Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage your have just read.(A)Ralph and Ilene hadnt been to a baseball game in about five years. They lived only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took them about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself. One day, they decided to go to a game. They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is Californias original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily. California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thingspeed up! The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance. Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap. Ralphs instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him. “Dont thank me, my friend. Put your hands behind your back, please. Youre under arrest.” “What?” Ralph was astonished. “Whats going on?” “Buying scalped tickets(黃牛票) is illegal in Los Angeles, and weve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.” said the man. “Dont worry. Well have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!” 65.Why didnt Ralph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?A. Because they were not very interested in baseball.B. Because they lived far away from the stadium.C.

Some students, they said, are so lazy they dont even bother to take the ads off the cut-and-pasted text.Fifty-eight percent of the teachers interviewed in the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) questionnaire had come across plagiarism among their pupils. Gill Bullen from Itchen College in Southampton for example said pieces handed in by two students were identical(一模一樣的) and “significantly better than either of them could have done.”“Not only that, the essays given in didnt quite answer the title question I had set.” A teacher from Leeds said: “I had one piece of work so obviously cut and pasted that it still contained adverts from the Web page.”Connie Robinson from Stockton Riverside College, Stockton, said: “With less able students it is easy to spot plagiarism as the writing style changes mid-assignment, but with more able students it is sometimes necessary for tutors to carry out Internet research to identify the source of the plagiarism.”Mary Bousted, general secretary of the ATL, said: “Teachers are struggling under a mountain of cut-and-pasting to spot whether work was the students own or plagiarism.” She called for robust policies to fight plagiarism, and asked for help from exam boards and the government in providing resources and techniques to detect(檢測) cheats. But there was another side. “I have found once students clearly understand what plagiarism is, its consequences and how to reference correctly so they can draw on published works, plagiarism becomes less of a problem,” said Diana Baker from Emmanuel College, Durham. “I think the majority of students who engage in plagiarism do it more out of ignorance than the desire to cheat.They really want to succeed on their own merit.”72.What does the word plagiarism probably mean? A. Stealing other peoples property.B. Cheating in school exams.C. Copying others words or ideas.D. Buying someone elses essays.73.Why is it easier to spot plagiarism with less able students? A. They forget to take the ads off the cut-and-pasted text.B. Their essays are much better than they could have done. C. Their mid-term essays dont go with the title questions.D. The language in their essays does not follow the same style. 74.What can we learn from Diana Bakers words?A. Plagiarism is not a serious problem for most schools in UK.B. Most students do not quite understand what plagiarism is.C. Students should learn how to make good use of published works.D. Students should be encouraged to achieve success on their own.75.What is this passage mainly about?A. Plagiarism from the Internet brings harm to university teachers and students.B. Teachers should be provided with resources and techniques to fight plagiarism.C. Teachers should help students to achieve success through hard work.D. Plagiarism from the Internet has become a pressing concern in UK schools. (D)I have never heard about a “Fashion Week” outside of New York, London or Milan. But then one just happens to turn up in Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan. Actually, Im ignorant of all those countries in Central Asia, whose names are always ending in stan. For decades, even centuries, Central Asia has been out of focus, a blank on the map of empires. Just as the introduction from Turusbek Mamashov, from the Tourism agency of the president of the Kyrgyz Republic, says, “Throughout this Fashion Week project, we need to create a revolution in the minds of our people, preparing the country for the international tourism market. It is an opportunity as well as an investment.” What he says is right. If you just give it a glimpse(一瞥), youll find out that the flavor(風(fēng)情) of the Silk Road is still there. As part of the route for Silk Road traders and migrating tribes through its epic(史詩的) history, Kyrgyzstan, like other Central Asian countries, is a vast place of desert, grassland and mountain ranges. It is not widely known that Kyrgyzstan is the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bais birthplace. Bishkek, the place holding Fashion Week, is the capital and industrial center of independent Kyrgyzstan. It is a relaxed, handsome place with wide streets and large amounts of greenery. Especially in the autumn of November, the yellow leaves falling everywhere make the whole city a legend in fall. The mountains are just at its rear, in that case a unique scene of picturesque beauty is composed by snow-white peaks, lakes and the urban Landscape. Today, Ala-Too Square is the center of the poetic places worth seeing in Bishkek. The “White House,” the seat of the Kyrgyzstan Government, is just at the west of the square. Behind this is Panfilov Park, a great place to head for a national holiday. The State Museum of Fine Arts is opposite, which is also called the Gapar Aitiev Museum of Applied Arts, featuring Kyrgyz jewelry, rugs and works by local artists. One of the joys besides the scenery is the openness of the people. Bishkek is a city without a big population but mainly good-natured people from many races, 47 percent are Russian and about a third are Kyrgyz. Most travelers vote Kyrgyzstan as the most appealing, accessible and welcoming of the former Soviet Central Asian republics. It is wri
