Unit 1 Back to school 培优提能限时练(二)
(限时:60分钟 满分:62.5分)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共7小题;每小题2.5分,满分17.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways.When people cheat,it’s not fair to other people,like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.
Many people like the action of cheating.In their opinion,it makes difficult things seem easy,like getting all the right answers on the test.But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t 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 shouldn’t get 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 they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying.Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating.Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating,cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study,it would be better to talk with the teacher about this.And if you don’t 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 so they can find some solutions together.Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.

In high school I was very shy,content to hang around with my small group of friends and to concentrate on my courses.I was quickly labeled a “brain”.I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.
But in early June of senior year,the principal called me into his office.He asked me to give a speech at graduation.I was surprised to look at him,my heart thumping.This was the reward for my hard work I murmured something and fled the office,blaming myself for staying away from physics,a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record.
I finally agreed to a compromise.I would share the honor with five other students.I agreed to introduce my friend Judy,who would then give her own,full-length speech.
Graduation day soon arrived.I’d been practicing my speech for days,and I had it memorized.The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur,and then my moment came.My name was announced.I managed to reach the stage without falling down.I faced my classmates.My voice trembled a little,but mostly it was clear and strong.But within seconds,I was done and headed back to my seat.I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of—I spoke in front of hundreds of people.
Although I didn’t realize it at the time,the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to take part in class at college,to give oral reports,and to eventually break free of my shyness.I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation—or ever.But I’m glad I did.I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I feared.I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments.
