Cheats in College Admissions Exams and Counterplans
What happens to students who cheat on the two college admissions exams, the SAT and the ACT? Not as much as you might think. It isn’t particularly easy to cheat on these exams, but that doesn’t stop some students from trying. They do it in all the ways you might imagine: Copying off someone else’s paper, texting on a cellphone for answers, bringing in cheat sheets, having someone else take the test for them.
And some cheat in ways you might not consider. In Korea, a test prep tutor was investigated for allegedly (据宣称) buying scanned copies of sections of the SAT and then e-mailing them, with the answers, to Koreans in Connecticut who were going to take the test 12 hours later. Another SAT tutor in Korea was arrested for getting students taking the SAT to put test questions into a calculator they were allowed to use, and to hide small blades in their erasers that they used to cut out pages of the test. So, you ask, what happens to students suspected of cheating on the SAT or the ACT?
I asked both the College Board, which owns the SAT, and ACT Inc. , to explain what triggers suspicion of cheating and what happens to students found to be cheating. Ed Colby, spokesman for the ACT, said he couldn’t tell me exactly how many investigations are conducted each year for security reasons. Tom Ewing, a spokesman for the Educational Testing Service, which administers the SAT for the College Board, said there are a few thousand questionable test scores each year out of more than 2 million tests.
Both said a review of a student’s test could be triggered in one of several ways, including an audit that flags scores that have risen dramatically, or by a tip from outside parties, such as a guidance counselor, college admissions officer or NCAA official. Test supervisors also report any irregularities that occur on the day of the test. And both organizations have anonymous hotlines which anyone can call with information about breaches in test security.
In some cases, handwriting experts will be called in to check whether the handwriting on the written portion matches other work by the person who was supposed to take the test. Sometimes, the student is able to answer the questions and the case is closed. Other times, a student is given several options: He/she can retake the SAT or the ACT free of charge. For the ACT, if the new composite score is no more than 3 points lower than the questioned score, then the questioned scores are deemed valid, Colby said.
What’s the common point of the two cheatings in Korea?
选项
A、The paper damage.
B、The usage of scanners.
C、The usage of calculators.
D、The involvement of tutors.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。根据题干关键词the two cheatings In Korea定位到第二段。由该段第二句和第三句列举的两次作弊事例可推知,二者的相似点是教师参与作弊,[D]含义与之相符,故为正确答案。[A]和[C]内容只是第二个事例的现象,故排除;[B]只是第一个事例的现象,故排除。
