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 (保险欺诈), etc., when 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 (学术的)  publications is a gray area. However, many universities indirectly recognize the practice as deceptive. They publish rules preventing students from handing in basically the same essay for credit 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’ attempts to cheat the reader. This happens when no indication is given that the work is being recycled or when an effort is made to disguise 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 ease, 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.
选项 A、all the activities about plagiarism
B、the activities of self-plagiarism
C、the argument for the impossibility of self-plagiarism
D、the argument for the possibility of self-plagiarism
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。本题询问的是在第一段第二句话中this一词指代的是什么。根据文章第一段第一句和第二句的内容可知，this指的是前面所述的人们不可能偷窃自己的东西这一观点，从而可以推断出this指的是自我剽窃是不可能的。因此，选项C(自我剽窃是不可能的这一观点)符合题意，为正确答案。
