　　◆◆難句突破◆◆

　　請翻譯下面兩句!

　　◆◆解題思路◆◆

　　1. 文章第一段最后一句提到,學生不論成績優(yōu)劣,似乎都認可作弊行為,因此選C, “成績優(yōu)或劣的學生”符合原文意思.

　　2. 第二段第四句是題干的出處.第5句話是對前面一句的說明,早先的學生立志于為世界服務(wù)，而現(xiàn)如今的學生希望的是自己獲得成功.所以答案是A。B是對原文的誤解。CD都是結(jié)果不是原因。

　　3 文中提到了多種學生方面的作弊原因。只有A的表達與原文相符，可以回答題干的問題。B是文中提到的內(nèi)容，但不是原因。學生們恐懼的是失敗，不是競爭，不選C。作弊受懲罰可能性小了不是沒有，所以不選D。

　　4 語義理解題。原文說HUBER將作弊現(xiàn)象增多的原因歸咎于評估學生的方式，后面引用他的話來說明他的觀點，學生們?nèi)绻�覺得考題和評分標準不合理，他們就會設(shè)法擊敗該制度�？碱}和評分標準正是學生評估體系的內(nèi)容。

　　5 第三段中將作弊現(xiàn)象增加的原因歸咎于評估學生的方式，最后說應(yīng)該對這個體系加以審視�？梢酝茰yC正確。根據(jù)原文考試和評分體系正是評估體系的組成部分。
