【题目】Cell phones with cameras are really a popular way to capture a moment in time, but some “clever” students found another use—capturing tests as a way to cheat.
The Magnolia Independent School District in Montgomery County has added camera phones to a list of electronic devices (器具) students are banned from having at school.
School officials said the move was made as a preventative measure to stop potential (潜在的) test cheaters, since students could use the phones to snap pictures of test questions. Another concern was that students might take inappropriate (不合适的) pictures of classmates to later share or post on a website. Cell phones without cameras are allowed on campus, but must be turned off. Camera cell phones will be taken away from students if found on campus, and disciplinary action will be taken, officials said.
Some students were unhappy to hear about the ban. “I’d be lost without my phone,” said Kendall Paul, a Magnolia High School student. “All my numbers are in it. I’ve never used it to cheat and I don’t know anyone who has at our school, so I think it’s kind of stupid. ” But other students said they saw it all the time at their school.
“You would take a picture of the test and then send it to the next person taking the test,” said Melissa Sparks, a student.
“They would send the question and the answer, or just the number of the question and the answer. It’s quicker that way,” another student said.
Parents often provide their children with cell phones for use in emergencies（紧急情况）and to keep in better touch with them. “My Mom wants me to have my phone with me all the time for emergency purpose. So, it goes with me wherever I go,” Paul said.
【1】Which of the following can probably replace the words “banned from having” in the second paragraph?
A. Forbidden to have. B. Allowed to have.
C. Ordered to have. D. Kept having.
【2】According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Cell phones can’t be taken into the school.
B. Students’ parents are in favor of the ban.
C. Students have different opinions about the ban.
D. Students can use cell phones without camera freely at school.
【3】What does the writer think of the ban?
A. The writer thinks every coin has two sides.
B. The writer thinks that the ban is right.
C. The writer thinks schools shouldn’t invade (侵犯) students’ rights.
D. The writer’s opinion is not mentioned in the passage.
【4】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to the fact that _________.
A. some students cheat in exams
B. some students get lost without their camera cell phones
C. the School District’s ban is stupid
D. some students cheat in exams with camera cell phones
