London-Lazy students can now give up on work altogether as two Oxford University students have made scores of A-grade essays on the website for students to copy.
The essays are on the new website, “revise.it”
The website includes an “EssayLab” designed to make cheating (舞弊) as effective and effortless as possible.
Its homepage announces to surfers (网上冲浪者): “The revise.it EssayLab is a bank of hundreds of A-Level essays covering popular topics.”
“Next time you are asked to write an essay, why not see what we have on the subject-if you are in a lazy state of mind you can even use our guide to writing the essays and then just hand them in.”
Nick Rose and Jordan Mayo, both 19 and first from Manchester, spent much of their first year as students at the university setting up the website. There is no charge for downloading the essays.
“I have never been very good at essay writing,” Rose admitted. “We don’t see essay bank as a cheating way. It’s a surprising valuable resource. You can learn a lot by reading other people’s work on the subject.”
Among other tips, the website suggests inventing important speeches to give essays extra weight: “Popular people to quote (引用) are Douglass Hurd or Disraeli.”
Hurd was a foreign secretary in the 1980s and Disraeli was a 19th century prime minister.
Teachers are expressing their opinions by e-mail that they are angry about the website that “encourages students to cheat”, but students disagree.
According to Rose: “Exams are a fight. It’s us against them.”

试题分析:牛津大学的两名学生创建了一个网站“revise.it”,他们把一些优秀的文章放到上面供学生们下载使用。他们不认为这是一种鼓励作弊的行为。
1.two Oxford University students have made scores of A-grade essays on the website”可知,牛津大学两名学生创建了一个网站,并非牛津大学所有的网站都是由学生创建的;根据第四段“if you are in a lazy state of mind you can even use our guide to writing the essays”可知,不想写文章的时候,学生可以访问这个网站,借鉴上面的文章,并非所有访问这个网站的学生都是懒惰的,更不能说牛津大学所有的学生都是懒惰的,前三项是颠倒事实,故选D。
2.I have never been very good at essay writing,...It’s a surprising valuable resource. You can learn a lot by reading other people’s work on the subject.”可知,他们创建网站的目的是为学生提供写作的资料,帮助他们提高写作水平,故选B。
3.Exams are a fight. It’s us against them.”可知,学生们在与考试作斗争,说明他们对教育体制感到不满,fight against与......作斗争,故选C。
