    Over the past decade, cheating—an act of academic dishonesty—has become more and more common.
    The latest statistics shows more than two thirds of high school students admitted cheating on an exam last year, and—even more surprising—often the best students cheat to get to the top of their class—and they don’t think it is wrong. It’s not a big deal. Everybody is doing it.
    It is a big deal! Cheating is basically wrong and must be punished.
    If students easily get away with it, they might be encouraged to do it again. They won’t realize that this—in the broadest sense—is an attack on our society, which is based on values like honesty and fairness. The present spreading of cheating indicates a loss of those values and cannot be tolerated. An appropriate punishment for cheating incidents would make students aware of their misbehavior.
    If no one were punished for cheating, who would ever study for an exam? Tons of papers would be lifted from websites, writing crib sheets would be more important than reviewing the subjects, and highly sophisticated cheating arts would be invented. Knowledge would only exist on the Internet and on cleverly created cheat sheets, but not in the minds of the students—a rather bad precondition to enrich our society wisely and intelligently.
    Students have to learn that they have to learn. Only doing what’s right will bring them a feeling of pride and accomplishment and create self-confidence—the building blocks for a successful and satisfying life and a society that keeps its values.
    小题1:What is more surprising is that       .
    A．cheating is very common in schools
    B．over 2/3 of the students cheat last year
    C．even the best students cheat on exams
    D．teachers are not aware of the problems
    小题2:How do they make the students realize their misbehavior?
    A．By letting them getting away with it.
    B．By telling them what is right.
    C．By catching them on the spot.
    D．By giving them some punishment.
    小题3:How can students create self-confidence?
    A．By knowing they have to learn.
    B．By doing what is right.
    C．By learning the right things.
    D．By being punished when cheating.
    小题4:What does the underlined word “lifted” mean?
    A．takenB．removedC．copiedD．written

    小题1:C
    小题2:D
    小题3:B

    Trying to make a big decision while you’re also preparing for a scary presentation? You might want to hold off on that. Feeling stressed changes how people weigh risk and reward. However, an article published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, suggests stressed people pay more attention to the positive sides of a possible outcome.
    It’s a bit surprising that stress makes people focus on the way things could go right, says Mara Mather of the University of Southern California. She co-wrote the review paper with Nichole R.Lighthall. “This is sort of not what people would think, ” Mather says. “Stress is usually associated with negative experiences, so you’d think, maybe I’m going to be more focused on the negative outcomes.”
    But researchers have found that when people are under stress, they start paying more attention to positive information and discounting negative information. “Stress seems to help people learn from positive feedback and impairs（削弱）their learning from negative feedback, ” Mather says.
    When people under stress are making a difficult decision, they may pay more attention to the good sides of the alternatives they’re considering and less to the problems. So someone who’s deciding whether to take a new job and is feeling stressed by the decision might focus on the increase in salary more than the longer commute（上下班往返）.
    The increased focus on the positives also helps explain why stress plays a role in addictions. People under stress have a harder time controlling their urges. “The compulsion to get that reward comes stronger and they’re less able to resist it,” Mather says. A person who’s under stress might think only about the good feelings they’ll get from a drug, while the downsides shrink into the distance.
    Stress also increases the differences in how men and women think about risk. When men are under stress, they become even more willing to take risks; when women are stressed, they get more conservative(保守的). Previous research backs this up — men usually react to difficulties while trying to fight them or escape them; women try to find friends and improve their relationships.
    小题1:By saying “You might want to hold off on that” in the first paragraph, the writer suggests that      .
    A．you might want to delay making your big decision
    B．you should save the presentation for later
    C．you should avoid taking risks
    D．you might benefit from the stress
    小题2:From the article, we can conclude that stress       .
    A．often leads people to take more risks
    B．often leads people to make balanced decisions
    C．makes people think more of negative results
    D．makes people ignore the negative side of problems
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
    A．Stress is helpful in getting rid of addictions.
    B．People who are addicted to drugs are easily stressed.
    C．When women are stressed, they do not tend to take risks.
    D．When men are stressed, they are more likely to develop an addiction.
    小题4:What is the central theme of the article?
    A．Stress can affect decision-making.
    B．Stress increases our desire to get rewards.
    C．We should think more about the upside of problems.
    D．There is a link between stress and negative experiences.

    In Wiltshire, England, volunteers are being sought to visit a nature protection area to count the butterflies living there and on surrounding fields. The project is promoted by all environmental protection organization, which has contributed to improving the living environment for wild animals. Recently, the organization has issued an appeal to help it observe environmental changes based on the record of butterflies and protect the environment.
    In the area, the local people have planted many special flowers with the help of the organization, aiming to see whether these flowers will interest the rare and beautiful butterflies. The project officer Sarah Marshall says,“It will be a suitable habitat (栖息地) for butterflies. They are great‘indicator species’ as they are easily affected by climate changes so they make a brilliant early-warning system for the environment.” She also points out that volunteers are needed to record the number or species of butterflies, and based on the change happening to the butterflies, the hidden environmental problems in the area can be found out in time.
    The organization is seeking volunteers to help monitor butterflies from April through to September. They will walk a fixed route and record the different butterflies they encounter along the way. Each visit should take no more than two hours, and each volunteer is expected to visit once a month to count the wildlife. “Staff will provide back up, so if the weather is poor on the day you are to visit (butterflies don’t like to fly in the rain, wind or if it’s too cloudy) we can have someone else do your job,” Sarah points out.
    No previous experience is necessary as training and support will be provided, but a keen interest is essential. If you are interested please contact Sarah on (01380) 725670, ext 278, email—sarahm @ wiltshirewildlife. org.
    小题1: According to Paragraph 1, what is the purpose of the Project?
    A．To appeal to more visitors
    B．To protect the environment
    C．To control butterfly population
    D．To expand the area for wildlife
    小题2:Butterflies are called “indicator species” because _______.
    A．they can provide support for visitors
    B．they can give information to other species
    C．they are not easily found out in their habitats
    D．they are very sensitive to environmental changes
    小题3:Volunteers are required to do the things EXCEPT __________.
    A．having some special previous experience
    B．being interested in protecting the environment
    C．walking a regular route and do some recordings
    D．visiting the nature protection area once a month
    小题4:What is the text mainly about?

    Still waiting for little green men to make contact? Don't hold your breath.
    A leading astronomer has concluded there probably aren't any aliens out there – meaning we are absolutely alone in the universe.
    Even though there may be tens of thousands of other distant planets similar in size to Earth, the conditions on them are likely to be too hard to support life-forms such as ET.
    Dr Howard Smith, a senior astrophysicist at Harvard University, believes there is very little hope of discovering aliens and, even if we did, it would be almost impossible to make contact.
    So far astronomers have discovered a total of 500 planets in distant solar systems – known as extrasolar systems – although they believe billions of others exist.
    But Dr Smith points out that many of these planets are either too close to the sun or too far away, meaning their surface temperatures are so bad that they could not support life. Others have unusual orbits which cause vast temperature variations, making it impossible for water to exist – the most important thing for life.
    Dr Smith said, "We have found that most other planets and solar systems are wildly different from our own. It means it is highly unlikely there are any planets with intelligent life close enough for us to make contact." But his suggestions contradict other leading scientists who have claimed aliens almost certainly exist.
    Only last month Professor Stephen Hawking said the fact that there are billions of galaxies out there made it reasonable to think there were other life-forms in the universe.
    Researchers from the University of London have recently suggested that aliens could be living on as many as 40,000 other planets. But Dr Smith said: "Any hope of contact has to be limited to a relatively tiny space around the Earth, reaching maybe 1,250 light years out from our planet, where aliens might be able to pick up our signals or send us their own. But communicating would still take decades or centuries."
    小题1:By saying ＂don’t hold your breath＂, the author advised the reader not to _____.
    A．keep silentB．give upC．expect soD．be afraid
    小题2:Dr Smith concludes there probably aren’t any aliens because other planets _____.
    A．are too far away from the earth
    B．are different from the Earth in size
    C．don’t have rich natural resources
    D．don’t have a suitable living environment
    小题3:Researchers from the University of London are mentioned to show that ______.
    A．they have better explanations about aliens
    B．aliens certainly exist on many planets
    C．they disagree with Dr Smith’s suggestion
    D．aliens can pick up signals from the earth
    小题4:What’s the main idea of the text?
    A．There must be other life forms in the universe.
    B．We can communicate with aliens in decades.
    C．The chances of finding aliens are slight.
    D．Many other planets are quite different from the Earth.

    Many ESL (English as a Second Language) students in the United States enroll in (注册学习) academic preparation programs and are in their late teens or early twenties. This is often a time when students are looking back on childhood in a different way. Their childhood memories and their viewpoint on those memories can be very useful for the production of wonderfully creative writing.
    For this project, the students began in class by closing their eyes and trying to return to their childhood years in order to bring early memories to their mind. After imagining for a few minutes, they began to tell each other what they remembered about those years and tried to describe a particular incident that stood out in their memories.
    That evening they wrote in their journals about the incident, embellishing (润饰) the story as much as possible. The next day, they read the story to a different partner and got feedback (反馈意见). The partner’s job was to: ask more questions to bring back the writer’s memory; help the writer make sure that past tense verbs were used correctly, focusing on the difference between those things that were still true and needed present tense and those things that belonged specifically to the past. Two days later, students made necessary changes or additions and turned in a typed copy of their story. I then made my own comments about their work and asked them to revise their work. The third draft (稿子) produced some very good work.
    小题1:The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _____.
    A．show readers the difficulty he had in his work
    B．explain his idea of English learning
    C．show readers how ESL students live and study
    D． tell readers how he taught his ESL students to write
    小题2:What did the author ask his students to write about?
    A．What they saw around them.
    B．Their predictions for the future.
    C．Their childhood memories.
    D．Their opinions of the United States.
    小题3:In what order do the students write their compositions according to the passage?
    a. share their writing with their classmates
    b. exchange their memories
    c. write their stories
    d. ask for others’ feedback
    e.  make some changes to their compositions and have them typed
    f.  corrected by the teacher
    g.  recall their stories
    A．g-b-c-a-d-e-fB．g-c-a-d-b-f-e
    C．e-f-b-c-a-g-dD．d-e-f-g-a-c-b
    小题4:A partner may help do the following things EXCEPT _____.
    A．make the memory more complete
    B．find spelling mistakes
    C．check the tense of the verbs
    D．give some feedback

    Have you dreamed of traveling to cool places, meeting different people, and maybe picking up a language or two? No matter which country you live in, you can fly over the world’s highest waterfalls in Venezuela, study in France or take dancing lessons in Ghana. Besides the excitement of traveling, there is another reason to study abroad. "Obviously, I learned the language and am now fluent, but perhaps what’s more important was how much I learned about cultures, people, and myself." said Andrew, who studied in France.
    Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000! Christina said she learned how to better speak for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language. What could make you more confident than that?
    Living away from home can also help you become adapted to the transition (过渡) to college and adulthood. Matthew said that he returned from studying in Australia with confidence, and a real interest in international affairs. "After having gone abroad in high school, I found the transition to college was a breeze — moving 560 miles from home didn’t seem difficult at all after having lived thousands of miles away. "
    Speaking of college, improving your language skills might help you get into ideal colleges and even land future jobs. Colleges and employers know that studying abroad provides leadership skills in a world that needs much communication. Most of all, it’s fun! You won’t suffer from the general boredom (单调) while you’re studying in a different learning environment.

    C
    All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children. That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking. Years of experience means that parents often do know best, but on the other hand the young, being less bound by tradition, are often more creative, more able to find new solutions to old problems. Revolutions are led by the young.
    Good teachers make the growth of critical thinking (批判性思维) easier in their students, only to find that this lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs. Schools encourage parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have doubts about some of the educational methods being used. Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process. And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies or decisions of that same government. However, the rebellious (叛逆的) young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent in their demands, but their voices must be heard.
    Good parents know that just forbidding (禁止) particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. Indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, just because it is not accepted by authority. Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about the lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them. But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.
    小题1:By saying “Revolutions are led by the young.”, the author indicates that young people are more _______.
    A．conventionalB．realisticC．creativeD．heartbreaking
    小题2:From the second Paragraph we know ________.
    A．teachers’ basic beliefs should be questioned by students
    B．schools encourage parents to question their education methods
    C．government is satisfied with the new leaders’ attack on the policies
    D．the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government
    小题3:In order to educate children well, parents should _______.
    A．forbid particular behaviors in their daily life
    B．know them well and set a good example to them
    C．educate them with facts and expect much of them
    D．know as much as possible about their children
    小题4:From the passage we can learn that the author prefers _______.
    A．free parenting B．traditional parenting
    C．critical parentingD．smart parenting
    小题5:What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Letting Go – for Children’s Independent Life
    B．Parents’ Task – in Children’s Development
    C．Way of Growth – for the Young Groups
    D．Teaching Methods – for Teachers and Schools
