阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

    It has been more than twenty years since pioneering British computer programmer, Sir Tim Berners Lee, created the World Wide Web. But could he have ever imagined how much the web would change our lives? And would he approve of how some British students are taking advantage of his invention?

    Univesities and exam boards around the UK are becoming increasingly concerned with the rising number of cases of plagiarism, many of which are facilitated(助长)by the Internet access.

    In the UK most school and university students complete coursework throughout the academic year which contributes toward their final mark. In many cases coursework makes up the main part of the qualification. Since coursework is completed in the students’ own time it cannot be monitored by teachers in the same way as an exam.

Derec Stockley, director of examinations in the UK, explains, “Plagiarism affects coursework more than anything else, and in the cases that come to our attention, more and more are linked to the Internet.”

At a university level recent reports suggest that plagiarism has evolved from separate cases of individual cheating t o systematic and even commercial operation. Students can now pay for bespoke essays to be written for them by experts.

It is estimated that the market in online plagiarism is now worth 200 million pounds a year. Every month more and more websites offering to write students’ essays for them appear on the Internet.

Barclay Littlewood, owner of Degree Essays UK employs 3,500 specialist writers and charges between 120 pounds and 4,000 pounds per essay. However, Mr Littlewood refuses the accusation that he is helping students to cheat.

  1. (1) What does the underlined word “plagiarism” in Paragraph 2 mean in the passage?

      

    A . Cheating. B . Problems of the Internet. C . Learning pressure. D . Coursework.
  2. (2) Which of the following statements is mentioned by t he author?

      

    A . With the help of online plagiarism, students can write more creative coursework. B . There will be no problem if online plagiarism is a systematic and commercial operation. C . The Internet seems to have contributed much to the problem of online plagiarism. D . Teachers should lay more emphasis on exams than coursework.
  3. (3) It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to ______.


    A . blame Sir Tim Berners Lee for having created the World Wide Web B . worry about the quality of students’ coursework influenced by the World Wide Web C . be in favour of Littlewood's defence against the accusation of him D . have studied the problem of online plagiarism for nearly 20 years
  4. (4) Who should be blamed for online plagiarism?

    A . Barclay Littlewood. B . Sir Tim Berners Lee. C . Derec Stockley. D . Nobody.
  5. (5) The paragraph following the passage will most probably be abou t ______.

      

    A . the author's opinions of Mr Littlewood B . different people's opinions on plagiarism C . how students use the website of Mr Littlewood D . Mr Littlewood's defence against those who accused him of his website

      At thirteen,I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks,I could not.

      In my first literature class,Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it,all within 45 minutes.I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.”

     She glanced down at me through her glasses,“You are no different from your classmates,young man.”

     I tried,but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.

     In the quietness of my bedroom,the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person,Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education.But Louis didn't give up.Instead,he invented a reading system of raised dots (点),which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

      Wasn't I the “blind” in my class,being made to learn like the “sighted”students?My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed,I was no different from others;I just needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of his problems,why should I ever give up?

      I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith,so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words:“See what you can do when you keep trying?”

  1. (1) The author didn't finish the reading in class because ______.

    A . he was new to the class B . he was tired of literature C . he had an attention disorder D . he wanted to take the task home
  2. (2) What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

    A . He had good sight. B . He made a great invention. C . He gave up reading. D . He learned a lot from school.
  3. (3) What was Mrs.Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story?

    A . Angry. B . Impatient. C . Sympathetic. D . Encouraging.
  4. (4) What is the main idea of the passage?

    A . The disabled should be treated with respect. B . A teacher can open up a new world to students. C . One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts. D . Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

        My daughter Chloe is starting out in college in the fall. With her newfound independence will come the newfound responsibilities of dealing with money.Now I have a few lessons I'd like to share with Chloe, and with anyone else starting out in college.

OK,this is almost the only lesson you need. The biggest reason you get into money problems is that you spend money you don't really have. Then you end up in the hole, and it's hard to get out of the hole. You work too many hours to keep up with your spending. And you end up with a life that's about nothing but trying to pay for all the spending on something you don't really need.

        Make a very simple budget. It's a terrible thing for people who've never done a budget, but it will become very simple and easy if you know how to do it.If the bills add up to more than theincome, remove some bills. Pay bills right away. If you have the money, pay thebill as soon as it comes in. You can usually do this online, but if not, it's just a matter of writing a check, putting it in an envelope, and writing out an address—two minutes. If you let the bill­ paying get pushed back, it becomes a terrible thing.

      That's all you need to know. If you save when you're in college, avoid debt, and paybills on time, you're golden.

A.Why not enjoy your life in college?

B.Spend less than you earn.

C.So spend less, work less, worry less, be happier.

D.Like many young people, she hates thinking about money.

E.First, list your income, and then list your bills.

F.Find ways to get things done you need to get done.

G.Do this two­minute action at once, so you don't have toworry about it later.

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

      The “selfie” is used to describe the self­taken photo, often from a smartphone.Someone takes about 10 selfies each time he does, and he only ends up(post) one or two of those. He picks the one that he feels make him look the(good). In that picture, he gains confidence. For that moment, everything bad or terrible that has happened to him (remove), because that smile is what gives him the (determine) to love himself.

       I read poem recently and the young man said, “If I ask you you love,the answers will most likely roll off your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love your mom,your daughter,or your best friend. How long do you think you can go on and on before you say ‘I love (I)’?”

      That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I've struggled with confidence all my life. I still do. And in way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway confidence. , the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves.
