studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.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.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.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents and they can find some solutions(解决办法)together.Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.56The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,_.Ait is unfair to other people Bit does harm to their health Cteachers should punish them Dteachers shouldnt stop them at once 57Some students like cheating mainly because_.Athe material in the test is very difficult Bthey want to do better than the others Ccheating can make hard things seem very easy Dthey have much time to study their lessons 58We can learn from the passage_.Acheaters are often thought highly of Bpeople show no respect for those who cheat Cparents whose kids cheat are often in trouble Dkids cheat in the test because of swim practice 59In the passage those cheaters are advised to_.Aspend more time on school than on sports 第 5 页 共 11 页 Bfind good solutions instead of cheating Ctry hard to be intelligent rather than lazy Dask their classmates for good methods of study B One day last winter we received our first huge snowfall.An hour later I decided to let my dog out.That was when I got the shock!My sidewalk was cleaned and my path too.I had no idea who did this good deed.I looked over to my neighbors driveway where the husband stood,open-mouthed and surprised.His sidewalk was also cleared.I asked him who did it.He just shook his head and let me know that he had no idea.A week later we had another snowfall and I promised to pay attention this time just in case we had another visit from our snow angel.It was a good plan,but I got busy inside and forgot to keep a look out.Sure enough when I remembered to look out the snow had once again been cleared away.Now I became determined to find my guardian(保护人)of the snow.Some three weeks went by when the snow started to fall again.I went to get a book and sat at the window just as the snow tapered off and my reading was interrupted by the sound of a shovel(铲子).I got to my feet to look out and was so choked up that I just stood there.My snow angel was an eight-year-old boy who lived a few houses away from me.A month after the snows,I called him over and asked him if he knew of anybody who shoveled for me.He said,“I guess it was someone who likes you.So without taking credit for his good deed,he turned and left.60.When the author saw her sidewalk was cleaned,she felt _.A.excited B.surprised C.discouraged D.satisfied 61.The second time the author failed to check who cleaned the snow.Because she_.A.was busy cooking inside B.was not at home then C.was too busy to pay attention D.stood too far to see anything 62.From the boys answer“I guess it was someone who likes you”,we can infer that the boy_.A.wanted to keep the truth a secret B.might be a relative of the authors C.wanted to make a good impression D.wanted to make friends with the author 63.What can we learn from the passage?A.It snowed every week where the author lived.B.The author intended to praise the boy.C.The author didnt like to clean snow D.No one knew who helped clean the snow at last.C The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a womans l ife spent in caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties,and would be likely to have seven or eight children,of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen,the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years,during which custom,chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer 第 6 页 共 11 页 children.Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in womens way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job.However,when they married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,many girls stay at school after that age,and though women tend to marry younger,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Many more after wads,return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home,according to the abilities and interest of each of them.64.We are told that in an average family about 1900_.A.many children died before they were five B.the youngest child would be fifteen C.seven of eight children lived to be more than five D.four or five children died when they were five 65.When she was over fifty,the late 19th century mother_.A.would expect to work until she died B.was usually expected to take up paid employment C.would be healthy enough to take up paid employment D.was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely 66.Many girls,the passage says,are now likely to _.A.marry so that they can get a job B.leave school as soon as they can C.give up their jobs for good after they are married D.continue working until they are going to have a baby 67.According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to _.A.stay at home after leaving school B.marry men younger than themselves C.start working again later in life D.marry while still at school D If you go to Britain,youd find a lot of things surprising.But different things surprise different people.In Britain people drive on the left.Dimitri Poulos,from Greece,thought this is very strange.“Ive been in Britain for nearly a month now.But I never remember to look right instead of left before I cross the road.If I stayed for a year,I still wouldnt remember.”Hiroshi,from Japan,cant understand why British people keep their shoes on at home.“If a visitor kept his shoes on at home in Japan,wed think he was very rude or very dirty.I also cant understand why British people dont wash before getting into the bath.They wash themselves in the bath,in their own dirty water!I wouldnt feel clean if I had a bath in that way.”Cecila Vargas,from Spain,noticed that“strange”way British people greet each other.“They seem to be afraid of touching each other.When they meet,they just smile and look 第 7 页 共 11 页 embarrassed!If I didnt kiss or hug my friends in Spain,theyd be very surprised.We always greet each other like that.Its perfectly normal.”Roberto,Grazzi,from Italy,couldnt understand why British people queue（排队）so much.“At a bus stop or in a post office,they always stand in a line-even if there is only one other person!If I did that in Italy,people would think I was crazy.”68.In Greece,people drive_.A.on the left of the road.B.on the right of the road C.the same way as the British people do D.in the middle of the road.69.Which of the following is TRUE in Japan?A.Japanese people stay at home without taking off their shoes.B.Japanese people wash themselves before getting into the bath.C.Its normal to visit Japanese families with your shoes on.D.Japanes
