LOS ANGELES — At the University of California at Los Angeles, a student loaded his class notes into a h________（A） e-mail device and tried to read them during an exam; a classmate turned him in. At the journalism school at San Jose State University, students were caught using spell check on their laptops when part of the exam was designed to test their ability to spell.

And at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, after students photographed test questions with their cellphone cameras, t_________（B） them to classmates outside the exam room and got the answers back in text messages, （1）the university put in place a new proctoring^[1] system.
