中国最大的教育门户 E度高考网议论文类考资源网 （I）Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, its not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test - unless the person cheats again. 考资源网Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. 考资源网A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together.

These great forests are the oceans of trees. They are full of thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animal.However, the world forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts.

There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white packageblue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesnt contain as much as it appears to.It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!The most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”1Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?A.

In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid, one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we are educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.1. The writer of this passage thinks that_.A. free education can solve all of the worlds problemsB. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world C. free education wont help to solve social problemsD. all the social problems cant be solved by free education w_w*w.k*s_5_u.c*o*m2.

According to the passage, _.w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*mA. work with hands is dirty and shameful B. work with hands is low workC. work with hands is the most important D. we cant regard work with hands as low work4. The purpose of education is _.w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*mA. to choose a system of education B. to let everyone receive education C. to prepare children for their future life D. to prepare children for well-paid jobs w_w*w.k*s_5_u.c*o*m1-4 DADC（V）考资源网When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership. The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (积极性). Todays work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which theyre recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.1. The underlined phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” means _ in this passage.A. throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objective B. to grow forth (向前) from the groundC. to move or pass suddenly or swiftly D. to injure or harm ones own interests 2. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when _.A. he cannot work at his best B. he is forced to do things C. he feels his brain shut down D. he thinks of his work as too heavy 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People tend to associate leadership with fear. B. Working conditions affect peoples physical health.C. Smart people are more functional in the work place.D. Good relationship is the key to business success.4. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all _.A. develop his own personality B. provide better suggestionsC. give his employees a pay raise D. hide his own emotion of fear 5. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leaders ability to_.A. provide a variety of project for employees B. help raise employees living standardsC. deal wisely with employees emotions D. give employees specific instructions（指导）15 DBDAC中国最大的教育门户网站 E度高考网
