1、Why Would They Falsely Confess?Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime? To most people, it just doesn\"t seem logical. But it is logical, say experts, if you understａｎｄ what can happen in a police interrogation room.Under the right conditions, people\"s minds are susceptible to influence, ａｎｄ the pressure put on suspects during police grillings is enormous. In her experiment, participants were seated at computers ａｎｄ told not to hit the "alt" key, because doing so would crash the systems."The pressure is important to understand, because otherwise it\"s impossible to understａｎｄ why someone would say he did something he didn\"t do. The answer is: to put an end to an uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess. "Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn\"t do. In her experiment, participants were seated at computers ａｎｄ told not to hit the "alt" key, because doing so would crash the systems. The researchers then intentionally crashed the computers ａｎｄ accused the participants of hitting the "alt" key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility.Redlich\"s findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely confess: 59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed. ______ Of the 15-to 16-year-olds, 72 percent signed confessions, as did 78 percent of the 12-to 13-year-olds. "There\"s no question that young people are more at risk," says Saul Kassin, a psychology professｏｒat Williams College, who has done similar studies with similar results. "But adults are highly vulnerable too. " Both Kassin ａｎｄ Redlich note that the entire "interrogation" in their experiments consisted of a simple accusation-not hours of aggressive questioning-ａｎｄ still, most participants falsely confessed.Because of the stress of a police interrogation, they conclude, suspects can become convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation. "In some ways," says Kassin, "false confession becomes a rational decision. "【單選題】

6、Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president ａｎｄ the state governer both hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country here gun violence has destroyed lives, families ａｎｄ communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling ａｎｄ politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.In countries like Britain ａｎｄ Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held hostage by the gun lobby (院外活動集團) ａｎｄ the electoral (選舉) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the majｏｒsupporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong fｏｒany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not both, they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted fｏｒnine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don\"t want to give up their arms they ____ to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professｏｒin the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠殺) is an argument fｏｒmore people to carry weapons, not fewer.Americans\" clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK\"s Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隱藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American\"s responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government fｏｒprotection."【單選題】

8、A Strong Greenhouse Gas1 Methane is a colorless, odorless gas; it is also a potent greenhouse gas, ａｎｄ once released into the atmospheres, it absorbs beat radiating from Earth\"s surface. That\"s why methane is a majｏｒcontributｏｒto the planet\"s increasing temperature rise ｏｒglobal warming. Molecule fｏｒmolecule, methane\"s heat-trapping power in the atmosphere is 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas.2 With 13 billion cows belching almost constantly around the world (100 million in the U. S. alone), it\"s no surprise that menace released by livestock is one of the chief sources of the gas. Other prime methane sources: petroleum, drilling, coal mining, solid-waste landfills ａｎｄ wetlands.3 Greenhouse gases like methane ａｎｄ carbon dioxide make up only a small part of Earth\"s atmosphere, which is 78 percent nitrogen ａｎｄ nearly 21 percent oxygen. ａｎｄ without greenhouse gases to trap the sun\"s heat ａｎｄ warm the planet, life as we know it couldn\"t exist. But in the last200 years, human activity that requires burning oil, natural gas, ａｎｄ coal fｏｒenergy has magnified the greenhouse effect.4 Atmospheric concentrations of methane have more than doubled in the last two centuries. Blame fｏｒthis often focuses on big industries ａｎｄ gas-guzzling vehicles. But agriculture plays a majｏｒrole, too. In the past 40 years alone, the global cattle population has doubled.5 Cows munch mostly grasses ａｎｄ hay yet they grow big ａｎｄ hefty. Why? Because of the rumen. The rumen holds 160 liters of food ａｎｄ billions of microbes. These microscopic bacteria ａｎｄ protozoa break down cellulose ａｎｄ Fiber into digestible nutrients. A cow couldn\"t live without its microbes. As the microbes digest cellulose, trey release methane. The process occurs in all animals with a rumen (cows, sheep, ａｎｄ goats, fｏｒexample), ａｎｄ it makes them very gassy. It\"s part of their normal digestion process. When they drew their cud, they regurgitate some food to rechew it, ａｎｄ all this gas comes out. The average cow expels 600 liters of methane a day.That\"s why we say livestock gas is also a majｏｒfactｏｒof causing the global warming.Methane is ____ to the intensifying greenhouse effect.【單選題】
A.one of tire majｏｒcontributors
B.the ever-increasing atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases
C.big ａｎｄ hefty cows
D.livestock\"s normal digestion process
E.how to cut down the cattle population
F.big industries ａｎｄ gas-guzzling vehicles
正確答案:A
答案解析:選A的依據在第1段的第2句和最后一句。
9、A Country\"s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person\"s share of the goods ａｎｄ services the country produces. A country\"s standard of living, therefore, depends first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, fｏｒwe do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food ａｎｄ clothing", ａｎｄ "services" such as transport ａｎｄ entertainment.A country\"s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country\"s natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal ａｎｄ minerals, ａｎｄ have fertile (肥沃的) soil ａｎｄ a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered fｏｒmany years from civil ａｎｄ external wars, Fｏｒthis ａｎｄ other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound ａｎｄ stable political conditions, ａｎｄ freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully ａｎｄ steadily, to produce more wealth than other country.A country\"s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced ａｎｄ consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. Fｏｒexample, Britain\"s wealth in foodstuffs ａｎｄ other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible fｏｒher surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad fｏｒthe agricultural products ____ would otherwise be lacking. A country\"s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.【單選題】
A.who
B.which
C.where
D.when
正確答案:B
答案解析:本題有一定難度，干擾項干擾較大，本題考查引導非限制性定語從句的關系詞，先行詞是products，所以正確答案是B。
10、Intelligent Machines1. Medical scientists are already putting computer chips (芯片) directly into the brain to help people who have Parkinson\"s disease, but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is authｏｒof the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines ａｎｄ is one of the world\"s best computer research scientists. He is researching the possibilities.2. Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona; the virtual (虛擬的) hostess of Kurzweil\"s homepage, who is programmed to understａｎｄ what you say. Visitors to the site can have their conversations with her, ａｎｄ Ramona also dances ａｎｄ sings.3. Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities. One of his ideas is a "seeing machine". This will be "like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world", he explains. Blind people will use a visual sensｏｒ(探測器) which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensｏｒwill describe to the person everything it sees.4. Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the "listening machine". This invention will recognize millions of words ａｎｄ understａｎｄ any speaker. The listening machine will also be able to trans late into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.5. But it is not just about helping people with disabilities. Looking further into the future, Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computer. This technology probably won\"t be ready fｏｒat least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our minds will be able to live forever.People without hearing problems may also be interested in using ____.【單選題】
A.what you say
B.a pair of sunglasses
C.the listening machine
D.a visual sensor
E.who have disabilities
F.living forever in a computer
正確答案:C
答案解析:本題難度不大，針對第四段最后一句出題，考生可根據題干提示詞回到文章定位，找到第四段最后一句：The listening machine will also be able to translate into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it。 回來再看選項，很明顯，答案是C。
