问题     Academic dishonesty is nothing new. As long as there have been homework assignments and tests, there have been cheaters. The way that cheating looks has changed over time, though, particularly now that technology has made it easier than ever. A study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics interviewed 23,000 high school students and asked them a variety of questions about academic ethics. Of the teens surveyed, 51 percent said that they had knowingly cheated at some point on an exam but that they did not feel uneasy about the behaviour. A Common Sense Media survey found that 35 percent of students had cheated via smartphone, though the parents surveyed in that particular study did not believe their kids had ever cheated. In many cases, students did not realize that strategies like looking up answers on a smartphone were actually cheating at all.
    In today’s classrooms, students who cheat are rarely caught. There are no formulas written on the insides of hands or students looking across the aisle, or whispering answers to their classmates. Today’s students use smartphones, tablets or even in-class computers to aid their cheating attempts and leave no trace of their crimes. Since cheating through technology is not listed specifically as being against the rules in many school policies, students do not view the actions unethical.
    The technology is being adopted so quickly that school districts cannot adequately keep up with cheating policies, or even awareness campaigns that alert students to the problem with using technology to find answers in a certain way. From a young age, students learn that answers exist conveniently at their fingertips through search engines and expert websites.
    Schools must develop anti-cheating policies that include technology and these policies must be updated consistently. Teachers must stay on guard when it comes to what their students are doing in classrooms and how technology could be playing a negative role in the learning process. Parents must also talk to their kids about the appropriate ways to find academic answers and alert them to unethical behaviours that may seem innocent in their own eyes.
Why do students rarely get caught cheating nowadays?
选项 A、They copy formulas on their palms.
B、They help each other to cover up their acts.
C、They keep changing their ways of cheating.
D、They make use of modern technology.
答案D
解析 根据题干关键词rarely get caught可以将答案定位到第二段第一句。题干问的是原因，答案需要继续往下文寻找。第二段第一句指出，在如今的教室中，作弊的学生很少被抓到。下文进一步指出，现在的学生已经不在手心写公式，或者看过道旁边同学的答案，也不会小声将答案告诉同学。今天的学生使用手机、电脑等智能设备来帮助他们作弊，丝毫不留下他们的“作案”痕迹。由此可知，学生们作弊很少被抓是因为他们利用了智能设备，也就是现代技术，故选项D正确。A项是以前的作弊手段，可以排除。选项B和C的内容都与原文不符，故排除。
