单选题 Scores of university halls of residences and lecture theatres in the UK were judged 'at serious risk of major failure or breakdown' and 'unfit for purpose', a secret database obtained after a legal battle by the Guardian reveals. Some of the most popular, high-ranking institutions, such as the London School of Economics, had 41% of their lecture theatres and classrooms deemed unsuitable for current use, while Imperial College London had 12% of its non-residential buildings branded 'inoperable'. At City University, 41% of the student apartments were judged unfit for purpose. Universities argue they have spent hundreds of millions in freshening them up since the judgments were made two years ago and use some of the buildings for storage purposes only. The government agency that holds the information, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (Hefce), was forced to reveal it after an information tribunal (法庭) ruled in the Guardian's favour, agreeing that it was in the public's interest for the data to be made public. Hefce is thought to have spent up to £50,000 trying to conceal the data from the Guardian, which requested it two and a half years ago. The newspaper's lawyer, Aidan Eardley, said the case would make it harder for government agencies to withhold information in future. The database, which aims to help universities compare the condition of their estate with their competitors, shows more than 90% of higher education institutions had at least 10% of their buildings judged below the 'sound and operationally safe' category. One in 10 institutions had at least 10% of their estate judged inoperable and at serious risk of major breakdown. Universities employ surveyors to judge the condition of their estate according to four categories: as new; sound and operationally safe; operational but in need of major repair and inoperable; posing a serious risk of major failure and breakdown. The surveyors also record whether buildings are suitable for student living, teaching and learning under four more categories, from 'excellent' to 'unsuitable for current use'. Property consultants who advise universities said that, at its most extreme, buildings deemed inoperable could break fire regulations, have leaks and rot.

"I promise." "I swear to you it'll
never happen again." "I give you my word." "Honestly. Believe me." Sure, I
trust. Why not? I teach English composition at a private college. With a certain
excitement and intensity, I read my students' essays, hoping to find the person
behind the pen. As each semester progresses, plagiarism (剽窃) appears. Not only
is my intelligence insulted as one assumes I won't detect a polished piece of
prose from an otherwise-average writer, but I feel a sadness that a student has
resorted to buying a paper from a peer. Writers have styles like fingerprints
and after several assignments, I can match a student's work with his or her name
even if it's missing from the upper left-hand corner. Why is
learning less important than a higher grade-point average (GPA)? When we're
threatened or sick, we make conditional promises. "If you let me pass math I
will…" "Lord, if you get me over this before the big homecoming game I'll…" Once
the situation is behind us, so are the promises. Human nature? Perhaps, but we
do use that cliché(陈词滥调) to get us out of uncomfortable bargains. Divine
interference during distress is asked; gratitude is unpaid. After all, few
fulfill the contract, so why should anyone be the exception. Why not?
Six years ago, I took a student before the dean. He had turned in an essay
with the vocabulary and sentence structure of a PhD thesis. Up until that time,
both his out-of-class and in-class work were {{U}}borderline passing{{/U}}. I
questioned the person regarding his essay and he swore it was his own work. I
gave him the identical assignment and told him to write it in class, and that
I'd understand this copy would not have the time and attention an out-of-class
paper is given, but he had already a finished piece so he understood what was
asked. He sat one hour, then turned in part of a page of unskilled writing and
faulty logic. I confronted him with both essays. "I promise …, I'm not lying. I
swear to you that I wrote the essay. I'm just nervous today."
The head of the English department agreed with my findings, and the
meeting with the dean had the boy's parents present. After an hour of
discussion, touching on eight of the boy's previous essays and his grade-point
average, which indicated he was already on academic probation (留校查看), the dean
agreed that the student had plagiarized. His parents protested, "He's only. a
child" and we instructors are wiser and should be compassionate. College people
are not really children and most times would resent being labeled as such…
except in this uncomfortable circumstance.
单选题Until recently, the medical community believed that most hearing loss was caused by hear cells in the ear degrading as we age. But evidence is emerging that sound levels at sporting events, concerts, nightclubs and on personal devices can cause lasting damage to the connections between hear cells in the ear and the nerves that 27 sounds to the brain. Over 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults worldwide could be at risk of hearing loss as a result of 28 to unsafe levels of recreational noise, according to a recent World Health Organization report. To make matters worse, this kind of hearing loss doesn't show up on 29 tests. Researchers are calling it a hidden epidemic. 'We think this problem is 30 prevalent. but it's difficult to measure because the tools we have available today are not sensitive enough,' says Konstantina Stankovic, an auditory neuroseientist and surgeon at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, and Harvard Medical School, in Boston. Stankovic is now working with colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne to develop imaging 31 that would allow us to see this kind of neural damage in living brains. This could help with early diagnosis. Others are developing drugs that could help 32 the connections between the ear and the brain. To properly 33 our ears, loud noises should be banned in many public places just as smoking is now, says Stankovic. Some countries have laws in place to protect 34 in bars and clubs by monitoring noise levels. Last year, Minneapolis City Council made it 35 for bars and clubs to offer free ear buds to patrons. Stankovic thinks more will need to be done to change 36 accepted norms around recreational noise. 'I think it will require a public health effort similar to the efforts for limiting smoking, because of the peer pressure associated with loud music and noisy environments,' she says.? A. compulsory B. condense C. exposure D. incredibly E. independently F. protection G. restore H. safeguard I. socially J. standard K. techniques L. transmit M. treat N. uneasy O. workers
