Cheating is nothing new．But today, educators and administrators are finding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent and are less likely to be punished than in the past ．Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike．
Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows ．Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today's youth．Others have attributed increased cheating to the fact that today's youth are far more pragmatic（实用主义的） than their more idealistic predecessors（前辈）.While in the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with visions about changing the world, today's students feel great pressure to conform（随大流） and succeed．In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young
men and women said that cheating had become easy．Some suggested they did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect; others looked at it as a game．Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty．"People are competitive．" said a second-year college student named Anna, from Chicago．There's an underlying fear ．If you don't do well, your life is going to be ruined ．The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself．To achieve．To succeed．It's almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals．
Edward Wynne, editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools．He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action．Dwight Huber, chairman of the English department at Amarillo sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated．" I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated," Mr．Huber said．He feels that as long as teachers give short-answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can combine information, students will try to beat the system．" The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is reasonable and there is something wrong with the individual who's doing it," he said , "That's too easy an answer．We've got to start looking at the system．"
49．Educators are finding that students who cheat ______．
A．are more likely to be punished than before
B．have poorer academic records than before
C．can be academically weak or strong
D．use the information in later years
50．According to the passage, youth cheat because of______．
A．the eagerness to succeed
B．the easiness to cheat
C．the fear of competition
D．the impossibility to be punished
51．What does the underlined part '"the system" refer to?
A．The education system．
B．The school system．
C．The system by which schools punish cheating．
D．The system by which students are evaluated．
52．Which of the followings would Dwight Huber probably agree with?
A．The educational system is sound and students must follow every rule,
B．parents alone must take responsibility for the rise in student cheating．
C．There should be some changes in the evaluation system．
D．Students who cheat should be expelled from school．
【江苏省常州市2013冲刺模拟】B
I must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, 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, don't.” he exclaimed. “When you grow up, time won't come in long stretch
es. 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 wanted 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 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 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 five minutes for writing, you can't 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 let 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.
60. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Concentrate on Your Work. B. Good Advice

A. The writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches.
B. The writer didn't take the teacher's words to heart at first.
C. Carl Walter has had a great influence on the writer’s life since he became a student.
D. Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.
62. The underlined part “counted on” can be replaced by __________.
A. expected B. concentrated C. valued D. enriched
63. We can infer that the writer ____________.
A. can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so he’s devoted to work instantly.
B. is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavy
C. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novels.
D. has new books published each year however busy his teaching is.
