Scottish pupils recently were part of a new scheme that allowed them to take their exams online. Those examinations provided a glimpse of the future in May when 120 candidates in 10 centers in Scotland sat in front of computers to take a multiple-choice online exam. Although candidates were using a computer mouse instead of a pen, in all other ways the exam was the same as normal.

Exam rooms were set out to ensure that only the candidates and the teachers were able to see the individual screens. The online answers were sent directly to a safe area. According to the students at St Ninian’s in East Renfrewshire who took an online French exam, it was definitely the most motivated they had ever felt when taking an exam.

“I could go as fast as I wanted to, rather than as slow as everyone else wanted to,” said one. “It was better than looking back and forth between the questions,” said another. One pupil even described it as fun.

Their head teacher, Dorothy Graham, was not so surprised, “They are so used to doing things on computers that it seems natural for them. The boys liked it because they didn’t have to worry about how neat their work was.” The only things that worried her were power cuts and systems’ crashing.

It’s thought that online exams could be the norm (常態(tài)) in about five years. However, last year there were warnings about computerizing exams in England and Wales. It’s thought that it could be unfair to some students if they come from homes without access to a computer.

1. In the first paragraph the underlined word “candidates” probably means _________.

A. teachers who are supposed to prepare the test

B. people who grade the students’ papers

C. teachers who oversee the students in the exam rooms

D. pupils who take the online exam

2.Pupils who take this kind of exam _________.

A. do not need to write the answers down

B. must write the answers clearly with a mouse

C. have to answer the questions very quickly

D. can answer the questions for as long as they like

3. Why do people think it is unfair to some students without computers at home?

A. Because they are not able to take the exam at home.

B. Because they can’t be allowed to take the exams if they don’t have computers at home.

C. Because they can’t operate computers as well as those who have computers at home.

D. Because they are worried about how neat their work is.

4.According to the head teacher, pupils won’t be able to take the exam if _________.

A. they don’t have a computer at home

B. the computer system breaks down

C. the teacher sees individual screen

D. they take pens into the exam rooms

5.We can learn from the passage that it is mainly about ________.

A. computers in modern schools

B. taking exams online

C. testing computers in classroom

D. taking a multiple-choice exam

Papa’s jaw dropped when Mama told him that Sister had cheated on her final exams—not to succeed but to fail. “It’s unbelievable!” he said. “Sister has always been so proud of her good grades!”

“Yes, she has,” said Mama. “But it’s not unbelievable. It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team.”

“She never said anything about that to me.” said Papa.

“Of course she didn’t,” said Mama. “She was afraid you’d blow your top. You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt?”

“Oh, my gosh!” Papa said, “I’ve been so stupid! I just thought she’d want to be a champion swimmer because she’s so good at it.”

“It’s like anything else, dear,” said Mama, “No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won’t want to do it anymore.”

“She must be really mad at me,” he mumbled (嘟噥). “Maybe I should say sorry to her.”

Sister’s footsteps could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents.

“Honey,” said Mama with a smile, “Your papa and I have decided that there’s no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don’t want to.”

Sister’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. She ran to Papa and jumped into his arms, giving him a big hug. “I’m going to play cards with Lizzy!” she said. “See you later!”

From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny road toward Lizzy’s house.

“It’s good to see her happy again,” said Mama.

“Well, it’s not too late, anyway.” Papa said.

閱讀下列四篇短文，從每小題后所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。

It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the frogs and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (殺蟲劑) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading (傳播) diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

1.From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers __________.

A. worked very hard for centuries

B. were poor but satisfied

C. dreamed of having a better life

D. lived a different life from their forefathers

2.Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A. The frogs made too much noise.

B. They needed money to buy medicine.

C. They wanted to please the visitors.

D. The frogs were easy money.

3.What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

A. There were too many insects.

B. The crops didn’t do well.

C. The visitors brought in diseases.

D. There were too many frogs.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B. Health is more important than money.

C. The harmony (和諧) between man and nature is important.

D. Good old day will never be forgotten.
