This shocking data is from a recent survey of 9,000 U.S. high school students.Incredibly, teachers may even be encouraging their students to cheat! Last year at a school in Detroit, some teachers were found to have provided their students with answers to statewide standard tests. Students at the school told police that they were promised pizza and money if they cheated on the test. Similar reports at several schools in San Diego country have prompted an investigation by the Education Department. A student at a local high school says she sees students cheating on almost every test, and the teachers dont do anything about it. In response to the claims of school-assisted cheating, the head of the National Association of School Principals said that while cheating should never be accepted, it showed the pressure that schools were under. Because school funding is now decided by students test performance, there is incredible pressure on school to raise marks in any way they can.But schools are not the main problem. Many students claim that theyre tempted to cheat because of peer pressure and intense competition to get top grades. Many kids also say that their parents are setting a bad example by cheating on income taxes, lying about age to pay lower admission prices, or cheating their way out of speeding tickets. They are sending a message to their kids that it is okay to cheat and lie.So, what can be done? In our schools math classes, each student has different problems on their test papers, so it is useless to look at someone elses answers. Teachers could also randomly mix the problems throughout the page. Another solution is for adults to lower their expectations. Chances are that students believe cheating is the only way to meet unreasonably high expectations. Perhaps it is time for parents and teachers to seriously examine whether higher test results are important enough to encourage cheating.（1）What does the writer think of the levels of cheating in American schools? A . It is an extremely serious problem.B . It is no worse than other countries.C . He expresses no clear opinion.D . It is mainly the fault of local school.（2）Which of the following causes of cheating is NOT mentioned? A . Pressure from others.B . Too much work.C . Strong competition.D . School funding.（3）Why are some schools ignoring their students cheating in America, according to the passage? A . Because schools will get better students.B . Because teachers will then receive a higher salary.C . Because schools will get more government money.D . Because schools fear parents will be very angry.（4）According to the 3rd paragraph , how are parents encouraging their children to cheat? A . By putting too much pressure on their children to succeed.B . By criticising their children too much when they fail.C . By urging them directly to be dishonest.D . By failing to behave honestly themselves.（5）In the last paragraph the writer _. A . offers possible solutions to the problemB . describes the causes of the problemC . outlines the results of the student cheatingD . suggests some of the reasons for cheating三、 词汇运用（共 15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） (共2题；共15分)6. （5分）用方框中所给的词完成下列句子，使句子通顺、正确。每词限用一次。 A. pollute B. advantage C. themselves D. twentieth E. safety F. unexpected（1）She had the_of a good education. （2）They all seemed to be enjoying _. （3）Car buyers are more interested in_than speed. （4）Many things _water, such as trash and plastic bags. （5）It was the most _piece of news one could possibly imagine. （6）He wrote the music for some of the most popular songs of the _century. 7. （10分）Julia argued with me about it, but she a_ with me in the end. 四、 语法填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） (共1题；共10分)8. （10分）阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 Taking a photo each day and posting it online has many benefits(好处).

Take Time to prepareFive tips for a successful yard saleEach summer, yard sales become popular and many people come to yard to get great deals on second-hand objects. Have you ever had a yard sale? What can you do to hold a successful yard sale? Here are five tips for you._Every yard has its own advertisement. The best as is signs. Draw some big signs with just Yard Sale and a large arrow(箭头) on a board in front of your yard. Pointing customers(顾客) in the right way is always better than just putting your address on the sign and hoping they know how to get there._The more organized you are, the less busy it will be in the morning of your yard sale. You want to make sure that you have everything set up before people arrive so you can have more time for answering questions and collecting money._This is something a lot of people dont think about when preparing for a yard sale. You dont want to turn away customers because you dont have enough change. I suggest at least $50 in change, which means mostly $1s and $5s_Running a yard sale on your own can be really stressful, especially if you have a lot of objects to sell. Its hard to run inside to go to the bathroom or try to talk to and collect money from several customers at once. Ask a friend or two if they have something theyd like to sell too and that way youll have some help in case things get busy or you need a break to get a drink or some food._Yard sales are fun and you can make a good amount of money. Its also a good chance for you to chat with your customers, make them feel comfortable, and enjoy yourself.六、 书面表达（共 1 小题，满分 20 分） (共1题；共20分)10. （20分）假设你是李明，下个月将有一批英国学生到你校进行交流学习，其中一个名叫Tom的男孩会到你家居住，感受中国的家庭生活。请用英语写一封电子邮件，对Tom的即将到来表示欢迎并向Tom介绍你家的情况，具体内容如下： 家庭基本情况家庭成员、职业等。日常生活早上和晚上通常全家一起用餐；每天家人都进行交流；十点睡觉；周末活动：（请补充2项以上的活动）。注意：1)词数80左右（文章开头和结尾已给出，不计入词数）；2)不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息，否则不予评分。Dear Tom,Welcome to my home.
