大学英语作文：Academic corruption 学术腐败

1) Show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the pictures below(描述点题段).

2) Give a specific example, and. (举例说明段)

3) Give your suggestion as to the best way to overcome it (前瞻感言段)

The picture symbolically depicts how some people who call themselves “scholars” are doing their research. Instead of writing their own research papers, they resort to copying each other’s works. Looking at the picture, we cannot but worry about the problem of intellectual honesty—an issue vital to the healthy development of our science and technology cause.

Suppose that every scientist or researcher does not do experiments, but plagiarize others’ research results, then what would happen? There would be no intellectual honesty and people would no longer believe what the scientists say. Since scientists are noble elites of society, if their words are incredible, then the credibility of the whole society would deteriorate and collapse.

Therefore, intellectual credibility is not something that we can afford to lose. We each individual should start from right here and now, and attach great value and importance to the urgency of the issue. It is time that drastic measures were taken by the authorities to change the situation.

这幅图形象地描述了一些自称为“学者”的人正在做他们的研究。不是写自己的研究论文，他们诉诸于互相抄袭的作品。看到图片，我们不得不担心学术诚信问题，这对我国的科学技术事业的健康发展很重要。

假设每个科学家或研究者都不做实验，只抄袭他人的研究成果，那将发生什么?没有聪明的诚实，人们将不再相信科学家说的话。科学家是社会的贵族精英，如果他们所说的话是令人难以置信的，那么整个社会的诚信将会恶化和崩溃。

因此，知识的可信度不是我们可以承受的损失。我们每个人都应马上重视这个问题的紧迫性。当局必须采取的严厉措施来改变现状。
 

英语笑话：腐败的审判 The Corruption Trial

At the height of a political corruption trial，the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness．“Isn’t it true，”he bellowed，“that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case？”The witness stared out the window，as though he hadn’t heard the question．The prosecutor again blared，“Isn’t it true that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case？”The witness still did not respond．Finally，the judge leaned over and said，“Sir，please answer the question．”

“Oh，”the startled witness said，“I thought he was talking to you．”

腐败的审判

对一起政治腐败案的审判进入了高潮。检察官对证人发起攻击。“事实难道不是很清楚吗？”他吼道，“你收受了五千美元，从而失去了自己在这起案件中应有的公正立场。”证人向窗外看去，好像没有听到。检察官又一次地咆哮道：“你收受了五千美元，从而使自己在这起案件中不能持有公正立场。你能否认这样的事实吗？”证人仍然不做回答。最后，法官把身子凑了过来，说道：“先生，请您回答问题。”

“噢，”证人很惊讶地说，“我以为他在和您说话。”
