Her Internet access was locked—remotely—to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?‎ In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid—that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers. ‎ Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses.”Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.‎ Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.‎ Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions ‎ are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.‎ ‎21.Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?‎ A.To correct her typing mistakes.‎ B.To find her secrets in the room.‎ C.To prevent her from slowing down.‎ D.To keep her from dishonest behaviors.‎ ‎22.The underlined expression “cutting edge” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to　　　. ‎ A.advanced technique B.sharpening tool C.effective rule D.dividing line ‎23.For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if　　　. ‎ A.they can attract potential students B.they can defeat academic cheating C.they offer students online help D.they offer many online courses ‎24.Some programs can find out possible cheaters by　　　. ‎ A.checking the question answering speed B.producing a large number of questions C.scanning the Internet test questions D.giving difficult test questions B ‎ The Basics of Math—Made Clear Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond.‎ The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数),the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these ‎ operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.‎ Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.‎ By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.‎ Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.‎ With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.‎ If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.‎ ‎25.What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?‎ A.Algebra. B.College Mathematics.‎ C.Arithmetic. D.Mathematics Education.‎ ‎26.What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?‎ A.Stronger imaginative ability.‎ B.Additional presentation skills.‎ C.More mathematical confidence.‎ D.Greater chances of becoming teachers.‎ ‎27.What can we learn about Professor H. Siegel?‎ A.He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television.‎ B.He is to deliver 30 lectures in Basic Math.‎ C.He works in Georgia State University.‎ D.He specializes in training teachers.‎ ‎28.Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?‎ A.A news report. B.A book review. C.A lesson plan. D.An advertisement.‎ C ‎ One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise on earth”.‎ However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.‎ Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.‎ Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land.‎ Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.‎ The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.‎ ‎29.What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?‎ A.The Pacific island is a paradise.‎ B.The Pacific island is worth visiting.‎ C.The advertisement is not convincing.‎ D.The advertisement is not impressive.‎ ‎30.The example of Nepal is used to suggest　　　. ‎ A.its natural resources are untouched B.its forests are exploited for farmland C.it develops well in health and education D.it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists ‎31.Which of the following determines the future of tourism?‎ A.The number of tourists. B.The improvement of services.‎ C.The promotion of new products. D.The management of tourism.‎ ‎32.The author’s attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is　　　. ‎ A.optimistic B.doubtful C.objective D.negative ‎ D ‎ Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles(UCLA)have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond ‎ to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.‎ Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same“fight-or- flight”reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict(“fight”),or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation(“flight”).However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called“tend and befriend.”That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young(“tend”),and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (“befriend”).‎ Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素)released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr.Shelley E.Taylor, explained that“animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.”While men also secrete(分泌)oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.‎ In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.‎ The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.‎ The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive ‎ behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory(调节的)system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.‎ ‎33.Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?‎ A.Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.‎ B.Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.‎ C.Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.‎ D.Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.‎ ‎34.What can be learned from the passage?‎ A.Male hormones help build up the body’s resistances to stress.‎ B.In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.‎ C.Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.‎ D.The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.‎ ‎35.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?‎ A.How men and women get over stress B.How men and women suffer from stress C.How researchers overcome stress problems D.How researchers handle stress-related disorder 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on. 36 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.‎ Get Out of Bed Earlier If you normally get up at 7:30 am, try getting up at 7:00 am. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you’ve been meaning to finish. 37 ‎ Do the Important Tasks First Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or ‎ even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones. 38 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won’t miss the important ones.‎ Reduce Interruptions If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.‎ When you’ve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voice mail. 39 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．‎ ‎ 40 ‎ A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.‎ When you’re working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break, go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.‎ A. Stay Focused On Your Work B. Take Breaks When Necessary C. If you have an office door, close it.‎ D. Or simply to get a calm and organized start．‎ E. If you work like this, you’ll usually save time.‎ F. Would you want me to make your day longer?‎ G. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long．‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用 （共两节，满分55分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I am from Indonesia.
