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.

　　West Point is a college for future army officers．It has more than four thousand students, called cadets(士官生)．The school is located about eighty kilometers north of New York City．

　　West Point is the oldest continuously occupied military post in the United States．General George Washington built a fort(要塞)there during the Revolutionary War to protect the Hudson River from the British．He moved his headquarters to West Point in seventeen seventy-nine in the middle of the war．

　　In eighteen hundred and two, President Thomas Jefferson signed legislation(立法)to establish the military academy．The education centered on civil engineering．West Point graduates designed many roads, bridges, harbors and railways for the young nation．

　　Today, math and science are still a large part of the education．But cadets can choose from almost fifty areas of study．If cadets major in the humanities(人文學(xué)科), they must have an engineering minor(副科)．

　　Not all the young men and women at West Point are American．This year, fifty-eight are from other countries．Up to sixty cadets can be international students．

　　International students are chosen by their governments．They must satisfy physical and educational requirements and do well in the Test of English as a Foreign Language．After graduation, they return home to serve in their nation's armed forces．Other services besides the Army also accept foreign students at their academies．

　　Major Joe Sowers, a West Point public affairs officer, says information is available through American embassies．He says the presence of international students at West Point serves a purpose for the Army．He says：“Cultural understanding, cultural awareness is essential for a modern-day officer．Now we have cadets from Panama and cadets from African countries, which doesn't necessarily increase your knowledge on how to interact in Iraq or Afghanistan．At least not specifics, anyway．But you’ve begun the process of understanding that the world is bigger than your hometown and West Point and the United States of America．But I think the big reward is at the individual cadet level, establishing relationships with those who come from much, much different backgrounds．”

America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. To day, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect（影響）American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior（行為） is suitable（合適）at various , ages.

　　A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

　　Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says“Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

　　67．It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________ .
