第三部分 閱讀理解
(共15小題，每題2分，滿分30分)
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves 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 they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解決辦法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
56．The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _______.
A．it is unfair to other people    B．it does harm to their heath
C．teachers should punish them  D．teachers shouldn’t stop them at once
57．Some students like cheating mainly because_________.
A．the material in the test is very difficult
B．they want to do better than the others
C．cheating can make hard things seem very easy
D．they have little time to study their lessons
58．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.
A．cheating isn’t a good idea   B．why kids cheat in the test
C．some kids can’t pass the test without cheating
D．some kids don’t spend the time studying
59．We can learn from the passage______.
A．cheaters are often thought highly of
B．people show no respect for those who cheat
C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble
D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice
60．In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.

Computers might not be clever enough to trick adults into thinking they are intelligent yet, but a new study, led by Javier' Movellan at the University of Califomia San Diego, shows that a giggling (咯咯笑的) robot is clever enough to get toddlers (初學(xué)走路者) to treat it as a peer (同齡人).
The researchers stationed a 2-foot-tall robot Called QRIO in a classroom of a dozen toddlers aged between 18 months and two years. QRIO stayed in the middle of the room using its sensors (傳感器) to avoid bumping (碰撞) into the kids. It was programmed to giggle when the kids touched its head, to occasionally sit down, and to lie down when its batteries died.
"We expected that after a few hours, the magic was going to disappear," Movellan says.  "That's what was found with earlier robots." But, in fact, the kids remained interested in the robot over several weeks, eventually communicating with QRIO in much the same way they did with other toddlers.
The researchers measured the relationship between the children and the robot in several ways. Firstly, as with other toddlers,  they touched QRIO mostly on the arms and hands, rather than on the face or legs. For this age group, "the amount of touching is a good predictor of how you are doing as a social being," Movellan says.
The children helped the robot up when it fell, and when QRIO's batteries ran out and it lay down, a toddler would come up and cover it with a blanket and say "night, night". However, when QRIO was programmed to spend all its time dancing, the kids quickly lost interest. When the robot went back to its old self, the kids treated it like a peer again.
"The study shows that current technology is very close to being able to produce robots able to develop a special relationship with toddlers," says Movellan. But, he adds, it is not clear yet whether robots can interest older children or adults in the same way.
1. What does the underlined word  "stationed" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Hid.     B. Observed. C. Placed.   D. Named.
2. At the beginning of the experiment, researchers          .
A. feared that the robot would harm the toddlers
B. programmed the robot to move freely about the classroom
C. expected the robot to communicate with the toddlers
D. thought the toddlers' interest in the robot wouldn't  last long
3. Kids aged between 18 months and two years behave
as social beings by.
A. giggling  B: touching  C. toddling  D. dancing
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Giggling robot becomes one of the kids
B. Giggling robot used as a classroom assistant
C. Giggling robot makes kids more active in class
D. Giggling robot attracts more attention from kids

The TV shows a baby’s pram (嬰兒車) rolling off a train platform as the mother makes a mad rush to save her son, but she is too late and it falls onto the rails in front of an incoming train. This heart-stopping scene happened yesterday at Ashburton station in Melbourne, Australia. But the story has a happy ending: the six-month-old baby survived with just a cut on his forehead, although the pram was dragged about 35 metres by the braking train. The nurse Jon Wright said the boy just “needed a feed and a sleep” and didn’t need to stay in hospital.
“Luckily, he was strapped (綁) into his pram at the time, which probably saved his life. I think the child is extremely lucky, ” Wright told the Herald Sun newspaper after the baby was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Fortunately the train was already slowing down to stop at the station so it stopped quickly when the driver put on the brakes as soon as he saw the pram fall in front of him. Rail firm Connex is to look into how the pram rolled off the platform. The accident came one day after Connex started a child safety awareness activity warning parents to keep babies strapped into their prams at all times while on platforms.
The accident happened at the same time as the “balloon boy ”story in the US, in which a six-year-old Colorado boy was reported to be trapped in a flyaway balloon. However, he was later found hiding in the family’s garage. Many people believe that it had all been a publicity stunt by the parents. No such doubts surround the baby on the train platform.
小題1:In the accident, the baby           .
A．a(chǎn)lmost fell onto the rails
B．needed to stay in hospital
C．was badly injured by the train
D．was pulled a long distance in the pram by the train
小題2:The child was not killed most probably because        .
A．the mother strapped him into his pram
B．the platform is not very high
C．he was well fed and asleep
D．the mother rushed to save him
小題3:Why could the train stop quickly?
A．Because it had just begun to move.
B．Because it was moving slowly at that time.
C．Because the mother took measures quickly.
D．Because the driver saw the pram fall.
小題4:The underlined word “stunt” in the last paragraph probably means           .
A．something sillyB．something funny
C．something done to attract attentionD．something done to avoid bad luck

PAUL’S brother bought him a new car as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve (前夜), Paul saw a boy walking around the new car, admiring it.

Congratulations! You are the Time magazine "Person of the Year".
The annual honor for 2006 went to anyone that uses or creates content on the Internet. The  magazine designed special cover－a white keyboard with a mirror for a computer screen where buyers can see their reflection- for the issue, reflecting the importance of user-generated(使用者自創(chuàng)) Internet content as a driving force in the modem world.
User-generated content on websites such as YouTube has proved the latest twist(轉(zhuǎn)折) in the Internet revolution. YouTube has attracted millions of users and earned its founders $ US1.65 billion when it was bought by Google earlier this year.
Normally, the magazine describes its person of the year not necessarily as an honor, but as "the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill, and represented what was important about the year". Mr. Stengel said in an interview that to select the "Person of the Year" is to look for someone who's a symbol.
The magazine did cite(提名) 26 "People Who Mattered," from Chinese President Hu Jintao to a group of three persons that included: U.S. President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield.
It was not the first time that the magazine went away from naming an actual person for its
"Person of the Year". In 1966, the 25-and-under generation was cited; in 1975, American women were named; and in 1982, the computer was chosen.
In 2005, the winners were Bill and Melinda Gates and rock star Bono, who were cited for their charitable(慈善的) work aimed at reducing global poverty and improving world health.
65. "You", the Time magazine 'Person of the Year 2006', refers to________.
A. anyone who reads this magazine     B. anyone who surfs the Internet
C. anyone who knows the result of the selection  D. anyone who reads the passage
66. The fashionable character of the Internet revolution is________.
A. to search information on the Internet      B. to use the Internet to make money
C. to be cited for "Person of the Year"      D. to create content onto the Internet
67. The usual qualification of "Person of the Year" is that a person or persons must________.
A. do the most good to the world in the year    B. not live up to the expectation of the world     
C. really affect the world the most in the year  D. help the world move ahead in the year
68. Which of the following is true?
A. U.S. President Bush was cited for "Person of the Year 2006".
B. Chinese President Hu Jintao was cited for "Person of the Year 2006".
C. 'Person of the Year' must be a person or persons.
D. A rock star is unlikely to be cited for the "Person of the Year".

A
Maybe your class in school has given a play. People throughout the world like to act in plays. In Japan, actors perform in Kabuki plays. The word “Kabuki” is made up of three Japanese words meaning song, dance and ability.
Kabuki actors do not look like the actors in American plays. American actors dress and look like real people. In Kabuki plays, the actors wear bright-colored robes and wigs. Their robes are very large, and their wigs do not look like real hair.
American actors wear make-up, but their make-up does not often hide their faces. Kabuki actors paint their faces chalk white. They draw black eyebrows above their real eyebrows. They outline their eyes in black or red. Their mouths are bright red. They look as if they are wearing masks.
An actor performing in an American play must make his face look happy, sad or angry. Make –up helps the Kabuki actor show his feelings. If an actor is going to show anger, he paints dark blue or red lines on his face. His make-up makes him look angry.
