15.The survey by The Harvard Crimson was emailed to incoming first year undergraduates; 1,600 students responded.Results showed that at least a tenth of the students polled admitted to having cheated on an exam before starting at the university,while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework.
Athletes were apparently the most prone to cheating.20 percent of students who played a university sport admitted to cheating on an exam compared to 9 percent of students who did not.
The survey also revealed that men were not only more likely to cheat but were also more likely to admit to it.
The results,compared to a previous survey done on the class of 2013,suggested that cheating may be becoming more commonplace.Of the outgoing seniors only 7 percent admitted to cheating in an exam and another 7 percent said they had been dishonest on a take-home test.32 percent of the seniors said they had cheated on homework during their undergraduate years.
The surveys come in the wake of a cheating scandal at the university which saw 120 students investigated for sharing answers on an exam in 2012.
One recent graduate stated:"Cheating was commonplace when I was at Harvard,especially with students in their first year or two.I would say as many as 60 per cent of students took notes into some exams.No one really cared and the faculty,well some of them at least,seemed to recognize and yet ignore the problem".
In an email to NBC News,Jeff Neal,a Harvard representative,explained that a committee,made up of faculty,staff and students had been established to tacklecheating,which"is a national problem in American education".
63.Of the following 4 university students,who is most likely to cheat?A
A.Jack,an athletic freshman  
B.Rose,a second-year student
C.John,a second-year student 
D.Maria,a first-year student
64.According to para.4& 5,which of the following statement can be inferred?A
A.They have done more than one survey.
B.only 7% of the seniors have cheated in the exams.
C.It seems more and more undergraduates are cheating.
D.Students are more likely to cheat in their senior years.
65.Why did The Harvard Crimson conduct the survey?D
A.Because they want to wake up the cheating students.
B.Because the faculty recognized and yet ignored the problem.
C.Because cheating has become a more commonplace.
D.Because there was a cheating scandal at the university.
66.Which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word"tackle"in the last paragraph?C
A.stop       B.punish     C.solve    D explain.

分析 本文比較兩次調(diào)查的結(jié)果,表明大學(xué)生作弊現(xiàn)象普遍存在.

解答 AADC
63  A  推理題.根據(jù)文章第2段Athletes were apparently the most prone to cheating可知體育生是最容易作弊的學(xué)生,根據(jù)文章第三段The survey also revealed that men were not only more likely to cheat but were also more likely to admit to可知男生比女生更容易作弊.綜合這兩方面,A項中的Jack可能性最大.故A正確.
64  A  推理題.根據(jù)文章第4段1,2行The results,compared to a previous survey done on the class of 2013,suggested that cheating may be becoming more commonplace.可知在2013年的調(diào)查之前還有一個類似的調(diào)查,文章比較了這兩次調(diào)查的結(jié)果的差異.故A正確.
65   D  推理題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段The surveys come in the wake of a cheating scandal at the university which saw 120 students investigated for sharing answers on an exam in 2012.可知正是因為出現(xiàn)了作弊的丑聞,所以哈佛大學(xué)才會進(jìn)行這樣的調(diào)查來查明實際情況.故D正確.
66  C  推理題.根據(jù)本句In an email to NBC News,Jeff Neal,a Harvard representative,explained that a committee,made up of faculty,staff and students had been established to tackle cheating,可知哈佛大學(xué)成立這樣的委員會正是為了解決作弊的問題.故C項是正確的.

3.Gingerbread Houses:A Popular,Classic Holiday Treat
You can cook with it.You can make candy from it.You can put it into drinks or take it as medicine.Ginger has many uses,but none as beautiful as when it is used in a gingerbread house.
Past and present
Ginger-he key part of gingerbread and the houses themselves-has a long history.It is believed that ginger was used as early as 2,000 B.C.in China.Gingerbread houses were first written about during the 15th century.But it was the 19'th century fairy tale"Hansel and Gretel"that started the trend.As European immigrants made their way around the world,so did gingerbread houses!
One example occurred in the town of Belleville in the 1850s.As large numbers of German immigrants moved there,many brought along their gingerbread house recipes.Today,during the holidays,Belleville hosts a"Gingerbread Walk"through its downtown area.Along the path,shop owners display beautifully-made gingerbread houses and other gingerbread creations.The event allows visitors and locals alike to enjoy Belleville's tastiest tradition.
The world's largest
In 2006,Roger Pelcher constructed the world's largest gingerbread house in Bloomington,Minn.Measuring over 60 feet tall,the house took Pelcher's team l,700 hours to complete.To achieve the world record,Guinness World Records said 95 percent of the outside had to be eatable.So Pelcher used 14,250 pounds of gingerbread and over a ton of candy on the house!
Winning houses
At Christmas time,people from Sweden to Seattle enter their creations in gingerbread house contests.Winners receive prizes for the most difficult to build,most creative,most beautiful as well as other categories.But winning contests isn't the main reason why making these houses is so popular.The wonderful smell as the gingerbread bakes and the joy of eating it are the real reasons!

10."Long time no see"is a very interesting sentence.When I first read this sentence from an American friend's email,I laughed.I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously,it is a word-by-word literal(文字的) translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure!Later on,my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting.I was too thrilled to believe her.Her words could not convince me at all.So I did a research on google.com.To my surprise,there are over 60 thousand web pages containing"Long time no see."This sentence has been widely used in emails,letters,newspapers,movies,books,or any other possible places.Though it is sort of informal,it is part of the language that Americans use daily.Ironically,if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word,the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence.Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies.In the 1930s,Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named"Charlie Chan"on wide screens.Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius."Long time no see"was his trademark.Soon after Charlie Chan,"Long time no see"became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew.All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together,and they change the color and taste of each other.American Chinese,though a minority ethnic(少數(shù)民族的成員) group in the United States,is also contributing some changes to the stew!Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.
You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese,such as pizza from Italian,susi from Japanese,and déjà vu from French etc.There is a long list!Americans do not just simply borrow something from others.They will modify it and make it their own,so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant,or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store.Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays,I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.
67.The writer himself felt surprised atA.
A."Long time no see"used as standard American English   
B.the Chinglish expression"Long time no see"
C.so many literal translation of the expressions used in America
D.finding out Americans seldom use the expression
68.The underlined word"stew"in the 4th paragraph probably meansB.
A.Confucius'words       
B.a(chǎn) mixture of different cultures
C.a(chǎn) kind of cooked dish           
D.American changing cultures
69.According to the passage,it can be inferred thatD.
A.detectives translate the phrase"Long time no see"
B.cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew
C.the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages
D.Hollywood made"Long time no see"popular
70.The main idea of the passage is thatB.
A.some Chinese expressions are introduced into English
B.American English keep being enriched from different cultures
C.some American expressions can be used in China
D.you'll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America.

20.In most situations,light helps us see.But when it comes to looking at the night sky,light is actually a kind of pollution.It prevents our view of some of life's most striking sights:stars,planets,and even galaxies(銀河系).
"When I was a little boy,I loved the night sky.I remember looking up and the sky was filled with stars.I became an astronomer because I was amazed by their beauty,"says Robert Gent,"Now in most big cities kids can't see the stars like I did."
      Normally,about 2,500 individual (單個的) stars are visible to the human eyes without using any special equipment.But because of light pollution,you actually see just 200 to 300 and fewer than a dozen from some cities.Only one in three Americans can see our own galaxy with the naked eyes.Those people live far away from the lights of big cities,office buildings,and shopping malls.
      Fortunately,there's an inexpensive and useful way.If we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky,and use lower brightness levels,we can save big amounts of energy and keep the beauty of the night sky.Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night,making sure enough shine for safety without creating much light pollution.
      Light pollution affects more than our view of the heavens and can harm wildlife.Migrating birds(候鳥) sometimes fly over cities and become confused by the brightness,flying in circles until they drop from exhaustion.  Sea turtles need dark beaches for nesting and won't approach bright lights.Too much light at night may even affect human health.For all these reasons,researchers are working on ways to use lights only when and where they are truly needed.Everyone deserves to look up at the sky.
 
71.According to the text,using our naked eyes,A.
A.people in remote areas can see more stars than those in big cities
B.over one third Americans can see our own galaxy 
C.a(chǎn)bout one in three Americans in big cities can see our own galaxy  
D.Americans can only see 200 to 300 stars
72.Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night mainly toD.
A.save the electricity                        
B.make sure of migrating birds'safety    
C.let you count the number of stars             
D.a(chǎn)void much light pollution
73.What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?B
A.The cause of light pollution
B.The way to reduce light pollution
C.The effect of light pollution.
D.People's attitude towards light pollution
74.The underlined word"exhaustion"in the last paragraph meansB.
A.a(chǎn)ir pollution        B.tiredness          C.breath      D.brightness
75.Which would be the best title for the text?A
A.Light Pollution   B.Seeking the Sky   C.Stars in the Sky      D.City Pollution.

7.Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years.But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia(懷舊的).I have four brothers and sisters,and my memories are all about being with them.Playing board games on the living room floor,or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children,racing up and down on our bikes,or exploring the nearby woods.My parents hardly appear in these memories,except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure.
These days,in the UK at least,the nature of childhood has changed greatly.Firstly,families are smaller,and there are far more only children.It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family,or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child.As a result,today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone.Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home,inside.More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers,so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.
Finally,the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different.Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood.The iron(令人啼笑皆非的事情) is that so many ways of playing games are called"interactive".The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had?I personally believe that they do,but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.
60.What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?A
A.To get people's attention and lead in the topic.
B.To gather people's opinions on childhood.
C.To show who the passage is written for.
D.To compare the childhood lives of two generations.
61.Which is a reason for the changes?B
A.Families are bigger today
B.It's too dangerous to play outside.
C.Children play more interactive games
D.Parents worried too much about their children.
62.What does the writer focus on in the fourth paragraph?B
A.Young people today shouldn't play electronic games.
B.Some games that young people play today aren't really good.
C.Computer and video games have replaced the board games.
D.Board games are much more interesting than computer games.
63.The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing isB.
A.a(chǎn)pproving        B.objective         C.unconcerned    D.optimistic.

4.Winter weather has returned to northern areas of the world.In much of the United States,winter means the return of snow.
Snow is a form of frozen water.It contains many groups of very small ice particles (顆粒)called snow crystals(晶體).These crystals grow from water particles in cold clouds.They usually grow around a piece of dust.All snow crystals have six sides,but they grow in different shapes.The shape depends mainly on the temperature and water levels in the air.The shape of a snow crystal may change from one form to another as the crystal passes through levels of air with different temperatures.Snow contains much less water than rain.About 75 cm of snow has as much water as 2.5cm of rain.
Generally,the color of snow and ice appears white.This is because the light we see from the sun is white.Most natural materials take in some sunlight.However,when light travels from air to snow,some light is sent back,or reflected(反射).Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight.It is this light that gives snow its white color.
Much of the water we use comes from snow.Melting(融化) snow gives water to rivers and crops.Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from the cold.Fresh snow is made largely of air which is kept among the snow crystals.Because the air has trouble moving,the movement of heat is greatly reduced.However,snow is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people in the United States every year.Many people die in traffic accidents on roads that are covered with snow or ice.
71.In the center of a snow crystal there isC
A.a(chǎn)ir       B.water      C.dust     D.sunlight
72.If fifteen centimeters of snow completely melts,the height of water will beA
A.0.5 centimeter   B.1centimeter   C.1.5 centimeters   D.15 centimeters
73.According to the text,snow looks white becauseC.
A.snow is actually white                
B.the ice particles are white
C.the reflection of light makes it look white 
D.there is a lot of air in the snow
74.How can snow protect plants from the cold?D
A.Snow gives them much heat.
B.Snow turns into water and waters them.
C.Snow makes them keep moving.
D.Snow contains air which has trouble moving.
75.What is the last paragraph of the text mainly about?C
A.Snow can give water to rivers and crops.
B.Snow can help crops keep warm in winter.
C.Snow has both advantages and disadvantages.
D.Snow is the cause of the deaths of many people.

5.Making greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environment.Here are some guidelines to follow:
Choose foods thoughtfully
Americans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from.Besides so many choices,we now hear about our"food print",the amount of land needed to supply one person's nutritional needs for a year.Do we buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse?Do.we get the Granny Smiths from the fanners'market or the supermarket?Is organic produce healthier for us and the planet?
These are very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria,including the energy used in producing and transporting the food,as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the food.
Despite the complexities,there are some general guidelines you can follow.For instance,eat less meat or eat low on the food chain.Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consume red meat because of its too much fat content.Beyond th at,there are environmental reasons,too.Raise food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land,energy and water than a plant-based one.
Drinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercising.But is bottled water the way to go?You may not think so when seeing the true costs.Based on a survey,manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide and use here times the amount of water in the bottle.Adding in transportation,the energy used comes to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent (等價物).Consequently,skip the bottled water and drink tap water,both at home and at restaurants.Additionally,bottled water is not necessarily cleaner than tap.
1.In Paragraph 2 the author puts forward three questions mainlyD.
A.to prove Americans have less food to choose from
B.to show us the shopping habits of most Americans
C.to indicate Americans tend to buy food from abroad
D.to remind people to reconsider their food purchase
2.The doctor recommends eating less red meat partly becauseA.
A.it contains too much fat           
B.it costs a lot in transportation
C.it is too low on the food chain         
D.it isn't related to climate change
3.According to the text,which of the following is true?C
A.Americans all prefer to buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico.
B.The plant-based diet is responsible for the climate change.
C.Americans have a variety of food to choose from.
D.Organic produce is the only choice for Americans.
4.Based on the last paragraph,we know thatB.
A.bottled water is cleaner than tap water
B.tap water is economical as well as eco-friendly
C.bottled water is more available than tap water
D.tap water uses one-third the cost of bottled water
5.What is the best subtitle for the last paragraph?A
A.Skip bottled water,carry tap      
B.Drink bottled water
