题目内容
While Jennifer was at hose taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor(监控器)a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.
Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked — remotely — to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?
In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid— that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers.
Although online classes have existed for more than a decade ,the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses." Private colleges,public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field . spending millions of dollars to attract potential students,while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.
Aside from the web camers, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone number they once used.

41. 细节理解题。根据题干关键词watched和exam定位信息于文章开头处:文章首段描述了Jennifer在考试中被远程监控的一个事例。读下文寻找原因。根据文章第三段首句:In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education.可以判断D选项为正确答案。dishonest分别与原文中的cheating和honesty形成反义词的复现。
42. A。语义理解题。根据本段首两句In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology…确认该短语指的是一种技术,四个选项中只有A出现了“技术”这个词。再看下文,选项A中advanced technology为第五段中的high-tech methods的同义解释,构成语义上的复现。判断A为正确答案。
43. A。根据题干关键词exams and diplomas和valid定位于原文第三段末句:Only with solid measures against cheating…their exams and diplomas are valid,推断:只有拥有了过硬的防作弊措施,这些网校大学才能够才能够表明他们的考试与学历证明是有效的:学生们没有通过网络寻找正确答案。B选项“他们(各网络大学)能够打败学术上的作弊(考试作弊)”。这里,defeat academic cheating为原文中against cheating同义表达,为复现关系。
44.A。根据题干关键词Some programs和possible cheaters定位于原文末段首句。Other programs…and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test question are answered at the same speed as easy ones,可知:另外有一些程序可以通过分析难题和易答题是否在同等时间内得到解答,辨别出可能的作弊者。判断,A选项“检查问题的答题速度”checking the question answering speed为原文analyzing…are answered at the…speed的同义转述,故为正确答案。
45.主旨大意题。浏览全文,Cheating为高频词,Online Education亦在文中多次出现。结合图式导读及文章的话题,可以得出,全文由学员被远程监控的行为引出打击网络考试的作弊行为的主题。故,C“打击网络教育作弊行为”为正确答案。
