　　36.【解析】0。从语法结构上判断，此处应填一个形容词作定语，修饰online poll。结合选项可知：只有scholarship符合句意，意为“针对l000多名学生的在线匿名调查”，故选O。

　　37.【解析】H。从语法结构上判断，此处应该是过去分词短语作定语，修饰online poll，从词意和句意上排除accused，故选H。

　　38.【解析】 C。此处需要一个名词作介词宾语。调查显示，49%的本科生在整个大学期间有不同程度的剽窃行为，故选C。

　　39.【解析】 E。从语法结构上判断，此处需要一个副词作状语修饰动词catch，此部分意为“仅有百分之五的学生说他们的剽窃行为被真正揭发”，故选E。

　　40.【解析】 L。此处需要一个过去分词。此句意为“全国各地多所大学的教员被同行指责为确保本大学在全国和世界范围内排名的攀升而对作弊行为置若罔闻”，结合第2小题，进一步确认此处应该填accused，故选L。

　　41.【解析】G。此处需要一个动词。参见上题的句意可知此处应该用ensure一词，故选G。

　　42.【解析】 D。此处需要一个名词作宾语。与essay相关的名词，只有title，此处意为“把论文的题目输入到Google搜索引擎里面搜索相关的文章”。故选D。

　　43.【解析】J。此处需要一个名词作介词宾语。此处的“a blank word document”意为“一个空白word文档”，故选J。

　　44.【解析】N。此处需要一个现在分词作作宾补足语。从语法结构上判断，此处是with的复合结构，因为宾语与宾补之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词admitting(with+宾语+现在分词)，故选N。

　　45.【解析】l。此处需要一个名词作介词宾语。根据句意可知：作弊可能带来的后果是得不到学位或将已经颁发的学位收回，所以应该用degree，而不是scholarship，故选I。
