It’s five minutes before the exam and you are in a state of panic. You just have to pass it, but how? You didn’t even open the book the night before and you hear a voice in your head saying “Cheat, cheat ...” So what are you going to do, ignore it and fail or go for it? It’s a tough decision many students must make.
Most young people believe that cheating is wrong. However, they have cheated at least once in their high school years. So, why do they do it? Are they too lazy to study? Perhaps, it’s not as simple as that. According to some experts, one main reason why students cheat is that they see their friends get away with it. It’s an easy way out. They avoid embarrassment and their parents’ anger for not doing well in an exam. Another reason is that students think it’s OK to cheat if the subject isn’t important for their future career. What’s more, most students have to put up with the pressure of getting into university. They need to get good marks to carry on with their studies. This means that there will always be students who will do anything for a better mark.
It has never been easier to cheat than it is today. With all the technology available, students needn’t cheat by looking over their shoulders anymore. They use mobile phones to send answers to each other during a test. There is also the Internet. With hundreds of websites, students don’t have to worry because they can find lots of material which they can copy and use in projects. There are even tips on the art of cheating in exams.
Obviously, if you get caught cheating, you fail the exam or the subject. But it doesn’t really matter whether you get caught or not. What’s important is that it’s wrong. You mustn’t cheat because cheating is a lie. It deceives (欺騙) people into thinking you know more than you actually do. How can you be proud of something you have achieved through cheating? In the end, it’s not about deceiving your teachers and your parents, but about fooling yourself that you can do something you really can’t.
小題1:The tough decision that many students have to make before an exam is         .
A．whether to cheat or notB．what to do if they fail
C．how to cheatD．how to keep calm
小題2:According to the experts, why do some students cheat?
A．The subjects are important for their future.B．They are too lazy to study.

C．you give others a bad impression
D．your teacher will inform your parents
小題4:Which sentence best summarizes the whole text?
A．Cheating can be explained but not excused.

Running like the wind, roaring (咆哮) like thunder, tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world. But last week a report said that there are no more than 30 wild tigers left in south China.
This was the conclusion of a team of scientists from China's State Forestry Administration and the World Nature Fund.
The South China tiger, also known as the Chinese tiger, is native to southern China. In the 1950's, there were over 4000 tigers found in mountain forests in the country. But due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting, it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species.
Sixty­six of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around China. But they are nothing like their wild cousins. They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing. If they were set free they could not look after themselves.
“Breeding has damaged the quality of the species”, said Pei Enle, deputy director of the Shanghai Zoo.
To reintroduce the species into the wild, the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa. Four of them have already arrived. Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts(本能) and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base.
“South Africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild. The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in”, said Lu Jun, office director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center.“We tried in Fujian Province, but it was not successful as there was not a complete eco­chain(生物鏈) and there was a lack of space.”
The tigers should return to China in 2007 when the reservations in Fujian are ready.
小題1:What is the main reason for the South China tiger becoming one of the world's top ten most endangered species?
A．Because it has lost its natural instincts.
B．Because there is not a complete eco­chain.
C．Because there is no space for it.
D．Because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions.
小題2:How is the programme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on?
A．Its effect still remains to be seen.
B．Two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins.
C．Some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills.
D．The tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007.
小題3:By saying “but they are nothing like their wild cousins”，the writer means that________.
A．they are no longer feared by other wild animals
B．they don't know how to hunt or kill
C．a(chǎn) complete change has resulted in the species because of breeding
D．to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task
小題4:What is the purpose of sending young tigers to South Africa?
A．To help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild.
B．To provide them with a better environment.
C．To get the tigers to go on a tour.
D．To find a complete eco­chain for them.
小題5:Which one is NOT the reason for South Africa being chosen as the training place?
A．Because the tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base.
B．Because South Africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers.
C．Because there is a complete eco­chain and enough space there.
D．Because the country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in.

What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio­technology. With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today's leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.
In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
小題1:According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by ________.
A．diseases and agingB．a(chǎn)ccidents and war
C．a(chǎn)ccidents and agingD．heart disease and war
小題2:In the author's opinion, today's most important advance in technology lies in ________.
A．medicineB．the InternetC．brain cellsD．human organ
小題3:Humans may live longer in the future because ________.
A．heart disease will be far away from us
B．human brains can decide the final death
C．the basic materials of cells will last forever
D．human organs can be repaired by new medicine
小題4:How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?
A．Over 100 years.B．More than 120 years.
C．About 150 years.D．The passage doesn't tell us.
小題5:We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．Cells aren’t the basic units of all living things any more
B．humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now
C．much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life
D．we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells

Many of our favorite travel destinations are in danger of being changed badly by increased temperatures and rising seas. The following are some of the places that may be in danger and some that are already experiencing the effects of global warming.
The Everglades, Florida: Perhaps no region of the country is as unprotected to climate change as Florida. Even a slight increase in temperature and water level could devastate popular destinations like the Everglades, Miami Beach and the Keys.
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef: One of the most impressive natural habitats in the world, the Great Barrier Reef could be killed by increased water temperatures and the resulting coral bleaching (漂白法). Australia is particularly easily damaged by global warming because of its large number of fragile (脆弱的) ecosystems, uncertain water sources and a large group of people gathering on the coast.
Dalian, China: Fast-growing China, shown here during a heat wave last year, is opening about one coal factory every day this year. Along with the U.S., China is one of the world's leading contributors to the greenhouse gases , which can lead to the increase in the Earth's temperature.
Venice, Italy: No stranger to flooding, Venice has invested $4.5 billion in a floodgate system that is due to open in 2012. But the frequent changing ocean levels have made people question the floodgates' ability to hold out the rising waters.
London, England: Designed to protect London from storms and extremely high tides, the Thames Barrier was opened in 1984. Some analysts fear that rising oceans will create conditions beyond the capabilities the barrier was designed to meet.
小題1:The word “devastate” in paragraph 2 means “_____________”.
A．protectB．destroyC．swallowD．enlarge
小題2:What can endanger Great Barrier Reef directly?
A．Fragile ecosystem
B．Uncertain water sources.

Human beings have a natural desire to explore the unknown. People with a strong interest in space like to say it is the last place left to explore. But scientists are warning that space exploration for long periods is not going to be easy. They say the human body is not designed to stay in space over an extended period.
The New York Times recently published a report about scientists who are preparing astronauts for a trip to the Moon. The newspaper said the scientists want to make sure that their crews return home in good health. But there are many problems to be solved before people are ready for long trips to the Moon, an asteroid or even the planet Mars.
Humans developed on a planet with a surface that is more than 70 percent water. Our bodies are also about 70 percent water. When there is no gravity that water moves up toward the head, raising pressure in the skull. Arms and legs grow weaker at what is called zero gravity because they no longer need to push against the force of gravity.
Five years ago, astronauts who spent weeks in space reported a change in their eyesight. These astronauts were members of the crew on the International Space Station. Research showed a change in the shape of their eyes. Normally-round eyeballs had become flat during time in space. The research also showed that the right eye was affected more than the left, and that men were more affected than women. Scientists could not find an explanation for the differences.
Bone loss was one of the problems first reported by astronauts returning to Earth after longer stays in space. So scientists designed exercise machines to use on the space station. Tests showed that the exercise equipment helped space travelers keep their bones almost as strong as when they left Earth.
There are other health issues for astronauts who spend a long time in space. They may have problems eating and sleeping. But the biggest health issue is exposure to radiation. On Earth, human beings are protected by the atmosphere and the planet's magnetic field. In outer space, there is no such protection.
小題1:What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Long periods in space will affect the health of astronauts.
B．Scientists are trying to find out how to protect astronauts.
C．Space is dangerous to human beings.
D．People shouldn’t explore space.
小題2:What will happen to human bodies in space？
A．Arms and legs grow stronger at what is called zero gravity
B．Blood moves up toward the head.
C．Pressure in the skull will be raised.
D．All of the above.
小題3:The following are problems mentioned in the passage Except________.
A．bone lossB．loss of waterC．eyesightD．exposure to radiation
小題4:Why did scientists design exercise machines to use on the space station?
A．To make sure that their crews return home in good health.
B．To help astronauts keep their bones almost as strong as when they left Earth.
C．To help astronauts get ready for long trips to the Moon, an asteroid or even the planet Mars.
D．To let astronauts adapt to the environment of space.
小題5:What is true according to the passage?
A．The biggest health issue is exposure to Sunshine.
B．Research showed a change in the size of their eyes.
C．The right eye was affected less than the left.
D．Men were more affected than women.

Dyslexia（失讀癥）is a learning disorder, it interferes with the ability to recognise words, and for some readers to understand what they have read.
Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United State. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.
But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting（重新傳入） their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. The study suggests something that might help dyslexic people learn more quickly - play video games.
Vanessa Harrar of Britain's University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear. Doctor Harrar calls this a "sluggish shifting of attention across the senses."
"So, if you are trying to read something and then trying to listen to somebody who's reading aloud and you're trying to follow along with what they are reading -- they have to switch their attention from hearing what they are saying to looking at the piece of paper and back again. So we found they have quite sluggish shifting of attention across the senses," said Harrar.
In the study, Doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia, and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when they heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions.
She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time.
Doctor Harrar feels like playing action video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly.
"Video game types of things pop out of here and there, they move your eyes around the screen quite quickly in response to things quite quickly, and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing. So, the video game is really training the attention system to move quickly," said Harrar.
The study also shows that dyslexic people have the most difficulty going between what they saw and what they heard, this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read.
When children learn the alphabet，they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.
小題1:What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Video Games are good for children.
B．Study Suggests Video Games Might Help Dyslexics
C．A study about Video Games is being carried out.
D．Children with Dyslexics can learn better by playing video games.
小題2:People with Dyslexia have the following problems except_________.
A．writing or reading words and letters backwards in the wrong order.
B．redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something.
C．moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.
D．seeing a picture or hearing a sound.
小題3:What does the underlined word“sluggish”in Paragragh 4 mean？
A．slowB．wrongC．specificD．a(chǎn)ccurate
小題4:Why can playing video games help dyslexic people learn more quickly?
A．While playing video games, people will train their reading and hearing.
B．While playing video games, people will have a good knowledge of the system.
C．While playing video games, people should move their eyes around the screen quite quickly train the attention system to move quickly.
D．Video games can arouse their interest in reading.
小題5:What is the importance of the finding?
A．The finding will prove video games are not necessarily bad for children.
B．People with Dyslexia will be cured by playing video games.
C．People with Dyslexia will not be made fun of by others.
D．The finding may have an effect on the way to teach dyslexic children how to read.

Taking a picture of your tongue with a mobile phone could soon instantly tell you how healthy you are. Researchers believe the images can reveal important information about a patient’s health and even give them early warning of serious illness.
A team at the University of Missouri is developing a system that can analyze pictures using a 5,000-year-old Chinese principle, which is based on the flow and balance of positive and negative energies in the body, and uses the tongue as a key to learning about a person’s physical health, or “zheng” according to Chinese medicine.
“Within a year, our goal is to create an application for smart phones that will allow anyone to take a photo of their tongue and learn the status of their zheng,” said Dong Xu, chair of MU’s Computer Science Department in the College of Engineering and the co-author of the latest study.
The software analyzes images based on the tongue’s color and coating to distinguish between tongues showing signs of “hot” or “cold” zheng. Shades of red and yellow are associated with hot zheng, whereas a white coating on the tongue is a sign of cold zheng.
“Hot and cold zheng doesn’t refer directly to body temperature,” said Xu, “Rather, it refers to a series of symptoms associated with the state of the body as a whole.”
For the study, 263 gastritis(胃炎) patients and 48 healthy volunteers had their tongues analyzed. The gastritis patients were classified by whether they showed infection by a certain bacteria as well as the intensity of their gastritis symptoms. In addition, most of the gastritis patients had been previously classified with either hot or cold zheng. This allowed the researchers to test the accuracy of the software’s analysis.
“Our software is able to classify people based on their zheng status. And as we continue to work on the software we hope to improve its ability,” said another co-author Ye Duan, “Eventually everyone will be able to use this tool at home using webcams or smart phone applications, which will allow them to monitor their zheng and get an early warning about possible ailments.”
小題1: The software mentioned in the passage is based on ________.
A．the latest development of smart phones
B．a(chǎn) traditional Chinese medical principle
C．the changes in one’s flow and energy
D．symptoms related with the state of the body
小題2:According to Chinese medicine, zheng refers to ________.
A．one’s body temperatureB．the physical health of a person
C．the possible disease of a personD．the color and coating of one’s tongue
小題3:The study led by Dong Xu proves _________.
A．the effect of the software
B．the software’s great prospect
C．the advancement of smart phones
D．the greatness of Chinese medicine
小題4:The underlined word “ailments” can be replaced by _________.
A．a(chǎn)nalysisB．effectsC．illnessesD．a(chǎn)pplications
小題5:It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A．the software still needs improvement
B．the subjects in the study are all gastritis
C．the software has been in market for a year
D．the subjects in the study are classified by age

When 18th-century scientists first came across Australia’s platypus(鴨嘴獸), they thought it was a trick. It is not surprising that the platypus made people confused. This funny-looking animal has feet and is a kind of warm-blooded mammal.
While other mammals usually keep their blood at around 37 degrees, the platypus has a lower body temperature of 32 degrees. As to its appearance, the platypus’mouth is not really like ducks’at all; its mouth actually looks a bit soft. The platypus closes its eyes when swimming. It uses its mouth to pick up outside information made by the creatures underwater.
Strangest of all, the platypus is a mammal that can lay eggs. And there is only one other kind of mammal that can lay eggs, the echidna (針鼴鼠) of Australia. Both the platy-pus and the echidna lay soft-shelled eggs, and both feed their young with their own milk that comes out of their skin. These animals also walk in a way that is similar to crocodiles(鱷魚(yú)), with legs on the sides of their bodies rather than under them.
Though pretty, in a special way, the platypus is actually one of the few mammals that are poisonous. A male platypus has knife-like bones on its back legs which have enough poison to kill a dog.
The platypus has the honor of being one of the oldest mammals in the world. Until the early 20th century, it was hunted for its fur, but the situation has changed. Although the platypus is easily affected by pollution, it is not under any immediate threat.
小題1: What can we learn about the platypus according to the text?
A．It has a lower body temperature than other mammals.
B．It only closes its eyes when underwater.
C．It’s the only poisonous mammal in the world.
D．It feeds its young on wild animal meat.
小題2:Which of the following is NOT used as a comparison with the platypus in the text?
A．The crocodile.B．The echidna.C．The duck.D．The dog.
小題3:The following characteristics of the platypus have been described in the text EXCEPT ________.
A．its natural enemyB．its appearance
C．its walking poseD．its daily diet
小題4:We can infer from the last paragraph that the platypus _______.
A．is hunted for its meatB．is in danger of extinction
C．is endangered by air pollutionD．is well-protected now
小題5:Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A．Platypus, a Trick?
B．Platypus, the Only Warm-Blooded Mammal
C．The Characteristics of Platypus
D．The Strange Mammal —Platypus。
