Last year, one group of students in Taiwan did just that. They took chances-and ended up in jail. More than 20 students paid a cram school owner to help them cheat on Taiwan’s entrance exam, according to police. The students received answers to test questions through cell phones and other electronic devices. Taiwan isn’t the only place in Asia to see major cheating scandals. In both India and South Korea, college entrance exams have been stolen and sold to students.
Academic cheating has risen dramatically over the last decade. Duke University conducted a survey of 50,000 university and 18,000 high school students in America. More than 70 percent of the students admitted cheating. Just 10 years earlier, only 56 percent said they had cheated. This trend extends far beyond the U. S., too. In Asia, where students face intense pressure to excel, the cheating problem is especially pronounced. In many Asian countries, a student’s performance is measured mostly by exam scores. And admission to a top school depends on acing standardized tests. This test-driven culture makes cheating an easy way for students to get ahead in a super-competitive academic system.
But the pressure to perform well on tests isn’t the only thing turning students into cheaters. For one, new technology makes cheating easier than ever. Students now have more sophisticated options than just "cheat sheets" hidden in pencil boxes. Today’s tech-smart students use text-messaging to discreetly send each other test answers. They post questions from standardized tests on internet bulletin boards. Students in Asia, for example, have posted questions from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).
Deeper issues than technology and testing, however, may be leading to the rise in academic dishonesty. Both students and educators say that society offers too many negative role models. Businesspeople make millions and scientists eam intemational acclaim by cheating and lying. The case of Korean scientist Hwang Woo Suk offers one powerful example. He faked the results of his stem cell research and became a national hero. From many sectors of society, the message to students is loud and clear: Cheating is an easy way to get ahead.
Victoria Lin, a high school teacher in Taichung, says educators must begin to stress integrity as well as achievement in academics. That’s what she tries to instill in her students. "I always tell my students, ’How much is your character worth? 100 points? 90 points?’" Jerry Chang, a student at Taiwan’s Oriental Institute of Technology, also has words of advice for classmates he sees cheating. "When you cheat on exams, you only cheat yourself," he says, "because you won’t know how much you’ve really learned."
The example mentioned in paragraph 1 means to ______.
选项
A、criticize the cram school for their poor education qualities
B、highlight the seriousness of cheating in Taiwan
C、show how prevalent the problem of cheating is
D、show sympathy for those who cheated
答案
C
解析
例证题;需要提醒考生注意的是,在考研阅读理解的命题过程中,很多题目都和文章的主旨相关。比如这个题目,作为文章手段的例证题,其实所论证的是全篇文章的中心。A选项偏离了中心,补习学校确实是参与作弊的单位,但是文章的主要目的不是为了批评补习学校的教学质量,而是集中论述作弊这种行为本身,A选项属于“擦边状态”,接触到了主旨,但没有点对,是需要排除的选项。B选项和C选项都直接提到了作弊这种行为本身,但比较阅读之后,我们发现,B和C最主要的区别在于B选项中in Taiwan这样一个限定成分。而从原文中我们可以看到,虽然例子本身出现在台湾,但是第一段的最后两句话已经明确告诉我们这种现象不是台湾独有的。所以作者要论述的是作弊现象本身,而不局限于台湾地区。所以B选项应该排除,C选项才是正确的答案。D选项属于主观观点的表述,在原文中找不到依据,是需要排除的干扰选项。
