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 do we learn from the study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics?
选项 A、Over half of the students interviewed were unaware they were cheating.
B、Cheating was becoming a way of life for a majority of high school teens.
C、More than half of the interviewees felt no sense of guilt over cheating.
D、Cheating was getting more and more difficult for high school students.
答案C
解析 根据题干关键词Josephson Institute of Ethics可以将答案定位到第一段第四、第五句。第一段第四句指出，约瑟夫森伦理学研究所进行了一项研究，调查了2万多名高中生关于学术道德的各种问题。第五句指出，51％的受访者称他们曾在考试中故意作弊，但他们并没有因这种行为而感到不安。51％的人就相当于超过一半的受访者，他们承认作弊并且没有对此感到愧疚，对比四个选项只有C项正确。A项的内容与原文明显相悖，可以排除。B项属于过分夸大，原文说大多数高中生承认有过作弊行为，但这并不能说明作弊正成为大多数高中生的生活方式。原文第三句指出，技术让作弊变得比以往任何时候都更容易，故D项与原文相悖，可以排除。
