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.

试题分析：泰国农业大学因为考场太小，学生彼此坐得很靠近，为了防止作弊，学校就如何防止作弊向学生征求意见。学生们认为戴“防作弊帽”是最合适的方法。这种防作弊帽在网上引起了网友的批评。

1.根据第二段“the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats.”可知，这个大学受到批评是因为让学生戴自制的、看起来很滑稽的防作弊帽。故选A。

2.根据第三段“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来自学生，学生们都是自愿戴防作弊帽的，说明学生对此持有支持态度。故选B。

3.根据第三段“When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed”可知，学生戴上防作弊帽之后感到放松，由此可见，不是毫无用处，排除A；根据第三段“no one was forced to use the hat ...It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams.”可知，学生都是自愿戴防作弊帽的，使用防作弊帽并不意味着学生们经常作弊，排除B、D；故选C。
