Fifty–eight percent of the teachers interviewed in the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) questionnaire had come across copying among their pupils. Gill Bullen from Itchen College in Southampton, for example, said, "Pieces handed in by two students were identical and significantly better than either of them could have done. Not only that, the essays handed in didn't quite answer the title question I had set". A teacher from Leeds said, "I had one piece of work so bravely cut and pasted that it still contained ads from the web page."  
Connie Robinson from Stockton Riverside College said, "With less able students it is easy to spot copying as the writing style changes in the middle of the assignment, but with more able students it is sometimes necessary for tutors to carry out Internet research to identify the source of the copy."
Mary Bousted, general secretary of the ATL, said," Teachers are struggling under a mountain of cut-and-pasting to spot whether work was the student's own or copy." She called for policies to stop copying, and asked for help from exam boards and the government in providing resources and techniques to detect cheats.
But there was another side. "I have found once students clearly understand what copying is, its consequences and how to reference correctly so they can draw on published works, copying becomes less of a problem," said Diana Baker from Emmanuel College, Durham.
"I think the majority of students who engage in copying do it more out of ignorance than the desire to cheat. They really want to succeed on their own."
53. The passage mainly wants to tell us ____________.
A. the benefits of the Internet for students
B. web copying is a serious problem in the UK
C. the ways to find web copying for teachers
D. how we can use the Internet to do homework
54. The underlined word “identical” (Paragraph 1) probably means ____________.
A. excellent
B. contrasting
C. the same
D. complex
55. What is TRUE according to Connie Robinson?
A. It’s not easy to find the less able students copy from the Internet
B. It’s difficult to find whether the more able students have copied.
C. The less able student will not change their writing style when copying.
D. The more able students needn’t copy from the Internet.
56. What’s the writer’s attitude towards “copying”?
A. The writer doesn’t tell us.

D
What is a good education? The question is far from being answered. Once more, colleges and universities are changing their programs: they drop "fun courses" and restart some of the traditional subjects neglected (忽视) since the 1960s. Many great schools are again requiring the students to take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences, and art if they want to get a degree. Meanwhile, the experts are trying to describe the good education of our time. Obviously the purely vocational training once favored is not enough. But neither is the gentleman's education of the nineteenth century. Educational programs must meet the demands of a modern world where men and women have to work and to deal with big problems.
What, then, is a good education of this century? Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures; a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world, and also because "a person who doesn't speak and write clearly doesn't reason clearly either"; some knowledge of the social sciences (sociology, psychology) that deal with human relations and human problems; some basic knowledge of modern science, which would enable future voters to be better informed about current problems like nuclear. Finally, many educators insist that all college graduates should be familiar with computers and modern information system since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines. Is that all? "No, of course not." answer the educators. "We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education: history and literature!"
71.The best title for this passage might be _______.            
A.Education           B.A Mastery of English
C.A Good Education   D.Something About Study
72.The underlined word "drop" in the first paragraph means _______.
A.desert       B.dislike      C.decline     D.neglect
73.The author thinks that the question about what a good education is _______. 
A.has been answered fairly well                     
B.hasn't been put forward yet
C.has been dealt with successfully                   
D.has not been answered satisfactorily
74.Some educational experts believe a mastery of English should include the ability _______.
A.to read fast                        B.to write and speak well
C.to write clearly and accurately    D.to listen and speak skillfully         
75.Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?      
A.Educational programs must meet the demand of a modern world.
B.The students will not get a degree unless they take a number of classes in English, history,
literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences and art.
C.A good education should include foreign language and the study of foreign culture.
D.Every student ought to take part in military training.

It was a cold grey day in late November. The weather had changed overnight, when a backing wind brought a pale sky and a muzzling rain with it, and although it was now only a little after two o’clock in the afternoon the gray of a winter evening seemed to have closed upon the hills, surrounding them in mist. It would be dark by four. The leather seats felt damp to the hands, and there must have been a small crack in the roof, because now and again little drips of rain fell softly through, polluting the leather and leaving a dark – blue stain like a spot of ink. The wind came in, at times shaking the coach as it traveled round the bend of the road, and in the exposed places on the high ground it blew with such force that the whole body of the coach trembled and swayed, rocking between the high wheels like a drunken man.
The driver, muffled (裹住) in a greatcoat to his ears, bent almost double in his seat in a faint endeavor to gain shelter from his own shoulders. The few passengers pressed together for warmth, exclaiming all together when the coach sank into a heavier rut (车辙) than usual, and one old fellow, who had kept up a constant complaint ever since he had joined the coach at Truro, rose from his seat in anger; and, feeling with the window – frame, let the window down with a crash, bringing a shower of rain upon himself and his fellow – passengers. He thrust his head out and shouted up to the driver, scolding him in a angry voice for a rogue and a murderer; that they would all be dead before they reached Bodmin if he persisted in driving at dangerous speed; they had no breath left in their bodies as it was, and he would never travel by coach again.
41.What is the main image the author gives in this description?
A.In terrible weather, a coach was running fast in mud with complaining passengers on it.
B.On a cold and rainy day the coach broke and the driver was repairing it on the road.
C.On a cold night the driver and the passengers felt very cold and struggled in the rain.
D.The bad condition of the road resulted in the bad mood of the passengers.
42.Which of the following is correct according to the text?
A.The windows were tightly closed, so the cold air was kept outside the coach.
B.The spot of ink stained leather, so the seats felt damp to the hands.
C.Most probably the roof of the coach was broken.
D.There was a drunken man swaying constantly on the coach.
43.The expression “muffled in a greatcoat to… his own shoulders” implies         .
A.the driver felt very cold and tried to change his seat
B.the driver felt comfortable by doing in that way
C.The driver felt very cold and tried to gain warmth
D.The driver tried to protect his ears and shoulders
44.We can learn from the text that         .
A.the coach was running slowly due to the bad weather
B.an old passenger who got on the coach at Truro was angry about the windows
C.one of the passengers on the coach was a murderer
D.the few passengers let out exclamations as the coach moved violently

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。                          
For Senior 3 students, choosing which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time in their entire school lives. This is also true for an American girl named Melanie in the film, College Road Trip, which was released in the US on March 7.
Melanie’s dad, James Porter, is the chief of police for a Chicago suburb. Incredibly security obsessed(困扰), he wants Melanie to attend nearby Northwestern University, where she’s already been accepted. But Melanie, 17, really wants to go to Georgetown in Washington, D.C., where she’s been wait-listed.
When she gets an unexpected interview, she decides to take a road trip with a few close female friends. Melanie believes it is her first step toward adulthood.
But despite the fact that this trip is “girls only”, James isn’t comfortable with the prospect of his little princess exploring the world without him. He wants to protect her.
James joins the girls and hopes he can convince her to go to Northwestern. While Melanie’s father only has the best of intentions, his presence leads to an endless series of comic encounters.
After following their faulty GPS device deep into the backwoods, James and Melanie discover her little brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare tire compartment(隔间). What should be a simple tire change results in the expensive car rolling down a mountain, forcing them to hike to a nearby hotel. There the pig ruins an outdoor wedding reception after eating an entire bag of coffee beans.
All these disasters add spice to their trip while along the way a father and a daughter finally get the chance to really talk to each other.
The film explores the parent-child relationship in a comic way: The discrepancy(不同) between how close James thinks he is to Melanie and how little he actually knows of her plans makes us laugh first and then think. 
All parents, whether they have college students or not, can relate to the bittersweet realization that their kids are growing up. Like what Melanie and James have done in the film, we all can find the delicate balance between staying connected and letting go.
51.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.It’s unclear whether Melanie could be accepted by Northwestern University.
B.Northwestern University isn’t so famous as the university in Washington D.C..
C.There is no hope that Melanie will be accepted by the university in Georgetown.
D.Melanie’s father prefers her to stay not too far away from him.
52.We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.their car rolled down the mountain, ruining the wedding reception
B.a hotel was destroyed by Melanie’s brother and his pet pig
C.Melanie and her father got to understand each other better after so many encounters
D.the girls had to give up their trip because of the incidents on the way
53.What does the underlined word “released” mean?
A. set free                    B. known              C. shown               D. developed
54.The main purpose of the passage is to _______.
A.introduce the newly-released film
B.call on parents to learn to balance the relationship with their children
C.tell a story which happened between an American girl and her father
D.explore the differences in parent-child relationship between the west and the east

C
A car needs gas to run as your body needs food to work for you. Eating the right kinds of food is very important. A good eating habit can help your body grow strong if you take care of what you eat.
There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all of these foods together, you will be given enough energy during the day.
It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may be easier to eat fish and chips for your supper all the time. But you will find yourself tired and you will not be able to think quickly.
Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having good eating habits with some exercise is the key to your health.
