Cheating is academic dishonesty on the part of students. It is on the rise and less likely to be punished than in the past. During a nationwide survey of 3, 600 American students, it was found that 60 percent admitted to cheating on tests and assignments. 900 college students in China were surveyed about their involvement in dishonest testing practices. The results indicated that 83 percent had cheated.
   No one really knows why cheating keeps rising. Possibly it’s due to a general decline of moral values among youth. Others have pointed to the fact that today’s youth have become more practical. In the 1960s, students were filled with visions about changing the world, but today’s students feel great pressure to succeed or excel. Some suggested they did it out of contempt for teachers they did not respect. Others looked at it as a game. They would not feel guilty unless they were caught. There’s a fear that if you don’t do well, your life is going to be ruined. The pressure to succeed is not only from parents and friends but from oneself.
   Some people blame the rise in cheating on the reluctance of schools to take action. Some mention the way students are evaluated. Teachers prefer to give short-answer tests instead of essay questions. They rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can put information together, which is why students will try to beat the system. We might wonder if honesty and truthfulness, the two most important values to students, still count.
   Q13: What’s the percentage of students in China who admitted to cheating?
   Q14: What’s one possible reason for the rise in cheating among young students?
   Q15: Why are teachers considered responsible for the rise in cheating?

选项 A、Because they ask students to write long essays.
B、Because they can never put information together.
C、Because they tend to give short-answer tests.
D、Because they are not honest or trust-worthy.

答案C

解析 “为什么作弊现象的增加与教师有关?”Teachers prefer to give short-answer tests instead of essay questions. They rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can put information together, which is why students will try to beat the system. 老师喜欢使用简答式的考卷,而不是让学生写论文。他们评分时根据的是学生能记住多少事实(死记硬背的能力),而不是根据学生能否把信息组合在一起(分析总结能力),所以学生就投机取巧。
