(1)A Mexican teacher, named Texis, made high-school students wear boxes on their heads to prevent them from copying on an exam. He has been accused (指责) of breaking the basic human rights (权利) of his students, after a photo of him (2) overseeing an exam where the students wore boxes on their heads went viral (疯传) online. The students’ parents shared the photo on social media and asked educational authorities in Mexico to let him go.
The photo of the students wearing boxes with cut-out eye holes that only allowed them to see in front without turning their heads has been shared thousands of times since last week and was picked up by mainstream media as well. However; instead of condemning (谴责) the teacher, most users congratulated him for finding an effective way to prevent cheating.
“Excellent work, teacher, this does not harm them and in fact parents should worry more about their children studying than about some boxes that teach them a great lesson,” one person said. ‘Excellent technique, congratulations to the teacher.’ someone else wrote.

【解析】
本文主要讲的是意为墨西哥教师为防止学生作弊,让学生头戴纸箱考试的照片在网上疯传后,有人指责其违反了学生的基本人权,但是也有人支持这位老师的做法。
1.分析句子可知,A Mexican teacher“一个墨西哥的老师”;named Texis“名叫特克斯”,是后置定语修饰前面的名词;made sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”;wear boxes “戴纸箱”;on their heads“在他们头上”;prevent sb. from doing sth.“阻止某人做某事”;copying“抄袭”;on an exam“在一次考试中”。故填:一位名叫特克斯的墨西哥老师让高中生头上戴着盒子,以防止他们在考试中抄袭。
2.根据“ teacher”和“an exam”可推断,他是考试中的监考老师,overseeing是“监考”的意思,故选C。
3.根据“The students’ parents shared the photo on social media and asked educational authorities in Mexico to let him go.”可知家长们想让教育局开除这位老师,故填They want to let Texis go.
4.根据“... boxes with cut-out eye holes that only allowed them to see in front without turning their heads...”这个带眼孔的盒子,只允许他们在不回头的情况下看到前面,in front“前面”,故填in;front。
5.题干中给出的句子是because引导的原因状语从句,意思是“因为他找到了一种有效的防止作弊的方法,大多数用户都向他表示祝贺。”,文中与此意思相同的是“most users congratulated him for finding an effective way to prevent cheating”(大多数用户都祝贺他找到了防止作弊的有效方法),句首首字母大写。故填:Most users congratulated him for finding an effective way to prevent cheating.
