3.More than half of teachers in a UK survey said they thought plagiarism from the Internet is a problem.
Some students who steal essays (論文)wholesale from the Web,they said,are so lazy they don't even bother to take the advertisements off the cut-and-pasted text.
Fifty-eight percent of the teachers interviewed in the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) questionnaire had come across plagiarism among their pupils.
Gill Bullen from Itchen College in Southampton said,"pieces handed in by two students were identical (同樣的) and significantly better than either of them could have done.","Not only that,the essays handed in didn't quite answer the title question I had set."
A teacher from Leeds said,"I had one piece of work so blatantly (明目張膽地)'cut and pasted'that it still contained adverts from the Web page."
Connie Robinson from Stockton Riverside College,Stockton,said,"With less able students it is easy to spot plagiarism as the writing style changes mid-assignment,but with more able students it is sometimes necessary for tutors to carry out Internet research to identify the source of the plagiarism."
Mary Bousted,general secretary of the ATL,said,"Teachers are struggling under a mountain of cut-and-pasting to spot (看出) whether work was the student's own or plagiarism."
She called for robust policies to combat plagiarism,and asked for help from exam boards and the government in providing resources and techniques to detect cheats.
But there was another side.
"I have found once students clearly understand what plagiarism is,its consequences and how to reference correctly so they can draw on published works,plagiarism becomes less of a problem,"said Diana Baker from Emmanuel College,Durham.
"I think the majority of students who engage in plagiarism do it more out of ignorance (出于無知) than the desire to cheat.They really want to succeed on their own merit."

分析 本題講述的是在英國的學生中普遍存在的論文剽竊現(xiàn)象.
解答 29.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)pieces handed in by two students were identical (同樣的) and significantly better than either of them could have done.","Not only that,the essays handed in didn't quite answer the title question I had set."可知學生們不自己認真寫論文.故選B.
30.A推理判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)3,4行"Teachers are struggling under a mountain of cut-and-pasting to spot whether work was the student's own or plagiarism."說明老師要花很多的時間來確定,哪些文章是學生自己寫的,哪些是從網(wǎng)上下載的,故識別起來不容易.故選A.
31.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段1,2行Some students who steal essays wholly from the Web,they said,are so lazy they don't even bother to take the ads off the cut-and-pasted text說明這些學生實在是太懶了,連網(wǎng)頁上的廣告也不去掉,故選A.
