2024屆高考英語一輪復習課時知能訓練：人教版選修八 Unit 4《Pygmalion》
課時知能訓練Ⅰ.閱讀理解
(2024·廣東葉塘中學高三月考)It has been more than twenty years since pioneering British computer programmer，Sir Tim Berners Lee，created the World Wide Web.But could he have ever imagined how much the web would change our lives？And would he approve of how some British students are taking advantage of his invention?
Universities and exam boards around the UK are becoming increasingly concerned with the rising number of cases of plagiarism，many of which are facilitated (助長) by the Internet access.
In the UK most school and university students complete coursework throughout the academic year which contributes toward their final mark.In many cases coursework makes up the main part of the qualification.Since coursework is completed in the students' own time it cannot be monitored by teachers in the same way as an exam.
Derec Stockley，director of examinations in the UK，explains，“Plagiarism affects coursework more than anything else，and in the cases that come to our attention，more and more are linked to the Internet.”
At a university level recent reports suggest that plagiarism has evolved from separate cases of individual cheating to systematic and even commercial operation.Students can now pay for bespoke essays to be written for them by experts.
It is estimated that the market in online plagiarism is now worth 200 million pounds a year.Every month more and more websites offering to write student's essays for them appear on the Internet.
Barclay Littlewood，owner of Degree Essays UK employs 3,500 specialist writers and charges between 120 pounds and 4,000 pounds per essay.However，Mr.Littlewood refutes the accusation that he is helping students to cheat.

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
No One Dares to Help
On a recent Sunday，I was buying groceries in a supermarket when I heard the sound of a car accident.It was close but not very close，so I continued shopping.
As I took a right turn on Munadhama Street，I saw a man lying on the ground in a small pool of blood.He wasn't dead.
The idea of stopping to help or to take him to a hospital crossed my mind，but I didn't dare.Cars passed without stopping.Pedestrians and shop owners kept doing what they were doing，pretending nothing had happened.
I was still looking at the wounded man and blaming myself for not stopping to help.Other shoppers peered at him from a distance，sorrowful and sympathetic，but did nothing.
I went on to another grocery store，staying for about five minutes while shopping for tomatoes，onions and
other vegetables.During that time，the man managed to sit up and wave to passing cars.
No one stopped.No one did anything.No one lifted a finger.
The wounded died alone the street.The only reaction came from a woman in the grocery store.In a low voice，she said，“My God，bless his soul.”
An offer of aid could have saved the man's life.

To help or not to help
From the passage we know that the writer witnessed a car accident and found no one wanted to help the injured driver，feeling helpless and guilty.As a result，the driver died on the road.
I was greatly shocked by the people's reaction to this accident.People present there had different attitudes towards it，but they refused to lift a finger even when the injured driver sat up to wave to passing cars.If I had happened to be present at the scene，I would have come to his help and sent him to the nearest hospital or called for help by dialing the telephone number of an emergency center.We might have saved the driver's life had we helped him without delay.
This accident reminded me of the other day when a woman was seen knocked down by a passing car and one of her legs was bleeding.Just at that time，I called a passer-by for help.I sent the woman to a local clinic with the passer-by at once.At last the woman was saved.She expressed her great gratitude to us for having helped her.
In our life，we should learn to be kind to people in trouble and offer a helping hand to them.
