Academic dishonesty is nothing new. As long as there have been homework assignments and tests, there have been cheaters. The way that cheating looks has changed over time, though, particularly now that technology has made it easier than ever. A study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics interviewed 23,000 high school students and asked them a variety of questions about academic ethics. Of the teens surveyed, 51 percent said that they had knowingly cheated at some point on an exam but that they did not feel uneasy about the behaviour. A Common Sense Media survey found that 35 percent of students had cheated via smartphone, though the parents surveyed in that particular study did not believe their kids had ever cheated. In many cases, students did not realize that strategies like looking up answers on a smartphone were actually cheating at all. What did the Common Sense Media survey reveal? A. Most parents tended to overprotect their children.B. Many students committed cheating unknowingly.C. Students were in urgent need of ethical education.D. Parents and kids had conflicting ideas over cheating.

题目解答
答案
解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章细节的理解能力，需要准确提取并匹配选项与原文的关键信息。
解题核心思路：
- 定位关键句：明确题目问及的调查（Common Sense Media survey）对应的文章段落。
- 提取核心信息：重点关注调查结果中的矛盾点——学生行为与家长认知的差异，以及学生对“作弊”定义的误解。
- 排除干扰项：通过对比选项与原文的关联性，排除与文章内容不一致或过度推断的选项。
破题关键点：
- 学生不知情的作弊行为是文章强调的核心，需注意“unrealize”“unknowingly”等关键词的对应关系。
关键信息提取：
- 调查结果：35%的学生通过智能手机作弊，但家长不相信孩子作弊。
- 学生认知：许多学生未意识到“用手机查答案”属于作弊行为。
选项分析：
- A. Most parents tended to overprotect their children
错误。文章未提及“过度保护”，仅说明家长对子女作弊行为的不相信。 - B. Many students committed cheating unknowingly
正确。直接对应“students did not realize...were actually cheating at all”，体现学生“不知情”的状态。 - C. Students were in urgent need of ethical education
错误。文章未明确提到“急需道德教育”，仅指出学生对作弊定义的模糊认知。 - D. Parents and kids had conflicting ideas over cheating
错误。矛盾点在于家长不相信孩子作弊，而非双方对“作弊”概念的观念冲突。
