The Amazon rainforest is in urgent need of the protection, or global warming will speed up. D Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their criticsseem to hate them because they think this entirely unproductive industry should absorb millions of pounds each year. Why don't they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? The poor consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is preciselybecause of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods comes largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway bylawswhile waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not exist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!

Fifty–eight percent of the teachers interviewed in the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) questionnaire had come across copying among their pupils. Gill Bullen from Itchen College in Southampton, for example, said, "Pieces handed in by two students were identical and significantly better than either of them could have done. Not only that, the essays handed in didn't quite answer the title question I had set". A teacher from Leeds said, "I had one piece of work so bravely cut and pasted that it still contained ads from the web page."  

Connie Robinson from Stockton Riverside College said, "With less able students it is easy to spot copying as the writing style changes in the middle of the assignment, but with more able students it is sometimes necessary for tutors to carry out Internet research to identify the source of the copy."

Mary Bousted, general secretary of the ATL, said," Teachers are struggling under a mountain of cut-and-pasting to spot whether work was the student's own or copy." She called for policies to stop copying, and asked for help from exam boards and the government in providing resources and techniques to detect cheats.

But there was another side. "I have found once students clearly understand what copying is, its consequences and how to reference correctly so they can draw on published works, copying becomes less of a problem," said Diana Baker from Emmanuel College, Durham.

"I think the majority of students who engage in copying do it more out of ignorance than the desire to cheat. They really want to succeed on their own."

53. The passage mainly wants to tell us ____________.

A. the benefits of the Internet for students

B. web copying is a serious problem in the UK

C. the ways to find web copying for teachers

D. how we can use the Internet to do homework

54. The underlined word “identical” (Paragraph 1) probably means ____________.

A. excellent

B. contrasting

C. the same

D. complex

55. What is TRUE according to Connie Robinson?

A. It’s not easy to find the less able students copy from the Internet

B. It’s difficult to find whether the more able students have copied.

C. The less able student will not change their writing style when copying.

D. The more able students needn’t copy from the Internet.

56. What’s the writer’s attitude towards “copying”?

A. The writer doesn’t tell us.

B. The writer feels angry about it.

C. The writer thinks it doesn’t matter.

D. The writer approves of it.

阅读理解。
     Each year, an area the size of Beijing plus Shanghai disappears from the Amazon rainforest. On September
30, 2008, Brazil announced that the rate of deforestation increased more than three times in the past year.
     The Amazon rainforest covers around 4.1 million square kilometers of Brazil, nearly 60 percent of the
country. The rainforest supports at least 10 percent of the world's known species. The 17 million people who
live in the Brazilian Amazon depend on the land for their homes and livelihoods. Brazil is the world's biggest
beef and soy exporter. Farmers need land for crops and to feed their cattle. Some burn patches of forest to
clear the land. Others cut down trees for wood. They build roads to transport the wood.
     Brazil's economy is growing, but that growth comes at a price. In May, Brazil's environment minister,
Marina Silva, quit her job. For six years, she tried to protect the forest. But she felt she was losing the battle
against those who are eager to make money in the Amazon.
     The Amazon is the planet's largest absorber of carbon dioxide, a gas that can trap heat in the atmosphere.
A world Wildlife Found study shows that 55 percent of the Amazon could be gone by 2030. Without those
trees, billions of tons of carbon dioxide would stay in the atmosphere. They would speed up global warming.
     Brazilian researchers say that temperatures in the Amazon region will rise by two to three degrees by 2050.
That, and the resulting lower rainfall, could turn 30-60 percent of the forest into grassland with only scattered
trees.
1. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means _______.
A. a certain forest station
B. the loss of the trees
C. the slow growth of trees
D. an increase in trees
2. In the opinion of the writer, the economic growth of Brazil is based on _______.
A. the development of modern science and technology
B. the world's biggest beef and soy export
C. the gradual destruction of the Amazon rainforest
D. the environmental protection of the Brazilians
3. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. Marina Silva had devoted herself to protecting the rainforest before she quit her job
B. Marina Silva is determined to fight for the conservation of the rainforest in any case
C. Marina Silva began to hold the post of Brazil's environment minister in 2005
D. The majority of Brazilians have joined Marina Silva in protecting the rainforest
4. What the writer really wants to tell us is that _______.
A.55 percent of the people in the Brazil Amazon will have to leave their homes by 2030.
B. The living standard of the Brazilians has been greatly raised in the past few years.
C. The Amazon rainforest is the planet's largest absorber of carbon dioxide.
D. The Amazon rainforest is in urgent need of the protection, or global warming will speed up.
