  • 第1题:

    The practice of selecting so-called elite jurors prior to 1968 showed( )

    [A] the inadequacy of antidiscrimination laws

    [B] the prevalent discrimination against certain races

    [C] the conflicting ideals in jury selection procedures

    [D] the arrogance common among the Supreme Court judges


    正确答案:A
    在1968年以前选拔所谓的精英陪审员这一做法表现出______。
    [A]反歧视法的不足
    [B]对某些种族的普遍歧视
    [C]与陪审团选举程序相矛盾的观念
    [D]最高法院法官中普遍存在的傲慢态度
    答案解析:[A]推理判断题。文章第二段最后一句“Although…the practice of selecting so-called elite or blue一ribbon juries provided a convenient way around this and other antidiscrimination laws.”提到“尽管美国的最高法院已经早在1880年的斯特劳德诉西弗吉尼亚州一案中就禁止在陪审员选拔中出现故意的种族歧视,选拔所谓的精英或一流陪审团给这种或其他反歧视法提供了方便之路”,故[A]为正确答案。[B]过于宽泛;[C]与原文不符;[D]在文中未提及。

    The United States is a federal union of 50 states.The capital of national government is in Washington,D.C.The federal constitution sets up the structures of the national government and lists its powers and activities.The constitution gives Congress the authority to make laws which are necessary for the common defense and the good of the nation.It also gives the federal government the power to deal with national and international problems that involve more than one state._________(46)
    _________(47)The legislative branch makes the laws;the executive branch carries out the laws;and the judicial branch interprets the laws.The President heads the executive branch and the Supreme Court heads the judicial branch.The legislative branch includes both houses of Congress一 the Senate and the House of Representatives._________(48)For example,Congress can pass a law; the President may sign it. Nevertheless,the Supreme Court can declare the law unconstitutional and nullify(取消)it.
    __________(49)The President and the members of the Congress are elected directly.But the heads of federal departments and Supreme Court judges are appointed by the President. Every citizen votes in secret.__________(50)The people believe that their government should provide a framework of law and order within which they are left free to run their own lives.

    _________(46)
    A:The election of government takes place every four years.
    B:The federal government has three branches:the executive,the legislative,and the judicial.
    C: All the powers that are not given to the federal government by the constitution are the responsibility of the individual states.
    D:The United States government is based on the principle of federalism,in which power is shared between the federal government and state governments.
    E:Consequently,no one knows for sure whether his neighbor actually votes for or against a particular candidate.
    F:The constitution limits the powers of each branch and prevents one branch from gaining too much power.

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。第一段介绍宪法的时候提到:The constitution gives Congress the authority to...,以及It also gives the federal government the power to…介绍完宪法赋予国会和联邦政府哪些权限之后,接下来需要介绍的就是宪法没有赋予联邦政府的权力都归于各个州政府。因此正确答案选C。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。本句之后的三句话中分别介绍了the legislative branch , the executive branch , the judicial branch这三个政府部门,因此第一句是对联邦政府的构成做一概括介绍。因此正确答案选B。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。在对联邦政府的三个部门介绍过后,根据之后提出的例子可以看到这里需要讲述的就是三个部门之间权力的分散制衡,宪法限制每个部门的权力以避免某个部门的权力过大。因此这里选F。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。该句后面讲述了总统(the President)以及国会成员(the members of the Congress)的选举以及联邦各部门的领导和最高法院法官(the heads of federal departments and Supreme Court judges)的任命方式。因此本题选A:政府的选举每四年举行一次。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。前句提到:Every citizen votes in secret.每个公民都秘密投票,因此导致的结果就是没有人能确切地知道他的邻居对于某个候选人投了支持票还是反对票。因此正确答案选E。

  • 第14题:

    Text 3 In 2010,a federal judge shook America's biotech industry to its core.Companies had won patents for isolated DNA for decades—by 2005 some 20%of human genes were patented.But in March 2012 a judge ruled that genes were unpatentable.Executives were violently agitated.The Biotechnology Industry Organization(BIO),a trade group,assured members that this was just a“preliminary step”in a longer battle.On July 29th they were relieved,at least temporarily.A federal appeals court overturned the prior decision,ruling that Myriad Genetics could indeed hold patents to two genes that help forecast a woman's risk of breast cancer.The chief executive of Myriad,a company in Utah,said the ruling was a blessing to firms and patients alike.But as companies continue their attempts at personalized medicine,the courts will remain rather busy.The Myriad case itself is probably not over.Critics make three main arguments against gene patents:a gene is a product of nature,so it may not be patented;gene patents suppress innovation rather than reward it;and patents’monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriad's.A growing number seem to agree.Last year a federal taskforce urged reform for patents related to genetic tests.In October the Department of Justice filed a brief in the Myriad case,arguing that an isolated DNA molecule“is no less a product of nature…than are cotton fibres that have been separated from cotton seeds.”Despite the appeals court's decision,big questions remain unanswered.For example,it is unclear whether the sequencing of a whole genome violates the patents of individual genes within it.The case may yet reach the Supreme Court.As the industry advances,however,other suits may have an even greater impact.Companies are unlikely to file many more patents for human DNA molecules—most are unlikely patented or in the public domain.Firms are now studying how genes interact,looking for correlations that might be used to determine the causes of disease or predict a drug's efficacy.Companies are eager to win patents for“connecting the dots,”explains Hans Sauer,a lawyers for the BIO.Their success may be determined by a suit related to this issue,brought by the Mayo Clinic,which the Supreme Court will hear in its next term.The BIO recently held a convention which included sessions to coach lawyers on the shifting landscape for patents.Each meeting was packed.
    By saying“Each meeting was packed”(Line 4,Para.6),the author means that_____

    A.the supreme court was authoritative
    B.the BIO was a powerful organization
    C.gene patenting was a great concern
    D.lawyers were keen to attend conventions

    答案:C
    解析:
    含义题【命题思路】这是一道句意理解题,需要根据句子的上下文找到解题的线索,从而得出答案。【直击答案】文章最后一段提到:BIO最近要召开的一个会议,该会议包括指导律师们处理目前的专利问题。紧接着谈到“Each meeting was packed”,这句话中的“packed”的原义为“打包,包装”,而在此句中的意思是“挤满,塞满”,即会议挤满了人。从而反映了大家对基因专利的关注。再从全文的角度来看,本文都是围绕基因专利的问题展开,故正确答案为C项。【干扰排除】A项属于无中生有,末段第一句提到了高级法院将会在下一轮听证这个案件,并未提及高级法院很有权威。B项属于主观臆断,原文提及该组织将会举行会议指导律师处理专利问题,并没有对该组织进行任何评论。D项以偏概全,训练律师只是这次大会的一部分内容,并没有谈及律师是否热衷于参加会议。
