Did you know that 50 percent of those students have cheated more than twice? This shocking data is from a recent survey of 9,000 U.S. high school students.Incredibly, teachers may even be encouraging their students to cheat! Last year at a school in Detroit, some teachers were found to have provided their students with answers to statewide standard tests. Students at the school told police that they were promised pizza and money if they cheated on the test. Similar reports at several schools in San Diego country have prompted an investigation by the Education Department. A student at a local high school says she sees students cheating on almost every test, and the teachers dont do anything about it. In response to the claims of school-assisted cheating, the head of the National Association of School Principals said that while cheating should never be accepted, it showed the pressure that schools were under. Because school funding is now decided by students test performance, there is incredible pressure on school to raise marks in any way they can.But schools are not the main problem. Many students claim that theyre tempted to cheat because of peer pressure and intense competition to get top grades. Many kids also say that their parents are setting a bad example by cheating on income taxes, lying about age to pay lower admission prices, or cheating their way out of speeding tickets. They are sending a message to their kids that it is okay to cheat and lie.So, what can be done? In our schools math classes, each student has different problems on their test papers, so it is useless to look at someone elses answers. Teachers could also randomly mix the problems throughout the page. Another solution is for adults to lower their expectations. Chances are that students believe cheating is the only way to meet unreasonably high expectations. Perhaps it is time for parents and teachers to seriously examine whether higher test results are important enough to encourage cheating.（1）What does the writer think of the levels of cheating in American schools? A . It is an extremely serious problem.B . It is no worse than other countries.C . He expresses no clear opinion.D . It is mainly the fault of local school.（2）Which of the following causes of cheating is NOT mentioned? A . Pressure from others.B . Too much work.C . Strong competition.D . School funding.（3）Why are some schools ignoring their students cheating in America, according to the passage? A . Because schools will get better students.B . Because teachers will then receive a higher salary.C . Because schools will get more government money.D . Because schools fear parents will be very angry.（4）According to the 3rd paragraph , how are parents encouraging their children to cheat? A . By putting too much pressure on their children to succeed.B . By criticising their children too much when they fail.C . By urging them directly to be dishonest.D . By failing to behave honestly themselves.（5）In the last paragraph the writer _. A . offers possible solutions to the problemB . describes the causes of the problemC . outlines the results of the student cheatingD . suggests some of the reasons for cheating26. （6.0分）阅读理解 Shirley Temple, the once-famous child film star, died at the age of 85 on February 10, 2014.She was born on April 23, 1928.
