Ⅲ.阅读理解
It’s five minutes before the exam and you are in a state of panic.You just have to pass it，but how？You didn’t even open the book the night before and you hear a voice in your head saying “Cheat，cheat...” So what are you going to do，ignore it and fail or go for it？It’s a tough decision many students must make.
Most young people believe that cheating is wrong.However，they have cheated at least once in their high school years.So，why do they do it？Are they too lazy to study？Perhaps，it’s not as simple as that.According to some experts，one main reason why students cheat is because they see their friends get away with it.It’s an easy way out.They avoid embarrassment and their parents’anger for not doing well in an exam.Another reason is that students think it’s OK to cheat if the subject isn’t important for their future career.What’s more，most students have to put up with the pressure of getting into university.They need to get good marks to carry on with their studies.This means that there will always be students who will do anything for a better mark.
It has never been easier to cheat than it is today.With all the technology available，students needn’t cheat by looking over their shoulders anymore.They use mobile phones to send answers to each other during a test.There is also the Internet.With hundreds of websites，students don’t have to worry because they can find lots of material which they can copy and use in subjects.There are even tips on the art of cheating in exams.
Obviously，if you get caught cheating，you fail the exam in the subject.But it doesn’t really matter whether you get caught or not.What’s important is that it’s wrong.You mustn’t cheat because cheating is a lie.It deceives(欺骗) people into thinking you know more than you actually do.How can you be proud of something you have achieved through cheating？In the end，it’s not about deceiving your teachers and your parents，but about fooling yourself that you can do something you really can’t.
1．The tough decision that many students have to make before an exam is ________.
A．how to cheat
B．what to do if they fail
C．whether to cheat or not
D．how to keep calm
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的“...you hear a voice in your head saying ‘Cheat，cheat...’So what are you going to do，ignore it and fail or go for it？It’s a tough decision many students must make.”可知答案。
2．According to the experts，why do some students cheat?
A．Their friends ask them to cheat.
B．Cheating can help them please their parents.
C．They are too lazy to study.
D．The subjects are important for their future.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。第二段开头告诉我们绝大多数年轻人认为作弊是错误的，但是几乎每个人在高中时代都作过弊，在一些专家看来，作弊的原因包括：他们看到朋友们作弊却没被发现；不会因为成绩差感到尴尬或惹父母生气；考试科目不重要；为了考上大学努力取得好成绩，因此可知答案。
3．Students who want to cheat can find on the Internet ________.
A．papers of any subject
B．suggested answers to tests
C．other students’ projects about cheating
D．useful information which can help them
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第五句话“With hundreds of websites，students don’t have to worry because they can find lots of material which they can copy and use in projects.”可得出答案。

A．Students cheat to get into university.
B．Technology has made cheating easier.
C．Cheating can be explained but not be excused.
D．Cheating is a social and psychological problem.
答案 C
解析 主旨大意题。文章第一、二段论述学生们作弊的原因，第四段强调作弊是错误的行为，最终欺骗的是自己。因此归纳文章大意为：虽然作弊的原因可以解释，但是这种行为是不可取的，不能被原谅。
