科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2012-2013學(xué)年重慶市重慶一中高二下學(xué)期4月月考英語(yǔ)試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

Silence is unnatural to man．He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness．In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else．Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence．If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）.He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蠟塑人像）.
The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito （蚊子）.But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing -with his neighbors.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.
【小題1】According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors_____.

A．in the hope of learning something new
B．in the hope of getting on well
C．a(chǎn)bout whatever they want to
D．a(chǎn)bout whatever they have prepared
【小題2】According to the author, people make conversation to______.
A．a(chǎn)chieve success in life
B．overcome their fear of silence
C．exchange ideas
D．prove their value
【小題3】What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A．To persuade people to stop making noises．
B．To explain why people keep talking．
C．To discuss why people like talking about weather．
D．To encourage people to join in conversations．
【小題4】By "the buzzing of a fly"(Para.1), the author means"_____".
A．the voice of a chatterbox
B．meaningless talk sound
C．a(chǎn) low whispering
D．the noise of an insect

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2012屆陜西省長(zhǎng)安一中高三開學(xué)第一次考試英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：填空題

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A—F選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

A． How can you select your test location（地址）?
B． How many times do you plan to take the test?
C． When do you have to hand in your test scores?
D． What is the most appropriate test date for you?
E． Where do you stand in your high school coursework?
F． What are the factors determining your choice of test time?
【小題1】
The ACT is offered nationally several times a year, between September and June． However, it's not offered at every test center on each test date． If you need to take the ACT on a day other than Saturday because of religious reasons, you’ll want to be especially attentive in selecting a test date because the non-Saturday dates are less frequent and are held at fewer test centers．
【小題2】
One of the first things you should find out, then, is where the ACT is being offered in your area． A quick and easy way to get that information is by accessing ACT's website at www．a(chǎn)ctstudent．org． Or your high school guidance counselor should be able to give you that information． It's also printed in the booklet Registering for the ACT, which is available free from your school counselor． Often, your own or a neighboring school will serve as a test center．
【小題3】
One important decision you need to make is whether you should take the ACT during your junior or your senior year in high school． A number of factors will affect this decision． First, you should find out when colleges you're interested in need to have your test scores． Is there a special program or scholarship for which you want to apply? If so, is there a deadline by which you need to have test scores submitted to the college or agency? Score reports are normally mailed about 3-7 weeks after the test date． Just be sure you're doing everything, including taking the ACT, early enough to keep all your options open．
【小題4】
Another consideration in deciding when to take the ACT is where you stand in your high school coursework． If you're in a college-prep program and taking a lot of courses in English, mathematics, and science in your sophomore and junior years, it may be wise for you to take the ACT in your junior year, while those subjects are still fresh in your memory． If, on the other hand, you're studying material covered on the ACT during your senior year, it's reasonable to assume that your performance on the ACT might be better then．
【小題5】
Perhaps you'll decide to take the ACT more than once, in hopes of improving your score． In that case, it's probably better to take the exam in your junior year to allow time for a second try． There are several advantages to taking the ACT in your junior year: （i） You probably will have completed much of the coursework corresponding to the material covered on the ACT． （ii）You'll have your ACT scores and other information in time to help make decisions about your final year of high school coursework． （iii） You'll have your ACT scores and information from colleges in time to make decisions about visiting campuses or contacting schools．

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2013年全國(guó)普通高等學(xué)校招生統(tǒng)一考試英語(yǔ)（廣東卷解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

While Jennifer was at home 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 cameras, 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.

1.Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?

A．To correct her typing mistakes.

B．To find her secrets in the room.

C．To prevent her from slowing down.

D．To keep her from dishonest behaviors.

2.The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______.

A．a(chǎn)dvanced technique                     B．sharpening tool

C．effective rule                          D．dividing line

3. For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if _____.

A．they can attract potential students          B．they can defeat academic cheating

C．they offer students online help             D．they offer many online courses

4.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

5. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A．The Advantages of Online Exams

B．The High-tech Methods in Online Courses

C．The Fight against Cheating in Online Education

D．The War against the Booming of Online Education
