My fifth grade teacher was an expert at catching students who cheated. He was 53 (in the sense of/ in the habit of/ in the case of) letting us grade our own papers.

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand-he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.
What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight, which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices show that these parts of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Today's artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint an infected leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain part of the world, each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something-all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 71. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Every artist wants to say something to the public. B. Every artist wants to teach the public.
C. Every artist wants people to learn good character from him. D. Every artist wants to say something new.
72. Why is it difficult to explain the purpose of an artist's work? A. Because the artist says something too new to understand. B. Because the artist uses shapes and colors to teach you something. C. Because the artist uses difficult words to explain his work. D. Because the artist wants to draw something mysterious. 73. The contribution of the artist is that his work can help us _____. A. feel the happiness that he got from the work
B. notice the shapes and colors C. know some of his experience D. all of the above
74. Most artists take their shapes and colors from _____. A. nothing in particular
B. the work of other artists
C. the parts of the world that are worth looking at D. a lake in moonlight
75. The author mentions two painters in the last paragraph in order to tell us _____. A. each painter is trying to teach us something
B. the first painter is realistic C. the second painter is romantic D. their painting skills are different
Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.
It was so quick and easy. A fourteen-year-old boy in Scottsdale, Arizona, put his $50 bill on a color copying machine. Within seconds he transformed $50 into $550, and he was ready to shop.
Twenty years ago only a few people had the skills or equipment to make fake money. Today computer, copier, and printer technology is so good that almost anyone can \casual faking machine. These machines are called casual because they don't have special skills and because they don't need to plan much.
The number of bills made by casual fakers on their home or office computer is growing fast. In fact, this number has doubled every year since 1989! There is no way to stop faking 100 percent. But the government has recently found a few ways to make casual faking very difficult.
One way is to put very, very small words, called microprints(微型印刷品), in hidden places on the bill. The words are only 6/1000 inch. No one can read them without a magnifying glass, a special glass that makes things look bigger. And they are too small to come out clearly on a copier. If someone copies a bill that has microprints and you look at the copy through a magnifying glass, instead of microprinted words, you will see only black lines.
Another way to stop people from making fake money on their home computers is to use special color-changing ink. Money printed with color-changing ink will look green from one angle and yellow from another. Home computers cannot use color-changing ink. So any copies from a home computer will have normal ink and can be noticed quite easily.
Additionally, money is made on special paper with very small pieces of red and blue silk mixed in. And on each bill there is a special line that runs from the top to the bottom of the bill. Suppose, for example, that you hold a $20 bill up to the light. If you do this, you can see the line has the words \ twenty\light. This line and the special paper with red and blue silk are not easy for home computers to copy.
The government must try many different ways to stop faking. It needs to keep changing the way money is made because fakers can learn to copy the changes. Today copiers can't copy microprinted words or color-changing ink. But, in a few years, who knows?
76. It can be concluded from the first three paragraphs that ________. A. most children above the age of 14 can fake money B. new high technology makes money faking easier
C. anyone who has a computer can fake money
D. casual faking machines are called casual for the reason that no skills and planning are required 77. The word \
A. making larger B. making smaller C. making clearer D. making easier 78. You can be sure that the bill is faked when ________.
A. you see microprinted words on the bill
B. you see green ink from one direction and yellow from another on the bill
C. you see a special line on the bill that runs from the top to the bottom and that has such words as \ hundred\ D. you see normal ink on the bill
79. In the last paragraph the second sentence is a(n) ________ of the first. A. explanation B. definition C. analysis D. description 80. The author ends the article with ________.
A. a conclusion B. an idea and a worry C. a prediction D. a review Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care about most. I know this from personal experience.
Email (电子邮件) makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun-see a great film, perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With email, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
Email is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use email to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.
