21、Plagiarism is the act of representing another person’s words or ideas as your own. The offense may be as small as a sentence copied from a book. Or it may be as extensive as a whole paper copied—or bought—from somebody else.
Intellectual dishonesty is nothing new. The only difference now is that the Internet has made it much simpler to steal other people’s work. Yet the same technology that makes it easy to find information to copy also makes it easier to identify plagiarism.
Teachers can use online services that compare papers to thousands of others to search for copied work. The teacher gets a report on any passage that is similar enough to suspect plagiarism. These services are widely used. Turnitin.com, for example, says it is used in more than 100 countries and examines more than 130,000 papers a day.
Professional writers who plagiarize can be taken to civil court and ordered to pay damages. In schools, the punishment for cheating could be a failing grade on the paper or in the course. Some schools expel plagiarists for a term; others, for a full academic year. Some degrees have even been withdrawn after a school later found that a student had plagiarized.
Accidental plagiarism can sometimes result from cultural differences. At Indiana University in Bloomington, 60 percent of students who use the Office of Writing Tutorial Services are non-native English speakers. The director, Joanne Vogt, says some have no idea that copying from published works is considered wrong. She says students from China, for example, may think they are offending readers if they credit other people’s works. They believe that educated readers should already know where the information came from.
The more you give credit, the less you risk charge with plagiarism. Any sentence taken directly from a source should appear inside quotation marks. And even if you put those sentences into your own words, you should still give credit to where you got the information.
【1】According to the passage, what is the role of the Internet in Plagiarism?
A.The Internet contributes to people copying papers from others easily.
B.The Internet discourages people from choosing proper papers to copy.
C.The Internet enables people to share their papers with others.

【2】We can infer from the passage that teachers know a paper is copied when they .
A.happen to be familiar with the content of the paper
B.make investigations concerning the paper among students
C.search journal and magazines in the library for the original paper
D.compare the paper with many others online to search for the copied ones
【3】Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as the punishment for plagiarism?
A.Withdrawal of some degrees
B.Being forced to leave school
C.A failing grade
D.Fine of a certain amount of money
【4】The underlined expression “give credit” in the last paragraph probably means .
A.admit that the original writer has a good reputation
B.owe what you’ve quoted from other sources to the original writers
C.praise the original writer for providing useful information
D.give the original writer a credit card for your copying the paper
22、High school plays a major role in shaping up your future and your whole development. extracurricular
(课外的) activities along with the studies can be very helpful. Make yourself take part in various activities and at the same time try to stand out in your studies. When you move out to college these efforts that you put in may count for a lot.
High school is not just about books or classes. Schools always provide opportunities for students to socialize (社交). There are various group tasks designed which allow the students to learn to work together.
High school is the right time for you to discover yourself and bring out some of your hidden talents.

23、 Although it's weird for characters to suddenly break into songs and dances in the middle of a conversation, it still produces cheerful atmosphere for actors to do the same, doesn't it?
The impromptu songs and dances are what La La Land—a musical film is all about. This pattern worked surprisingly well: The film won a record-breaking seven Golden Globes, and it already has 14 Oscar, nominations, including best picture, best director and best costume design. La La Land was released in China on Feb 14, which appeals to the youngsters nowadays.
But why is it that a musical film is booming all of a sudden?
It's believed that lie current political climate is driving people toward light-hearted entertainment for relief - especially movies like La La Land, which tells a simple boy — meets — girl story. The tale takes place in an ever-sunny Los Angeles, where everything is painted in a positive light, which may be another attraction for those looking to escape the world for a short while.
“This was the only time for me since Nov 8 that I was successfully able to shut out all thoughts of Trump World for over two hours,” wrote The Guardian's editor John Patterson. “La La Land, if only for a while, quite got me out of abomination.”
This is not hard to understand if you think about the last lime musical films had their moment of glory. It was more than half a century ago, back in the 1930s through to the 1950s, when the Great Depression—an economy crisis- hit the US.
“Politicians often assigned Hollywood the task of 'cheering Americans up', asking them to produce comedies to get rid of anger and gloom during the Depression, hoping that the entertainment industry could play a key role in distracting Americans from the horrors of the economic downfall,” wrote Sydney Huber on the blog Music During the Great Depression.
Despite being a musical filled with a dream-like atmosphere, La La Land has its fair share of realism. The boy — meets — girl story doesn't end in a happily — ever — after way. Instead, they have to make a choice between their relationship and their careers, like many couples in the real world.
“There is a modem energy to it,” Damien Chazelle, the film's director, told The Independent. “It was fun to take certain characteristics from fifties old musicals, but put them in a modem city and film them in a modem way, and see what resulted from that.”
【1】According to John Patterson, what made La La Land popular with American viewers?
A.It tells a pleasurable boy — meets — girl story.
B.It eases the stress people feel in the real world.
C.It reminds people of the glory of Hollywood musical films.
D.It introduces a new performing style to the film industry.
【2】What role did musicals play during the Great Depression according to Sydney Huber?
A.They expressed people's anger and anxiety.
B.They provided solutions to the economic downfall.
C.They served as a tool to spread politicians, ideas.
D.They brought comfort and entertainment to people.
【3】It can be inferred from the last paragraphs that Damien Chazelle .
A.wasn't satisfied with the happy ending of the film
B.meant to present the story in a more realistic way
C.held an open attitude toward borrowing ideas from old musicals
D.wanted the film to focus on relationship and career problems
【4】The underlined word “abomination“ in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to "________"
A.hatred
B.hesitation
C.joy
D.goodness
【5】What is the basic tone of the article?
A.Disapproved.
B.Excited.
C.Positive.
D.Humorous.
24、 I rescued my little Foxy several years ago. I wasn’t looking for her, but she just crawled up onto my lap and went to sleep, so I took her home. She spent the night with her head on my pillow, and I knew she belonged with me.
I was her world. She didn’t really like other people until I met my wife-to-be. The day Angelika came over to visit for the first time was the the last time Foxy was truly my dog. She abandoned me for the love of a tender woman, and who can blame her? I would have done the same. Then Angelika and I got married, and we became a happy family.
The three of us always walk together through our village from the hills to the lake. We get exercise and have fun because Foxy enjoys her walks and strolls through the neighbourhood like a 10-pound prize pony (马驹).
How sweet and lovely, you say, but there is a dark side to the little furball! Foxy is now a one-woman dog-she has totally bonded (建立关系) with my wife and won’t go for a walk at all if Angelika is out. She just lies in her bed by the window waiting for her angel to walk through the door, and I have to tell you, I feel a little rejected. But it’s pretty cute.
I understand animal bonding. My therapy dog, Mercy, was with me for over a decade, and we were a total item. In fact, it wasn’t until Mercy died that I decided to remarry. That’s how much unconditional love she gave me.
Now my wife is getting to experience that kind of bond for the first time. Young or old, big or little, when your dog finds you, it’s an amazing experience, and the love you feel just makes your life sweeter.
When you adopt an animal, remember that it’s a lifetime commitment. And if your pet falls for your other half, just enjoy watching the love.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary’s family was very poor; her mom worked as a cashier at a store and her dad worked as a guardian. However, Mary was studying at a famous private school that cost $15,000 each year. Even so, she didn’t really bring too much economic burden to her family. Being good at all her subjects, Mary could study there on a scholarship and she had no trouble paying almost all necessities.
At school, Mary always tried to pretend to be a girl from a rich family, because she’s afraid that others would be unwilling to make friends with her if they knew her family background. Everyone at the school had nice clothes and shoes, so it became harder and harder for Mary to keep up.
Mary’s friend Patricia had been planning a big party for her 16th birthday for two weeks, which was going to be held in the ballroom of a hotel. Mary had also been invited to the party. She wanted to wear a beautiful dress to the party, but she knew she could not afford it.
“Mary, what are you going to wear?” her friend Linda asked her. “I think I’ll wear the dress I wore at your birthday party last year,” Mary said in a low voice. Linda said, “You’re kidding me, right?” “Yeah, I am! You guessed it!” Mary said. For fear of being laughed at, she had to lie and in order to cover up her lie, she had to get a new dress.
Everyone would be wearing expensive and beautiful clothes, but Mary could only spent $30 on a dress. What could she do to get a new dress for the party? Mary was considering doing one more part-time job, but she had done three part-time jobs and couldn’t spare time for a new one.
