四、阅读理解

While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class,a monitor(监控器)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 numbers they once used.

Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions 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.

答案:D

解析:推理判断题。根据第二段提到的监控内容以及第三段的“In the battle against cheating...”可知,对Jennifer进行监控是为了防止她考试作弊。故选D项。

2.The underlined expression “cutting edge” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “　　　”. 

A.advanced technique　　　　B.sharpening tool

C.effective rule D.dividing line

答案:A

解析:词义猜测题。根据上文可知,网络远程监控设备是在蓬勃发展的网络教育领域中鼓励诚实的前沿科技,也是关键所在。由下一句中的“The technology”也可推测出“cutting edge”是一种“尖端科技”。故A项正确。

3.Some programs can find out possible cheaters by 　　　. 

A.checking the question answering speed

B.producing a large number of questions

C.scanning the Internet test questions

D.giving difficult test questions

答案:A

解析:细节理解题。除了远程监控手段外,文章在最后两段还介绍了两种防止作弊的方法,一种是核实考生的个人信息,另一种则是分析考生的答题速度。故选A项。

4.The author of this passage wants to tell us 　　　. 

A.what the Internet education is

B.the importance of the Internet education

C.when the students can cheat

D.how to fight against cheating in online education

答案:D

解析:主旨大意题。概括全文可知,文章主要通过介绍几种防止远程网络考试作弊的技术。故选D项。

五、七选五阅读理解

We all know what it means when a nice envelope lands in your mailbox:Someone’s getting married,and they’re hoping that you can be there for the big day.While saying yes to the invitation is a relatively straightforward process,things can get a bit awkward if you’re not so sure about attending.　1　.To help you get out of these formal engagements without feeling awkward,we’ve consulted Katie Balmer,a leading wedding expert in Scotland. 

Follow the format.

The level of formality should be informed by the way that the invitation was sent.　2　,you should decline via post.If the message came in an email,a simple email expressing your regrets will do. 

Don’t put off your response.

If you already know that you can’t make it for whatever reason,don’t hesitate to let the happy couple know why.“It is very important to respond in good time.　3　,” says Balmer. 

　4　. 

While it’s a nice gesture to offer a reason for your refusal,there’s no need to be extreme.A simple response will do,and it’s an especially bad idea to emphasise your reason if it’s cost-related.It will establish nothing beyond making the couple feel bad.

Don’t change your decision.

　5　,it is important to stick to that decision.“Going back and forth only adds to the inconvenience for the soon-to-be newlyweds,”says Balmer.“As long as you are honest and timely,the bride and groom should understand.” 

A.Make it up to the couple

B.Be brief in your explanation

C.If the offer was sent to you by mail

D.Do not leave it until the last possible moment

E.Once the decision not to attend the wedding has been decided

F.Otherwise,you risk adding to the couples last-minute wedding stress

G.Turning down a wedding invitation is a situation where you can feel very personal

答案:1~5 GCDBE

六、选词创境

运用下列写作词汇,自己创设一个语境,形成一个小语段。

conflict with,superior,test out,ridiculous,more like,guilty,dismiss

参考范文

Mary was dismissed by her boss for her mistake.She felt so guilty that she fell ill.Her husband took a robot home to take care of her.The robot looked more like a human than a machine.She considered it ridiculous to be looked after by a machine,but her husband told her that the robot was going to be tested out in their house.In fact,the robot is superior to most servants.He never complained or conflicted with his master.
