第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A．B．C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Taking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them. When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting. One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head. After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no-one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said.“It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way,’ Rungruangkitkrai added.56. Why was the university criticized on the Internet?

A．The homemade anti-cheating hat looked too simple.

B．Wearing the anti-cheating hat made students look ridiculous.

C．Wearing the anti-cheating hats couldn’t prevent students from cheating in the exam.

D．The university forced students to wear the anti-cheating hat.

57. What’s most of the Kasetsart University students’ attit
ude towards the cheating hat?

A. skeptical B. supportive C. objective D. negative

58. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.

A. It’s useless wearing the anti-cheating hat in the exam.

B. Kasetsart students are often caught cheating in the exam.

C. Wearing the anti-cheating hat is effective in some degree.

D. Some students are forced to wear the anti-cheating hat.
