Internet-related plagiarism has become such a problem because it is so easy to find and copy

information online. There are thousands of resources for students who wish only to copy or cheat.
Moreover, the Internet also makes it easier for educators to check for plagiarism. Often a simple
Internet search for a quote will be enough to impose copying. Some educators are more concerned
about unintended plagiarism. Because copying and pasting is so easy, it is becoming more and more
common for good-meaning students to mix up material source with their original ideas. While this
kind of plagiarism usually happens innocently, it is still an offense.

Part 2. Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) according to the text. Write
your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes. ( 1.0 pt)
Orientation and Navigation
To South Americans, robins are birds that fly north every spring. To North Americans, the robins simply vacation
in the south each winter. Furthermore, they fly to very specific places in South America and will often come back
to the same trees in North American yards the following spring. The question is not why they would leave the cold
of winter so much as how they find their way around. The question perplexed people for years, until, in the 1950s,
a German scientist named Gustavo Kramer provided some answers and. in the process, raised new questions.
Kramer initiated important new kinds of research regarding how animals orient and navigate. Orientation is simply
facing in the right direction; navigation involves finding ones way from point A to point B.
Early in his research, Kramer found that caged migratory birds became very restless at about the time they would
normally have begun migration in the wild. Furthermore, he noticed that as they fluttered around in the cage, they
often launched themselves in the direction of their normal migratory route. He then set up experiments with caged
starlings and found that their orientation was, in fact, in the proper migratory direction except when the sky was
overcast, at which times there was no clear direction to their restless movements. Kramer surmised, therefore, that
they were orienting according to the position of the Sun. To test this idea, he blocked their view of the Sun and
used mirrors to change its apparent position. He found that under these circumstances, the birds oriented with
respect to the new "Sun." They seemed to be using the Sun as a compass to determine direction. At the time, this
idea seemed preposterous. How could a bird navigate by the Sun when some of us lose our way with road maps?
Obviously, more testing was in order.
So, in another set of experiments, Kramer put identical food boxes around the cage, with food in only one of the
boxes. The boxes were stationary, and the one containing food was always at the same point of the compass.
However, its position with respect to the surroundings could be changed by revolving either the inner cage
containing the birds or the outer walls, which served as the background. As long as the birds could see the Sun, no
matter how their surroundings were altered, they went directly to the correct food box. Whether the box appeared
Page 5

in front of the right wall or the left wall, they showed no signs of confusion. On overcast days, however, the birds
were disoriented and had trouble locating their food box.
In experimenting with artificial suns, Kramer made another interesting discovery. If the artificial Sun remained
stationary, the birds would shift their direction with respect to it at a rate of about 15 degrees per hour, the Sun's
rate of movement across the sky. Apparently, the birds were assuming that the "Sun" they saw was moving at that
rate. When the real Sun was visible, however, the birds maintained a constant direction as it moved across the sky.
In other words, they were able to compensate for the Sun's movement. This meant that some sort of biological
clock was operating-and a very precise clock at that.
What about birds that migrate at night? Perhaps they navigate by the night sky. To test the idea, caged nightmigrating birds were placed on the floor of a planetarium during their migratory period. A planetarium is
essentially a theater with a domelike ceiling onto which a night sky can be projected for any night of the year.
When the planetarium sky matched the sky outside, the birds fluttered in the direction of their normal migration.
But when the dome was rotated, the birds changed their direction to match the artificial sky. The results clearly
indicated that the birds were orienting according to the stars.
There is accumulating evidence indicating that birds navigate by using a wide variety of environmental cues. Other
areas under investigation include magnetism, landmarks, coastlines, sonar, and even smells. The studies are
complicated by the fact that the data are sometimes contradictory and the mechanisms apparently change from
time to time. Furthermore, one sensory ability may back up another.
1. Which of the following can be inferred about bird migration from paragraph 1?
A. Birds will take the most direct migratory route to their new habitat.

7. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 4 about Kramer’s reason for filling one food box and
leaving the rest empty?
A. He believed the birds would eat food from only one box.

B. He wanted to see whether the Sun alone controlled the birds' ability to navigate toward the box with food.
C. He thought that if all the boxes contained food, this would distract the birds from following their migratory
route.
D. He needed to test whether the birds preferred having the food at any particular point of the compass.
8. According to paragraph 5, how did the birds fly when the real Sun was visible?
A. They kept the direction of their flight constant.
B. They changed the direction of their flight at a rate of 15 degrees per hour.
C. They kept flying toward the Sun.
D. They flew in the same direction as the birds that were seeing the artificial Sun.
9. The experiment described in paragraph 5 caused Kramer to conclude that birds possess a biological clock
because _____.
A. when birds navigate they are able to compensate for the changing position of the Sun in the sky
B. birds innate bearings keep them oriented in a direction that is within 15 degrees of the Suns direction
C. birds' migration is triggered by natural environmental cues, such as the position of the Sun
D. birds shift their direction at a rate of 15 degrees per hour whether the Sun is visible or not
10. According to paragraph 6, how did the birds navigate in the planetarium's nighttime environment?
A. By waiting for the dome to stop rotating
B. By their position on the planetarium floor
C. By orienting themselves to the stars in the artificial night sky
D. By navigating randomly until they found the correct orientation

A change in body reaction could be dangerous.
Drastic measures may not achieve the expected results.
You should reassess your lifestyle to see if it is causing a bad habit.
People need to be aware of the dangers of something that seems safe.
A high-profile health problem boosts manufacturers' turnover.

A. There are now five times as many cases of food poisoning as there were 20 years ago. It's partly down to the
fact that we eat out more often. Consider that one in men and one in three five women admit that they don't
wash their hands after going to the toilet or before preparing food; it's enough to put you off popping out for a
quick bite on a Friday night. And before you reach for one of those mints sitting on the counter by the till,
think how many non-hand-washers have dipped their fingers into that bowl. But the problem isn't restricted to
grubby eateries. More than half of food poisoning infections are acted in the home. This may be because
people are eating more pre-prepared food and shopping less often, so is stored for longer. But most food
poisoning is preventable if you know what you're doing.
B. Next time you have a headache, don't automatically reach for painkillers. Using them too often could be more
dangerous than you think. For a vulnerable minority, the route to addiction can be alarmingly fast. It's thought
that overusing painkillers leads to changes in the way the handles pain signals, so it becomes oversensitive to
stimuli that wouldn't normally cause pain. As the pain threshold lowers, people seek out stronger medication
and increase the dosage and soon they are hooked. Somewhere along the line we have become blasé about the
dangers of these medicines which are available in petrol stations, news agents and supermarkets. People must
not assume that over the counter drugs are safe because clearly this is not the case.
C. The basic premise of detox is that we need to clear the toxic waste from our bodies every so often in order to

stay healthy. It sounds a reasonable idea, but nutrition experts are quick to point out that there's no evidence to
support it. Detoxing is a concept that underestimates the abilities of our liver and kidneys. Any toxins that do
get absorbed are very efficiently dealt with and secreted by our bodies. The concept of detox diets is irrational
and unscientific. Those promoting detox diets often claim that in order to detoxify, we should avoid foods
such as wheat and dairy products. The reality is that these foods provide us with important nutrients, and it is
unnecessary potentially harmful to exclude them from the diet.
D. There is a lot of publicity about the dangers of having 'high cholesterol' at the moment - mainly coming from
companies that make special foods that claim to lower it for you. It is a widespread problem though: according
to the British Heart Foundation around two thirds of British people have a blood cholesterol level above the
suggested healthy target figure. And as there are no symptoms until it causes disease, many people with high
cholesterol may not be aware that they have it. However we need some cholesterol because the body wouldn't
Page 8


function without it! It is a key part of cell membranes and it is also found in bile, which is important for
digestion and absorption of fat.
E. Just like a real-time personal trainer (PT), an online coach discusses personal goals, tailors exercise schedules
and offers advice to clients of all abilities. Instead of face-to- face guidance, however, the virtual trainer gives
feedback via emails and texts - perfect for the self-conscious exerciser! While critics say that it is impossible
to
effectively
train clients without meeting them, online coaches offer a valuable compromise when it comes to training.
First they are a cost-effective alternative. Second, they represent a more flexible option, especially if your
work takes up much of your time or makes it difficult for you to commit to regular sessions. And just because
your coach is in cyberspace, it doesn't mean he won't be keeping tabs on you. The mere thought of the next
email should have you racing to put on your sports kit.
F. Most of us are unclear as to where social drinking stops and alcohol dependency starts. A heavy-drinking
student is fairly normal, but a 40-year-old party animal? A sozzled 60-year-old? At what point do the
questions demand a serious answer? Recommendations from the government are that men should consume no
more

than
three
to
four
units of alcohol a day and women only two to three units. Of course, committed social drinkers of all ages
often ignore units, taking comfort from the fact that they are not reaching for the bottle before lunchtime, and
their friends are drinking as much as they are so it must be alright. But you can even test yourself online by
looking
at Alcohol Concern's website to determine if alarm bells should be ringing. Most people can reduce their
alcohol consumption without professional help but it's not just about cutting down, it's about editing your life
to remove the reasons you are drinking too much.
