单选题 The art teacher who accused Prince Harry of cheating has won her ease against Eton College for unfair dismissal.
Sarah Forsyth, 30, took the public school to an employment tribunal after her contract was not renewed. The tribunal yesterday upheld Ms. Forsyth's claim that she had been bullied by Eton's head of art, Ian Burke. But it rejected her allegations that Mr. Burke had ordered her to help Prince Harry cheat in his AS-level art by completing his written work for him. It also criticised as "unprofessional" her decision to secretly record a conversation with the prince on his way to his final exam to try to support her claim.
Ms. Forsyth brought the case after the school, which charges ￡23,688 a year, decided not to renew her contract after the summer of 2003. She also accused Mr. Burke of bullying her and giving improper assistance to pupils during exams. At her hearing in May, Ms. Forsyth claimed she had written most of the text of the prince's AS-level art coursework journal, something she said was "unethical and probably constituted cheating". She also claimed Mr. Burke "touched up" aboriginal-inspired artwork which was displayed to the media as an example of Prince Harry's work when the prince finished his time at Eton. The prince has strenuously denied any suggestion that he cheated and an investigation by the examination board found no evidence of any improper behaviour.
In its 40-page judgment, the tribunal said it was for the exam board to rule whether cheating had occurred. While the report described Ms. Forsyth as consistent and "truthful" on the whole, it rejected her allegations about Prince Harry. It ruled that her relationship with Mr. Burke was so bad that it was not plausible that he would have tried to enlist her help in any attempt to cheat. It concluded that her account of the help she had given the prince was muddled and that Mr. Burke's story was more believable.
She claimed she had written a sample answer for the prince to use as a guide which, in her account, was given to Prince Harry, cut up and stuck in the journal. The tribunal sided with Mr. Burke, who said that Ms. Forsyth had not written the piece on her own but simply sat with Prince Harry and suggested vocabulary.
However, the panel was critical of Mr. Burke and said its "inevitable conclusion" was Ms. Forsyth's dismissal had been unreasonable. The panel said, "He did undermine and bully her." Anthony Little, Eton's headmaster, was criticised for failing to look at the case fairly. The school was criticised for failing to produce any written "capability procedure" to the tribunal.
A spokesman for Eton said the school regretted its employment procedures had not been "up to scratch", but said it was pleased the tribunal had rejected the "publicity-seeking" allegations regarding Prince Harry. He added the school would be calling for the tribunal to award no compensation to Ms. Forsyth, arguing she would have been dismissed for secretly tape-recording a conversation with a pupil.

单选题 How do you describe the relationship between Sarah Forsyth and Mr. Burke?
A. They are friends and colleagues. B. They are not in good relationships.
C. Their relationship is quite bad. D. They like and help each other.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】细节题。文章开始就提出了“...Ms. Forsyth's claim that she had been bullied by...Ian Burke.”可以判断出二者之间的关系并不好，否则不会上法庭，因此排除A和D。同时从文章第四段“...her relationship with Mr. Burke was so bad that...”就可明确了解两人的关系很糟糕，因此排除B，故而选择C。

【答案解析】推理题。从文章末段可以看出发言人从另一个角度呼吁法庭把这位艺术教师开除，那就是因为她私下为自己和学生的谈话录音，但是并未明确表示这将成为她被开除的最终原因，所以B与原文不符，故为答案。A与原文中的“but said it was pleased the tribunal had reiected the 'publicity-seeking' allegations regarding Prince Harry.”对应；C与原文中的“A spokesman for Eton said the school regretted its employment procedures had not been 'up to scratch'...”对应；D与原文中“He added the school would be calling for the tribunal to award no compensation to Ms. Forsyth...”对应。
