21．（6分）There was a time when cheating was rare in schools, but today everyone is focused on making the top ten percent of their class and seems to have forgotten school’s purpose. School exists so that people will be educated. Nobody can cheat their way into being successful.
A lot of students today don’t even view cheating as wrong, and most of those who cheat have been doing it for so long that it doesn’t even faze them. This really bothers the teachers because the students who usually cheat probably will never stop to think how bad it truly is. When you cheat, you learn nothing, which is why cheating is so serious.
Our society seems to believe that the more material wealth you have, the more successful you are. As a result, it seems many people have become successful by cheating their way to the top. If students think cheating is normal, who knows what they will find acceptable as adults? Most people think that cheating on one little test doesn’t mean that you will cheat again. Unfortunately, this is not true because if you can get away with it once, you are likely to do it again.
If cheating continues in college, students will get nothing out of what they are being tested on. If a college student cheats on all the work they do for their major, when and if they get a job, that person will be a total mess at work.
I am not saying that anyone who has ever cheated is a liar, because that would mean just about every student at your average school would be one, including me. What I am saying is that cheating should be more frowned upon and students should receive harsher punishments. I truly believe that if there were consequences for cheating, students would actually focus on learning. Then we all would be better educated.
1、More and more students tend to cheat in exams because they want to .
A．gain high marks B．succeed in society
C．find a good job D．finish their work quickly
2、What does the underlined word “faze” mean in the second paragraph?
A．Encourage. B．Embarrass.
C．Excite. D．Frighten.
3、What can we learn from the text?
A．Anyone who has ever cheated in school is a liar.
B．Students who never cheat in college will find a good job.
C．Getting away with punishment will lead to cheating again.
D．Most people have successfully cheated their way to the top.
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．Students’ Cheating in Schools B．Consequences of Cheating
C．Punishments for Students’ Cheating D．Students’ Cheating: Acceptable or Not?
22．（8分）Getting stitched(缝合) up by Dr. Robot may one day be reality. Scientists have created a robotic system which did just that in living animals without a real doctor pulling the strings. Much like engineers are designing self-driving cars, the medical research is part of a move toward autonomous surgical robots, removing the surgeon’s hands from certain tasks that a machine might perform all by itself.
Doctors wouldn’t leave the bedside they’re supposed to watch. Plus they’d handle the rest of the surgery. In small tests using pigs, the robotic arm performed at least as well, and in some cases a bit better, as some competing surgeons in stitching together intestinal(肠的) tissue. “The purpose wasn’t to replace surgeons, ”said Dr. Kim who led the project. “If you have all intelligent tool that works with a surgeon, can it improve the outcome? That’s what we have done.”
If you’ve heard about machines like the popular Da Vinci system, you might think robots already are operating. Not really. Today many hospitals offer robot-assisted surgery where surgeons use the machinery as tools that they control by hand to operate through tiny openings in the body. But robot-assisted surgery has been controversial, as some studies have shown it can bring higher costs without better outcomes.
Kim’s team at Children’s Sheikh Zayed Institute invented the new STAR system—it stands for Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot—works sort of like a programmable sewing machine. They added sensors to help guide each stitch and tell how tightly to pull. But the approach wasn’t perfect. In the living animals, the robot took much longer and made a few stitching mistakes while the surgeon sewing by hand made none. Kim said the robot can be sped up. He hopes to begin human studies in two or three years.
1、What’s the best title for the text?
A．A new robotic system
B．A new-style way of stitching
C．The newly-designed driverless vehicles
D．Robot surgeons one step closer to reality
2、What will surgeons do when Dr. Robot is used in surgery?
A．They can help pull the strings. B．They rest at the bedside.
C．They join in when necessary. D．They perform another surgery.
3、Some people are against using robots in surgery probably because_________.
A．they can be out of control B．they will take shorter time
C．they may be expensive to use D．they are likely to cause great pain
4、What can we infer from the text?
A．Dr. Robot can take the place of surgeons.
B．Dr. Robot will be improved.
C．Dr. Robot has been tested with human trials.
D．Dr. Robot can free doctors’ hands in the operation.
23．（8分）Watching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.
Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adults for five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.
When the participants reported back five years later, 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.
The researchers say gobbling makes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.
Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month.
1、What are the participants divided by?
A．Medical history. B．Health condition.
C．Physical activity. D．Eating speed.
2、Which may be the result of the study?
A．Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.
B．Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.
C．89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.
D．Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.
3、What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?
A．Tasting slowly. B．Digesting quickly.
C．Eating greedily. D．Cooking carefully.
4、What does the last paragraph tell us?
A．The importance of eating speed. B．The advantage of eating slowly.
C．The result of a Chinese study. D．Fast eating and overeating.
24．（8分） Dogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior, chewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don’t feel sad. There are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful.
Betta fish
They make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner’s presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.
Chinchillas
Without bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they can’t get pests such as fleas (跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountains in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, so if you only have one, you will become its family. In cold winter days, in a glance at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.
Land hermit crabs
In a society where owners are often asked “Are they tasty?”, land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don’t cause any allergic reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.
Red-eared sliders
If you’re interested in a lifelong friend, red-eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red-eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30 cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking（晒太阳）area. Housing a red-eared slider is not easy.
1、All the dormitory pets mentioned in the text are .
A．active and allergic B．quiet and peaceful
C．colorful and tasty D．small and smelly
2、Which of the following is NOT true about these creatures?
A．Betas are active and rich in colors.
B．Chinchillas are originally mountain animals.
C．Land hermit crabs are allergic but tasty.
D．Red-eared sliders need more care from the owner.
3、If you want to keep the pet as long as possible, you’d better choose .
A．Beta fish B．Chinchillas
C．Land hermit crabs D．Red-eared sliders
4、The passage is mainly to .
A．introduce the best way to keep pets
B．offer useful pictures for choosing pets
C．inform students of lifestyle of pets
D．recommend some dormitory pets
25．（10分）You already know that making a good first impression can go a long way. But forget all the advice you’ve received about dressing to impress or putting on a cheesy smile. It turns out that the true secret to building a lasting connection reaches much deeper than what you wear.
According to Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School professor who has researched first impressions for more than 15 years, everyone asks two questions when they meeting someone new: Can I trust this person? And can I respect this person?
Both questions help you measure a person’s warmth and competence, respectively. But, Cuddy says, you should put gaining your peers’ trust over winning their respect—even in a workplace setting. “If someone you’re trying to influence doesn’t trust you, you’re not going to get very far; in fact, you might even draw suspection because you come across as a controller,” Cuddy wrote in her book Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges. “A warm, trustworthy person who is also strongly admired, but only after you’ve established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”
But that’s not the only way you can start off on the right foo
