第2题：
请阅读Passage 1，完成第小题。
Passage 1
The British Medical Journal recently featured a strong response to what was judged an inappropriately lenient reaction by a medical school to a student cheating in an examination.
Although we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense and concepts with face validity.
There is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. It is reasonable to assume that cheaters in medical school will be more likely than others to continue to act dishonestly with patients,colleagues, insurers, and government.
The behaviours under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial, religious, and cultural values that are acquired long before medical school. For example, countries, cultures, and subcultures exist where bribes and dishonest behaviour are almost a norm. There are secondary schools in which neither staff nor students tolerate cheating and others where cheating is rampant;there are homes which imbue young people with high standards of ethical behaviour and others which leave ethical training to the harmful influence of television and the market place.
Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society. The selection process of medical students might be expected to favour candidates with integrity and positive ethical behaviour--if one had a reliable method for detecting such characteristics in advance. Medical schools should be the major focus of attention for imbuing future doctors with integrity and ethical sensitivity. Unfortunately there are troubling, if inconclusive, data that suggest that during medical school the ethical behaviour of medical students does not necessarily improve;indeed, moral development may actually stop or even regress.
The creation of a pervasive institutional culture of integrity is essential. It is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the institution set a personal example of integrity. Medical schools must make their institutional position and their expectations of students absolutely clear from day one. The development of a school's culture of integrity requires a partnership with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and nurturing. Moreover, the school's examination system and general treatment of students must be perceived as fair. Finally, the treatment of infractions must be firm, fair, transparent, and consistent.
What does the author say about cheating in medical schools?
查看材料A．Extensive research has been done about this phenomenon.
B．We have sufficient data to prove that prevention is feasible.
C．We are safe to conclude that this phenomenon exists on a grand scale.
D．Reliable data about the extent, prevention and management of the phenomenon is lacking.答案：D解析：根据文章第一段第二句“…we have insufficient reliable data about the extent ofthis phe．nomenon，its prevention，or its effective management…”可知，到目前为止，我们还不是很了解医学院作弊现象的严重程度，也不甚明了该如何对此类现象进行预防和管理。既然目前所掌握的数据是不充足的，那么选项A、B、C所说的都不符合文章的原意，故均为错误选项。故选D。 -

态度题。文中大多是引用协会发言人和反对私人拥有氢弹者的话，很少有自己的观点和评论。一般说来，如果作者对客观记录阐述，往往文章末尾总要不由自主地写出自己的看法，但如果作者不愿意写自己的意见，也会把具有能反应作者本人倾向性的别人的意见来作为文章的结尾。结尾处，作者用了反对者的话。反对者说，私人拥有氢弹，人为地造成穷富不平等的社会局面，因而社会就不会安定。C项“怀疑藏氢弹于家的必要性”符合原文，故C为答案。 -
