Professor Bilveer Singh marks hundreds of papers each year. In every group, he says,

there are always a few that are less than original. Nowadays, the suspect source is usually the

Internet. “I’ve caught students quoting paragraph after paragraph,” says Singh. “But they are

getting smarter.” Hence the rise of “A and A” or “alteration and amendment”: cutting a

sentence here, pasting a phrase there, all the while using the on-screen terms to replace

complicated words with age-appropriate ones.

For all its benefits, the rise of technology in the classroom has made it far easier for

students to cheat—and get away with it. In the pre-wired days, plagiarism meant carefully

copying paragraphs out of the books; today, kids can simply find the text, copy and paste—a

much simpler and neater process. The practice is becoming popular around the globe.

According to a survey by the Josephson Institute for Ethics, 74% of US high school students

cheated in 2002. (“And those are just the ones admitting it,” says the Institute’s Terry

Harrison.)

Fortunately, the same technology that makes it so easy for students to cheat is aiding

teachers in catching them. The most popular anti-plagiarism service compares a student’s

term paper with everything on the Internet, as well as to its own database of papers. (Of

course, as many teachers know, Google, another well-known search engine company, works

pretty well, too.) It has users in 51 countries; in Britain, nearly all 700 public universities

have signed up for the service.

Educators are trying to upgrade their in-class measures as well. Experts say teachers

should make it more difficult for students to “cut and paste” by changing the assignment

every year and requiring more analysis than description. And teachers shouldn’t assume that

kids even know what plagiarism is, as many just aren’t taught how to source or reference

properly. But even when they know better, kids might do the same under the heavy academic

pressure and time limits they face. Critics blame parents and educators for emphasizing

results over academic honesty.

4．The “A and A” phenomenon mentioned in paragraph 1 summarizes __________.

A．the progress of the digital age B．the new features of cheating in schools

C．the rise of computer technology D．the application of the Internet

5．The underlined expression “the pre-wired days” in paragraph 2 refers to the time

before__________.

A．electricity was used B．the wire was invented

C．the computer was widely used D．the radio and television came into being

6．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．The rise of computer technology makes it easier for students to cheat.

B．Teachers are trying to find new measures to combat cheating in schools.

C．Computer technology can be used to detect cheating by students.

D．Teachers are praised for their emphasis on students’ academic results.

7．The last two paragraphs are mainly concerned with__________.

A．some measures to fight against plagiarismB．the importance of academic honesty

C．some well-known search engine companies D．experts’ suggestions on anti-

plagiarism

When I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by

chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I

realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year

could offer me experiences I had never had before.

For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list

includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic

Ocean is a paradise ( 乐园 ) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience

cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal ( 地热的 ) baths while the snow

is falling on their head.

The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public
