Cheating is nothing new. But today, educators and administrators are fmding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent—and are less likely to be punished—than in the past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.
Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today’s youth. Others have attributed increased cheating to the fact that today’s youth are far more pragmatic than their more idealistic predecessors. While in the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with visions about changing the world, today’s students feel great pressure to conform and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggested they did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect. Others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty. "People are competitive," said a second year college student named Anna, from Chicago. "There’s an underlying fear. If you don’t do well, your life is going to be mined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself. To achieve. To succeed. It’s almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals.
Edward Wynne, editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action. Dwight Huber, chairman of the English Department at Amarillo sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated. "I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated." Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers give short answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can synthesize information, students will try to beat the system. "The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is legitimate and there is something wrong with the individual who’s doing it," he said. "That’s too easy an answer. We’ve got to start looking at the system." [br] The author probably feels that
选项
A、the educational system is sound, and students must follow every rule
B、parents alone must take responsibility for the rise in student cheating
C、the educational system in this country would benefit from a thorough evaluation
D、students who cheat should be expelled from school
答案
C
解析
观点态度题。文章第三段提到:教育制度存在的问题是导致作弊的一个原因。据此可推知,作者会赞同这种观点:这个国家(指美国)的教育制度如经历一次全面评估会大有裨益。故选项C为最佳答案。A项说教育制度是正确的,文章没有这样说,只是说有人把作弊上升原因归咎于教育制度,可见教育制度并不一定是正确的;B项况只有父母才负责任,也站不住脚,因为即使是第一种观点,也认为压力不仅来自父母,还来自自己,所以B也不对;在D项文章根本没有提到如何处罚作弊学生,而是讨论作弊增加的原因,所以也该排除。
