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 salary raising 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 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.
In the second sentence of the first paragraph, "this" refers to______.
选项 A、all the activities about plagiarism
B、the activities of self-plagiarism
C、the argument for the impossibility of self-plagiarism
D、the argument for the possibility of self-plagiarism
答案C
解析 这里的this指代上文的内容。根据第一段第一句“Some people argue that self-plagiarism is impossible by definition because plagiarism is theft and people cannot steal from their own work．”可知，一些人认为自我剽窃在定义上是不可能的，因 为剽窃是偷盗行为，而人们不可能剽窃自己的工作。而接下来文章便提出“这种说法 在法律上是不正确的”，所以this指代的是上文中有关有些人认为自我剽窃不可能的 这种观点。故选C。
