42、nternet universities show that their exams and diplomas are validthat students havent just searched the Internet to get the right answers.”可知,专家说只有拥有了可信赖的反作弊措施,互联网才可以证明他们的考试和文凭是有效的学生没有在互联网上搜索到正确的答案。故应选B项。4A细节理解题。由最后一段第一句“Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions
43、 and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones.”可知,是通过分析答题的速度来判断是否作弊,故选A项。5C主旨大意题。由全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了在打击网上教育考试作弊的斗争中,目前采取的几种有效防止远程教育学生作弊的高科技方法。Passage 4本文为说明文。题材为节能环保类。水是我们日常生活中必不可少的资源,但是由于一些不合理的人类活动,导致了水资源的一些短缺。呼吁大家从自身做起,从小

45、 we can do to lower the number.”和最后一段我们能够在生活中所采取的多种措施,可以得知B项(我们需要付出很多的努力去满足我们对水的需求)正确。 3The last paragraph is intended to _.Ashow us how to fix leaks at homeBtell us how to run a dishwasherCprove what drinking glass is best for usDsuggest what we do to save water at home4The text is mainly about _.A

47、d about meeting the objects of my affections.I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities;my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers.I drove my mother crazy
48、!But after a few years,my obsession with stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.In the 35 years since I was a teenager,celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows,and instant access to celebrity
49、news on the Internet.Its no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs are often filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.Celebrity worship syndrome (综合征) is now considered a personality disorder.While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of the

51、st means of entertainment,this is considered normal celebrity worship.However,when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star,this may be the time for concern.Recent studies
52、have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low selfconfidence and depression.Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.(2013天津十二区重点中学联考)1The first paragraph is intended to tell us _.Aparents neednt wo
53、rry about celebrity worshipBcelebrity worship can cause serious problemsCits normal for a teen to have celebrity worshipDcelebrity worship only exists among teens2We can learn from the second paragraph that _.Athe media greatly contributes to celebrity worship todayBthe author is surprised at celebr

56、 celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves3D推理判断题。本段的中心句是第一句“You can take steps to save water in your home.”,最后一段是建议我们在家怎么做可以节约用水。故选D项。4D主旨大意题。本篇文章主要讲的是人类活动(human activity)对水资源供应(water supply)的影响。故选D项。Passage 5对名人、明星的过度痴迷会导致精神疾病,专家们称之为“名人崇拜综合征”。1C推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可推断出,作者认为青少年时期的名人崇拜是正常
57、的,它会随着年龄的增长、心理的成熟和与人交往所获得的自信而逐渐消失。文章最后一段第二句也有提示。2A细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,大量的电视名星八卦节目和网络上有关明星的新闻,在很大程度上助长了当今青少年的名人崇拜现象。3D细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三句可知,当一个青少年经常表示希望与自己喜欢的明星有着密切的个人关系或者觉得他们之间有着某种特殊联系时,这可能就是值得家长关注的时候了。4B推理判断题。根据该段第一句提及的“目前名人崇拜综合征被认为是一种人格障碍”以及下文的介绍不难推断出,如果对这一症状置之不理,它可能会导致严重的(精神)问题。 Passage 6题材:人物故事类体裁:议论文词
58、数:317Chinese writer Mo Yans Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English,European experts say.“Hopefully,the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,”says

61、uld now become available,”Ruppin says.He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its centurylong history.As EastWest cultural exchange has been booming,Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years.Hockx explains,
62、“Its mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries,to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad.At the same time,more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”
63、University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says,“The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself.People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit (缺少)between China and it

76、背后的原因。1C词义猜测题。根据本句的后半句“.and lead to more titles translated into English(使得更多的书被翻译成英语)”可以推知莫言获得诺贝尔文学奖可能会引起(set off)全世界对中国文学的关注。start out“开始”;burn up“烧完;使恼火”;appeal to“对有吸引力;向上诉;求助于”,均不合语境。2D细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句“As EastWest cultural exchange has been booming,Chinese literature has been attracting growing a
77、ttention in recent years.”可知,中国文学越来越引起世界的关注,主要是因为东西方文化的交流日益发展繁荣。3A细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句“The obvious reason for. presence of China itself. (中国文学的盛行背后一个明显的原因就是中国自身不断地呈现自我)”,由此可以推知,随着中国的发展,中国文学也传播到全世界。4B句意理解题。根据画线句子的字面意思“中国对欧洲和美洲的了解比反过来(即欧洲和美洲对中国的了解)要多得多”,可以推知答案为B项。Passage 7本文为记叙文,题材为个人情感与人际关系。文章通过讲述“我”看牙医的
78、一次经历,揭示了在解决问题时要学会换位思考的道理。1D推理判断题。根据第一段中早上“我”不但和朋友发生了争吵,而且牙疼痛难忍这些描述可推断当时“我”很烦躁,故选D项。cheerful快活的,兴高采烈的,高兴的;nervous紧张的;satisfied满意的;upset烦乱的,不高兴的。2A细节理解题。根据第三段中“What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice?”可知“我”对牙医这么快就能给我治牙感到很疑惑,故选A项。3B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“There was a beautif
79、ul picture,right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling.”可知答案为B项。4C推理判断题。由牙医站在患者的角度在天花板粘贴图画这一事件,“我”开始明白了朋友所说的“The trouble with you is that you wont put yourself in my place.Cant you see things from my point of view?”这一句话的内涵:换位思考,故选C项。A:趁热打铁;D:患难见真情。 Passage 8题材:史地常识类体裁:说明文词数:212Melbourne,with a popul
