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.
What does the author think schools should do to tackle cheating?
选项 A、Bring policies against cheating up to date.
B、Reform their exam methods constantly.
C、Take advantage of the latest technologies.
D、Alert parents to their children’s behaviour.
答案A
解析 根据题干关键词schools和tackle cheating可以将答案定位到最后一段第一句。题干中的tackle意为“应对，解决”，tackle cheating与原文中的develop anti-cheating policies(制定反舞弊政策)属于同义替换。最后一段第一句指出，学校必须制定包含技术在内的反舞弊政策，并且这些政策必须不断更新。由此可知，选项A正确，其中Bring…up to date与原文中的be updated属于同义替换。其他三项均不是原文作者认为学校该做的事情。
