“In our time,” Marx once wrote, “change is upon the world and cannot be stopped as we wish. The thing now is to understand it.” Marx devoted his life to understanding that change.

Born in Trier in 1818, he came from a rich, middle—class family. Many of his relatives believed in Judaism,but his father had changed to believe in Protestantism(新教) in order to become a lawyer. After studying at the universities of Bonn and Berlin, Marx became interested in politics in his early twenties and in 1848 wrote The Communist Manifesto, together with his life-long friend Friedrich Engels.

Revolution broke out throughout Europe in 1848 and Marx was forced to leave Germany when it failed in 1849. He moved to London, where he spent the rest of his life, working in the British Museum.

His stay in the house in Dean Street in Soho was a time of great hardship for Marx and his family. He was surviving almost on the money provided by Engels and on the very little money he earned as the foreign reporter for a newspaper in New York.

Three of his six children died during the time in Soho and, Marx even had to borrow money in order to bury one of them. Only when Marx’s wife Jenny got 120 pounds after her mother died was the family able to move out of Soho and into a slightly better house in Kentish Town.

Marx died on March 14th ,1883, and was buried in Highgate Cemetery in north London.

      A．For his son’s education.                       B．For his career development.

       C．Not to be looked down on.                     D．To move to another country.

61．Why did Karl Max leave Germany?

       A．He was offered a job by the British Museum.      B．He couldn’t find work in Germany.

       C．The political situation was very dangerous for him. D．He wanted to write a book.

62．Which of the following statements is true?

       A．Karl Marx lived a happy life in Soho, London

       B．Karl Marx suffered the death of more than half his children

       C．Karl Marx was born in a poor family

An Australian 3-year-old was described as a hero after saving his mum from an almost certain death by calling emergency services right after she collapsed(because of an epileptic attack (癲癇發(fā)作).

Aiden McDonald amazed the doctors who arrived at Jeanine McDonald’s house 10 minutes after Aiden called 000. The boy was very calm and spoke to the doctors as his mother got into an unconscious state.

Sasha Lewis took the strange call and sent out an ambulance immediately. Aiden answered questions during the 19-minute call that made it clear it was a serious matter.

Lewis said: “He sounded worried and was telling me things like ‘Mummy is not awake’, so I got an idea that it was a fairly serious matter.”

“How old are you, sweetheart?”

“I got a clock.”

“Can I talk to Mummy?”

“I can’t get my Mummy.”

“Where is she?”

“Do you live in Kallangur?”

“We’ve got milk in the fridge and, um, (pause) I can’t find the ambulance (crying), Mummy, Mum ... Mum ... Mum ...”

Mrs McDonald, who was making a cup of tea when she collapsed, was taken to hospital and allowed to leave the same night. “After hearing what he did I thought, no, that can’t be right,” Jeanine McDonald said. “But I’m so proud.”

It has been more than twenty years since pioneering British computer programmer, Sir Tim Berners Lee, created the World Wide Web. But could he have ever imagined how much the web would change our lives? And would he approve of how some British students are taking advantage of his invention?

Universities and exam boards around the UK are becoming increasingly concerned with the rising number of cases of plagiarism, many of which are facilitated (助長) by the Internet access.

In the UK most school and university students complete coursework throughout the academic year which contributes toward their final mark. In many cases coursework makes up the main part of the qualification. Since coursework is completed in the students’ own time it cannot be monitored by teachers in the same way as an exam.

Derec Stockley, director of examinations in the UK, explains, “Plagiarism affects coursework more than anything else, and in the cases that come to our attention, more and more are linked to the Internet.”

At a university level recent reports suggest that plagiarism has evolved from separate cases of individual cheating to systematic and even commercial operation. Students can now pay for bespoke essays to be written for them by experts.

It is estimated that the market in online plagiarism is now worth 200 million pounds a year. Every month more and more websites offering to write student’s essays for them appear on the Internet.

Barclay Littlewood, owner of Degree Essays UK employs 3,500 specialist writers and charges between 120 pounds and 4,000 pounds per essay. However, Mr. Littlewood refutes the accusation that he is helping students to cheat.

51．What dose the underlined word “plagiarism” in Paragrha 2 mean in the passage?

    A．cheating    B．problems of the Internet     C．learning pressure    D．coursework

52．Which of the following statements is mentioned by the author?

    C．The Internet seems to have contributed much to the problem of online plagiarism.

    D．Teachers should lay more emphasis on exams than coursework.

53．It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to _____.

    A．blame Sir Tim Berners Lee for having created the World Wide Web

    B．worry about the quality of students’ coursework influenced by the World Wide Web

   C．be in favour of Littlewood’s defence against the accusation of him

    D．have studied the problem of online plagiarism for nearly 20 years

The repairman told me, “No charge Professor Pan! We’re friends．” “I’d rather pay,” I replied．“If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”

Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, "We’re friends now!" But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!

According to the Americans, "There’s no free lunch," meaning that there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means．Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return．For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him．"Wait until you have something major to fix! "he insists．

I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread．A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花崗石)．

Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (糾紛) and just hand over the money．But cash can’t compensate(補(bǔ)償)for the greatest gift--friendship．

When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping(呷)tea, he said, "They  must have nothing better to do．""Actually, "I said, "they are professors, with plenty to do．But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do．And neither do I!" And I joined the group．We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived．One man said, "They were pocket-sized when you came here．Now

they’re taller than you．How time flies!"

     How life flies．And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep．They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend．And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive．So the next time someone says, "No charge．We’re friends! " I will thank them heartily．But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch．

64．The author insisted on paying repairman while he was offered free repairs because he     .

       A．was an honest man

       B．didn’t know the repairman

       C．thought it natural to pay for others’ service

       D．didn’t want to help others in return

65．Generally, the author thinks that Chinese are _________．

       A．generous and always ready to help their friends

       B．good at exchange of equal values

       C．free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends

       D．helpful but don’t treasure time

66．The best title of the passage should be “       ”.

       A．Learn to Both Give And Receive    B．A Good Lesson from Chinese

       C．True Help or Not                    D．Still No Free Lunch

67．Which of the following is TRUE?

       A．The Chinese would rather not take the money to avoid problems in social communication.

       B．When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself.

       C．The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life.

       D．The author thinks little of Chinese way of life.
