1.Taking an exam has an evil twin called"cheating".And some Chinese and South Korean high school students have recently had a real taste of its bitterness(痛苦).
    They took the SAT,the US version of the college entrance exam,on Oct.11,expecting to get their results on Oct.30.However,what they found in their mailbox was an email saying that their test scores would be reviewed and delayed for up to a month because of accusation(指控) of cheating.An international official said that some students at the test centers in Asian countries had been caught checking their smart phones to get answers to SAT questio n while taking the exam.
     The incident has gotten worldwide attention as China and South Korean are the top two supplies of foreign university students in the US.If the cheating is confirmed,those students'scores could be cancelled,which worried many students,as Oct.11's test was the last SAT test this year and early applicants to US universities were due on Nov.1.
     However,the College Board,which developed the SAT,said that the review was to make sure that test-takers received valid(真實的) scores.Meanwhile,universities such as George Washington University have said that a delay in score reporting would not disadvantage applicants from those countries.
     Although there are more than 1,000 testing centers outside the US in more than 175 countries,the only testing allowed in China is at international schools,which means most Chinese students have to go to Hong Kong or another country to take the SAT.
      The problem of cheating in exams isn't unique to China.Last May,the College Board canceled an SAT testing date in South Korean after tutoring (輔導)companies were suspected to have illegally gotten SAT testing materials before the test.In 2011,twenty US students were arrested in Long Island,New York for hiring other students to take the SAT for them.

35.Why didn't the students get their test results on Oct.30?A
A.Because some students were dishonest in the exam.
B.Because some were accused of copying others'answers.
C.Because they did very badly in the exam.
D.Because they received the wrong email.
36.What may happen if the cheating is proved?C
A.They will lose many points.
B.The exam will be canceled for ever.
C.They will not be admitted to US universities.
D.They will be arrested by the US police.
37.If the scores prove valid,their admissions will be            according to the George Washington University.D
A.canceled         
B.delayed     
C.advanced        
D.unaffected
38.How many cases of cheating are ment ioned in the passage?B
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了中國和韓國的學生被指控在SAT中用智能手機作弊事件,美國決定對這次測試的成績進行審查,但多數(shù)美國高校也表示,如果確認成績真實,不會影響這些學生的錄取.

解答 35.A.細節(jié)理解題:根據(jù)文章第一段"However,what they found in their mailbox was an email saying that their test scores would be reviewed and delayed for up to a month because of accusation(指控) of cheating"可知,由于被指控作弊,所以他們的測試成績會進行審查,延遲長達一個月的時間;故選A.
36.C.細節(jié)理解題:根據(jù)"If the cheating is confirmed,those students'scores could be cancelled,"可知,如果作弊被證實,那些學生的分數(shù)將會被取消,他們將不會被錄取到美國的大學.故選C.
37.D.推理判斷題:根據(jù)"universities such as George Washington University have said that a delay in score reporting would not disadvantage applicants from those countries."喬治華盛頓大學等高校都表示,成績報告的延遲不會損害這些國家的申請人,可知,如果分數(shù)是真實的,他們的錄取不會受到影響.故選D.
38.B.細節(jié)理解題:通讀全文,有三個作弊案例被提到"the US version of the college entrance exam""an SAT testing date in South Korean""In 2011,twenty US students were arrested in Long Island,New York".故選B.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

13.Scientists from the United States say they have found fish and other creatures living under key waters in Antarctica.They made the announcement after completing three months of research at the Ross Ice Shelf,the world's largest floating ice sheet.
The researchers hoped to find clues to explain the force of the melting ice and its effect on sea level rise.Reed Scherer and Ross Powell are with Northern Illinois University in DeKalb,Illinois.They just finished up their research on our southernmost continent.Money for the project came from America's National Science Foundation.
"We chose a study site where,in the first year,We went into the subglacial (冰川下的)lake and tried to understand the environment in there,both ecologically and in terms of the ice dynamics about how the lake operates,and how the sediment(沉淀物) underneath the ice sheet operates,as well,because it's the water and the sediment underneath the ice that controls how fast the ice is flowing into the ocean"says Ross Powell,who led the investigation.The team included scientists,engineers,machinery and other supplies across the ice from the main U.S.scientific base at Mc Murdo Station to the researcher's camp.The camp  was near a subglacial lake,where an earlier study took place,
Ross Powell says the latest study may provide evidence that can help predict the effect of climate change on rising sea levels.
"What we have found is that these are very sensitive areas to the stability of how dynamic the ice is and how fast the ice may react to increases of melting both from the ocean and the atmosphere."
Among the new instruments built for the project was a powerful hot water drill.The researchers used the drill to dig down some 740meters.They collected water,sediment and other material from the grounding zone.
Working around the clock before the deep hole refroze,they sent a video camera down to the 400-square-meter undersea area.
Reed Scherer says the video images they saw in the Command Center were a total surprise.
"It's a very mobile environment.The bottom is changing constantly.And so the things that we saw were all very mobile organisms,things that swim and some things that crawl.And obviously they are getting enough nutrition that they can thrive,Some of the little crustacean-like creatures called amphipods that we saw swam quite quickly and were quite active."
This is the farthest south that fish have ever been seen.How did the creatures get here?What do they feed on?And what effect will the retreating ice have on them?
Ross Powell says the ice and sediment cores taken from the grounding zone can offer clues.
"We know that the ice is melting there at the moment and so by opening up the cores once they get back,we hope to be able to understand what the ice was doing in the past,relative to what it is doing now.And because it is melting so fast or seems to be melting fast at the moment,we anticipate that there will he some differences that we'll see in the history of the ice sheet from the sediment cores,once we open them up."But Ross Powell says the work raises more questions than it answers.

62.Scientists conducted the three-month research at the Ross Ice Shelf with the intention ofD.
A.predicting how climate change influences rising sea levels.
B.finding out whether there are life forms existing deep under Antarctic ice.
C.proving the speed of ice flowing into the ocean is controlled by water.
D.discovering an explanation of the effect the melting ice has on sea level rise.
63.What made the researchers surprised when they saw the video images?A
A.Researchers saw fish in the farthest south for the first time.
B.A video camera was able to work well under deep icy waters.
C.Sediment cores present differences in the history of the ice sheet.
D.The drill should dig down 740meters to collect things.
64.From sediment cores taken from the grounding zone,scientists will probably knowD.
A.what the ice will do in the near future
B.the ice in the grounding zone is melting at the moment
C.some differences rarely exist in the history of the ice sheet
D.something about the creatures under icy water in Antarctic.
65.What can be inferred from the passage?A
A.Scientists will conduct a follow-up study on the frozen continent.
B.No creatures once appeared or lived in icy water in Antarctica.
C.America's National Science Foundation is in complete charge of the research.
D.Researchers have found how the sediment underneath the ice sheet operates.

19."Time,"says the proverb,"is money".This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets.
If our time (25)is employed (employ) usefully,it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market,or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes.Let those,(26)who think nothing of wasting time,remember this.
Our life is nothing more than our time.To kill time is therefore a form of suicide.We are shocked (27)when we think of death,and we spare no pains,no trouble,and no expense to preserve life.
But we often care nothing about the loss of an hour or of a day,(28)forgetting (forget) that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live.Our life is a brief period measuring some seventy or eighty years in all.So a day or an hour(29)wasted (waste) is therefore so much life lost.
But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in watching over the sick-beds of our (30)nearest (near) relatives; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea.
Now if all these years were to be decreased from the term over which our life extends,we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal (處置) for active work.(31)Whoever remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life.
The precious hours of childhood and youth,if properly used,(32)will supply (supply) us with incalculable advantages.If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away,we shall never be able to make up for the loss.
