16、from her I learned that despite our differences in size, shape and color, we humans are 99.9 percent the same. It is in our 31 to see differences: skin, hair and eye color, height, language. But also in our nature, way down in the DNA that 32 us human, we are almost the same. I believe there is more
17、 that unites us than 33 us. My mother came to the US from India. She is dark enough that she got her service 34 in a diner in 1960s Dallas. My father is a white boy from Indiana whose 35 came from Germany in the mid-1800s. It seems silly to admit now, but I never 36 that my parents were different co
18、lors. One day, I watched my parents walk down the street of our church together. They were 37 in the service that day, and as they walked, I saw their hands 38 together in unison(一致地). I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was. I knew them as my parents 39 I re
19、alized their skin color. Im sorry to say that now when I see a mixed-race 40 walking down the street, I see the mixed race first and the couple second. When my parents married in 1966, there were 41 places in this country that had laws 42 mixed marriage. 43 , my white grandfather, whose father had b
20、een a typical racist, was not against their marriage. Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others 44 . Some right-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all 45 . But deep down inside us, down in our DNA, we are 99.9 percent the

But the words, Carl Walter spoke that da
24、y, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?”“I try to.”“Well, dont.” he excla
25、imed. “When you grow up, time wont come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life.” When I was teaching at Columbia, I want
26、ed to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had
27、five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were
28、idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano-playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.There is an important trick in this time-using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but
29、 five minutes for writing, you cant afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to le
30、t go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge in without delay.46. What is th
31、e best title of this passage?A. Concentrate on Your Work. B. Good AdviceC. How I Became a Writer.D. A Little at a Time.47. Which of the following statements is true?A. The writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches.B. The writer didnt take the teachers words t
32、o heart at first.C. Carl Walter has had a great influence on the writers life since he became a student.D. Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.48. We can infer that the writer _.A. can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so hes devoted to work
33、 instantlyB. is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavyC. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novels D. has new books published each year however busy his teaching isBBooks are not Nadia Konyks thing. Her mother, hoping to attract
34、her, brings them home from the library, but Nadia rarely shows an interest. Instead, like so many other teenagers, Nadia, 15, is addicted to the Internet. She regularly spends at least six hours a day in front of the computer.Nadia checks her e-mail and reads careful through , a social networking si
35、te, reading messages or posting updates on her mood. She searches from music videos on and logs onto , a role-playing site where members exchange identities as cartoon characters. But she spends most of her time on or , reading and commenting on stories written by other users and based on books, tel
36、evision shows or movies.Her mother, Deborah Konyk, would prefer that Nadia read books for a change. But at this point, Ms. Konyk said, “Im just pleased that she reads something anyway.”Children like Nadia lie at the heart of a passionate（狂热的）debate about just what it means to read in the digital age
37、. As teenagers scores on standardized reading tests have declined, some argue that the hours spent surfing the Internet is the enemy of reading reducing literacy, destroying attention spans and a valuable common culture that exists only through the reading of books.But others say the Internet has cr
38、eated a new kind of reading, one that schools and society should not discount. The Web inspires a teenager like Nadia, who might otherwise spend most of his leisure time watching television, to read and write.Even talented book readers like Zachary Sims, 18, of Old Greenwich, Conn., carve the abilit
39、y to quickly find different points of view on a subject and talk with others online. Some children with dyslexia（诵读困难）or other learning difficulties, like Hunter Gaudet, 16, of Somers, Conn., have found it far more comfortable to search and read online.49. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean
40、s _. A. Nadia prefers not to be a writerB. Nadia doesnt like to buy books C. Nadia treats reading books as a piece of cake D. Nadia shows no interest in reading books50. The example given in the last paragraph are used to prove _. A. reading online is the enemy of reading books B. reading online may
41、 cause difficulty in learning C. it is convenient and comfortable to read online D. there is no pleasure to enjoy reading online51. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Are you tired of reading books in the information society? B. Do you like reading books?C. What does reading m
42、ean in the digital age? D. Are you reading online?CMy room faces the sun in the morning and on clear summer mornings it wakes me bright and fresh, no matter what time I stayed up till; Ill get up and make breakfast. This morning I wake up suddenly, like the alarm clock in my head has given me a litt
43、le electric shock; it isnt sunny outside. I pull back the curtains and the sky is dark grey. Hearing my brother is getting up, I go downstairs to make him a cup of tea. Hes down in the kitchen about five minutes later, wearing his work clothes, eyes mostly closed against the morning. “Morning.” I sa
44、y. “Uh huh.” I leave him to work out what he is going to eat and go back to my room, and get back beneath the quilt. This morning I want to think a while. Today is Dads birthday; Mom wont mention it. My brother might, just to cause a row, so Ill keep him sweet when he comes in from work. Every year
45、on my dads birthday I draw a picture of him; each year he looks a bit different. Im an artist. Its not that I draw a straighter line or a truer circle, as they try to teach us to do at school. I just get the message across more clearly than other people. More truthfully. I know it. I read a lot of b
46、ooks too, mainly about artists, and I try to paint like them. When my dad comes back Ill be able to say “this is you when I was twelve and I was in love with Monet” or “this is you on your thirty-eighth birthday, when I was fourteen, and youd been gone five years, and I wanted to paint like Dante Ga
47、briel Rossetti.” And hell look at each painting and know that I love him and never forget him. On Saturday mornings hed take me to town and Id drag him around the art shops. On my sixth birthday he bought me a box of 99 crayons. On my eighth birthday he bought me an easel (画架), a real one, not a kid
48、dies. On my ninth birthday he bought me oils. Some mornings Id wake up and thered be a book on my pillow about Picasso, or Chagall.“Draw me,” hed say. “Aw, Dad, I cant.”I know I should go to school; Im not one of those kids who are scared to go. But, its my dads birthday and I think I must spend it
49、with him. So I spend some time thinking about his hair, which I think is probably no more grey than it was last year; I know hair doesnt age at the same speed every year, but I make his hair longer this year. And in my minds eye I give him an extra few pounds too. But I keep the smile fixed in my he
50、ad, like it is when hes happy. Its head and shoulders, so Ill put him in a T-shirt that shows his neck and throat and how strong he is and how brightly his eyes shine and how his eyebrows are dead level straight and still black. I try to think of how much I want to show and how much I want to tell.
51、Then I pick up a charcoal stick and do it. I pick up a chalk to add a suggestion of colour to his eyes, then another chalk for his mouth. And there he is. Dad. There you are. 52.

They know that if caught cheating in an exam, the punishment will not be serious. This leads to frequent cheating in exams.At the University of
55、 Nevada, after students photographed test questions with their cell-phone cameras, transmitted them to classmates outside the exam room and got the answers back in text messages, the university put in place a new monitoring system.With their electronic tools, students these days find it easier to ch
56、eat. So college officials find themselves in a new game of cat and mouse, trying to gain an advantage over would-be cheats this exam season with a range of strategiescutting off Internet access from laptops, or demanding the surrender of cellphones before tests.Mr. Dapremont said technology had made
57、 cheating easier, but added that plagiarism in writing papers was probably a bigger problem because students can easily lift other peoples writings off the Internet.Still, some students said they thought cheating these days was more a product of an attitude, not the tool at hand. Pressure to succeed
58、 sometimes clouds everything and makes people do things that they shouldnt do. Students today feel more pressure to do well in order to graduate from school and secure a job.Whatever the reasons for cheating, college officials say the battle against it is wearing them out. First, people who cheat in
59、 exams will lose interest in studying. Second, they believe studying isnt meaningful. Even though they dont do anything, they can still pass. Third, people who cheat in exams will influence others. Plenty of hard working people will see that their results are lower than people who cheat in exams. Th
60、us, we must prevent cheating in exams. We reduce the opportunities for cheating in exams.The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character. For that reason, there are numerous watchdog committees at all level of society. Although signs of dishon
61、esty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could that be because we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty?Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisin
62、gly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheatinga person may feel “ they dont trust me anyway”, and be tempted to “ beat the system”. Distrust can be contagious. But, so can trust.Title : Cheating in exams in collegeFacts Cheating in exams is common in college.Students dont take
