Question

Taking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them. When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting.

? One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the Internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.

? After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, and then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said. “It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way,” Rungruangkitkrai added.

試題分析：泰國農業大學因為考場太小，學生彼此坐得很靠近，為了防止作弊，學校就如何防止作弊向學生征求意見。學生們認為戴“防作弊帽”是最合適的方法。這種防作弊帽在網上引起了網友的批評。

1.根據第二段“the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats.”可知，這個大學受到批評是因為讓學生戴自制的、看起來很滑稽的防作弊帽。故選A。

2.根據第三段“the hats idea came from students ...Students came up with different ideas, and then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. ...no one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so”可知，使用防作弊帽的想法來自學生，學生們都是自愿戴防作弊帽的，說明學生對此持有支持態度。故選B。

3.根據第三段“When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed”可知，學生戴上防作弊帽之后感到放松，由此可見，不是毫無用處，排除A；根據第三段“no one was forced to use the hat ...It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams.”可知，學生都是自愿戴防作弊帽的，使用防作弊帽并不意味著學生們經常作弊，排除B、D；故選C。
