3．Everybody cheats．Whether it's the taxi driver who tricks a visitor and takes them the long way round，or the shop assistant who doesn't give the correct change，or the police officer who accepts a bribe （賄賂）-everybody's at it．Cheats in the nest include the scientist whose research was based on fake data，the game show competitors who worked with a friend in the audience or win a million pounds，and the doctor who made up his qualifications and wasn't really a doctor at all．Everybody cheats； nobody's playing the game．
    Is cheating acceptable，a natural way of surviving and being successful？Or is it something that should be frowned on，and young people discouraged from doing？If it's the latter how can we explain to children why so many bend the rules？
Take sport for example．The Word Cup was filled with cheating．Whether diving，pretending to be hurt or denying a handball，footballers will do anything for a free-kick or a penalty shot．France striker Henry denied cheating to win the free-kick which led to his side's second goal in their 3-1 victory over Spain．Many footballers，however，are often putting it on．Whatever the nationality there's one common ploy：the player rolls over holding their leg，ankle or head seeming to be in great pain．As a result a yellow card and/or free-kick is given for the foul and then，a few seconds later，the player is up and about as if nothing had happened!The ref （裁判） may be taken in by it but youngsters watching the game aren't．they also see their heroes getting away with it．
Of course it's not just football．In 1998 the Tour de France，the world's greatest cycling event，was hit by a drug-taking scandal （丑聞）．The 40 bottles of forbidden drugs found with the Fustian team caused a massive investigation that almost caused the Tour to be abandoned．One rider，Veronique，was banned for 9 months．He claimed："You have cheats in sport，just as you do in business-there will always be people trying to take a short cut．At least we're not turning a blind eye to the problem，which other sports are．"
Is it all unavoidable？There's huge pressure on all athletes to perform for their fans and for their sponsors．It's success，money and power that rule professional sport rather than an honest at tempt to do the best one can．
Meanwhile companies around the world are losing billions of dollars to fake products．From cut price CDs and DVDs to sportswear，cheap fake products are everywhere．It has become socially acceptable to buy fake Gucci bags and illegal copies of films．If parents are doing this，their children will follow．
So perhaps it's not surprising that around the world more pupils than ever are caught cheating during exams．In one case missing exam papers were put up for sale on the Internet．In another，widespread cheating took place by pupils using their mobile phones to receive tested answers．They blame the pressure put on them to do well in exams．It doesn't help that their role models are alos cheats．Surely we can't complain when we're setting such a bad example．
50．According to the passage，in which way can a game show player cheat？B
A．By taking an indirect way．
B．By gaining aid from a friend．
C．By taking forbidden drugs．
D．By selling fake products．
51．The phrase"be frowned on"（Paragraph 2）most probably meansA
A．to be disapproved of                                    
B．to be pushed forward
C．to be taken the place of            
D．to be stuck with
52．The writer's suppose for writing this passage is toD

分析 本文作者批判了社會(huì)上作弊普遍的社會(huì)現(xiàn)象．作者列舉了世界杯足球賽的假裝受傷而罰對(duì)方的例子，也舉了世界環(huán)法自行車比賽，抄近路的作弊案例，還有學(xué)生考試通過(guò)手機(jī)發(fā)短信作弊．作者指責(zé)人人在作弊，這樣為孩子樹立了壞的榜樣．

解答 50．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段的the game show competitors who worked with a friendin the audience or win a million pounds可知，游戲節(jié)目的選手與一個(gè)在觀眾中的朋友合作或贏得一百萬(wàn)英鎊．所以游戲節(jié)目的選手通過(guò)獲得朋友的幫助而作弊，故選B．
51．A 詞義猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)第二段的and young people discouraged from doing？阻止年輕人這樣做，根據(jù)and前后意思相近，可知阻止也就是不贊成．故選A．
52．D 作者意圖題．根據(jù)第一段的Everybody cheats； nobody's playing the game每個(gè)人都作弊，沒(méi)有人在真正比賽．說(shuō)社會(huì)上作弊的事太多了，作者列舉了世界杯足球比賽，環(huán)法自行車比賽，揭露了里面作弊的內(nèi)幕，旨在責(zé)備世人對(duì)作弊過(guò)于容忍．故選D．
53．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段的Many footballers，however，are often putting it on．可知，足球比賽經(jīng)常有作弊的，所以作者舉這個(gè)例子是為了展示作弊在現(xiàn)在是很常見的現(xiàn)象．故選A．54．C 主旨大意題．根據(jù)最后一段的Surely we can't complain when we're setting such a bad example．可知，當(dāng)然當(dāng)我們樹立了這樣一個(gè)壞榜樣時(shí)，我們不能抱怨．所以大人作弊，孩子也作弊．故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀，考查學(xué)生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的理解把握和推理判斷能力，做題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

8．Half of the world's population is affected by Asian monsoons （季風(fēng)），but monsoons are difficult to predict．American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons，which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions
Every year，moist （潮濕的） air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India，East Asia，Northern Australia and East Africa．All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south．
According to Edward Cook，a weather expert at Columbia University in New York，the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict．In addition，climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use．Therefore，he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia，looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records．They measured the rings，or circles，inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places．
Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees．The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas．It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries，beginning in the 1300s．
Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry weather．"If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one，the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring．But if the monsoon is very strong，the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year．So，the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability．"With all this information，researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons．
"There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts．And on the other hand，if the monsoon is particularly heavy，it can cause extensive flooding．"said Eugene Wahl，a scientist with America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration．"So，to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been，dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail，I would call it a kind of victory for climate science．"

50．What's the passage mainly about？D 
A．The effects of Asian monsoons．
B．The necessity of weather forecast．
C．The achievements of Edward cook．
D．A breakthrough in monsoon prediction．
51．It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons becauseB．
A．it is hard to keep long-term climate records．
B．they are formed under complex climate systems．
C．they influence many nations．
D．there is heavy rainfall in Asia．
52．What can be inferred from the passage？A 
A．Long and detailed climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research．
B．The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1，300 years．
C．The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak．
D．The rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon-affected areas．
53．According to Professor Cook，the rings of the treesC．
A．determine the regional climate．
B．have a great influence on the regional climate．
C．offer people information about the regional climate．
D．reflect all kinds of regional climate information．
54．What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl？A 
A．It is a great achievement in climate science．
B．It should include information about human life in the past．
C．It has analysed moisture models world wide，
D．It will help people prevent droughts and floods．
55．Which of the following best describes the tone of this passage？A 
A．Matter-of-fact    B．Pessimistic    C．Humorous    D．Friendly．
