    Now that American education has entered the era of the MOOC—the Massive Open Online Course-the opportunity for cheating appears greater than ever. The all-knowing Google search engine is never more than a few keystrokes away. So how can a teacher manage such a large number of examinees so far away, let alone searching out cheaters taking tests across the Internet?

    Using technology, of course. While special services via webcam(摄像头)and cheating detecting software have been developed now, Mettl, an online company, has developed advanced techniques for netting cheaters, which the company claims are even more reliable and easier to use. Whatever small attempt to cheat, he or she will be found out.

    Mettl has adopted a handful of technologies on its test—taking platform, creating a mini monitoring state in an exam. Here’s how it works：A test-taker signs on to Mettl and selects his／her exam from the site’s library of pre—loaded tests. Facial and keystroke recognition technology confirm the person that has signed in is the very person, and the system records both the test—taker(through the webcam)and the test—taker’s screen throughout the test.

    Mettl’s technology uses the test—taker’s webcam to detect how many people are using the computer. Soon, it will track eye movement well enough to sense whether the test-taker is looking away from the screen, perhaps to Consult a smart phone or a friend in secret. Mettl also monitors the test-taker’s screen and can detect when the test-taker has changed a computer or moved from the test. The system will soon be able to record sound, thus detecting whether the test-taker is talking or being talked to.

    If any irregularities are detected, the system flags the incident and reports it back to the test’s administrator. This can bring any number of things, depending on the test-giver’s wishes：a complete shutdown of the exam, a warning message that appears on the test-taker’s screen, even human instructions from the control center.

    Mettl is hoping its technology will help it break into the country’s big MOOC markets.

    A. Advantages of Massive Open Online Courses

    B. Using technology to fight against cheating online

    C

    Chinese students have tended to come to the UK at a younger age in recent years, which means they come to Britain not only for higher education, but also for high school or even primary school. Asian investors（投资者） have followed this trend, and started to buy independent schools to serve this demand.

    An article carried by the Times of London on October 17 reported that last year Chinese-owned company Achieve Education bought Chase Grammar, a boarding and day school in Cannock, Staffordshire. Chase Grammar includes a program that offers extra support for pupils from China. “ This trend is very good and I am not at all surprised,” Barnaby Lenon, chairman of the Independent Schools Council, told the Global Times, adding that Chinese people like the English education system. “ We welcome Chinese investors in British private education.” “Chase Grammar School is small, and the classes are small. It gives the school a family atmosphere,” Jackie Medhurst, principal of Chase Grammar School, said in a welcome note on the school’s website.

    Small class sizes, personal care, good exam result, and entry to world famous universities are features that are most attractive to Chinese students. But many parents are also worried that foreign investors might expand the proportion of international students, and that might undermine the British tradition.

    It seems that Chase Grammar does not intend to hide their attempts to attract Chinese families. It has set up a China office in Shanghai to facilitate Chinese parents’ communication with the school. Tong Zhou, a director of Chase Grammar, told the media that the school does not intent to change the ratio of local students and international students.

    Some international branches of British boarding schools are very popular in Asia. In recent years, the Chinese passion for the British boarding school system has led some of the best-known schools such as Harrow and Wellington to set up satellite schools in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. And the trend continues.

    It seems that the rising wealthy class in Asia is not satisfied with international branches in their own countries. They want to send their kids to the original British boarding schools to be surrounded by English people and immersed in the British culture. To support their children studying in the UK, Chinese parents are buying houses in Britain. According to a survey by UK Property Weekly, houses near universities and outstanding primary and secondary schools are the most preferable location for Chinese buyers.

    Compared to the independent school system, universities are more open. It is reported that China remains the leading source of international students for London.

    1.Which of the following can we know from Barnaby Lenon’s words?

    A. He was surprised at the present current trend.

    B. English universities are better than those in China.

    C. The English education system is welcomed by the Chinese.

    D. There will be fewer investors in private education.

    2. Which of the following is NOT among the attractions of the British schools?

    A. The small size of classes.

    B. The entry to world-famous universities.

    C. Good exam results.

    D. Good living conditions.

    3.The underlined word “ undermine” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”.

    A. weaken B. strengthen C. follow D. overcome

    4. Chinese parents are buying houses in order to ______.

    A. invest more money

    B. support their children’s education

    C. show off their ability

    D. compete with other parents

    Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.

    Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的) task to another, something that’s known to take longer for older adults, said lead researcher, Brian Gold, a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.

    Gold’s team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults, knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However, they found that older adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those didn’t . The study only looked at life-long bilinguals, defined in study as people who had spoken a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.

    Gold and his team asked 30 people, either bilingual or monolingual(只懂一种语言的人) , to have a series of tests. They found that bilingual people were not only able to switch tasks faster， they had different brain activity than their monolingual peers.

    Kristina called bilingualism "a beautiful natural experiment”, because people grow up speaking two languages,and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.

    Gold said he grew up in Montreal, where he spoke French at school and English at home, prompting relatives to question whether his French language immersion would somehow hinder his ability to learn English.

    "Until very recently, learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous," he said. "Actually, it's beneficial. "

    1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

    A. Researchers found that speaking two languages is important.

    B. Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly.

    C. Researchers found that bilingual people can slow down the speed or aging on the brain and respond fast.

    D. Researchers found that bilingual people are great.

    2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Older bilinguals can’t respond faster in mind.

    B. Older adults speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old can respond faster than those who don't.

    C. Young bilinguals can respond faster in mind than those monolinguals.

    D. Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolinguals.

    3.In Gold’s opinion, learning a second language in childhood is______ .

    A． dangerous to children

    B. not beneficial to children

    C. dangerous but beneficial to children

    D. not dangerous but beneficial to children

    It is said that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.

    Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.

    Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again.

    This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.

    1.According to the text, how many friends do the majority of people probably have?

    A. Over 400 friends in their whole lives

    B. 30 friends or fewer at a certain stage

    C. 400 internet friends in their whole lives

    D. 150 internet friends at a certain stage.

    2.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

    A. There is a rule about making friends

    B. People with different views can become friends

    C. Friendships mean different things to different people

    D. Some people would die for their friends if they need to

    3.We can learn from the text that most of us_________.

    A. need to be with others

    B. build friendships late in life

    C. are dissatisfied with our friends

    D. are frightened to talk to people

    4.What is the author’s attitude towards talking to a stranger?

    A. Uninterested B. Cautious C. Doubtful D. Positive

    请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    Is there clear boundary between science and the liberal arts as a major for college students? The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education is not an either / or proposition (命题), although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) -related fields can make it seem that way．

    The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also stresses that the study of the humanities (人文学科) and social sciences must remain central elements of America’s educational system at all levels．Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative (创新的) leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides．

    Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects (前景) as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs．Under this circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem．“Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run．Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily．

    Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there is little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers．The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible．The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight - picked up from science, arts, and technology - to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.

    1.What does the latest congressional report suggest?

    A．Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society．

    B．The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life．

    C．STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society．

    D．The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance．

    2.What does the author say about the so called soft subjects?

    A．They are essential to students’ healthy growth.

    B．They improve students’ communication skills.

    C．They broaden students’ range of interests.

    D．They benefit students in their future life．

    3.What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?

    A．The academic value of the courses.

    B．Their interest in relevant subjects.

    C．Their chances of getting a good job.

    D．The quality of education to receive.

    4.What advice does the author give to college students?

    A．Try to take a variety of practical courses.

    B．Prepare themselves for different job options.

    C．Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.

    D．Seize opportunities to tap their potential．
