But for those with Internet access, relative resources are just a few links away. All one has to do is to go to the appropriate Web site, where online papers can either be purchased, ordered, or downloaded for free. Collegiate Care Research Assistance, for instance, may do the job. Do you want to write a paper on Hamlets irreconcilable moral dilemmas? Simply hand over $29.75, and the essay is yours. Some sites, such as Term Paper Emporium and Absolutely Free: Online Essays offer course papers for free. Simply press the button and download if you find the paper you want, that is. Students are, of course, fully aware of these web site resources, and some people worry that the Internet, once regarded as a best learning tool, could become the best aid yet for cheating. For teachers, the problem is figuring out whether a students authorship is authentic. But, as teaching assistant Jane Morrison explained, the task may not be too difficult for a careful teacher. Students who have gotten it off the Internet dont look at me but look at their feet. And students who wrote every bit of it can talk about the paper very intelligently and look me in the eye, Morrison said. Copying term papers is nothing new, but the appearance of the Internet raises the issue: Is this new technology making cheating more widespread? A senior official Gary Handman at Berkeley doubts it. Students who tend to cheat are going to cheat regardless of the technology. This view was backed by Berkeley graduate student Arianne Chernock, who says that, after all, students have to decide whats best for themselves. Its a question of honesty. Were here to learn, so weve got to make the most of it ourselves. And inventive teachers can make their assignments almost cheat-proof. If you structure the assignment in a creative way, and if students, for instance, have to transform the information into a handout, or do a drama, or write an account in first person narrative, then you may stop cheating, said library media teacher Leslie Farmer. That kind of strategy, some experts say, will basically force students to do more than simply download their education.50.

Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption(消費) on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they dont sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others products to developing their own.Celebrity clothing lines arent a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today theyre started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.However, for every success story, theres a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the products origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities, it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial(最初的) attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty(忠誠) returning to tried-and-true labels.Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebritys shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the egos(自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashionlike celebrityhas always been temporary.43. Fashion magazines today .A. seldom put models on the coverB. no longer put models on the coverC. need not worry about celebrities market potentialD. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly44. A change in the consumer market can be found today that .A. price rather than brand name is more concernedB. producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisementsC. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisementsD. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned45. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly .A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his productsB. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general publicC. cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show businessD. influence the price of a celebritys products46. The passage is mainly about .A. celebrity and personal styleB. celebrity and market potentialC. celebrity and fashion designD. celebrity and clothing industry【參考答案】43-46ADAB 【2012浙江省寧波市八校聯(lián)考】D閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。Coming to the football match this afternoon? Bill McIntosh asked 59-year-old Royce Wedding as they drank beer at the Eureka Hotel in the Australian town of Rainbow. Royce shook his head. I promised Mom Id burn off the weeds on one of our fields. Bill, looking far less than his 79 years, looked outside at the heat. A light breeze was blowing from the north, making conditions perfect for the burn. But Bill felt uneasy about Royce doing the job alone. The farmer had a bad leg and walked with great difficulty. The pair had been best of friends for 30 years, ever since the days when they traveled together from farm to farm in search of work. Now, living alone 12 miles east of town, Bill managed a living hunting foxes and rabbits. Once a fortnight he went to town to buy supplies and meet with Royce, who helped run the Wedding familys farm. Ill give you a hand, Bill said. The pair set off in Royces car. Soon they came to the weed-choked 120-acre field. Fires the only way to get rid of this stuff, said Bill as they tied an old tire to the tow bar(牽引桿)with a 50-foot chain. Soaking the tire with gasoline, Bill put a match to it and jumped in the car. Driving slowly from the southern edge of the field, they worked their way against the wind, leaving a line of burning weeds in their wake. Half way up the field, and without warning, the car was stuck into a hidden bank of sand. The breeze suddenly swung around to their backs and began to gather strength. The fire line suddenly burst into a wall of flame, heading directly toward them. Lets get out of here! Royce said. Desperately he tried to back the car out of the sand bank. But the wheels only sunk deeper in the soft sand. Suddenly the fire was on them. Bill pushed open his door only to find himself thrown up into the air as, with a roar, the gasoline tank exploded and the car leapt three feet off the ground. When it crashed back down Royce found himself pinned against the steering wheel, unable to move. The cars seats and roof were now on fire. Bill lay where he fell, out of breath. The front of his shirt, shorts, bare arms and legs were soaked in burning gasoline. Then the sight of the car in flames brought him upright with a start. Royce! he cried, struggling to his feet and heading for the car. Pulling open the door, he seized Royces arms through the smoke. Im stuck, Royce said. Get yourself away! The fire bit at Bills arms, face and legs, but he caught a tight hold on Royce. Im not leaving you here, he said. Now Bill dug his heels into the sand and pulled as hard as he could. Suddenly he fell backward. Royce was free and out of the car. As soon as he had dragged him away he patted out the flames on Royces body and on his own legs and arms with his bare hands. Royce saw a second explosion rock the car, as it was eaten up by flames. “Id be ashes now if Bill hadnt gotten me out,” he thought. Looking down, Royce was shocked by the extent of his injuries. His stomach and left hip were covered in deep burns. Worse still, his fingers were burned completely out of shape. Lying on his back, Bill was in equally bad shape. Pieces of blackened flesh and skin hung from his forearms, hands and legs. Bill looked across at his friend. Reading the despair clouding Royces face, Bill said, Ill get help. You hang on. Royce nodded, but as he watched Bill set off slowly across the blackened field, he wondered how his friend was going to walk almost two miles and get over three fences. A lifetime spent around the tough people who make their home in the Australian bush had permanently fixed into Bills soul two principles: never give up no matter how bad the odds and never let a friend down. Now, with every step sending pain piercing through every part of his body, he drew on those twin pillars of character. If I dont make it, Royce will die out there, he told himself over and over. Whats the matter with that dog? said Vicky Wedding, Royces mom, looking out of her window. Frightened by a noise behind her, she turned to see Bill leaning against the door. Dear God, what happened? she
