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.
According to the passage, ______is the essence of self-plagiarism.
选项 A、the writer’ s pursuit for money or promotion
B、the writer’ s laziness at his/her work
C、the writer’s deception on himself
D、the writer’ s deception on the reader
答案D
解析 根据第三段第一句“Like all plagiarism the essence of self-plagiarism is the author’s attempts to cheat the reader．”可知，自我剽窃的本质是作者试图欺骗读者。D项中的deception是cheat的同义替换。故选D。
