单选题Passage 1 Results showed that at least a tenth of the Harvard first-year undergraduates polled admitted to having cheated on an exam prior to starting at the university, while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework. An anonymous survey by Harvard's newspaper has revealed a surprising pattern of academic dishonesty among studertts entering the US universities. The survey by The Harvard Crimson was emailed to the incoming first year undergraduates; 1,600 students responded. Results showed that at least a tenth of the students polled admitted to having cheated on an exam prior to starting at the university, while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework. Athletes were apparently the most prone to cheating. 20 percent of students who played a university sport admitted to cheating on an exam compared to 9 percent of students who did not. The survey also revealed that men were not only more likely to cheat but were also more likely to admit to it. The results, compared to a previous survey done on the class of 2013, suggested that cheating may be becoming more commonplace. Of the outgoing seniors only 7 percent admitted to cheating in an exam and another 7 percent said they had been dishonest on a take-home test. 32 percent of the seniors said they had cheated on homework during their undergraduate years. The surveys come in the wake of a cheating scandal at the university which saw 120 students investigated for sharing answers on an exam in 2012. One recent graduate stated: "Cheating was commonplace when I was at Harvard, especially with students in their first year or two. I would say as many as 60 per cent of students took notes into some exams. No one really cared the faculty, well some of them at least, seemed to recognize and yet ignore the problem." In an email to NBC News, Jeff Neal, a Harvard representative, explained that a committee, made up of faculty, staff and students had been established to tackle cheating, which "is a national problem in American education". He added: "While the vast majority of Harvard and other students do their work honestly, beginning this year Harvard College has implemented a new, more robust strategy of communicating with all students, particularly first-year students, about the importance-and the ways to achieve- academic integrity." In a rebuff to critics who say university has become little more than an expensive party, 84 per cent of the responding undergraduates fully expected to prioritize their academics over extracurricular activities, sport, employment and their social lives. Not a single student put academics at the bottom of their list. Not content with confining themselves to their degree subject, 59 percent of incoming students expressed a desire to pursue a secondary field of study, and 36 percent hoped to learn a language.What does the author mean by saying "The results,... suggested that cheating may be becoming more commonplace." (Para. 4)?A After the previous survey in 2013, more students are found cheating.B More cheating students were under the survey this time.C No measures are taken to manage the phenomenon of cheating.D Most students don't pay attention to their cumcula.

单选题Which of the following is true about the Internet according to the passage?A Americans were more in contact before the advent of the Internet.B The Internet is weakening the tie of social networks.C If you use the internet, you are more likely to get help from network members.D Internet users are more likely to receive help from non-users.

Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to protnote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed. Within a society, social changes is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements. Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp difference. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society. B.Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social change. C.Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society. D.Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young.

Near the beginning of his presidency,Barack Obama gave a speech to Congress that laid out a goal for the future:"By 2020,America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.At the time,America was 12th,according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Almost a decade later,and with 2020 not far off,where do things stand?The percentage of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 who had earned an associate's degree rose only by 7.4 percent be-tween 2007 and 2017-a difference of more than 5 million people,according to the U.S.Census Bureau's American Community Survey.Still,that puts America at 10th in the world,according to the latest available data But even though progress has been made,the data remain quite uneven.A pair of reports released on Wednesday by The Education Trust,an advocacy group for low-income and minority students,break down the attainment data more finely.They found that the share of black adults who hold a bachelors or associate's degree--31 percent-is roughly two-thirds that of white ones-47 percent.And Latinos,at about 23 percent,are just half as likely.Further,the report shows,there is not a single state in the country where black and Latino adults are as likely to have earned a college credential as their white counterparts At the root of these differences in attainment rates are social and economic disparities that continue to benefit certain races over others.Still,graduation rates have improved over the past decade,particu larly among latinos,as a report from the left-leaning Center for American Progress shows--and there is a significant difference between the rates of native-born Latino adults and those who were born outside of the United States.（The latter are less likely to have earned a degree.It's these race-by-race attainment rates that the report advises policymakers to pay attention to-overall graduation rates can obscure how the educational system underserves certain groups More than 40 states have outlined goals for these attainment rates in the past decade,often including specific goal rates for black and Latino residents.What can be done to reach those goals?Well,for one,lawmakers can make sure race factors centrally into policy conversations-and that can look different for different states.For some,it could be as simple as diverting more resources to campuses that primarily serve minority students.A recent report from the American Council on Education,a leading higher-education trade group,found that minority-serving institutions have a special knack for changing students socio economic fortunes of students.Such institutions--including historically black colleges and universities and Hispanic-serving institutions-propelled students from the lowest rung of the economic ladder to the highest at least double the rate of colleges that were not focused on enrolling a particular minority What should be done to increase the attainment ratesA.The government should allocate more resources to the minorities. B.The leaders should fully consider the different races when making policies. C.More independent educational organizations should be built for the majorities. D.The social and economic status of minority students should be enhanced.

问答题Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.　　In the United States today, many people want a college education. However, almost half of the people who go to college now do not attend a four-year college. Instead, they go to a community college.　　The community college offers a two-year course of study in a wide range of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry.　　Some people choose a community college because of cost. The tuition for a semester at a community college can be less than half the cost of a semester at a four-year college. Also, since these colleges are located in large communities, their students can save money by living at home.　　Community colleges are also useful for people who have jobs and who do not have time for a traditional four-year college. Some of these people take night courses at community colleges. Others complete long-distance courses, in which they stay at home and use video-tapes, audiotapes, and the Internet.　　Community colleges also serve high school graduates who only achieved low grades. Many of these students would not be admitted to a four-year college. If they do well, they may go on to a four-year college.　　Today, the country’s 1,500 community colleges have more than 10 million students. These colleges are making it possible for more and more people to continue their education.　　Questions:　　1．What is the passage mainly about?　　2．What does theyin paragraph 1 refer to?　　3．In which fields does a community college provide job training?　　4．Why do people often prefer to go to a community college?　　5．What does the word tuitionin paragraph 3 mean?
