"I promise.""! swear to you it’ll never happen again.""l give you my word""Honestly-Believe me." sure, I trust. Why not? I teach English composition at a private college. With a certain excitement and intensity, I read my students’ essays,hoping to find the person behind the pen. As each semester progresses, plagiarism appears. Not only is my intelligence insulted as one assumes I won’t detect a polished piece of prose from an otherwise-average writer,but I feel a sadness that a student has resorted to buying a paper from a peer. Writers have styles like fingerprints and after several assignments,! can match a student’s work with his or her name even if it’s missing from the upper left-hand corner.
Why is learning less important than a higher grade-point average(GPA)? When we’re threatened or sick,we make conditional promises. "If you let me pass math I will... .""Lord,if you get me over this before the big homecoming game I’II..."Once the situation is behind us so are the promises. Human nature? Perhaps, but we do use that click to get us out of uncomfortable bargains. Divine interference during distress is asked; gratitude is unpaid. After all. few fulfill the contract so why should anyone be the exception. Why not?
Six years ago, I took a student before the dean. He had turned in an essay with the vocabulary and sentence structure of PhD thesis up until that time,both his out-of-class and in-class work were borderline passing.
I questioned the person regarding his essay and he swore it I’d understand this copy would not have the time and attention an out-of-class paper is given, but he had already a finished piece so he understood what was asked. He sat one hour,then turned in part of a page of unskilled writing and faulty logic. I confronted him with both essays.
"I promise...!’II not lying. I swear to you that I wrote the essay. I’m just nervous today."
The head of the English department agreed with my finding,and the meeting with the dean had the boy’s parents present After an hour of discussion touching on eight of the boy’s previous essays and his grade-point average,which indicted he was already on academic probation(留校查看),the dean agreed that the student had plagiarized. His parents protested. "He’s only a child"and we instructors are wiser and should be compassionate. College people are not really children and most times would resent being labeled as such...Except in this uncomfortable circumstance. [br] Which of the following might serve as the title of this passage?
选项
A、Human Nuture
B、Conditional Promises
C、How to Detect Cheating
D、The Sadness of Plagiarism
答案
D
解析
主旨题,看几个选项知A、B、C项都只是文章中的细节不能表达文章的中心思想,并且文章中"plagiarism"贯穿全文。所以文章的题目是剽窃的悲哀,应该选D。
