Plagiarism （剽窃）

①you just found some good stuff on the web for your science report. You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use some else’s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It’s not allowed in school, college, or beyond.

②the word “plagiarism” comes from latin. It means stealing a person’s idea. But it’s not always esay to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes, it’s accidental. You really intended to do your own work, yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’ve read.

③though plagiarism can be accidental, it’s sometimes done on purpose. That’s just being lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places, you don’t have to spend the time thinking about the subject, gathering your own thoughts about it, and then putting them into original words. Cut, paste, and you are done.

④most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism. If you’re caught, your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least, you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re older and in college, some schools will kick out students who plagiarize. When you’re kicked out of one college, it can be hard to get into another.

⑤to be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that, you’ll need to know the author, the title, and the date it was published. If you write something really great, maybe some day someone will quote you in a report.

【名师解析】:题目解析：在第⑤段中，作者提供了避免剽窃的建议，强调了正确引用信息的重要性。作者指出，为了确保不侵犯他人的知识产权，需要明确标注信息来源，包括作者、标题和出版日期等。这与选项D“避免剽窃”相符，因为这些措施正是为了避免剽窃行为的发生。其他选项如A“故意剽窃”、B“剽窃的代价”和C“剽窃的定义”虽然在文中有所提及，但并不是第⑤段的主要内容。因此，正确答案是D。
