    Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software program that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web. Britain played an important part in developing the first generation of computers.

    It has been more than twenty years since pioneering British computer programmer, Sir Tim Berners Lee, created the World Wide Web. But could he have ever imagined how much the web would change our lives? And would he approve of how some British students are taking advantage of his invention?

    Universities and exam boards around the UK are becoming increasingly concerned with the rising number of cases of plagiarism, many of which are facilitated (助长) by the Internet access.

    In the UK most school and university students complete coursework throughout the academic year which contributes toward their final mark. In many cases coursework makes up the main part of the qualification. Since coursework is completed in the students’ own time it cannot be monitored by teachers in the same way as an exam.

    Derec Stockley, director of examinations in the UK, explains, “Plagiarism affects coursework more than anything else, and in the cases that come to our attention, more and more are linked to the Internet.”

    At a university level recent reports suggest that plagiarism has evolved from separate cases of individual cheating to systematic and even commercial operation. Students can now pay for bespoke essays to be written for them by experts.

    It is estimated that the market in online plagiarism is now worth 200 million pounds a year. Every month more and more websites offering to write student’s essays for them appear on the Internet.

    Barclay Littlewood, owner of Degree Essays UK employs 3,500 specialist writers and charges between 120 pounds and 4,000 pounds per essay. However, Mr. Littlewood refutes the accusation that he is helping students to cheat.

    1.What dose the underlined word “plagiarism” in Paragraph 2 mean in the passage?

    A．problems of the Internet

    B．cheating

    C．learning pressure

    D．coursework

    2.Which of the following statements is mentioned by the author?

    A．There will be no problem if online plagiarism is a systematic and commercial operation.

    B．With the help of online plagiarism, students can write more creative coursework.

    C．The Internet seems to have contributed much to the problem of online plagiarism.

    D．Teachers should lay more emphasis on exams than coursework.

    3.It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to _____.

    A．blame Sir Tim Berners Lee for having created the World Wide Web

    B．have studied the problem of online plagiarism for nearly 20 years

    C．be in favour of Littlewood’s defence against the accusation of him

    D．worry about the quality of students’ coursework influenced by the World Wide Web

    4.The paragraph following the passage will most probably be about_____.

    A．Mr. Littlewood’s defence against those who accused him of his website

    The wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29 has focused the world’s camera lenses（镜头）on the UK.

    In Britain, there is a constant debate about the relevance of the royal family to modern British society. However, Windsor (the fam­ily name of the British Royal Family) and Middleton have been seen to represent a more modern, forward-looking nation.

    Nigel Baker, the British ambassador to Bolivia, believes that the royal wedding is “about modern Britain”. “The estimated 2 billion spectators across the world will see that Britain is one of the most culturally and ethnically diverse nations in the world, home to 270 nationalities speaking 300 different languages, founded on tolerance and respect for difference,” wrote Baker on his blog.

    According to Baker, the wedding could help viewers to see “why Britain is one of the most dynamic and creative countries in the world”: The television on which most people watched the event was invented by John Logie Baird, a Briton, and the World Wide Web that broadcast the event to millions more was invented by another Briton, Tim Berners-Lee.

    The guests who attended the wedding ceremony gave more than a few clues as to the nature of modern Britain. David and Victoria Beckham represent Britain’s obsession（着迷）with football and celebrity.

    Leaders from different religious backgrounds supported Baker’s com­ments on the multicultural nature of modern British society.

    Before the wedding, David Elliott, arts director of the British Council China, agreed that the wedding would be a showcase for modern Britain: “I think, and hope, that it (modern British influence) would be values like openness, multiculturalism, creativity, sense of humor and the traditional British sense of fair play,” he said.

    Furthermore, events such as the Olympics in London in 2012 may also increase people’s sense of Britishness.

    According to a poll published in Daily Telegraph, more than a third of people in the UK admitted they felt “very British” when watching the Olympics.

    1. What is the main point of the article?

    A. To introduce Prince William’s wedding arrangements in detail.

    B. To comment on the significance of the royal wedding.

    C. To question the relevance of the royal family in modern British society.

    D. To explain why the royal wedding is linked with the 2012 Olympics.

    2. What can be concluded from the article?

    A. Some say that the royal wedding is a reflection on modern Britain.

    B. Some think the royal wedding only shows Britain’s multiculturalism and sense of fair play.

    C. About 2 billion people across the world will see the wedding ceremony online.

    D. Britons are obsessed with football due to the influence of David Beckham.

    3.Why is the inventor of the World Wide Web mentioned?

    A. To inform readers about some well-known British inventors.

    B. To point to the importance of the World Wide Web for the wedding.

    C. In support of the idea that Britain is a nation of creative and original people.

    D. To encourage people to watch the wedding on the Internet.

    4. According to the article, both the 2012 Olympics and the royal wedding         .

    A. have increased the British sense of national identity

    B. have promoted traditional British values

    C. represent a more modern Britain

    D. have encouraged the interest of Britons in Football
