A
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 the true winners of a game were.
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 go od 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 and they can find some solutions(解决方法) 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 health
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 much time to study their lessons
58．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
59．In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.
A．spend more time on school than on sports
B．find good solutions instead of cheating
C．try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy
D．ask their classmates for good methods of study
B
One day last winter we received our first huge snowfall. An hour later I decided to let my dog out. That was when I got the shock! My sidewalk was cleaned and my path too. I had no idea who did this good deed. I looked over to my neighbor's driveway where the husband stood, open-mouthed and surprised. His sidewalk was also cleared.
I asked him who did it. He just shook his head and let me know that he had no idea.
A week later we had another snowfall and I promised to pay attention this time just in case we had another visit from our snow angel. It was a good plan, but I got busy inside and forgot to keep a look out. Sure enough when I remembered to look out the snow had once again been cleared away.
Now I became determined to find my guardian(保护人) of the snow. Some three weeks went by when the snow started to fall again. I went to get a book and sat at the window just as the snow tapered off and my reading was interrupted by the sound of a shovel(铲子). I got to my feet to look out and was so choked up that I just stood there. My snow angel was an eight-year-old boy who lived a few houses away from me.
A month after the snows, I called him over and asked him if he knew of anybody who shoveled for me. He said, “I guess it was someone who likes you." So without taking credit for his good deed, he turned and left.
60. When the author saw her sidewalk was cleaned, she felt _________.
A. excited
B. surprised
C. discouraged
D. satisfied
61. The second time the author failed to check who cleaned the snow. Because she___________.
A. was busy cooking inside
B. was not at home then
C. was too busy to pay attention
D. stood too far to see anything
62. From the boy's answer “I guess it was someone who likes you〞, we can infer that the boy_____.
A. wanted to keep the truth a secret
B. might be a relative of the author's
C. wanted to make a good impression
D. wanted to make friends with the author
63. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It snowed every week where the author lived.
B. The author intended to praise the boy.
C. The author didn't like to clean snow
D. No one knew who helped clean the snow at last.
C
The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a w oman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have
been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances〔家用电器〕and convenience foods.
This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’ s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.
64. We are told that in an average family about 1900________.
A. many children died before they were five
B. the youngest child would be fifteen
C. seven of eight children lived to be more than five
D. four or five children died when they were five
65. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________.
A. would expect to work until she died
B. was usually expected to take up paid employment
C. would be healthy enough to take up paid employment
D. was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely
66. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.
A. marry so that they can get a job
B. leave school as soon as they can
C. give up their jobs for good after they are married
D. continue working until they are going to have a baby
67. According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to ________.
A. stay at home after leaving school
B. marry men younger than themselves
C. start working again later in life
D. marry while still at school
D
If you go to Britain, you’d find a lot of things surprising. But different things surprise different people.
In Britain people drive on the left. Dimitri Poulos, from Greece,thought this is very strange.“ I’ve been in Britain for nearly a month now. But I never remember
to look right instead of left before I cross the road. If I stayed for a year, I still wouldn’t remember.〞
Hiroshi, from Japan, can’t understa nd why British people keep their shoes on at home. “ If a visitor kept his shoes on at home in Japan, we’d think he was very rude or very dirty. I also can’t understand why British people don’t wash before getting into the bath. They wash themselves in the bath, in their own dirty water!
I wouldn’t feel clean if I had a bath in that way. 〞
Cecila Vargas, from Spain, noticed that “ strange〞 way British people greet each other .“They seem to be afraid of touching each other .When they meet , they just smile a nd look embarrassed! If I didn’t kiss or hug my friends in Spain, they’d be very surprised. We always greet each other like that. It’s perfectly normal. 〞Roberto, Grazzi, from Italy, couldn’t understand why British people queue〔排队〕so much.“At a bus stop o r in a post office, they always stand in a line--- even if there is only one other person! If I did that in Italy, people would think I was crazy. 〞

Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing(缝纫) machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread〔线，纱线〕to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center
of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the
first really practised sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into
him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew
in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.
To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep.
Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still
active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have
had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten
or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the
brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious
part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not
understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to
ourselves〞.
72. According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep
B. much more hard-working than other inventors
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked
D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams
73. The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.
A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break
C. where to put the needle
D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
74. Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.
A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine
B. he got some of his ideas from dreams
C. he was one of Howe’s best friends
D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep
75. Dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves〞 because___.
A. strange images are used to communicate ideas
B. images which have no meaning are used
C. we can never understand the real meaning
D. only specially trained people can understand them
