📖 題組：
Did you know that 7 out of 10 students have cheated at least one in the past year? Did you know that 50 percent of those students have cheated more than twice? These shocking statistics are from a survey of 9,000 U.S. high school students. Incredibly, teachers may even be encouraging their students to cheat! Last year at a school in Detroit, teachers reportedly provided their students with answers to statewide standard tests. Students at the school told investigators that they were promised pizza and money if they cheated on the test as told. Similar charges at several schools in San Diego county have prompted investigation. A student at a local high school says she sees students cheating on almost every test, and the teachers don’t do anything about it. The kids claim that they’re tempted to cheat because of peer pressure and intense competition to get top grades. Many kids also say that their parents are setting a bad example by “fudging” on income taxes, lying about age to pay lower admission prices, or cheating their way out of a speeding ticket. They are sending a message to their kids that it is okay to cheat and lie. Finding solutions to this problem is difficult. In our school’s math classes, each student has different problems on their test papers, so it is useless to look at someone else’s answers. Teachers could also randomly mix the problems throughout the page. Another solution is for adults to lower their expectations. Chances are that students believe cheating is the only way to meet unreasonably high expectations. Perhaps it is time for parents and teachers to seriously examine whether higher test results are important enough to encourage cheating.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察第三段的第一句話：學生之所以產生這種想法，是源於「同儕壓力」與「激烈的成績競爭」。接著請思考：這些壓力是驅使學生去從事「正確、守法」的事情，還是「偏差、違規」的事情？當一個人因為外在誘因，心理上產生了一種想去做「不道德行為」的衝動時，哪種描述最能精確形容這種狀態？

專業點評與分析
- 大力肯定：同學，做得好！你準確捕捉到了語境中的心理狀態。在法律與公共治理中，釐清行為人的「誘因結構」是理解違法行為的關鍵，你對單字的精確解讀展現了極佳的邏輯感。
- 觀念驗證：tempted 意為「受誘惑」。文中描述學生因同儕壓力與高分競爭，產生了「作弊（cheat）」的衝動。作弊明顯屬於負面行為，因此 (D) encouraged to do wrong（受鼓動去做錯事）最契合文意，精準對應了那種明知不該卻想嘗試的心理拉扯。
