Question

It’s five minutes before the exam and you are in a state of panic. You just have to pass it, but how? You didn’t even open the book the night before and you hear a voice in your head saying “Cheat, cheat ...” So what are you going to do, ignore it and fail or go for it? It’s a tough decision many students must make.

Most young people believe that cheating is wrong. However, they have cheated at least once in their high school years. So, why do they do it? Are they too lazy to study? Perhaps, it’s not as simple as that. According to some experts, one main reason why students cheat is that they see their friends get away with it. It’s an easy way out. They avoid embarrassment and their parents’ anger for not doing well in an exam. Another reason is that students think it’s OK to cheat if the subject isn’t important for their future career. What’s more, most students have to put up with the pressure of getting into university. They need to get good marks to carry on with their studies. This means that there will always be students who will do anything for a better mark.

It has never been easier to cheat than it is today. With all the technology available, students needn’t cheat by looking over their shoulders anymore. They use mobile phones to send answers to each other during a test. There is also the Internet. With hundreds of websites, students don’t have to worry because they can find lots of material which they can copy and use in projects. There are even tips on the art of cheating in exams.

Obviously, if you get caught cheating, you fail the exam or the subject. But it doesn’t really matter whether you get caught or not. What’s important is that it’s wrong. You mustn’t cheat because cheating is a lie. It deceives (欺騙) people into thinking you know more than you actually do. How can you be proud of something you have achieved through cheating? In the end, it’s not about deceiving your teachers and your parents, but about fooling yourself that you can do something you really can’t.

試題分析：文章大意。考試之前你有沒有想作弊的想法，現(xiàn)在的學(xué)生考試作弊成了很正常的現(xiàn)象，當(dāng)然他們作弊都會有自己的理由，但我們知道作弊就是一種自欺欺人的做法，會讓人誤認(rèn)為自己能做實際上不能做的事情。

1.一段句子…“Cheat, cheat ...” So what are you going to do, ignore it and fail or go for it? It’s a tough decision many students must make.可知，好多學(xué)生在考前對于是否作弊難以決斷。所以答案選A。

2.細節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第二段句子…They avoid embarrassment and their parents’ anger for not doing well in an exam.可知，一些學(xué)生作弊的原因是為了取悅父母。所以答案選C。

3.it doesn’t really matter whether you get caught or not. 可知，B項不正確。根據(jù)What’s important is that it’s wrong. 和In the end, it’s not about deceiving your teachers and your parents, but about fooling yourself that you can do something you really can’t.可知，作弊最糟糕的是你在欺騙自己和別人，讓別人以為你能做事實你不能做的事。所以答案選A。
