Since American students have been introduced into the era of the Massive Open Online Course, the opportunity for cheating appears greater than ever. The all-knowing Google search engine is within easy reach. So how can a teacher handle 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 mass 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, detecting whether the test-taker is talking or being talked to.

If any wrongdoings 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.

1.From the first paragraph we can infer that 　　　　　 .

A. MOOC has replaced the traditional form of education

B. Teachers should be stricter in dealing with cheating

C. Preventing online cheating is a harder job

D. Google is a software designed for cheating

2.How can Mettl help to get rid of cheating online?

A. By equipping teachers with cameras.

B. By asking test-takers to sign in.

C. By providing different tests at a time.

D. By recording the test-takers’ behaviors.

3.We can conclude from the passage that the technology of Mettl is　　 in the MOOC era.

A. unreliable　 B. promising

C. wasteful 　　 D. instructive

4.Which part of a newspaper does the article come from?

A. Health　　　　　 B. Entertainment

C. Education 　　 D. Culture

1. Moving from high school into college can be especially difficult because of the freedom students experience in college along with a new set of expectations.

In high school, students usually live at home, and their parents take care of all their physical needs such as food and housing. 2. Parents are also there to offer help and make sure that the students' homework is done. During the school day, students rarely have free time. They go directly from one class to another. Teachers are always around to tell the students what to do. 3. So students can often complete their homework and reading in a short time.

4. They may be responsible for shopping, paying bills, and laundry. They also may have to cook their own meals. Their parents are not around to help with homework or even to check if it has been done. Contrary to students in high school, students in college may have a lot of free time between classes, but must discipline themselves to use this time productively for homework and other assignments. 5.

A．High school students have to bury themselves in piles of papers.

B．Finally, the work itself is not so challenging.

C．By contrast, in college, students often live away from home in dorms or apartments.

D．In college, students may apply to a bank loan and others will try to find part­time jobs.

E．Each new level of education brings new challenges and demands to students.

F．Most importantly, college requires a higher level of thinking and a lot more work than high school.

G．Students do not usually have to shop for their food, take time to pay bills, or even do their own laundry.

Since people first launched　 rockets　 into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of　 things. Some of them,　 like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spacecraft. But much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart.

Some things we send into space fall back toward Earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. So there is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm.

But space junk falling on roofs is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about the “Kessler” problem. Imagine what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting the earth.　 Two　 big things become many smaller things.　 They　 then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.

Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher, says launching a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the Earth. After a time,　 the junk burns up in the atmosphere. Mr.Castronuovo has proposed using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. One arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. He imagines that each satellite could jump from one large piece of junk to another. He thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.

Scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean­up have been too great. Mr.Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money. So what can be done to clean up the space around our planet?

1.We can learn from the text that much of the space junk ________.

A. was left by the astronauts on purpose

B. is mainly made up of broken spaceship

C. is usually made of small pieces of things

D. burns up before it reaches the atmosphere

2.Now scientists are most worried that space junk will ________.

A. harm the future space vehicles

B. do some harm to the atmosphere

C. fall on people's house roofs

D. destroy the habitat of wildlife

3.It implies in the last but one paragraph that ________.

A. clearing up the space will actually cost little

B. small rockets also do harm to the atmosphere

C. only robots can clear up the space completely

D. it is still difficult for us to clear up the space

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. Space junk threatens earth's orbital environment.

B. Scientists use different methods to clear up space junk.

C. Spacecrafts will meet with a lot of space junk in the future.

D. Marco comes up with many methods to deal with space junk.

Q: My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade. She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master’s degree. Her performance in general is fairly good, but test scores are very low. She has held many leadership and volunteer positions. We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has to get over. Will that help or hurt her chances for admission?

---- Deborah

A: First let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/SAT). There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process. Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors. A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest.org. It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy.

You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted. Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability. “Disclosing” a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help. By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face. They might also prove an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability. More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability.

---- Ms. Kravis

1.What do we know about Deborah’s daughter?

A．She is applying for a master’s degree.

B．She is very active in her high school.

C．Her disability prevents her studying well.

D．She has difficulty getting over her learning disability.

2.The underlined word “demonstrate” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”.

A．show             B．develop           C．gain              D．change

3.What is Ms. Kravis’ attitude towards one’s declaring his/her learning disability?

A．Supportive.        B．Critical.           C．Doubtful.          D．Unconcerned.

4.According to the passage, Mr. Kravis is probably _____.

A．an editor                              B．a school leader

C．a psychological doctor                    D．an educational expert

Does your local high school have a student newspaper? Only 1 in 8 of New York’s public high schools has student newspapers – and many of those are published just a few times a year. A few more are online, which can leave out poorer schools.

Rebecca Dwarka, an 18-year-old senior who works for her student paper said, “Facebook is the new way of finding out what happened. Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it. This makes a ‘whole article’ sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places.”

I am not nostalgic about high school student newspapers and never worked for mine. I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace, war and rock ’n’ roll without school officials warning us not to make jokes about the local officials.

School newspapers are in decline because students now find out what happened on social networking websites. This is a little discouraging because it proves that for millions of Americans, journalism is becoming a do-it-yourself thing. Every citizen can be a reporter.

When something happens, we look for social media messages. Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove, deny, pass on stories and express opinions without the press’ challenging, researching or slowing the message.

But truly good journalism is a craft, not just a blog post. It requires seeing something carefully and it uses an eye for details to help prove a larger view. And even journalism that conveys an opinion tries to be fair. If school newspapers begin to disappear, I hope there are other ways for students to learn that.

1.What can we infer from Rebecca’s words?

A. Students like reading detailed articles.

B. School newspapers are becoming unpopular.

C. Facebook is the quickest way of spreading news.

D. Long sentences are becoming popular in lonely places.

2.What does the author think of social media messages?

A. They make journalism become a craft.

B. They represent the power of small voices.

C. They are usually discouraging for readers.

D. They are coming without careful research.

3.What should good journalism do according to the author?

A. Ignore some details.

B. Spread a message quickly.

C. Convey an opinion in a fair way.

D. Act as blog posts in modern times.

4.Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Social media or newspapers?

B. Everyone can become a reporter at present

C. Social networking brings about new journalism

D. High school newspapers – an endangered species.
