9、within the rules, and you want it badly enough youll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret and youre willing to run the risk of being caught. Thats how Ladd Wheeler, psychology professor at the University of Rochester in New York, defines cheating.Many experts believe cheating is on the rise.
10、 “Were suffering a moral breakdown. Pinkard says, “were seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as a series of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether its the persons interest “. He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students.Richard Dienabier, P
11、sychology(心理学) professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that societys attitudes account for much of the increase in cheating.“Twenty years age, if a person cheated in college, society said: That is extremely serious, you will be dropped for a term if not kicked out permanently, h

There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that
16、 “Village life is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline (衰落) about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive toda
17、y who can remember. What “village life meant the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It
18、meant going to bed early to save lamp oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motor
19、car were steadily operating to make “village life and “town life almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life. “ It is just life, and that a better life.Finally, if we ha
20、ve any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups.

21、r, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.11. By saying that village is not dead, but “village life is dead, the writer suggests that (D. “village life today is no longer like what is used to be.)12. It was (C. with electricity and motorcars i
22、ntroduced into the village) that “village life began to take a sharp turn.13. As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past (A. lived a simpler life than villagers today)14. The expression “. There is no point whatever in talking about in paragraph 3 means that (D. there is no reason for tal
23、king about)15. From the passage we can see that the writers attitude toward “village life is (A. positive)Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their on the equator (赤道), although often they may feel uncomfortably h
24、ot there. Millions do it. but as for the North Pole(北极) we that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so, and they use special equipment. Men had been traveli
25、ng across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over th
26、e North Pole than over the equator. Of course, this is not true about landings in the polar region (which passenger aeroplanes do not make), but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5,000 meters above the Pole, is a delight. At 4 000 meters and more above the earth you can always be that you
27、 will not see a cloud in the sky as far as the eye can reach.

Nor can clouds. In practice, this
28、 is an advantage to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not need to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.16. “Millions do it.
