Scotland has long been characterized as a land of romance.It contains ruins of many ancient castles and abbeys，and there is an attractive beauty in its mountains，long deep valleys，and ribbon lakes.Each year those things attract a great number of tourists.
Numerous islands line the coast.In the north are two large groups，the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands.Close to the west coast are the Inner and Outer Hebrides groups，and the islands of Arran and Bute.
The land may be divided into three regions: the Highlands in the north，the Central Lowlands and the Southern Uplands.
The Highlands are wild and picturesque(如画的)．A long valley called Glenmore crosses the Highlands from southwest to northeast.
In the south of the Highlands are the Grampian Mountains，highest in the British Isles.Ben Nevis，the highest peak，rises to 1,243 meters.Ben Lomond rises from the shore of Loch Lomond，Scotland's largest freshwater lake.
The Central Lowlands run from southwest to northeast and the greatest length is nearly 145 kilometers.The soil here is fertile，and there are four coalfields underlying the area.In the east is Edinburgh，Scotland's historic capital city，and in the west is Glasgow.Almost 90 percent of Scotland's population live in the Lowlands.

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 (预定的) 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 (反驳)the accusation that he is helping students to cheat.
31．What dose the underlined word “plagiarism” in Paragraph 2 mean in the passage?
A．cheating B．problems of the Internet
C．learning pressure D．coursework
解析：由文章的最后一句“However, Mr.Littlewood refutes the accusation that he is helping students to cheat”可知答案。
答案：A
32．Which of the following statements is mentioned by the author?
A．With the help of online plagiarism, students can write more creative coursework.
B．There will be no problem if online plagiarism is a systematic and commercial operation.
C．The Internet seems to have contributed much to the problem of online plagiarism.
D．Teachers should lay more emphasis on exams than coursework.
解析：由“Plagiarism affects coursework more than anything else, and in the cases that come to our attention, more and more are linked to the Internet”和“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”可知答案。
答案：C
33．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．worry about the quality of students' coursework influenced by the World Wide Web
C．be in favor of Littlewood's defense against the accusation of him
D．have studied the problem of online plagiarism for nearly 20 years
解析：由文章的第一段的最后两句：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? 可推知答案。
答案：B
34．Who should be blamed for online plagiarism?

C．Derec Stockley D．Nobody
解析：由文章的最后一段?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”可知答案。

Have you ever been to an Irish wedding? I have just returned from one.It is a quarter to five in the morning: the sun has already climbed above the horizon; the birds are busy celebrating the new day and have eagerly been in search of food.But some of the guests have not yet left.They are still prolonging the night: dancing, singing, gossiping, putting off the unfortunate necessity of undertaking a day's work in the fields after a sleepless night.
Throughout most of her life, Bridget Mary, the bride, has been living in the small whitewashed thatched cottage I have just left.Twelve children have been brought up there but only two are still living at home.The eldest son, heir (继承人) to the small farm, is helping his father with the farm work (they employ no farm laborers); the youngest daughter is still at school.Two years ago, Bridget Mary went to England to take up domestic work in a hospital and it was while she was living there that she met her future husband, Terry.He himself is an Irishman who used to live in Dublin and now has a well paid job in a light engineering works in England.They got engaged and started saving.Now they are thinking of buying a small house near Terry's factory.
The wedding ceremony was performed in the church in the nearest town at half past eight yesterday morning.Another couple were being married at the same time.Nobody worried about the cost of the celebrations: four luxurious cars brought the bride, bridegroom, family and friends home, and forty people were crowded into the tiled kitchen and the tiny living room, hung with framed school certificates and religious pictures.A big meal was given; the wedding cake was cut and toasts were drunk in whisky or wine.And while the remains of the feast were being cleared away and the rooms swept, the four cars set out again, taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the countryside.

阅读下面的短文， 然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Once，when I was out to have lunch at a restaurant with classmates，I got up to use the restroom，and as I returned to the table，I had this feeling that people were eyeing me.I shrugged it off，thinking they were probably staring at my fat belly.
About 10 minutes later，two women walked over to my table－in front of everyone and dropped a napkin(纸巾) in my lap.They smiled as they quickly walked away.Of course，everyone at the table stared at me as I unfolded the napkin and read what it said：“We just wanted you to know that you have toilet paper hanging off your pants.”
I turned around and noticed that I had a 4footlong strand of toilet paper(clean) around my fat waist of my pants.
Of course，I was glad to be told the toilet paper was there.But I was so humiliated(受辱的)! I wished I'd just discovered it myself as I stood up and grabbed my coat.There's something sort of delightful about believing that people don't notice your flaws，isn't there?
