阅读下列文,从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中,选出最佳答案。

London---Lazy students can now give up on work altogether as two Oxford University students have made scores of A-grade essays (论文) on the website for students to copy. The essays are on the new website “revise it”. The website includes an “Essay Lab” designed to make cheating (舞弊) as effective and effortless as possible.

    Its homepage announces to surfers (网上冲浪者) ; “Its Essay Lab 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 Douglas 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.”

    A. the students who visit the website “revise it” are all lazy

    B. students dislike exams

2Nick Rose and Jordan Mayo set up their website for the purpose of ________.

    A. helping the students to cheat in exams

    B. helping students to improve their writing

3Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

    A. Essay Lab is one part of the website.

    B. Teachers and students have different opinions about the website.

    C. Students are not satisfied with the education system

    D. Douglas Hurd often copied essays from the website.

4Which is the best title for this passage?

    A. Homework Website
