One student took a box of chicken to class,another carried on a cell phone   31   and still another whistled loudly every time the    32   turned his back.

         Reform school? No. College.

         More and more, professors say, they are coming across   33    students in their classrooms. Many of today’s young scholars (学者) arrive late, leave  34  , talk loud or take care of personal   35   such as paying bills during class.

Why are the students behaving badly?

“Because they can,” said a student of University of North Texas. “A lot of the time, the professors let them get   36   with it.”

    Some educators say it is time to bring politeness back to their classrooms—and even   37   

taking some of the blame for bad behavior. They say that rude students are by no means the majority but that one of them can ruin an entire   38  .

People are   39   when they learn that impolite behavior is becoming more and more common in   40   education, says Dr Gerald Amanda, a counselor at City College of San Francisco. They   41   some high school students to misbehave but think those who get to   42   will behave more politely.

Dr Amanda believes that society in   43   has become more tolerant (容忍的) of rude behavior and   44   people in power, including professors, no longer   45   standards for   46  . That leads to a growing imprudence (轻率行为)   47   some college students. “There’s a great   48   of bad behavior in the world around them, and young people see it and   49   disrespect,” said Dr Amanda,   50   that sometimes students “have no idea that they are being rude.”

第二部分  阅读理解(共25小题,第一节每小题2分,第二节每小题1分;满分45分)

第一节,阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Bollworms are a traditional threat to cotton crops.Young ones feed on the boll,the part of the cotton plant that contains the seeds.

A bacterium known as Bt is able to kill bollworms and some other pests.Bt is the short form for Bacillus thuringiensis.It was discovered in the early twentieth century.Farmers began using Bt as a natural pesticide(杀虫剂).

Then,in the 1990s,researchers found a way to grow cotton plants that contain a Bt gene.The genetically improved cotton plant produces liquid that kills bollworms.Farmers around the world are now growing an estimated fourteen million hectares of Bt cotton.

Cotton bollworms also attack other crops.But scientists in China recently reported that Bt cotton may help prevent bollworm in other crops growing nearby.

The study involved crops grown in six provinces of northern China between 1992 and 2008.The study area contained three million hectares of cotton and twenty-two million hectares of corn,peanuts,soybeans and vegetables.

The researchers say the study suggested that Bt cotton not only controls bollworm on the transgenic cotton,but also may reduce its existence on other crops.And that reduction,they say,may decrease the need for insecticide use in general.

But the researchers also pointed out concerns.They say bollworms could develop resistance to the cotton plants designed to resist them.And they noted that insects called mirids have become “key pests” of cotton in China.They said this is because of a decrease in pesticide use made possible by Bt cotton.

The researchers say they do not believe that Bt cotton alone can solve all insect problems.Instead,they say farmers in China should consider it just one part of pest management systems.

41.What is Bt in this passage?

A.It's a kind of hi-tech invention.                    B.It's a natural bacterium.

C.It's a kind of pest.                         D.It's a man-made pesticide.

42.Bt cotton has all the advantages EXCEPT that ________.

A.it resists bollworms

B.it does good to other crops growing around

C.it reduces the use of insecticide

D.it helps to develop new insects

43.The underlined word “ones” in the first paragraph refers to ________.

A.bollworms           B.cotton crops          C.cotton seeds         D.pests

44.From the passage,we can infer ________.

A.farmers around the world are now growing a large area of Bt cotton

B.researchers are probably now searching for new ways to solve other cotton problems C.bollworms could not exist in Bt cotton any longer

D.Chinese scientists found the way to grow Bt cotton

E

I find it pleasant to be alone the greater part of the time; to be in company, even with the best, is soon tiresome and wasteful, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude (独处).

We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in the meeting-rooms, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space between a man and his fellows.

The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must do something with others to get pleasure at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer was in his.

Society is commonly too cheap:We meet at very short intervals (间隔) ,not having had time to get any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that unpleasant old cheese; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.

We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable (可忍受的); certainly less frequency would be enough for all important and hearty communications between men.

It would be better if there were but one to live within a square mile, as where I live ,for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him.

72.The writer uses the example of the farmer and the student to show that _____.

A.men need to do something for pleasure after their work.

B.men are not lonely when they are working.

C.solitude is necessary for a student.

D.people have different ideas of solitude.

73.When the writer says:“Society is commonly too cheap” he means that ______.

A.we meet not frequently enough so we don’t understand each other well.

B.we eat cheap food and live a simple life so we don’t feel very happy.

C.our lives are too regular for us to find any happiness in them.

D.people don’t have enough hearty communication to realize the value in others

74.The writer’s opinion on the value of a man is that _____.

A.it is made too low by the rules of etiquette and politeness.

B.it can be discovered through frequent physical touch.

C.it can be found in a man’s appearance.

D.it doesn’t lie in physical touch.

75.The writer almost believes that ______.

A.a student and a farmer have no idea of solitude.

B.the same life we live every day is the cause of man’s loneliness.

C.etiquette and politeness are rules that make frequent meetings tolerable.

D.less frequent meetings can make us more clear about the value of men.
