When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting. One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head. After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no-one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said.“It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way,’ Rungruangkitkrai added. 56. Why was the university criticized on the Internet? A. The homemade anti-cheating hat looked too simple. B. Wearing the anti-cheating hat made students look ridiculous. C. Wearing the anti-cheating hats couldn’t prevent students from cheating in the exam. D. The university forced students to wear the anti-cheating hat. 57.

It’s u seless wearing the anti-cheating hat in the exam. B. Kasetsart students are often caught cheating in the exam. C. Wearing the anti-cheating hat is effective in some degree. D. Some students are forced to wear the anti-cheating hat. 解析： 56.考查细节理解。根据文章第二段中的 the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats.可知，大学受到批评是因为让学生戴上那些可笑的看 起来像家做的帽子。故选 B。 57.考查推理判断。根据文章第三段中的 Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit.

In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo. Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday. “We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.” On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further. “It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.” Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.[来源:学.科.网 Z.X.X.K] He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.” The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy. 66. The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google___________. A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy. B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.

A 67. B 68. C 69. D 70. A 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据对话情景和内容，从对话后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Americans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”That sounds British. 71 College, university: what’s the difference? 72 . Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living. But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger. 73 Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. 74 . In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study. The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. 75 . For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University. Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself. A. A college can also be a part of a university. B. There are more universities than colleges in the USA. C. They offer more programs and do more research. D. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning. E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities. F. Instead, they say “going off to college” and “when I was in college.” G. Colleges and universities have many things in common. 解析： 71.考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据上文 Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”可知，美国人几乎不说“going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”但是他们说，“going off to college” and “when I was in college.”。这 是逻辑的衔接。不说……而说……。 72.考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据后文 Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.可知，谈得是 两者的共同点。故选主题句 G。 73.考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据前文 But many colleges do not offer graduate studies.可知，college 不提供进一步学习。而 universities 则提供更多的课程和研究。故选 C。 74.考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据前文 The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose.可知，前后对应都说 各自的来源。故选 D。 75.考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据后文的 For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.可知选 A。这是总说和分说的关系。 答案：71. F 72. G 73. C 74. D 75. A 第Ⅱ卷 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分 35 分） 第一节：短文改错（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 假如英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。文中共有 10 处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号∧，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线＼划掉。 修改：在错词下面划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1、每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2、只允许修改 10 处，多者(从第 11 处起)不计分。 例如： Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience. 解析： 76.waited 后加 for 考查不及物动词的用法。此处 wait 是不及物动词，后接 for 后带宾语； 77.past-passed 考查易错词辨析。此处 past 是形容词作定语，passed 是动词的过去式。此处 句子缺谓语故用动词 passed； 78.feed-foot 考查短语的表达。短语：步行应表达为：on foot； 79.when-than 考查固定句型的用法。根据前面的 no sooner 可知，后文用 than； 80.a-the 考查冠词的用法。此处特指下一趟车，故用定冠词 the； 81.other-another 考查形容词的用法。此处修饰数词用 another 置于数词之前； 82.do-did 考查动词时态。根据文章的内容可知此处用一般过去时； 83.possible-possibly 考查副词的用法。此处修饰动词 waste 用副词； 84.去接 it 考查代词的用法。此处 that we have put it in 是定语从句，先行词是 the effort，作 宾语，所以 it 成分重复。应去掉 it； 85.lose-losing 考查介词的用法。此处 be close to 中的 to 是介词，其后用动名词。故用 losing。 答案： 76. waited 后加 for 77. past-passed 78. feed-foot 79. when-than 80. a-the 81. other-another 82. do-did 83. possible-possibly 84.去接 it 85. lose-losing 第二节：书面表达（满分 25 分） 高考越来越近了，很多高考生家长都为孩子请来高考保姆（nurse），学校挂高考倒计时 牌，每天上午、下午第一节课前，由老师带领全班学生喊口号……对于家长和学校的这些做 法人们褒贬不一。 请根据以上说明、写作要点和写作要求，为校刊“英语角”版面写一篇短文。 写作要点： 1.赞成者观点； 2.反对者观点； 3.自己的观点。 写作要求： 1.短文词数不少于 100； 2.开头部分已写好，不计入总词数；[来源] 3.可根据情况增减细节，详略得当； 4.不能使用真实姓名和学校名称。 参考词汇：倒计时牌 countdown board 口号 slogan With less than 60 days before the College Entrance Examinations, _____________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 解析： 本文是一篇议论文。文章给出了简单的汉语提示，这要求考生成文时要充分发挥自己的 想象力。将文章内容自然的表达出来。成文时应注意以下几点：1.采用三段成文法：（1）叙 述现象；（2）文章的重点，正反双方的观点；（3）发表我的看法。2.时态：用一般现在时为 主；3.人称：第三人称；4.恰当使用高级词汇、短语和句型，提高文章的档次；5.适当使用 一些连词和插入语，使文章表达自然、流畅。 使用了非谓语动词短语作状语：saying that they will keep up the students’ fighting spirits and help them achieve success in their final exams. 使用了倒装句：Only by being happy and confident can we eventually work miracles.使用了从句：I understand why schools and parents behave the ways they do，They believe students can only perform their best when they are not stressful.短语：be in favour of ; keep up。 答案： Many parents hire nurses to take care of their children, some schools put up countdown boards in the classrooms and every day before the first class in the morning or afternoon teachers shout encouraging slogans together with their students Some people are in favour of these measures, saying that they will keep up the students’ fighting spirits and help them achieve success in their final exams. Others think differently. They believe students can only perform their best when they are not stressful. As a Senior 3 student, I understand why schools and parents behave the ways they do, but the more you hurry, the less process you are likely to make. Only by being happy and confident can we eventually work miracles.
