Her Internet access was lockedremotelyto 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 validthat students havent 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.21.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.22.The underlined expression “cutting edge” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.A.advanced technique B.sharpening toolC.effective rule D.dividing line23.For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if.A.they can attract potential studentsB.they can defeat academic cheatingC.they offer students online helpD.they offer many online courses24.Some programs can find out possible cheaters by.A.checking the question answering speedB.producing a large number of questionsC.scanning the Internet test questionsD.giving difficult test questionsBProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stonefaced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had read carefully, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way？”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. Ah! Tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly class, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear，“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No redos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!25Why was the author confused about the task?AHe was unfamiliar with American history.BHe followed the advice and flipped a coin.CHe forgot his teachers instructions.DHe was not familiar with the new school.26. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _.Aannoyed BashamedCready Deager27In the end, the author turned things around _.Aby redoing his taskBthrough his own effortsCwith the help of his grandfatherDunder the guidance of his headmasterCBack in freshman year, I found myself wondering whether it should really be called volunteering if students only do it because they have to.I ended up volunteering at Weyrich Health Center, helping elderly patients with daily tasks. The more I did these tasks, the more disconnected I felt from the seniors. Though I felt bad for them, I did not want to interact with them.Then one rainy day, I met Colonel Hemsworth. He invited me to his table and asked for some company. I regarded this as another boring task. However, when I listened to his stories, I learned that he was a brilliant war veteran（老兵），and I found his tales interesting.After my brief talk with the Colonel, I realized that I shared common characters with all the seniors. I felt like an oxygen molecule（分子）-ready to form a relationshiprather than an isolated gas.I met with many learned senior citizens who shared their experiences and wisdom. No longer did I walk aimlessly down the hallways. I found myself enjoying talking with these people as I learned their histories. Why hadnt I realized sooner that volunteer work could enlighten me?Some people argue that volunteering and working for change does not help. However, they fail to realize that the world is constantly changing and humans must adapt My experience at Weyrich Health Center has taught me that refusing to change ones views and accept new ones leads to short-term goals that finally disappear. Communication with others is an important part of life. Volunteering is not just a requirement or a way to improve your resume, it is a time for service and personal growth.Now I enjoy volunteering my time surrounded by seniors who bring history alive for me. By communicating with them, I have developed into a more dynamic person.28. Whats the authors initial（最初的）attitude towards volunteering?A. PositiveB. Satisfied.C. Doubtful.D. Unwilling.29. Why did Colonel Hems worth invite the author to his table?A. He liked the author very much.B. He wanted the author to accompany（陪伴）him.C. He wanted to work with the author.D. He planned to teach the author something.30. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Para.4?A. The author had desire to communicate with the seniors.B. the author wanted to do a chemical experiment with gas.C. The author imagined himself to be part of isolated gas.D. The author would like to be an oxygen molecule.31. What does the sixth paragraph mainly tell us?A. Other peoples attitude towards volunteering.B. The importance of communicating with others.C. The important meaning of humans adapting to changes.D. The lessons the author has learned from volunteering.DClimate change has been blamed for killer hurricanes, sea level rise, and drought, but a new report suggests the effects of climate change might hit the worlds coffee supply. Up to 70 percent of the worlds coffee supply could be threatened over the next 66 years, according to a new study by researchers at Englands Royal Botanic Gardens.Nearly 100 percent of the worlds Arabica coffee growing regions could become unsuitable for the plant by 2080, according to the study. Beans from Arabica coffee plants account for about 70 percent of the worlds coffee, but the plant also has to be grown under strict weather conditions: they grow well at temperatures between 64 and 70 degrees Celsius, and are highly influenced by frost（霜）or temperatures higher than 73 degrees Celsius.With temperatures estimated to increase by between 1.8 and 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, the fragile plant might become increasingly expensive and difficult to grow, especially in places such as Ethiopia and Kenya. In that worst case, nearly all of the worlds native Arabica coffee would die out. Under more conservative（保守的）estimates, about 65 percent of the regions used to grow the coffee would become unsuitable for it The evidence from coffee farmers and coffee growing regions around the world is that they are already suffering from the influences of increased warming.Some farmers would likely be able to move their operations to other areas or would be able to overcome climate change with artificial（人工的）cooling techniques, but wild Arabica is generally considered to be much more suitable for making high-quality coffee.If Arabica becomes impossible to raise in its native areas, it could do serious damage to the economies of the mainly third-world countries in which it grows. Coffee is the worlds most popular drink and is the second most-traded product in the world, behind oil.32. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Climate change affects people in many ways.B. More and more attention has been paid to climate change.C. The worlds coffee supply could be threatened by climate change.D. The growing conditions of Arabica coffee have been improved recently.33. What can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A. According to the study, by 2080 nowhere can be suitable for Arabica coffee growing.B. 65 percent of the worlds coffee gets raw materials from Arabica coffee plants.C. Arabica coffee plants will grow well at temperatures lower than 60 degrees Celsius.D. Coffee farmers are the biggest victims of climate change.34. In order to solve the problem of Arabica, coffee plants, some farmers .A. would make efforts to produce high-quality coffee.B. would bring in artificial cooling techniques.C. would tend to move to some warm places.D. would grow more wild Arabica.35. What is the result if Arabica coffee has less production?A. Coffee will replace oil to be the first most-traded commodity.B. Coffee is likely to become less popular than before.C. Some countries will suffer great economic losses.D. Farmers will plant other crops instead of coffee.第二节 （共10分，每题2分）根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Enjoy Your FamilyEveryone has at least a little family drama, and you should still love your family no matter how many challenges are brought upon you.
