问题        Some people argue that self-plagiarism (自我剽窃) is impossible by definition because plagiarism is theft and people cannot steal from their own work. But, this is not correct in law. And there are circumstances, such as insurance fraud, etc. , where it is possible to steal from oneself.
       Self-plagiarism, however, must be carefully distinguished from the recycling of one’ s work that to a greater or lesser extent everyone legally does. Self-plagiarism in academic publications is a grey area. However, many universities indirectly recognize the practice as deceptive(欺骗性的) . They publish rules preventing students from handing in basically the same essay for credits in different courses. There are also rules against someone handing in the same graduate thesis to different universities. Among established academics, self-plagiarism is a problem. It means basically the same article or book is handed in on more than one occasion for a salary raise or promotion.
       Like all plagiarism the essence of self-plagiarism is the author’s attempts to cheat the reader. This happens when no indication is given of the work that is being recycled or when an effort is made to disguise(掩饰) the original text. For example, an author just makes cosmetic changes to make the same article, chapter, or book look different. But actually it remains unchanged in its central argument. In this case, disguising a text occurs. Authors change such things as paragraph breaks, capitalization, or the substitution of technical terms in different languages. What he has done is to make readers believe they are reading something completely new. This practice is self-plagiarism.
Which of the following does NOT belong to self-plagiarism?

选项 A、No indication about the recycling of the work.
B、Disguising the original work by making small changes.
C、Indication about the small changes in the work.
D、Substitution of technical terms in two different languages.

答案C

解析 根据第三段第二句“This happens when no indication is given of the work that is being recycled or when an effort is made to disguise the original text.”可知,没有指出一部作品是被重复利用或试图伪装原文章的时候,就出现了自我剽窃现象,所以A、B两项正确,C项和文中所述刚好相反。根据第三段倒数第三句“…the substitution of technical terms in different languages.”可知,用不同语言替换专业术语也是自我剽窃,所以D项正确。故选C。
