"I promise." "I swear to you it'll never happen again." “I 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 ( 剽窃) 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 pee. Writers have styles like fingerprints and after several assignments. I can match a student's work with his or her name even if it's missing from the upper left-hand come.
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'll.. " Once the situation is behind us, so are the promises. Human nature? Perhaps，but we do use that cliché ( 陈词滥调) 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 PBD 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 was his own work. I gave him the identical assignment and told him to write it in class, and I'd understand this copy would not have the time and attention an out-of-class paper is given, But be 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. “l promise...I'm 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 ( 留校察看) ，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.

参考答案
56. 答案 C.
原因题。本题信息点是students commit plagiarism，要求考生获取学生抄袭的原因的信息：文章第一段提到抄袭(剽窃入 但没有提到原因：第二段第一句话是：Why is learning less important than a higher grade-point average (GPA)？其大意为： 为什么更高的分数比学习本身更重要呢？这是作者对第一段说明的现象的疑问，便暗示学生抄袭是为了得到更高的分数。由此确定选项 C 为本题答案.
57. 答案 B
本句上文提到 When we’re threatened or sick，we make conditional promises “我们处于危险中或生病中时，我们做出承诺”，接着通过举例证明我们会承诺，再接着出现本题考查的句子：once the situation is behind us，so are the promises. 本句中的so 表示 “也这样”的含义。本句大意为： 一旦时过境迁，承诺也就抛在脑后了。逸项 B 符合上下文逻辑语意，为本题答案。
58. 答案 D。
该词语所在句子主语是both his out-of-class and in-class work “他的课内外作业"上句话提到由于该生抄袭一篇博士论文被带到了系主任面前。由此可见borderline passing 即表示处于及格线边缘，选项D “低于平均水平”符合上下文逻辑语意，为本题答案。
59. 答案 B。
本题信息点是The boy’s parents thought their son should be excused。该信息出现在文章第四段倒数第二旬：His parents protested, 其大意为： 他的家长反对 (给孩子定性为剽窃，从而受到留校察看的处分)，下文便说出了家长反对的原因：“He’s only a child”and we instructors are wiser and should be compassionate ”他仅仅是个孩子”，而我们教师们更加明智，也应该富有同情心。尽管A、C 两项在本旬也有提及，但是这两个理由存在的前提是面对”孩子”的时候，由此确定选项B 为本题的最佳答案。另外，下句话老师驳斥家长观点时说：College People ac not really children and most times would resent being labeled as such，由此也可看出家长的理由是“他还是个孩子”。
60. 答案 D
本文采用了“转移重心，提出主题”的手法在文章第一段表明了主题。文章开始通过举例的方法提出了剽窃这一现象，接着作者用Not only…，but I feel a sadness that a student has resorted to buying a paper from a peer 一句提出了本文的主题：l feel a sadness that a student has resorted to buying a paper from a peer. 由此确定选项 D 为本题答案。
