Cheating is nothing new.But today,educators and administrators are finding 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 to the fact that today’s youth are far more pragmatic than their more idealistic predecessors.Whereas 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 ruined.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.Which of the following statements is NOT the reason given by students why they cheated（）

A.They did not like teachers.

B.They considered it as a game.

C.They find something wrong with evaluation system.

D.They are afraid of competition.

　　

答案：C

　　

解析：

本题考查学生对作弊给出的理由。在第2段列举了一些，如出于对自己不喜欢老师的敌意，认为作弊就像一场游戏，只有被抓到时才有愧疚感。紧接着提到一个大二学生的理由认为学生有一种潜在的恐惧感，害怕压力和竞争。由此可知，A，B和D项可以与上述内容相符，C项是下文中某英语主任的观点，与本题不符。故选C。
