With the mid-term examinations on the way, are you nervous about your grades? These days, I’m always thinking about .

I believe that cheating is wrong, but sometimes school can be so stressful (有压力的) that you have to look at your neighbor’s paper or bring a cheat sheet. Many of your classmates cheat, so when you see them cheat and get good grades, you want to cheat as well.
Crystal, 16
10th Nov. 2014
Students should not cheat. It is students’ responsibility (责任) to get knowledge for college and life. People should know that cheating is wrong and feel some kind of guilt when they do it even though they may please their parents and teachers in this way.
Edison, 17
11th Nov. 2014
It makes me feel good when I have a chance to cheat but I don’t. In the eighth grade, we were taking a test and everyone got up out of their seats when the teacher left the room. But I didn’t. I’d like to look at my report card and say honestly, “This is my grade.”
Sharon, 18
12th Nov. 2014
There’s no doubt that cheating is wrong. Also, it’s unlucky that so many students feel the pressure（压力）to cheat. For me, cheating is just a waste of time because it takes more effort (努力) to cheat than to study. I understand the pressure to cheat, but I don’t agree with it.
Fiona, 16
13th Nov. 2014
I think, well, cheating is OK if it’s the teacher’s fault. You know, if a teacher isn’t making the material understandable, you have to do something to keep your grades up. But it’s not OK when the reason is just “I’m lazy,” “I’m tired,” “I don’t like it,” or “I would rather sleep in class.”
51. Which statement is the best to be put into at the beginning of the passage?
A. whether students have too much pressure
B. what teachers should do to prevent cheating
C. how to help students go to college without cheating
D. whether it is OK to cheat in exams
52. According to Stacey, ________.
A. it is OK for students to cheat in exams.
B. all students who cheat can get good grades.
C. many students cheat because of pressure.
D. students should cover their paper to prevent cheating.
53. From what Sharon said, we can infer that_______.
A. She doesn’t cheat in exams
B. She doesn’t know why students cheat
C. She studies harder than any other student in her class
D. She supports the students who cheat in exams.
54. What does Fiona think of cheating?
A. It is always wrong to cheat in exams.
B. It is completely OK for students to cheat.
C. Lazy students can cheat in exams now and then.
D. Teachers sometimes should be responsible for students’ cheating.

For 52 years my father got up at 5:30 a.m. every morning, went to work, and returned home at 5:30 pm. I never saw my father stayed home from work ill, nor did I ever see my father lay down to take a nap(打盹). He had no hobbies, other than taking care of his family. All he asked from me, his daughter, was to help him while he was repairing something, so we could have some time to talk. For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me at 9:00 a.m. every Sunday. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days in the 80-degree Kansas heat, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set for my daughter. Four years ago, my father drove all the way from Denver to Topeka, with an eight-foot Colorado Blue Spruce（云杉）in his truck, so that we could have a part of Colorado growing on our land. On the morning of January 16, 1996, my sister telephoned me; my father was in the hospital with an aneurysm（动脉瘤）in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way I realized that I hadn’t communicated with him as much as I’d always wanted to. I vowed（发誓） that when I arrived, I would have a long talk with him. I arrived in Florida at 1 a.m., only to find that my father, at the age of 76, had died at 9:12 p.m. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me. 55. From the first paragraph we can infer that the author’s father ______. A. was a good driver?????? B. sometimes fell ill??? C.??was in good health??? D. didn’t like sleeping 56. According to the last paragraph, we can know that the author’s father was born in ______. A. 1916????????? B. 1918 ??????????? C.??1922????? D. 1920?
57. The author wrote the passage in order to ______. A.?remember her father B. praise her father?
C. introduce her father?? D. make her father known
C
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine.” isn't really an answer. They are simply other way of saying “Hello!” or “Hi!”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong…” But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure…”. It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse, “Someone is at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s also a part of the game of language.
58. When a person in the United States asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “______”.
A. How are you? B. Hello! C. I don’t know. D. Fine.
59. When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is polite to say “_____”.
A. You’re wrong. I disagree. B. I’m not sure.
C. I’m sure I disagree. D. No, I disagree.
60. When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone is at the door.”, he or she may be _____.
A. giving an excuse B. hurting someone’s feeling
C. talking to a person at the door D. going to another place
61. One of the rules of the game of language is probably “________”.
A. Always say what you mean.
B. Don’t disagree with people.
C. Never say exactly what you’re thinking.
D. Being polite is the best policy.

I guess I always knew about the little fish treat, but this past summer it was all I could see. Pipin and Nemo were flying through hoops(圈), dancing with the trainer, and we were all applauding(鼓掌)— the little kids were excited. That’s when the trainer, rewarded Pipin and Nemo with a fish. Each time they successfully performed a trick, they’d get an immediate reward. These animals weren’t really dancing, of course. They were performing a series of movements that they knew would have a fish. It’s such a good show because the sea lions look like they’re having such fun. These talented performers who love to be in front of people seem almost human. Somewhere in our life journey, we all have a sea lion moment. You see how you’ve spent years jumping through hoops, not because it’s really who you are, but because you’ve always done it and you will get reward for your performance. But when you’ve done that for ten or twenty years, you start to ask yourself, “Who am I working for? What do I really believe?” Suddenly you see it: you’ve spent almost all your life taking direction(方向） from other people. They’ve told you what to believe in, what to work for, how to live your life. You don’t want to end your life like George. George is speaking to his son Ted, who cannot follow in his father’s steps. He wants to leave college and head off on his own way. “Dad, I can’t stand it any more,” the boy says. “Maybe it’s all right for some kids. Maybe I’ll want to go back some day, but now, I want to do what I want to and become myself.” George, seeming old, says, “I’ve never done a single thing I’ve wanted to in my whole life!” The Good-Bye Gate brings us naturally to a second passage, leading from being dependent to being self. You start to find out that where there is supposed to be a self, there really isn’t. 62. The sea lions were pleased to perform in front of people because they ____. A．will be punished if it refuses it B．wants to win the trainer’s favor
C．wants to get others’ applauses D．can get food as a reward that way
63. While watching the sea lions’ performance, the author ____.
realized an important life philosophy(哲学）B．recalled the similar scene of last year
C．couldn’t help shouting and dancing D．was happy to see them living freely
64. By saying “we all have a sea lion moment”, the author means that ____.
A．anyone can make it as long as they work hard
B．sometimes we don’t do what we want to
C．we can also get rewarded if we do something well
D．every human being also has his happy moment
65. Which can be the best title for this passage?
A．Get rewarded B．Summer Vacation Fun
C．No Pains, No Gains D．Now I Become Myself

Dear Peter,
I’m so pleased to hear that you will study in our school for one year. As for the question about transport to and from, I’d like to suggest riding a bicycle. There are a couple of reasons for this.
Firstly, riding a bicycle is very common among the students, for buying a bicycle doesn’t cost a lot. Besides, parking a bicycle is easy and convenient in my school. Actually, bicycle-riding is a good way to make you healthy. What’s more, it is also a practical way to protect environment. Anyway, you will feel it simple and relaxing to ride a bicycle while you are here.
I hope that my suggestion will be of help to you, and please feel free to contact me for more questions
Yours ever,
Li Ming
