London—Lazy students can now give up on work altogether as two Oxford University students have made scores of A-grade essays(論文)on the website for students to copy.
The essays are on the new website,“revise.it.”
The website includes an “Essay Lab”designed to make cheating(舞弊)as effective and effortless as possible.
Its homepage announces to surfers(網(wǎng)上沖浪者):“The revise.it Essay Lab is a bank of hundreds of A-Level essays covering popular topics.”
“Next time you are asked to write an essay,why not see what we have on the subject—if you are in a lazy state of mind you can even use our guide to writing the essays and then just hand them in.”
Nick Rose and Jordan Mayo,both 19 and first from Manchester,spent much of their first year as students at the university setting up the website.There is no charge for downloading the essays.
“I have never been very good at essay writing,”Rose admitted.“We don’t see essay bank as a cheating way.It’s a surprising valuable resource.You can learn a lot by reading other people’s work on the subject.”
Among other tips,the website suggests inventing important speeches to give essays extra weight:“Popular people to quote(引用)are Douglass Hurd or Disraeli.”
Hurd was a foreign secretary in the 1980s and Disraeli was a 19th century prime minister.
Teachers are expressing their opinions by e-mail that they are angry about the website that “encourages students to cheat”,but students disagree.
According to Rose:“Exams are a fight.It’s us against them.”
65.It can be inferred from this passage that______.
A.students who visit the website“revise.it”are all lazy
B.students in Oxford University are all lazy
C.websites in Oxford University are all set up by students
D.websites can provide people with different kinds of information
66.Nick Rose and Jordan Mayo set up their website for the purpose of______.
A.helping students to cheat in exams
B.helping students to improve their writing
C.making money to pay for their schooling
D.making their teacher free
67.What Rose said at last suggests that in England______.
A.it is difficult for students to pass their exams
B.it is difficult for teachers to finish their teaching
C.students are not satisfied with the education system
D.students are too lazy to learn anything

Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants,nurses,sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs.Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours.
Many of these wage-earners return in the end.In the meantime,they send home huge amounts of money—in the Philippines’ case,over 10% of its GDP.Between January and November,the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005.Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting(勞務(wù)輸出) countries.They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars.As for those Asian countries that import(輸入) labour,as in Europe,falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers.
On January 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN) signed an agreement to help migrant(流動(dòng)的) workers—with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders.A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries,but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers.So the true total is probably rather higher.
Of the ten ASEAN countries,the Philippines,Indonesia,Myanmar,Cambodia,Vietnam and Laos export labour,Singapore and Brunei import it,and Thailand and Malaysia do both.Sziraczki of the UN’s International Labour Organization points out that,in the next ten years,the total labour force of the worker-exporting countries should grow by about a third.It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control.
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs.Most Thais said their government should admit(準(zhǔn)入) no more foreign workers,and a few thought otherwise.Even in Singapore,just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers.Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates(犯罪率).
小題1:It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that______.
A.the country is Asia’s main source of migrant workers
B.labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP
C.the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems
D.the country both exports and imports labour force
小題2:The flow of labour is a growing problem because______.
A.there is a greater flow of labour than reported
B.more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C.some countries suffer from low birth rates
D.the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers
小題3:For the labour-importing countries,the flow of labour may lead to______.
A.higher birth rates
B.lower crime rates
C.greater money inflows
D.stronger job competition
小題4:The writer of the text seems to______.
A.support the flow of labour between countries
B.report fairly on the question of labour flow
C.express his worries over the ASEAN’s decision
D.regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem

One interesting note: among the self-made women, 90% got their money from owning a business, rather than   10  a salary.
As for   11   , almost all the women (90%) described their spending habits as 'below their means.' The report on the survey said that is 'possibly   12  they do not view their extreme wealth as defining their success.
'Women tend not to spend as much as   13  and splash(潑灑得使到處是) their names all over the place,' said one woman in the survey, describing her spending as conservative and he lifestyle as 'below the radar.'
Many women also worried about wealth having   14   effects on their children and didn't want to spend lavishly(揮霍) to   15  a bad example.

Three years ago, five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona, thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey where they had been looked after by zookeepers. No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their kind for 50 years. To the researchers’ surprise, they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time. Within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure, and the poor birds were back in cages, on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme.
Ever since then, the programme has enjoyed great success, mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild, confiscated (沒(méi)收) on arrival north of the border, and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme. The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology (心理) of parrots, as Peter Bennett, a bird researcher, points out: “Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult. People like parrots, always treating them as nothing more than pets or valuable ‘collectables’.”
Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out, biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds. Last year was an important turning point: conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust, based at Hayle in Cornwall, to support research into both wild and caged birds.
Research on parrots is vital for two reasons. First, as the Arizona programme showed, when reintroducing parrots to the wild, we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home. We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets, particularly as the Trust’s campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice, but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans.
小題1:What do we know about the area where the five parrots were reintroduced?
A.Its landscape is new to parrots of their kind.
B.It used to be home to parrots of their kind.
C.It is close to where they had been kept.
D.Pine trees were planted to attract birds.
小題2:The reintroducing experience three years ago shows that man-raised parrots
A.can find their way back home in Jersey
B.a(chǎn)re unable to recognize their parents
C.a(chǎn)re unable to adapt to the wild
D.can produce a new species
小題3:Why are researches on parrots important according to the passage?
A.The Trust shows great concern for the programme.
B.We need to know more about how to preserve parrots.
C.Many people are interested in collecting parrots.
D.Parrots’ intelligence may some day benefit people.
小題4:According to the passage, people are advised ______.
A.to treat wild and caged parrots equally
B.to set up comfortable homes for parrots
C.not to keep wild parrots as pets
D.not to let more parrots go to the wild

Money, or the lack of it, changes everything, and that includes how people will be working out in 2010.
In these belt-tightening times  1 , cost-conscious workouts(鍛煉)at home and at the gym topped the list of fitness trends for this year in a survey, followed  2  by shorter, more time-efficient regimens, such as  3  boot camp(強(qiáng)力集中訓(xùn)練) and circuit training.
"People are looking  4  for ways to accomplish as much as possible with as little  5  time and money as necessary," said Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise (ACE), which conducted the online poll of fitness professionals.
"Last year money was on the list but this  6  year the majority of the respondents put  7  it as one of the top," he added.
Bryant said some 600 ACE-certified fitness  8  professionals responded to the annual poll  9 , which the non-profit organization has been conducting for a decade.
Other money-saving measures  10 , such as the shift from personal training sessions to small group training  11  classes and in-home workouts  12  using smaller, more portable equipment, also made the list.
"Personal trainers are seeing they've got to respond to market needs  13  . Working with two to four clients at a  14  time they can charge less  15  but still get their hourly fee," Bryant said.
Boot-camp workouts and circuit training, both of which burn  16  calories while building strength and endurance(持久性), will be among the most popular trends in 2010, as time-constrained(受壓制的) consumers  17  seek shorter, more intense activities.
One bright spot is the rise of exergaming-type systems, like Nintendo's Wii Sports, Wii Fit and the PC-based Dancetown. Bryant says the fitness-based video games are turning up  18  in health clubs and senior centers.
Functional training workouts, which are geared to improving the quality of life and the ability to perform everyday tasks, will remain strong  19 , and the use of computerized tracking and online training and scheduling tools will increase  20  in the coming year.
(   ) 1. A. times           B. years            C. centuries        D. societies
(   ) 2. A. caught          B. followed         C. covered      D. conducted
(   ) 3. A. such like       B. in other words   C. such as      D. that is to say

ple — their clothes, ideas, or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree(可可樹(shù))by South American. Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Eu??rope, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish peo??ple starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine (饑荒)" of 1845—1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.
according to an. Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee, bush. He tried one and experienced the " wide-awake" feeling that one third of the world’s population now starts the day with.
小題1:according to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?
A.Food.B.Clothing.C.Ideology.D.Language.
小題2:The word "some" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to________.
A.some cocoa treesB.some chocolate drinks.
C.some shopsD.some South American Indians
小題3:Thousands of Irish people starved during the " Potato Famine" because________
A.they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat anything else
B.they were forced to leave their homeland and move to America
C.the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing potatoes
D.the potato harvest was bad
小題4:according to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.One third of the world’s population drinks coffee.
B.Coffee is native to Colombia.
C.Coffee can keep one awake.

A
For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective (形容詞) “fashionable” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable color.”
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.
41  From this passage we know that “fashion” means _________.
A  clothes   B  many things    C  most of the popular things    D  everything
42  Which of the following things is fashionable today?
