43、agiarism解析：解析 推理判断题。本题询问的是在第一段第二句话中 this一词指代的是什么。根据文章第一段第一句和第二句的内容可知，this 指的是前面所述的人们不可能偷窃自己的东西这一观点，从而可以推断出 this指的是自我剽窃是不可能的。因此，选项 C(自我剽窃是不可能的这一观点)符合题意，为正确答案。 避错指南 根据第一段的内容可知，选项 A(所有的剽窃行为)不符合文意；选项 B(自我剽窃行为)不完全，应该是自我剽窃行为是不可能的这种观点：选项 D(自我剽窃行为是可能的这一观点)与文中所述事实相矛盾。因此可以排除这三个选项。(2).Which of the following is
44、 NOT true about self-plagiarism in academic publications?（分数：1.00）A.It is impossible when one recycles his / her work at such extent as everyone legally does.B.It is a clearly defined area especially in universities.

45、it.D.Many universities are strongly opposed to it.解析：解析 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的第二句话“自我剽窃在学术出版物中属于灰色地带”可知，这不是一个界限分明的地带。选项 B(它是一个界限分明的地带，在大学里尤其是这样)，不符合文章的内容，所以是不正确的说法，符合题意，为正确答案。 避错指南 选项 A(当一个人在一定程度上合法地再循环自己的作品时，自我剽窃就是不可能的)符合文章第二段第一句的内容；选项 C(在不同的课程上提交同一篇论文以获得学分属于自我剽窃)与文章第二段第三、四句的内容吻合：根据文章第二段第三句中所述的许多大学都间接承认自我剽
46、窃行为是有欺骗性的，可推断出选项 D(许多大学强烈反对自我剽窃行为)是符合文章意思的。因此这三个选项都符合文章意思，可以排除。(3).According to the passage, _ is the essence of self-plagiarism.（分数：1.00）A.the writer“s pursuit for money or promotionB.the writer“s laziness at his / her workC.the writer“s deception on himselfD.the writer“s deception on the reader 解析
47、：解析 事实细节题。本题询问的是根据文章内容，什么是自我剽窃的实质。根据文章最后一段的第一句话“与所有剽窃行为一样，自我剽窃的实质是作者试图欺骗读者”可知选项 D(作者对读者的欺骗)符合文意，为正确答案。 避错指南 选项 A(作者对金钱或晋升的追求)是自我剽窃的一个目的，而不是自我剽窃的实质，可以排除。选项 B(作者在工作时懒惰)与选项 C(作者对自己的欺骗)均未在文中提及，故不正确。(4).The word “cosmetic“ in the last paragraph means _.（分数：1.00）A.beautifulB.detailedC.surface D.general解析：
48、解析 语义理解题。本题询问的是最后一段中 cosmetic一词是什么意思。根据最后一段内容可知作者伪装原来文本的手段是保留原文的中心论点，做出一些改动使文本看起来不同。据此我们可知作者做出的改动不是实质上的，只是肤浅的、表面的。因此，选项 C(表面的)与文中 cosmetic一词的意思相符，为正确答案。 避错指南 解答此题的重点在于知道 surface具有形容词的词性，在作形容词时是“表面的”意思。选项 A(美丽的)，选项 B(详细的)与选项 D(一般的)均不符合题意。(5).Which of the following does NOT belong to self-plagiarism?（
