问题    Some people argue that self-plagiarism (自我剽窃) is impossible by definition because plagiarism is theft and people cannot steal from their own work. But, this is not correct in law. And there are circumstances, such as insurance fraud, etc. , where it is possible to steal from oneself.
   Self-plagiarism, however, must be carefully distinguished from the recycling of one’ s work that to a greater or lesser extent everyone legally does. Self-plagiarism in academic publications is a grey area. However, many universities indirectly recognize the practice as deceptive(欺骗性的). They publish rules preventing students from handing in basically the same essay for credits in different courses. There are also rules against someone handing in the same graduate thesis to different universities. Among established academics, self-plagiarism is a problem. It means basically the same article or book is handed in on more than one occasion for salary raising or promotion.
   Like all plagiarism the essence of self-plagiarism is the author’ s attempts to cheat the reader. This happens when no indication is given the work that is being recycled or when an effort is made to disguise(掩饰) the original text. For example, an author just makes cosmetic changes to make the same article, chapter, or book look different. But actually it remains unchanged in its central argument. In this case, disguising a text occurs. Authors change such things as paragraph breaks, capitalization, or the substitution of technical terms in different languages. What he has done is to make readers believe they are reading something completely new. This practice is self-plagiarism.
Which of the following is NOT true about self-plagiarism in academic publications?

选项 A、It is impossible when one recycles his/her work to such extent as everyone legally does.
B、It is not acceptable in universities.
C、Handling in the essentially same essay for credits in different courses belongs to it.
D、Many universities are strongly opposed to it.

答案D

解析 根据第二段第二、三句“Self-plagiarism in academic publications is a grey area.However,many universities indirectly recognize the practice as deceptive.”可知,自我剽窃在学术出版方面是一个灰色区域,然而许多大学间接地承认自我剽窃是欺骗性的。D项说许多大学强烈反对自我剽窃,和文章内容不符,因此D项不正确。选项A、B、C均可在文章第二段中找到依据。故选D。
