Pinkard says, “Were seeing more of the kind of person who re

21、gards 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 Diensbier, psychology professor at theUniversityofNebraskainLincoln, believes that societys attitudes account

22、for much of the increase in cheating.“Twenty years ago, if a person cheated in college, society said: That is extremely serious, you will be dropped for a term if not kicked out permanently, he says. “Nowadays, at theUniversityofNebraska, for example, it is the stated policy of theCollegeofArtsand S

28、is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that “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 w

29、ork, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life meant in 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 walkin

30、g distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It 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-establ

31、ished order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life and “town life almost alike.

34、lage as being “dead are wrongB. the two statements are against each otherC. “village life today is rather uninterestingD. “village life today is no longer like what it used to be32.

From the passage we can see that the writers attitude toward “vi

37、llage life is _.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclearPassage 4We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator(赤道), although often they may feel unfortably hot there. Millions do it. But as for the North Pole(北极)we know that it is not only a dangerously col

38、d place, but that people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the scientists and explores can do so, and they use special equipment. Men have been traveling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; bu

39、t only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole.

41、her hand, you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18,000 or 20,000 meters.Aeroplanes cant climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm air. Nor can clouds. In practice, this is an advantage to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the

42、 polar region and so does not need to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.36. “Millions do it.(Para1, sentence 2) In this sentence “do it refers to _.A. feeling unfortably hot on the equatorB. flying over the North PoleC. flying over the equatorD. making homes on the equ
