilograms of vegetables for home use．They sold the surplus produce at local markets． The earnings greatly increased their ability to buy food during the dry season which can last six to nine months．People in the’ two villages with the systems were able to eat three to five more servings of vegetables per day．But making the surplus available at markets also had a wider effect．

       The study compared the villages with two others where women farmed with traditional methods like carrying water in buckets．The amount of vegetables eaten in those villages also increased, though not as much．The researchers note that only four percent of the cropland in sub - Saharan Africa is irrigated．Using solar power to pump water has higher costs at first．But the study says it can be more economical in the long term than using fuels like gasoline, diesel or kerosene．And solar power is environmentally friendly．

       A．lack of rainfall                          B．limitation of farmland

       C．a(chǎn)ll farmers use irrigation systems in northern Benin

       D．the solar - powered systems take up more manpower

3．The underlined word "surplus" in the 4th paragraph most probably means

       A．special           B．unnecessary        C．extra                 D．a(chǎn)bandoned

4．Using．solar power to pump water has advantages EXCEPT that

       A．solar energy has higher cost at first

       B．solar power helps to protect environment

       C．solar power helps farmers increase earnings

       D．solar energy can be more economical in the long run

5．What can be the best title for the text?

       A．Manpower affects rainfall in Africa

       B．Irrigation by carrying water in buckets

       C．Solar - powered pumps aid African farmers

       D．Vegetable supply increased in African villages
