2019-2020年高三英语 阅读理解专项训练 Word版含答案一As the end of this semester draws near, many students are staying up late to finish their thesis paper before the deadline. But those who have slacked off might resort to ghostwriters. It has bee mon for some college students to buy theses or scientific papers from online shops, such as Taobao. If you search for “ghostwriting academic papers”, a list of shops providing this service es up.Usually they display a price tag of 10 yuan for their services, but thats certainly not the real fee. Shop owners ask potential customers about their specific needs and base their price on the word count and other requirements. An academic paper may cost between a few hundred yuan (for a short term paper) and tens of thousands of yuan (for long dissertations).Senior student Chen Yihua (not his real name) from a university in Nanjing and his three roommates bought their theses from an online shop last month. In their opinion, ghostwriting is just one of the useful tools available to students who want better grades.“I understand that students should be perfectly capable of producing quality work on our own,” said Chen, who is majoring in mathematics. “But students in scientific, mathematical and technological fields often lack solid writing skills. So sometimes we need assistance in converting our ideas into academic texts.”A PhD holder in Shanghai (who wished to remain anonymous) said he opened an online shop selling thesis papers at the end of xx. He is a full-time employee, but he can earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for writing one essay. The high profit is the driving force behind his business idea. “I am just using my academic gift to help others in my spare time,” he said. “Thanks to real-estate developers, Im a house mortgage slave and I need money.”However, Taobaos customer service department claimed that providing such services is forbidden. The online platform punishes shops that violate the rules by reducing sellers credit rating, preventing them from being searched or even shutting them down.But some lawyers consider these services to operate in a gray area. “In terms of legality, online sites offering ghostwriting services could not be considered unlawful in China as long as the real author agrees to give the copyright to the client,” said Liu Chunquan at Shanghai Yongle Law Firm.Education experts point out that this practice is unethical. Universities require students to write dissertations or papers independently, so employing someone else to write them is considered cheating.“It is academic fraud. Graduates should be capable writers, no matter what they are majoring in. Remember that your dissertation should demonstrate not only how well you know your subject matter, but how effectively you can municate your ideas through writing,” said Shen Yang, a deputy professor at Wuhan University.“Academic writing is a skill that a university student must develop. Employing someone elses service is an admission of failure.”At present, however, its hard to discern if papers are self-produced or not. As a result, many teachers ask students to discuss their papers or prepare presentations based on them. If it transpires that ghostwriting is involved, students face serious punishment and can even be dismissed by their universities.1.

Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that were the people of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think we are great talents and our uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself. Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be, thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do everyday. Dont allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you are silly because you arent good at math. Find a tutor. If you think you are weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you are dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat your self on the back, youll know youre well on your way.1. You need to build a positive self-image when you _.A. dare to challenge yourself B. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourself D. have a high opinion of yourself2.

The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” helps you create this life of good feelings. Heres an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quite sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness? In the first case, where we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. Immediately, the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility. There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier experience. And it is easy to think and act honorably again when we are happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once its started, its easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind which is important for our happiness.1.

How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?A. Well be very excited B. Well feel unfortunateC. Well have a sense of humor D. Well feel sorry for the clerk5. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. How to live truthfully B. Importance of peacefulnessC. Ways of gaining self-respect D.

As you enter his office, you will be greeted immediately and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agents negotiator-as he is called-will probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that. He will show you the details of a whole range of properties; many of them are not really what you are looking for at all. That does not matter. Far better turn then down than risk missing the right one. The printed details he will give you are called “particulars”. Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agents particulars. It is flowery, ornate and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful. Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, bee very petent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say “delightfully” situated. That is an expression of his opinion. You many not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents and others for that matter rather more careful. Basically, all that you need to know about a house is : how many bedrooms it has; an indication of their size; whether the house has a garage; whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house; whether its semi-detached of terraced.1. The Estate Agents negotiator will _.A. want all details of your financial circumstancesB. want to satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a house.C. check your financial position with the XYZ Building SocietyD. accept any statement you make about your financial position2. The author believes _.A. it is better to be given information about too many properties than too fewB. you should only look at details of properties of the kind you have decided to buy.C. the agent will only show you the details of properties you have in mind.D. it doesnt matter if you miss a few properties you may be interested in.3. The adjectives in Agents particulars are _.A. accurate B. helpful C. both accurate D. safe to ignore4. The Trades Description Act applies to _.A. house agents only B. most estate agentsC. any trader D. buyer of houses5. The phrase “going as far as they dare” probably means_.A. covering as wide an area as possibleB. selling houses as far from the estate agents housesC. telling lies about properties if nobody is likely to find out about it.D. trying every possible means to make the description of houses sound attractiveDADCA1、根据第一小节可知2、根据第二小节可知3、根据第三小节It is flowery, ornate and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.可知4、根据倒数第二小节第一句话可知 五、Boys do worse in English when there are girls in their class，researchers will say today，contradicting the widely held belief that girls are always a good influence on boys in school. Boys do best with as few girls as possible in English lessons at primary and secondary school, Steven Proud from Bristol University has found. But when it es to maths and science, both boys and girls at primary school achieve up to a tenth of a grade more when there is a high proportion of girls in the class, Proud found.Proud tracked boys and girls test results at the ages of 7, 11, 14 and 16 in 16000 schools in England between xx and xx for his Ph. D, He analysed the test scores to see whether the proportion of girls in a year group made a difference to the results of both genders in math，science and English. Proud looked at the schools that were in their high or low proportion of girls. Boys consistently perform up to a tenth of a grade worse when they study English with high numbers of girls as opposed to few or no girls，Proud found. The more girls there are in an English class，the worse boys perform. This is particularly the case in primary schools，he discovered. Proud will argue that his results show boys should be taught English in single-sex classes.Girls，who outperform boys in English at every stage at school, are unaffected by the number of boys in their English classes. Girls also do better when there are some boys who receive free school meals in their class，Proud found. He said, The results imply that boys would benefit at all ages from being taught English with as small a proportian of girls as possible, In maths and science，the results tend to imply that both boys and girls benefit from having more girls in the classroom A mix of the genders in both science and maths is the best choice.”Proud said boys may do worse in English when there is a high proportion of girls in their class because they realize that the girls are better than them. It could also be that teachers use teaching styles more appropriate to girls when there are more girls than boys in the class. Both genders perform better in maths and science at primary school when there are more girls in the class because boys tend to disrupt the class more，he said.Professor Alan Smithers from the University of Buckingham said girls started school with slightly better verbal skills，while boys started with a slightly greater ability for maths;“Boys might be discouraged by how well girls are doing in English，”he said，“but that still does not explain why they would do better in maths and science with a higher proportion of girls in their class.”1. Its widely believed that A. boys do worse in English when there are more girls in their class B. there is a higher proportion of girls in schools C. boys do best with“as few girls as possible in English lessons D. girls are always having a good influence on bays in school2.
