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 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. [br] 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 事实细节题。本题询问的是根据文章内容，什么是自我剽窃的实质。根据文章最后一段的第一句话“与所有剽窃行为一样，自我剽窃的实质是作者试图欺骗读者”可知选项D(作者对读者的欺骗)符合文意，为正确答案。选项A(作者对金钱或晋升的追求)是自我剽窃的一个目的，而不是自我剽窃的实质，可以排除。选项B(作者在工作时懒惰)与选项C(作者对自己的欺骗)均未在文中提及，故不正确。
