    1. It is not surprising that cheating is difficult to resist. Today the Internet offers many temptations – there are term papers for sale along with articles that can be copied for free with the click of a mouse. A survey finds that 30 percent of students say cheating during tests happens quite often ,and over 65 percent admit asking their friends for help even when a professor has told them to work alone. It is hard to believe that these young people will change their ways after graduation.

    SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1)
    【參考譯文】
    在1972年,100萬(wàn)美元可真是一大筆錢(qián)。但對(duì)于住在巴黎的經(jīng)營(yíng)有方的美國(guó)古董商羅伯特???颂囟裕鸵粋€(gè)精美的古希臘花瓶來(lái)說(shuō),他向紐約大都會(huì)博物館開(kāi)出的這個(gè)價(jià)錢(qián)并不算高。這只花瓶的歷史比耶穌誕生還要早500年,是由當(dāng)時(shí)一個(gè)公認(rèn)的美術(shù)大家繪制的。自從那宗古希臘花瓶收購(gòu)之后,古董的價(jià)格一路飆升。
    然而,日益興盛的古董買(mǎi)賣(mài),其問(wèn)題不在于價(jià)格離譜,而是遠(yuǎn)比價(jià)格更為重要的事情,那就是古董的來(lái)源。這些稀世珍寶來(lái)自何方?誰(shuí)是其合法擁有者?日益增多的證據(jù)表明,越來(lái)越多的文物正在其所在國(guó)被非法挖掘。例如,最近英國(guó)對(duì)總數(shù)達(dá)546件文物的五大收藏進(jìn)行了研究,確定其中82%來(lái)源可疑。從意大利到希臘到土耳其,許多國(guó)家長(zhǎng)期來(lái)一直在抱怨走私文物交易,卻多半無(wú)法加以阻止。
