Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

0.  There Student thieves look out. Students can easily get many research papers off the Internet. A new Web site could help teachers catch copiers. 
  Some students research and write their term papers. Others, however, just copy them off the Internet and turn them in as their work. 
  Two graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley have written a program to catch the students who copy. It compares a student’s paper with every other term paper on the Web. 
 A hundred million Web pages on the Internet are searched. The top 20 search engines are used for the search. This service can be found at www. plagiarism, com. They also have a local data base of term papers. 
Teachers who sign up can send their students’ papers to the Web site. Within 24 hours they know if the student did the work. Every sentence that was a word-for-word match with another sentence either found on the Internet or within our database is coded. 
 A U.C. Berkeley professor told his class he would use the program. Still some students copied papers. All 300 papers went through the program. In 45 papers or 15 percent of students had cut and pasted large amounts of material from different World Wide Web sites. 
  Students that say they didn’t copy can defend themselves. They can show the instructors where they got their material. Students at universities try hard to get good grades. Some students welcome the Internet research watchdog because they say it is fair to all. They think copying is wrong.Instead of researching and writing their papers, some students ______.

5.  The state of California had to turn off the electricity to almost two million homes and businesses. The state ran out of power. 
  No one knew when the power would be turned off. People got trapped between floors in an elevator. Firefighters had to save them. These blackouts moved around the San Francisco area. Turning off traffic lights could cause accidents. 
  Rolling power outages shut down sections of communities across much of northern California, an hour and a half at a time. 
  People found out it is hard to work without power. Computers don’t work. Locked doors don’t open from a distance. 
  There has been a power crisis for the past two months. The amount of power isn’t enough to keep up with demand. Debt-ridden utilities couldn’t get suppliers to sell them electricity on credit.     Thursday’s crisis was blamed, in part, on a lack of water for hydropower in the Pacific Northwest. 
  Now California is trying to legislate a solution with a dozen emergency bills making their way through the state legislature. The state would buy power at long term low rates, and sell it at cost to utilities. 
  Not all Californians are sure that the power crisis is real. They think that power companies want to get more money. 
  Political leaders are sure they’ll have a legislative fix by February. Still the crisis won’t really be over until new power plants are working.In California the number of homes and businesses that have lost power are ______.

10.  Stanley Williams, "Tookie", has been in prison for 20 years. He is on Death Row for murder. He helped start the Crips gang in Los Angeles before he went to prison. Now he wants to help young people stay away from gangs and prison. He and Barbara Becnel have written many books for young people about gangs and prison. 
  A man from Switzerland has nominated Williams for a Nobel Peace prize. The Nobel Prize is given to people who have done the greatest good for people of the world. Williams does not believe he will win, but he is proud that he was nominated. Williams wants to make up for his role in gangs and murder by doing good. Williams’ most recent book is called "Life In Prison". Williams talks about the violence in prison and how prison life can make people crazy. 
  Prison officials say that Williams has been in trouble in prison. He spent 6. 5 years in solitary confinement （kept in his cell for most of every 24 hours） ,in the 1980’s. They say he is still involved in gangs. He denies it. His history, Becnel said, only makes Williams’ message stronger.

15.  It's easy to find nurses at Seton Medical Center. They wear badges that tell where the nurses are. Even if they are in the halls, the devices can track the nurses. Hill-Rom made the tracking badges that use infrared signals. The system is wireless and can tell when a nurse goes to a patient's room. 
  In the past, time was wasted trying to find the nurses. A wall unit lets staff talk to nurses and patients. Hill-Rom has sold more than 850 systems to hospitals. Many nurses do not like the locator badges. They fear the devices will hear their conversations and spy on them. At Eden Medical Center, nurses protested against the Hill- Rom devices. The badges made nurses feel like they were being watched to see if they did their job right. 
  Although the nurses hid the badges, the hospital found them. Nurses felt Big Brother was watching them. Eden Medical Center wants to give good patient care. The system can see how long it takes a nurse to come.
