[00:01.09]易考范文十二
[00:03.39]As is vividly¹ depicted² in the picture,
[00:07.76]a man is exerting himself to grab money in the air,
[00:11.48]a voluminous book in hand.
[00:13.89]On the book are several big words—academic fraud.
[00:19.36]Obviously the painter intends to condemn³ the intellectuals
[00:23.51]who barter⁴ their honesty for fame or money.
[00:27.01]Recently, mounting negative reports about some prestigious⁵ professors
[00:32.70]have aroused public concern over intellectual integrity.
[00:36.86]These professors, in spite of their high reputation,
[00:40.79]are charged with plagiarizing⁶ others' research findings
[00:44.73]or inventing scientific data.
[00:47.68]A reliable survey of 180 researchers indicates that
[00:52.17]approximately 60% of them confessed they paid to have papers
[00:57.09]published in academic journals and that 40% of them said
[01:01.13]they once copied others' work.
[01:03.32]To make matters worse,
[01:05.18]scholars lacking in professional integrity exert a bad influence on young students,
[01:10.98]who followed the trend instead of pursuing innovation.
[01:14.59]There is no doubt that this phenomenon has blocked the country's scientific development.
[01:21.15]Therefore it is high time that
[01:24.44]administration concerned took measures to curb⁷ the misconducts
[01:28.24]and encourage creativity in academic field.
[01:31.85]Of supreme⁸ importance is transparency,
[01:35.90]which enables the government to oversee⁹ researchers’ work.
[01:39.95]The eradication¹⁰ of academic dishonesty, I am convinced,
[01:43.99]will clear the obstacles that prevent us from becoming a country of innovation and vitality¹¹.
