21．（6分）Plagiarism is the act of representing another person’s words or ideas as your own. The offense may be as small as a sentence copied from a book. Or it may be as extensive as a whole paper copied—or bought—from somebody else.
Intellectual dishonesty is nothing new. The only difference now is that the Internet has made it much simpler to steal other people’s work. Yet the same technology that makes it easy to find information to copy also makes it easier to identify plagiarism.
Teachers can use online services that compare papers to thousands of others to search for copied work. The teacher gets a report on any passage that is similar enough to suspect plagiarism. These services are widely used. T, for example, says it is used in more than 4 countries and examines more than 130,000 papers a day.
Professional writers who plagiarize can be taken to civil court and ordered to pay damages. In schools, the punishment for cheating could be a failing grade on the paper or in the course. Some schools expel(驱逐) plagiarists for a term; others, for a full academic year. Some degrees have even been withdrawn after a school later found that a student had plagiarized.
Accidental plagiarism can sometimes result from cultural differences.
At Indiana University in Bloomington, 60 percent of students who use the Office of Writing Tutorial Services are non-native English speakers. The director, Joanne Vogt, says some have no idea that copying from published works is considered wrong. She says students from China, for example, may think they are insulting readers if they credit other sources. They believe that educated readers should already know where the information came from.
The more you give credit, the less you risk accusations of plagiarism. Any sentence taken directly from a source should appear inside quotation marks. And even if you put those sentences into your own words, you should still give credit to where you got the information.
1、According to the passage, what is the role of the Internet in Plagiarism?
A．The Internet discourages people from choosing proper papers to copy.
B．The Internet helps people get their papers published online.
C．The Internet enables people to share their papers with others.
D．The Internet contributes to people copying papers from others easily.
2、We can infer from the passage that teachers know a paper is copied when they __________.
A．happen to be familiar with the content of the paper
B．make investigations concerning the paper among students
C．compare the paper with many others online to search for the copied ones
D．search journal and periodicals in the library for the original paper
3、Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as the punishment for plagiarism?
A．Fine of a certain amount of money. B．Withdrawal of some degrees.
C．Being forced to leave school. D．A failing grade.
4、The underlined expression “give credit” in the last paragraph probably means __________.
A．attribute what you’ve quoted from other sources to the original writers
B．praise the original writer for providing useful information
C．give the original writer a credit card for your copying the paper
D．admit that the original writer has a good reputation
22．（8分）That old saying “Never say never” came to mind when I read that Harper Lee, the author of the beloved, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, has a new book coming out in July, 2015—55 years after Mockingbird was published! The very private Ms. Lee had never followed up her highly praised first book, with a second novel. Instead, she’s following it up with a first novel. Confused? So was I! Allow me to explain.
Go Set a Watchman, was actually written before that classic volume. In the mid-1950s, Lee had completed Watchman, which features Scout Finch as a young woman from Alabama living in New York. The story follows Scout as she returns to visit her father, Atticus, the lawyer who fought racial injustice in Mockingbird.
But as Lee herself put it in a recent announcement through her publisher, “my editor, who was taken by the flashback (倒叙) to Scout’s childhood, persuaded me to write a novel from the point of view of the young Scout. I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told.” That book was, of course, To Kill a Mockingbird, and after it was released to great praise, Lee never returned to Go Set a Watchman. In fact, that earlier work was considered lost until Lee’s lawyer found a manuscript (手稿) of it.
“After much thought and hesitation I considered it worthy of publication.” said Lee. “I am amazed that this will now be published after all these years.” So the book that gave birth to To Kill a Mockingbird will now serve as its sequel (续集).
It’s safe to say that, decades after the publication of Mockingbird, millions of readers who were so touched by Ms. Lee’s second novel will be counting the days until the release of her first one.
1、When was Mockingbird published according to the text?
A．In 1950. B．In 1960.
C．In 1970. D．In 1980.
2、What can we know about the book of Watchman?
A．Atticus found a manuscript of the writer.
B．Atticus was a lawyer fighting racial injustice.
C．Scout Finch got to Alabama to see Atticus.
D．Scout Finch lost one of Atticus’ manuscripts.
3、What does “the book” in the fourth paragraph refer to in the writer’s opinion?
A．To Kill a Mockingbird. B．Go Set a Watchman.
C．The classic volume. D．Ms. Lee’s second novel.
4、The text mainly talks about .
A．why Ms. Lee’s first novel will become her second one
B．how Ms. Lee’s first novel differs from her second one
C．when Go Set a Watchman was actually written
D．what Ms. Lee’s two great novels really deal with
23．（8分）I have been watching my daughters play sports since they were four, and have been shocked at how some parents in the crowd behave.
At soccer games, when my girls were very young, parents would be screaming at their children to get their heads into the game, to charge, to “get” an opposing player, or to “kill it.” I understand parents want to encourage their children and their team—but at some point it becomes too much.
My daughter Grace is a high school and AAU (Association of American Universities) basketball player and a very good one at that. During a recent game, a parent sitting near me was shouting loudly to her daughter, standing up, expressing displeasure about the way her team was playing and, during halftime, speaking loudly about her personal life. After having her in my ear for more than half of the game, I was so put off that I had to move.
Admittedly, I am the quiet parent at games. I clap for the schoolgirls when they make wonderful plays. For the most part, however, I remain silent. Shouting out makes them nervous.
I asked Grace to weigh in on this, and she tells me: “Some parents become extremely emotionally invested in sports games, which can become a problem for the players. The worst thing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent,’ and they don’t know that’s your parent.”
I am all for parent spectators cheering on their children and the rest of the team. But I hope you can cheer your children on in a positive way. Shouting things like, “Where’s your head?” “Go after her!” is not, in my view, the way to cheer on high school students or younger children.
If you have nothing positive to say, hold your tongue. If you find yourself struggling to keep it together, get some fresh air during halftime.
1、Unable to stand the mother nearby, the author .
A．told her to shut up B．found another seat
C．asked Grace for help D．refused to talk to her
2、In Grace’s opinion, crazy parents in the audience will make players feel .
A．helpless B．impatient C．scared D．ashamed
3、The author is against parent spectators .
A．keeping silent all the time B．saying unpleasant words
C．cheering on the players D．leaving during halftime
4、Who are the intended readers of the text?
A．Parents. B．Teenage players. C．Soccer spectators. D．Coaches.
24．（8分）A blog posted Dec 7, 2018 at 12:17 PM by Alanna Mallon
Alanna Mallon is a Cambridge City Councilor.
Each year in November, I receive a flurry of emails and texts from friends who want to volunteer with their families on Thanksgiving as a way to give back. I also field phone calls from organizations who want to donate to local programs that provide Thanksgiving meals.
However, as an official who still works in the nonprofit sector, I also feel deeply anxious because I know the other 51 weeks of the year, these critical programs that provide food access to residents in need are starving for both volunteers and donations. Hunger is a year round problem, and each week volunteers are the necessary part to ensure that programs are able to serve the community.
At Food For Free, we rely on about 100 volunteers per week, and each of those volunteers is extremely important to providing fresh, healthy food to people in the Greater Boston area who need it. School children who take backpacks of food home on Fridays, community college students who rely on our Family Meals program to thrive in class, elderly and disabled residents who receive twice monthly deliveries of food to their doors through our Home Delivery program, — they all rely on us ensuring enough volunteers show up to do the work.
These volunteers don’t show up in your social media feeds, they don’t win awards and no one writes about them in the local newspapers. But they are heroes. And you can be too.
If everyone made a promise to volunteer once a month, or even once a quarter, I know that we could reduce some of the anxiety these organizations feel, as a more reliable volunteer network allows them to focus on helping people, not filling volunteer slots.
Here is a list of a few organizations who are doing critical work in Cambridge to address food insecurity. Offer your time to an organization, they will be deeply grateful—and I am going to bet that you will feel pretty good about yourself too.

A．the need for fresh food B．the duty of Food For Free
C．the value of voluntary work D．the difficult life of local people
2、The passage is to ________.
A．call for action B．express thanks

25．（10分）It was close to midnight and it was unusual to see vehicles on the road. However, several trucks pulled over and workers silently unloaded camera equipment and cardboard boxes, and then carried them inside the Morgenson family home.
What took place over the next eight weeks was inspired by a Hollywood movie called The Joneses about a family of marketers who move into a local neighborhood to sell their products secretly to their neighbors. The idea was to test the power of word-of-mouth marketing. By filming a ‘rear’ family in unscripted (无剧本的) situations, my team and I would document how the Morgensons’ circle of friends responded to brands and products the Morgensons bought into their lives.
With the help of 35 video cameras and 25 microphones hidden in side the furniture, the operation done secretly showed something shocking. The most powerful hidden persuader of all isn’t in your TV or on the shelves of your supermarket. It’s a far more important influence
