Question

【题目】A student walks into his first class and realizes he forgot all about the midterm exam. He knows he needs to bring his grades up, and getting a zero will make it nearly impossible. He quickly jots down some notes and shoves them under his lap hoping it will help him pass. Cheating is a major concern in all academic environments. Students are creating new and more outrageous(令人吃惊的) ways of cheating every day; some claim that certain accounts of cheating can be justified, but overall it can always be prevented.

Cheating has been around forever, and millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned. Copying homework and cheat sheets are some of the most basic ways students in all education levels have cheated. Some students think nothing about writing a few answers on their hand, in a gum wrapper, or boldly using a study guide to cheat. Desperate students have even gone as far as to steal the test or scan in bottle wrappers and put answers into the nutrition label. The Internet has now become available in almost every location. Computers can be accessed at school, at home, and now even on cell phones. This opens a doorway for even more methods of cheating to be born.

There are countless opinions on whether or not cheating can be justified. The truth is this behavior will always be a matter of opinion with each scenario of cheating. Students often rationalize their cheating by claiming they forgot to look over the material or did not understand what the teacher or professor was saying. Some may counter these arguments by saying that the students could have set reminders or asked the teacher to explain the material before the day of the test. Some other reasons why students believe cheating is justified are their heavy workloads and trying to find time for school, sports, friends, and family. This may be true in certain instances, however, all students have these problems, and it is unfair to the students who refrain(忍耐，节制) from cheating when the student who is dishonest receives a better grade. The majority of students who think cheating is acceptable may believe the reason for this is that sometimes students are unaware they are cheating, there is not enough time given for assignments, or that the information is too much for the course.

It may be difficult to accomplish, but cheating can be prevented. Teachers and professors have tried many options to stop cheating. These options can range anywhere from simply spreading testtakers out in a room, to expelling(驱逐) a student, which will most likely hinder their plans of getting into another college. One simple way to fix the problem is to scold the student when caught. They may be so scared or embarrassed that they never do it again. This is a risky way to prevent cheating in some cases, however, because it can possibly damage selfesteem. Another simple way to avoid cheating is to create many different kinds of the same test. This prohibits(阻止) students from getting the answers off of a neighbor's test, but students still have the option of using other cheating tactics.

There may be a million ways to cheat and get away with it, but there are few times, if any, that it is justified. Cheating never has to be a necessity and it is never worth compromising morals and losing years worth of working towards a degree. This problem is spreading throughout America; with everyone's help, it can be stopped.

【解析】

试题分析：本文通过讲述人学生中存在各类的作弊现象，以及对于作弊的不同立场，做出了自己的分析，并希望拒绝作弊，人人做起。这样作弊的风气就会消失。

【1】A标题归纳题。根据第一自然段最后一句some claim that certain accounts of cheating can be justified, but overall it can always be prevented.有些声称一定量的作弊是合理的，但是过多需一直禁止。可以看出一开始就提出作弊和不作弊的两个不同观点，故选A。

【2】C段落大意题。根据第二段开头Cheating has been around forever, and millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned作弊一直存在，千万种作弊方法层出不穷。这是中心句，故选C。

【3】C细节理解题。根据第三自然段最后一句The majority of students who think cheating is acceptable may believe the reason for this is that sometimes students are unaware they are cheating, there is not enough time given for assignments.那些认为作弊可以接受的学生中大多数有理由相信，有时学生未察觉自己作弊，而是留给答题的时间不够。故选C

【4】A词义猜测题。由第五段第三句to expelling(驱逐) a student, which will most likely hinder their plans of getting into another college驱逐一个学生，就相当于阻碍他们进入另一所学校的计划。由句意得知驱逐学生后所产生的后果学生来说必定是负面的，对于其进入学府的计划自然是有所阻碍。故选A

【5】D细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第三句Cheating never has to be a necessity and it is never worth compromising morals and losing years worth of working towards a degree.作弊并不是必须不可，并且在学位面前让道德让步和丢失数年的努力是从来就不值得的。可知作者并不赞成作弊，由最后一段最后一句with everyone's help, it can be stopped.人人避免，它就会止住。 故选D
