Cheating is nothing new. But today, education and administrations are finding that examples of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent--- and are less likely to be punished---than in the
past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.
Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today’s youth. Others have attributed(歸因于) increased cheating to the fact that today’s youth are far more practical than their idealistic ancestors. Whereas in the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with visions about changing the word, today’s students feel great pressure to survive and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggested they did it out of hate for teachers they didn’t respect. Others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty. “People are competitive,” said a second-year college student named Anna, from Chicago. “There is an potential fear. If you don’t do well, your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself. To achieve. To succeed. It’s almost as though we have to surpass people to achieve our own goals.
Edward Wynne, editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty in the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action. Dwight Huber, chairman of the English Department at Amarillo sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students evaluated. “I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated,” Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers give short-answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can combine and process information, students will try to beat the system. “ The concept of cheating is based on the false belief that the system is legal and there is something wrong with the individual who’re doing it,” he said, “That’s too easy an answer. We’ve got to start looking at the system.”
小題1:Educators are finding that students who cheat________.
A．have poor academic records
B．use the information in late years
C．can be academically weak or strong
D．a(chǎn)re more likely to be punished than before
小題2:Which of the following statements reflects the information in the passage?
A．The pressure students faced with is partly the reason causing the student cheating.
B．Only the educational system and administrators are to blame for the rise in the cheating.
C．The 1960s vision of changing the world helped students never make mistakes.
D．Punishment for cheaters has always been severe in this country.
小題3:The phrase “the individuals” in Line 8, Para 3 refers to _________.
A．students who practice cheating
B．parents who put pressure on their children.
C．school administrators who approve of short-answer tests.
D．teachers who are too hesitant to take actions against cheating.
小題4:The author probably would agree with the point of view that _________.
A．students who cheat should be driven out of school
B．parents alone must take responsibility for the rise in student cheating
C．the educational system is sound, and students must follow every rule
D．the educational system in this country would benefit from a thorough evaluation

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:A
小題4:D

With the start of the new term, students around the country exchange their fun and fashionable clothes for boring school uniforms. But not all campuses are fashion deserts. Colorful sports shoes, school bags, T-shirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses.
“The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises on the playground,” and Qing Pei, a Senior 2 students from Shanghai Qibao High School. “But boys wear different sports shoes and girls have different decorations(裝飾品) in their hair. These are the areas where you can express yourself,” said Qing.
Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school, especially shoes, according to Qing.
“Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must-have items for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date,” Qing added. He explained, “Since Liu Xiang ran so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular in this autumn.”
“Still in fashion are the various baseball caps and American-style T-shirts with some English words printed on them,” said Qing. Besides sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of schoolbags are another chance for students to express their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating them with small dolls.
Other fashionable items are colorful drink containers, which are now popular with girls this term.

Just before midnight, six University of Cincinnati students were watching TV in an on-campus apartment when three men burst through the door. While one of the intruders pointed a gun at the group, the other two scooped up $4,400 worth of laptops, cell phones, video games and cash. Once they had what they wanted, the trio fled into the night.
Furious, the students chased down and tackled one of the burglars -- the one with the gun. In the struggle, it went off, and a bullet grazed a student's leg. His friends piled on the gunman and held him until police showed up.
By the next day, the injured young man was back in his apartment, and the suspect was in jail, charged with burglary, felonious assault and receiving stolen property. But how did the men manage to storm into an on-campus residence that November night in the first place? Simple: Students told police the building's main doors hadn't latched properly for days.
As parents confront ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates, they are finding themselves with an even bigger, more basic problem: Which campuses are safe? Colleges seem like idyllic and secure places, and for the most part, they are. But ivy-covered walls can't keep out every bad element. This country's 6,000 colleges and universities report some 40,000 burglaries, 3,700 forcible sex offenses, 7,000 aggravated assaults and 48 murders a year. Other hazards -- fires, binge-drinking, mental-health problems -- are also on the rise.
Of course, that's not what parents and students see on America's serene campuses. There's a false sense of security, says Harry Nolan, a safety consultant in New York City. "Students see guards patrolling at night or a video camera monitoring the dorm entrance and think, nothing bad can happen to me," he explains. "People don't know that safety controls are often very lax."
小題1:What did the students do after the burglars fled into the night?
A．They stood there in surprise.
B．They ran after the burglars at once.
C．They waited for the police.
D．They phoned their teacher.
小題2:What does the underlined word “l(fā)atched” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A．watchedB．fixedC．lockedD．kept
小題3:What worries parents most except ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates?
A．Their children’s grades in the universities or colleges.
B．Their children’s safety in the universities or colleges.
C．Their children’s behavior in the universities or colleges.
D．Their children’s relationship with classmates in the universities or colleges.
小題4:Which is right according to the passage?
A．Their children’s grades in are high.
B．Their children’s safety in the universities or colleges will be mornitored well.
C．The universities or colleges don’t pay much attention to the children.
D．The universities or colleges are not key educational departments in the local area.

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's new son will be named George Alexander Louis, the royal family says. A statement from William and Catherine's settlement  Kensington Palace said the baby, third in line to the throne(王位), would be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
On Wednesday the royal couple took their son to Catherine's parents' house in Berkshire, following a half-hour visit by the Queen. All three names had been among the favourites listed by British bookmakers and the announcement was relatively quick by royal standards. It took a month for the name ofPrince Charles, the heir to the throne, to be announced, and a week for William, his eldest son.
George has been the name of six British kings. The last, George VI, was the father of Queen Elizabeth II and reigned from 1936 to 1952. Alexandra, the female form of Alexander, is one of the Queen's middle names and was also the name of the Queen mate of King Edward VII at the start of the last century. Louis is one of William's middle names and was the given name of Prince Charles's tutor and great-uncle Louis Mountbatten, who was murdered by the IRA in 1979.
The choice of name, relatively short by royal standards, does not necessarily mean the baby will eventually become King George VII. The Queen's father was named Albert, but chose to be crowned as George VI.
"It's interesting that they chose to go with just three names," historian Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News. "It's almost as if the royal family is coming down with ordinary people, who tend to have fewer middle names than monarchs(君主).It is a name that none can find any problems with. George itself can't be shortened in any obvious offensive way. They've probably gone for something that is safe."
小題1:Which of the following statements can best sum up the passage ?
A．New royal baby named George Alexander Louis
B．The royal couple gave birth to their eldest son.
C．The choice of name was interesting and complicated .
D．The new baby, third in line to the throne .
小題2:From the passage we can know the father of the new royal baby is ____.
A．Catherine B．George.C．CharlesD．William
小題3:Which of the following is True based on the whole passage  ? 
A．Prince Charles was the third heir to the British throne.
B．George Alexander Louis was the third heir to the British throne.
C．The announcement of the new loyal baby’s name is slow by royal standards.
D．All three names , George Alexander Louis, were unpopular with British bookmakers.
小題4:The underlined word “reign” in paragraph 4 probably refers to ______
A．resignB．boomC．govern D．retire
小題5:From what Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News , we can infer in Britain _____
A．the name of an ordinary person is simple but meaningful .
B．George itself can't be simplified in any obvious offensive way.
C．a(chǎn) monarch or a prince has usually more names in the middle than the ordinary people.
D．a(chǎn) person with more middle names must be a monarch or a prince .

The news that China bans time-travel TV dramas and movies got a lot of attention on the internet. Yet, time travel in China is a bit different from time travel in common sense．It is anything but science fiction and always goes backwards in time．There is minimum imagination involved--no ever-ending circles that mess up present and future, no advanced technology, no new social orders or new human forms from the twenty--whatever century, everything is a known historical fact when you travel through in China．
It is not even called time travel; rather the Chinese people refer it as time crossover．Time crossover has been an extremely popular theme for online novels for years(in fact , it is an indispensible part of China’s online culture), and didn’t get picked up by TV and the big screen until recent two years．Most of time-travel dramas and movies are adapted from popular online novels and like in other cases adaptations are never better than the original books．
The main plot of time-travel novels or TV dramas can be very well summarized in one sentence: from nobody to somebody．Time travel in China is more about escaping from the reality than about realizing wild dreams．
In China , there is no need of time machine either．People travel backwards in time via the possession of antiques presence at historical places of interest encounter of life-threatening accidents or simple a look into the mirror．Some time-travel novels even start with “I wanted to go back to history so much that one morning when I opened my eyes I was back．” Technology is not relevant at all．
Though China is not short of histories to go back to, people have their own preferences and it is pretty much a gender （性別）thing．If the main character is male then he usually goes back to special times in history when he is able to help build up or tear up a dynasty．A typical example is A Step Into the Past(尋秦記), the first time-travel TV drama in China, which tells the story of how a SWAT member helps to unite China and build up Qin Dynasty ．
On the other hand , female characters primarily go back to Qing Dynasty partly because Qing Dynasty has the most number of princes to fall in love with．Yongzheng Emperor is the favorite．As can be seen in Startling by Each Step（步步驚心）, a Qing time crossover classic, a girl goes back to Qing Dynasty and falls in love with Yongzheng Emperor and his brothers．
小題1:As for time travel in China, which of the following ideas does the writer agree to ?
A．it is complicated and can be classified into science fiction.
B．it is often based on the familiar story in history.
C．it sometimes messes up the times and social orders.
D．it always occurs in any times but the time before.
小題2:The writing purpose of this passage is to           .
A．a(chǎn)nalyze why the time -travel TV dramas are banned in China
B．introduce the characteristics of the time-travel TV dramas in China
C．show the difference between time travel in China and in other cultures
D．a(chǎn)dvise people to watch the time-travel TV dramas in China
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that          .
A．China now has banned any forms of productions about time travel
B．a(chǎn)dapted from online novels, time-travel TV and movie productions enjoy more praise
C．the main character always follows a set pattern in the time-travel TV dramas in China
D．a(chǎn)ll the time-travel productions are about heroes and their success

A photographer takes a picture of the Chinese bronze rat head and rabbit head sculptures display on the preview of the auction（拍賣） of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge’s art collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Feb, 21, 2009. Chinese lawyers have asked the French court to stop auction house Christie’s putting two bronze relics（文物）looted (掠奪)from China
under the hammer, lawyers said Friday.
A Paris court on Monday ruled against stopping the sale of two
looted Chinese bronze sculptures which come up for auction at

The Qing Dynasty（1644—1911）relics, the heads of a bronze rabbit and a rat, were among an original set of 12 bronze animal heads that were once decorated at the imperial summer resort Yuanmingyuan. They were looted when the palace was burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces during the Second Opium War in 1860.
The pair became part of a collection of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. They have been put up for auction by his partner, Pierre Berge. The two items are expected to fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros.
So far, five of the 12 bronze animal heads have been returned to China, while the whereabouts of five others are unknown.

Cambodians are continuing to mourn the death of King-Father Norodom Sihanouk, who died in Beijing this week. In an exclusive interview with CCTV, China’s ambassador to Cambodia, Pan Guangxue, says Sihanouk made indelible(不可磨滅的) contributions to Sino-Cambodian relations and his death will not affect the friendship between the two countries.
Since its founding, the People’s Republic of China has maintained close contact with Cambodia. Bilateral(雙邊的) trade volume has increased rapidly in recent years, from 200 million US dollars in 2002 to nearly 2.5 billion US dollars in 2011.
China is now not only Cambodia’s third largest trading partner, but for many years has been Cambodia’s number one investor. Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia’s “King-Father” pioneered the relationship.
Pan Guangxue said, “If we look back at previous decades, I think Sihanouk made the right choice, a choice good to Cambodian national development. It was because of his commitment to the development of Sino-Cambodia friendship that we’ve achieved what we have today.”
In 2010, the two countries established a comprehensive strategic partnership, during its Prime Minister Hun Sen’s visit to China.
And 2013 is set to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year.
Pan Guangxue said, “Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on many occasions that China does not tell Cambodia what to do or what not to do. China does not point fingers at Cambodia. I think this is a true evaluation of Sino-Cambodian relations. China pursues an independent peaceful foreign policy of non-alignment(不結(jié)盟) and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.”
The ambassador says Sihanouk’s death is a huge loss to both China and Cambodia, but that bilateral relations will not be affected.
Pan Guangxue said, “I believe the bilateral relationship will be sustained and grow even stronger.”
With both countries enjoying the benefits of the fruitful relationship, the governments of China and Cambodia have promised that Sihanouk’s legacy(遺產(chǎn)) will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that Sihanouk ________.
A．is the present Cambodian Prime Minister
B．went for an interview with CCTV the other day
C．made the right choice to encourage investment in China
D．had great influence on Sino-Cambodian relations
小題2:The following facts can prove the good Sino-Cambodian relations EXCEPT that _______.
A．Sihanouk was committed to Cambodian national development
B．the two countries has set 2013 to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year
C．the two countries has established a comprehensive strategic partnership
D．trade volume between the two countries has increased sharply in recent years
小題3:What is Pan Guangxue’s opinion on Sihanouk’s death?
A．It will more or less damage the bilateral relationship.
B．It will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.
C．It means a huge loss for both countries in economy.
D．It has very little negative effect on the bilateral relationship.
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．China-Cambodia Friendship Year
B．China-Cambodia friendship to continue
C．Sihanouk’s death—a great loss to Cambodia
D．China’s peaceful foreign policy to continue
