Many of your classmates cheat, so when you see them cheat and get good grades, you want to cheat as well. Students should not cheat.It is students' responsibility (责任) to get knowledge for college and life.People should know that cheating is wrong and feel some kind of guilt when they do it even though they may please their parents and teachers in Stacey, 14 10th Nov. 2020 Crystal, 16 10th Nov. 2020 this way. Edison, 17 11th Nov. 2020 It makes me feel good when I have a chance to cheat but I don't. In the eighth grade, we were taking a test and everyone got up out of their seats when the teacher left the room. But I didn't. I'd like to look at my report card and say honestly, “This is my grade.” Sharon, 18 12th Nov. 2020 There's no doubt that cheating is wrong. Also, it's unlucky that so many students feel the pressure (压力) to cheat. For me, cheating is just a waste of time because it takes more effort (努力) to cheat than to study. I understand the pressure to cheat, but I don't agree with it. I think, well, cheating is OK if it's the teacher's fault. You know, if a teacher isn't making the material understandable, you have to do something to keep your grades up. But it's not OK when the reason is just “I’m lazy,”“I’m tired,”“I don’t like it,”or “I would rather sleep Fiona, 16 in class.” 13th Nov. 2020 【文章大意】 本文列举了五个人对考试作弊问题的观点。 1.Which statement is the best to be put into at the beginning of the passage?

Scientists in the UK have grown a living human “brain”. The team at Aston University created tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system.
They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson's disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He explained,“We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works.” The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤) and making them behave like brain cells.
Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, the chief leader of the research group, said,“It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆) .”
The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal tests and is being supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT).The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said,“We hope our research will provide scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research.”

解析:
1.darkness 考查名词。夜幕降临了,fell为谓语动词,用名词作主语。故填darkness。
2.leading 考查非谓语动词。road为被修饰词,与lead为主动关系,用现在分词作后置定语。
3.higher 考查形容词。根据句意,爬得越高,天气越冷。 4.it 考查代词。it作形式宾语,to see the road作真正的宾语。 5.poorly 考查副词。修饰动词应用副词。
6.examination 考查名词。a为不定冠词,quick为形容词,因此用名词作主语,故填examination。
7.left 考查非谓语动词。left作后置定语。
8.and 考查连词。and连接got out of the car和went for a walk up the hill。 9.that/which 考查定语从句。that/which引导定语从句,在从句中作宾语,
可以省略。
10.to 考查介词。pushed the car to the top of the hill把车推到山顶。
