While Jennifer was at hose taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor(監(jiān)控器)a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.
Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked — remotely — to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?
In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid— that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers.
Although online classes have existed for more than a decade ,the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses." Private colleges,public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field . spending millions of dollars to attract potential students,while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.
Aside from the web camers, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone number they once used.
Other programs can produce unique exam by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test question are answered at the same speed as easy ones, As in many university classes ,term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.
44.Some programs can find out possible cheaters by _____.
A.checking the question answering speed
B.producing a large number of question
C.scanning the Internet test question
D.giving difficult test question
41. Why was Jennifer watched in anonine exam ?

【圖式導讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章首段以一個具體的事例引出話題:網(wǎng)絡(luò)探頭與監(jiān)控器被用于網(wǎng)絡(luò)考試中,防止作弊。在接下來的部分中:接著介紹這種技術(shù)作為一項防止作弊的高精尖的技術(shù),對于網(wǎng)絡(luò)教育的意義,介紹網(wǎng)絡(luò)課堂的現(xiàn)狀、人們對于網(wǎng)絡(luò)作弊現(xiàn)象的憂慮以及來自網(wǎng)校的反應(yīng),介紹其他的防作弊手段。
快速掌握大意圖
段落 | 關(guān)鍵詞 | 大意推測 |
第一部分(Para. 1-2) | taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor, was watching her every move; Using a web camera equipped, the monitor, tracked | 以一個具體事例引出話題:網(wǎng)絡(luò)考試中,學員被遠程監(jiān)控。學員裝有網(wǎng)絡(luò)探頭,監(jiān)控器追蹤學員的任何行為。 |
第二部分(Para.3) | against cheating, the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty… of online education; Only with solid measures against cheating, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid | 這樣的技術(shù)是打擊作弊行為的高精類技術(shù),也是網(wǎng)絡(luò)教育鼓勵誠實的重要手段。只有擁有了如此強大的打擊作弊的措施,網(wǎng)絡(luò)大學的考試和學歷才有效。 |
第三部分(Para. 4) | online classes have existed for…,the concern over cheating…become sharper, spending… to attract potential students, taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance | 介紹網(wǎng)絡(luò)課堂的存在,人們對于網(wǎng)絡(luò)課堂作弊現(xiàn)象的憂慮,以及網(wǎng)絡(luò)教育的現(xiàn)狀:學校一面大力招生,一面采取措施確?荚嚨恼\信度。 |
第四部分(Para. 5—6) | Aside from the web camers,…other high-tech methods… increasingly popular. | 學校對于考試結(jié)果誠信度所采取的措施:除了使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)探頭,還有大量的其他高精尖的技術(shù)手段被廣泛應(yīng)用。(舉例) |
41. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞watched和exam定位信息于文章開頭處:文章首段描述了Jennifer在考試中被遠程監(jiān)控的一個事例。讀下文尋找原因。根據(jù)文章第三段首句:In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education.可以判斷D選項為正確答案。dishonest分別與原文中的cheating和honesty形成反義詞的復現(xiàn)。
42. A。語義理解題。根據(jù)本段首兩句In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology…確認該短語指的是一種技術(shù),四個選項中只有A出現(xiàn)了“技術(shù)”這個詞。再看下文,選項A中advanced technology為第五段中的high-tech methods的同義解釋,構(gòu)成語義上的復現(xiàn)。判斷A為正確答案。
43. A。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞exams and diplomas和valid定位于原文第三段末句:Only with solid measures against cheating…their exams and diplomas are valid,推斷:只有擁有了過硬的防作弊措施,這些網(wǎng)校大學才能夠才能夠表明他們的考試與學歷證明是有效的:學生們沒有通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)尋找正確答案。B選項“他們(各網(wǎng)絡(luò)大學)能夠打敗學術(shù)上的作弊(考試作弊)”。這里,defeat academic cheating為原文中against cheating同義表達,為復現(xiàn)關(guān)系。
44.A。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞Some programs和possible cheaters定位于原文末段首句。Other programs…and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test question are answered at the same speed as easy ones,可知:另外有一些程序可以通過分析難題和易答題是否在同等時間內(nèi)得到解答,辨別出可能的作弊者。判斷,A選項“檢查問題的答題速度”checking the question answering speed為原文analyzing…are answered at the…speed的同義轉(zhuǎn)述,故為正確答案。
45.主旨大意題。瀏覽全文,Cheating為高頻詞,Online Education亦在文中多次出現(xiàn)。結(jié)合圖式導讀及文章的話題,可以得出,全文由學員被遠程監(jiān)控的行為引出打擊網(wǎng)絡(luò)考試的作弊行為的主題。故,C“打擊網(wǎng)絡(luò)教育作弊行為”為正確答案。

Scientists are uncovering the secrets of two port cities lost under the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, a researcher said yesterday.
Herakleion and Menouthis were rich and proud cities until something reduced them to rubble (碎石) and buried them in the mud beneath 30 feet of sea water, French underwater explorer Franck Goddio said at the American Geophysical Union conference.
“This is a mystery that is ongoing,” said Goddio, a founder of the European Institute of Marine Archeology, a Paris-based underwater research organization backed by the wealthy Hilti Foundation of Liechtenstein(列支敦士登基金會).
The destruction of the twin port cities has haunted Goddio ever since he happened upon the site about 15 miles from Alexandria while exploring sunken ships from Napoleon’s fleet.
Goddio and his group of expert divers, marine archeologists(海洋考古學家) and others, are using high powered vacuums, satellite navigation systems and sophisticated sonar(聲納) to excavate(挖掘) the sunken cities from underneath a carpet of silt about one meter (three feet) high.
Walls of shops, remains of streets and gold artifacts have been found and recovered.
Some experts believe that the port cities were destroyed by a series of massive earthquakes, much like the quakes scientists believe felled Troy(特洛伊城), Jericho and other ancient cities. The uniform direction of the collapsed columns and walls suggest an earthquake, Goddio said, but no fault lines have been found nearby.
Other researchers believe a massive wave, caused by either an offshore earthquake or a distant underwater landslide, could explain the catastrophe. Still others think rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the cities.
“The argument, as you can see, continues,” Goddio said.
The reason why the two port cities disappeared under the waters of Mediterranean Sea is that ______.
A. the two port cities were destroyed by huge earthquakes
B. the disappearance of the two port cities was caused by underwater landslide
C. rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the cities
D. the story didn’t tell us at all
From the story we can draw a conclusion that _______.
A. the two port cities were famous for their wealth and the mystery
B. the two cities belonged to France
C. some mysterious creatures from other planets destroyed the two cities
D. the American Geophysical Union conference was once held in one of the two cities
This article is probably from _______.
A. a scientific magazine B. a report to the government
C. a school text book D. a scientific report in a newspaper

We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to 21 a car because we had sold the one we had in England before 22 home. Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was 23 . I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet 24 driving in this city, my wife did not want me to collect it 25 so we went together to 26 it. We paid for the car and 27 the papers. They told us that there was 28 petrol(汽油)to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The 29 garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there 30 . But when I turned into main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing 31 me. I got out of 32 as fast as I could by backing into the garage 33 and the man behind 34 me.
“It’s such a problem to 35 to drive on the right side, isn’t it?” my wife said. “Yes, if only I had had a few lessons for 36 .” I replied. “You had better go 37 on the way home,” my wife said. “You’d be sorry if you had 38 on the first day, wouldn’t you?” While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English,“ Would you mind telling me 39 you are thinking of leaving? 40 are you going to sit in your car all day?”
