第62章 bribe brab vt. 贿赂
Officials are turning to ever more sophisticated and stringent measures. This year， the state of West Bengal installed internet jammers near schools in many districts. It also put CCTV cameras in exam halls and insisted students trade in their face masks for fresh ones provided by the school. More basic methods are also used: in 2019， a school in Karnataka， in the south， forced students to wear cardboard boxes over their heads—cut open on one side—to foil cheating.
【词汇难点】
stringent /'str?n(d)?(?)nt/ adj.严格的
insist /?n's?st/ vi.坚决要求
cardboard /'kɑ?db??d/ n.硬纸板
foil /f?il/ vt.阻止
【译文】
官员们正采用越来越复杂和严格的措施。今年，西孟加拉邦在许多地区的学校附近安装了互联网干扰器。它还在考场上安装了监控摄像头，并坚持要求学生将口罩换成学校提供的新口罩。更简单的方法也被使用：2019年，南部卡纳塔克邦的一所学校强迫学生在头上戴上纸板箱，在一侧打开，以防止作弊。
【语法重点】
It also put CCTV cameras in exam halls and insisted students trade in their face masks for fresh ones provided by the school.
它还在考场上安装了监控摄像头，并坚持要求学生将口罩换成学校提供的新口罩。
这一句语法上不难，需要注意的是其中的单词用法。CCTV不是指“中央电视台”，而是 closed circuit television的缩写，即“闭路电视”。insisted students trade in...是insist that somebody do something的用法。
students trade in their face masks for fresh ones 这里是trade in A for B的用法，意思是“将A换成B”，ones指代前面的masks，provided是过去分词作后置定语，修饰ones.
Yet even as officials e up with novel ideas， so do the cheats. In February， a medical student at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College in Indore， a small city， was caught with a skin-coloured Bluetooth device surgically implanted in his ear. A phone linked to the device was sewn into a secret trouser pocket. Last year， ten students taking a trainee-teacher exam were arrested for attempting to use Bluetooth gadgets concealed in the soles of their flip-flops. At least 25 students had bought such footwear from a gang for 600，000 rupees ($7，700) a pair. It is often mandatory for students to remove shoes and socks before exams. Parents， too， sometimes help with the cheating. In 2015 dozens of them scaled the outside of a five-storey building to pass answers to their schoolchildren taking crucial year-end exams inside. Hundreds， including parents， were arrested and at least 750 students expelled.
