【题目】While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor a few hundred miles away was watching her everymove.

Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. 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 thecutting_edgeand 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.

【解析】网络教育越来越受欢迎，但是在考试时如何防止考生作弊呢？网络教育文凭的可信度与考试防作弊程序的有效性密切相关。核实考生个人信息的程序以及监控分析考生答题速度的程序都可以遏制网络考试中出现的作弊现象。

【1】推理判断题。根据第二段提到的监控内容以及第三段的In the battle against cheating...可知，对Jennifer进行监控是为了防止她考试作弊。前三项分别意为“纠正她的打字错误”“找到她房间里的秘密”“阻止她放慢速度”，都与文章内容不符。故选D。

【2】词义猜测题。根据上文可知，网络远程监控设备是在蓬勃发展的网络教育领域中鼓励诚实的前沿科技，也是关键所在。由下一句中的The technology也可推测出cutting edge是一种“尖端科技”， A. advanced technique尖端科技； B. sharpening tool强化工具；C. effective rule 有效规则； D. dividing line 分界线。故A项正确。

【3】细节理解题。除了远程监控手段外，文章在最后两段还介绍了两种防止作弊的方法，一种是核实考生的个人信息，另一种则是分析考生的答题速度，A项与文章最后一段内容一致。故选C。

【4】主旨大意题。概括全文可知，文章主要通过介绍几种防止远程网络考试作弊的技术，旨在网上考试时防止考生作弊。“防止作弊”为关键词，其余选项均未涉及，故排除。故选D。

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever.

It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way. You can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

Dear Linda,

How is everything going with you? I’ve returned back to Shanghai tiredly but happy. I can’t thank you enough for all the kindness you offered during my stay in New Zealand.

When I first go there, I found hard to use English properly. It was you who always help me with patient. Now I have made such great progress that I can speak English more fluently. I even have a large vocabulary than before. I am not scared of English any more.

When I was homesick, you kept me company, chatting, playing games or showed me around the scenic spots. You made me felt as if I was one of your family members. There are so much wonderful memories fresh in my mind.

In addition, please remember me to your parents.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Yu Lei

【题目】Older people with hearing loss may suffer faster rates of mental decline. People who have hearing trouble suffered meaningful impairments(损伤) in memory, attention and learning about three years earlier than people with normal hearing, a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine reveals.

The finding supports the idea that hearing loss can have serious consequences for the brain, says Patricia Tun of Brandeis University, who studies aging. “I’m hoping it will be a real wake-up call in terms of realizing the importance of hearing.”

Compared with other senses, hearing is often overlooked, Tun says. “We are made to interact with language and to listen to each other, and it can have damaging effects if we don’t.”

Frank Lin of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and colleagues tested the hearing of 1, 984 older adults. Most of the participants, who averaged 77 years old, showed some hearing loss--1, 162 volunteers had trouble hearing noises of less than 25 decibels(分贝), comparable to a whisper or rustling leaves. The volunteers’ results reflect the hearing loss in the general population: Over half of people older than 70 have trouble hearing.

Over the next six years, these participants went through mental evaluations that measured factors such as short-term memory, attention and the ability to quickly match numbers to symbols. Everybody got worse at the tasks as time went on, but people with hearing loss had an especially sharp decline. On average, a sudden drop in performance would come about three years earlier to people with hearing loss.

Lin cautions that the study has found an association between hearing loss and mental abilities. Those who can’t hear well might avoid social situations and isolation(孤立) is known to be bad for the brain. “You gradually become more socially disconnected,” Lin says. “Social isolation is a major factor for dementia and cognitive decline.”

Lin and his team hope to study whether improvements in hearing brought about by hearing aids or other treatments can transform into improvements in mental functioning. “The ultimate question is, can we do anything about it?” he says.

【1】According to Patricia Tun, this research will probably______.

A. presentthementaldecline of old people

B. make the public attachmore importancetohearing

C. reveal some unknown secrets of aging

D. call on people to listen to and interact with each other

【2】Whatisparagraph4mainlyabout?

A. Theoutcomeofthetest.

B. Theprocessofthetest.

C. Theparticipantsofthetest.

D. Thepurposeofthetest.

【3】Dementiaandcognitivedeclinemainlyresultfrom_____.

A. memoryloss B. hearingloss

C. socialisolation D. speechimpairment

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Hearing aids can completely solve the hearing loss problem.

B. The exploration between hearing loss and mental decline will be carried on.

C. No effective treatment can really improve hearing loss.

D. Lin and his team are confident that their research will help slow down mental decline.

【题目】If you’re looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult.【1】Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.

.1. Greetings

Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how’ve you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you’re calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it’d be rude to jump right into business.【2】

.2. Getting to the point

There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 【3】However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you?”

.3. Interrupting without offence

Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person.【4】Keep in mind when you’d like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I’d like to say something here”．

.4. Closing the call

This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes such as good luck on that interview or hope you feel better soon if it’s appropriate.【5】Sometimes it’s easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you’re ready to end the conversation.

A. So it may be difficult to get a word in.

B. Practice English through phone calls.

C. Never fear, though!

D. Use the phrase “I’m just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.

E. Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you’ve made.

F. You should make a little small talk at the beginning.

G. You’d better greet him or her in a friendly way.
