11、ou see Jeff pull out a small piece of paper with a lot of words on it. Jeff hides the note into his closed fist but soon takes it out again. While hes taking the test, you see him looking back and forth between the teacher and his paper. Theres no mistaking it-hes cheating. Cheating is when a person

12、 misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose. For kids, cheating may happen at school, at home, or while playing a sport. If a baseball team is for kids who are 8 or younger, its cheating for a 9-year-old to play on the team. At school, in addition to cheating on a test, a kid might cheat by

13、stealing someone elses idea for a science project or by copying a book report off the internet and turning it in as if its his or her original work. One is inclined to cheat because it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesnt solve the problem o

14、f not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test-unless the person cheats again. Sometimes it may seem like cheaters have it all figured out. They can watch TV instead of studying for the spelling test. But other people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters thems

15、elves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too. Some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids m

16、ight feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea. （分数：5.00）(1).Why did Jeff look at the teacher from time to time while taking the test? （分数：1.00）A.He was afraid that the teacher might find out what he was do

17、ing.B.He had a question for the teacher but was afraid to ask.C.He wanted to get the teachers attention.D.He wanted to hand in his paper as he was done with it.(2).According to the author, cheating _ . （分数：1.00）A.occurs mainly in test-related settingsB.can take on various forms and happen anywhereC.

18、usually happens when one is doing a science projectD.happens when we dont know the answer to a question(3).What cant cheating help to do? （分数：1.00）A.To pass examinations.B.To get a satisfactory score.C.To make difficult things easy.D.To really get the knowledge.(4).Which of the following statements

19、is closest in meaning to “cheaters have it all figured out” (Para.5)? （分数：1.00）A.Cheaters know they wont be caught.B.Cheaters make a plan in advance.C.Cheaters can reach a balance between work and play.D.Cheaters clearly know the consequences of cheating.(5).The main purpose of the passage is to _ .

20、 （分数：1.00）A.inform readers why people cheatB.predict possible consequences of cheatingC.persuade students to quit cheatingD.discuss different occasions when people cheatPassage Two Experts say over half of the worlds seven thousand languages are in danger of disappearing. Every two weeks one languag

21、e disappears. Sometimes a language disappears immediately when the last person speaking it dies. Or, a local language might disappear more slowly. This happens when an official language is used more often and children stop learning the local language of their parents. Official languages often repres

22、ent a form of control over a group of people. Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful group spreads across a civilization. The more powerful culture rarely respects the language and culture of smaller groups. Smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the culture in

23、power has a stronger influence. Experts say protecting languages is very important for many reasons. Languages contain the histories, ideas and knowledge of a culture. Languages also contain valuable information about local medicines, plants and animals. Many endangered languages are spoken by nativ

24、e cultures in close contact with the natural world. Their ancient languages contain a great deal of information about environmental systems and species of plants and animals that are unknown to scientists. As the last speakers of a language die off, the valuable information carried within a language

25、 also disappears. Language is, in many ways, a window to the mind and the world. Any hope for protecting languages can be found in children and their willingness to learn. It is these young people who can keep this form of culture alive for future generations. （分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following is

29、nly discusses _ . （分数：1.00）A.language and cultureB.the power of languageC.language protectionD.local languagesPassage Three Theres a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe the way a lot of us North Americans interact these years. And now a big resear

30、ch study confirms it. Barry Wellmans term is “networked individualism.” Its not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for networks. Heres what he means. Until the Internet an

31、d e-mail came along, our social networks involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time. But the latest study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project confirms

32、that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social interchange. A lot of folks Pew talked with say thats a good thing, because of concerns that the Internet was turning us into hermits(隐居者) who shut out other people in favor of a make-believe wo

33、rld on computer screens. To the contrary, the Pew study discovered. The Internet has put us in touch with many MORE real people than wed have ever imagined. Helpful people, too. Were turning to an ever-growing list of cyber friends for advice on careers, medical crises, child-rearing, and choosing a

34、 school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions. So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: were keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with jus

35、t the click of a computer mouse! （分数：5.00）(1).The Pew study was conducted in _ . （分数：1.00）A.Latin AmericaB.CanadaC.the United StatesD.Europe(2).In this passage, the network refers to a lot of connected _ . （分数：1.00）A.friendsB.peopleC.computersD.roads(3).Before the invention of the Internet, our conn

36、ections with people took place mainly _. （分数：1.00）A.in personB.by phoneC.by letterD.by e-mail(4).Which of the following has happened since the invention of the Internet? （分数：1.00）A.People talk on the phone more than ever.B.Much personal interaction has given way to computer interaction.C.Americans a

37、re getting more isolated.D.Americans have become more dependent on computers.(5).According to the Pew study, the role played by the Internet in human interaction is _ . （分数：1.00）A.neutralB.negativeC.unclearD.positivePassage Four President Obama has signed legislation to make the biggest changes in t

38、he health care system in forty-five years. Many parts of the plan will fully take effect in four years. But some take effect quickly. For example, in six months the new law will ban insurance companies from denying coverage to children with pre-existing health conditions. Adults with pre-existing co

39、nditions will be added in four years. The government will help millions of people pay for insurance. It will also permit millions more to receive free coverage through the Medicaid program for the poor. In all, the plan aims to make health insurance available to 32 million people now without it. Ill

40、egal immigrants will not be able to take part. An estimated 83% of people under 65 who are in the US legally now have insurance coverage. The plan is expected to raise that to 95% within several years. People over 65 are covered by the Medicaid insurance program which the government created in 1965.

41、 For the first time, Americans will be required to have health insurance or face a yearly fine starting in four years. The law will also require companies with more than 50 employees to offer coverage. If not, they could face a fine of $2,000 a year for every worker. Also, this year the law will sta

42、rt closing what is known as “the doughnut hole”. That is a lack of Medicaid coverage for some drug costs for older Americans. President Obama promised senior citizens that the reforms will not cut their guaranteed benefits. The changes are expected to cost about $940 billion over ten years, but also

43、 help reduce the federal budget deficit. （分数：5.00）(1).According to the new health care plan, which of the following will be added first into insurance programs? （分数：1.00）A.Employees of small companies.B.Adults with pre-existing health conditions.C.Poor people now without health insurance.D.Children
