While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor(監(jiān)控器)a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.
Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked - remotely - to prevent Internet searches , and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?
In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid - that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers.
Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses." Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.
Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone number they once used.
Other programs can produce unique exam by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test question are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.

解析【小題1】細節(jié)理解題根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句"and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? "可從本句得知監(jiān)控Jennifer的原因是為了確保她不作弊。故選D,就是不誠實的行為。屬于上下義重現(xiàn)。
【小題2】猜詞題根據(jù)a key to encourage 以及下一句的 the technology 可以知道答案。cutting edge與key是并列關(guān)系,同時二者都可以做到鼓勵誠實行為。前面this所指代的為上文中提到的防作弊科學(xué)技術(shù),由此得知cutting edge應(yīng)該為advanced technique。
【小題3】細節(jié)理解題根據(jù)第三段 Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid -that students haven't just searched the Internet to get the right answers.可以得出答案。屬于原詞重現(xiàn)。本解析為學(xué)科網(wǎng)名師解析團隊原創(chuàng),授權(quán)學(xué)科網(wǎng)獨家使用,如有盜用,依法追責(zé)!
【小題4】細節(jié)理解題根據(jù)最后一段的第一句" Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. "可知正確選項為A。此題易錯選BD。
其實選項A包含了BD選項內(nèi)容。通過生成大量的有難也有易的問題,然后通過比較答題速度。屬于原詞重現(xiàn)。
【小題5】主旨大意標題題文章主題句位于第三段第一句"In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education."可得知本文主要討論網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程的防作弊問題,故選C。此外,文章多次出現(xiàn)cheating,屬于原詞重現(xiàn)。

Scientists are uncovering the secrets of two port cities lost under the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, a researcher said yesterday.
Herakleion and Menouthis were rich and proud cities until something reduced them to rubble (碎石) and buried them in the mud beneath 30 feet of sea water, French underwater explorer Franck Goddio said at the American Geophysical Union conference.
“This is a mystery that is ongoing,” said Goddio, a founder of the European Institute of Marine Archeology, a Paris-based underwater research organization backed by the wealthy Hilti Foundation of Liechtenstein(列支敦士登基金會).
The destruction of the twin port cities has haunted Goddio ever since he happened upon the site about 15 miles from Alexandria while exploring sunken ships from Napoleon’s fleet.
Goddio and his group of expert divers, marine archeologists(海洋考古學(xué)家) and others, are using high powered vacuums, satellite navigation systems and sophisticated sonar(聲納) to excavate(挖掘) the sunken cities from underneath a carpet of silt about one meter (three feet) high.
Walls of shops, remains of streets and gold artifacts have been found and recovered.
Some experts believe that the port cities were destroyed by a series of massive earthquakes, much like the quakes scientists believe felled Troy(特洛伊城), Jericho and other ancient cities. The uniform direction of the collapsed columns and walls suggest an earthquake, Goddio said, but no fault lines have been found nearby.
Other researchers believe a massive wave, caused by either an offshore earthquake or a distant underwater landslide, could explain the catastrophe. Still others think rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the cities.
“The argument, as you can see, continues,” Goddio said.
The reason why the two port cities disappeared under the waters of Mediterranean Sea is that ______.
A. the two port cities were destroyed by huge earthquakes
B. the disappearance of the two port cities was caused by underwater landslide
C. rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the cities
D. the story didn’t tell us at all
From the story we can draw a conclusion that _______.
A. the two port cities were famous for their wealth and the mystery
B. the two cities belonged to France
C. some mysterious creatures from other planets destroyed the two cities
D. the American Geophysical Union conference was once held in one of the two cities
This article is probably from _______.
A. a scientific magazine B. a report to the government
C. a school text book D. a scientific report in a newspaper
