8、cy are equally competent to serve on juries; that jurors should be selected randomly from a representative cross section of the community; that no citizen should be denied the right to serve on a jury on account of race, religion, sex, or national origin; that defendants are entitled to trial by the

9、ir peers; and that verdicts should represent the conscience of the community and not just the letter of the law. The jury is also said to be the best surviving example of direct rather than representative democracy. In a direct democracy, citizens take turns governing themselves, rather than electin

10、g representatives to govern for them.But as recently as in 1968, jury selection procedures conflicted with these democratic ideals. In some states, for example, jury duty was limited to persons of supposedly superior intelligence, education and moral character. Although the Supreme Court of the Unit

11、ed States had prohibited intentional racial discrimination in jury selection as early as the 1880 case of Strauder v. West Virginia, the practice of selecting so-called elite or blue-ribbon juries provided a convenient way around this and other antidiscrimination laws.The system also failed to regul

12、arly include women on juries until the mid-20th century. Although women first served on state juries in Utah in 1898, it was not until the 1940s that a majority of states made women eligible for jury duty. Even then several states automatically exempted women from jury duty unless they personally as

13、ked to have their names included on the jury list. This practice was justified by the claim that women were needed at home, and it kept juries unrepresentative of women through the 1960s.In 1968, the Congress of the United States passed the Jury Selection and Service Act, ushering in a new era of de

14、mocratic reforms for the jury. This law abolished special educational requirements for federal jurors and required them to be selected at random from a cross section of the entire community. In the landmark 1975 decision Taylor v. Louisiana, the Supreme Court extended the requirement that juries be

15、representative of all parts of the community to the state level. The Taylor decision also declared sex discrimination in jury selection to be unconstitutional and ordered states to use the same procedures for selecting male and female jurors.1. From the principles of the U.S. jury system, we learn t

21、ter定位到第一段第一句，该处讲到“判决应代表社会的良知（represent the conscience of the community），而不仅仅是法律条文。”，可知判决应该考虑在社会中公众的想法，因此D选项正确。【干扰项排除】A选项“有无文化都可以担任陪审员”：对应第一段第一句“所有符合最低年龄和文化水平（meet minimal qualifications of age and literacy）的公民都有同等能力担任陪审员”，可知陪审员需要有文化，属于反向干扰；B选项“被告不受其同侪的审判”：对应第一段第一句“被告有权接受同侪的审判（defendants are entitled

22、 to trial by their peers）”，可知本选项不符合文章内容，属于反向干扰；C选项“陪审员的年龄不受限制”：对应第一段第一句“所有符合最低年龄和文化水平（meet minimal qualifications of age and literacy）的公民都有同等能力担任陪审员”，可知陪审员有年龄限制，属于反向干扰。第2题:【选项释义】The practice of selecting so-called elite jurors prior to 1968 showed _. 1968年以前选拔所谓精英陪审员的惯例体现出_。A. the inadequacy of anti

24、后一句，该处讲到“挑选所谓的精英或蓝丝带陪审团（selecting so-called elite or blue-ribbon juries），这一做法是回避这一法律和其他反歧视法的便利途径（around this and other antidiscrimination laws）。”，可知这体现出反歧视法还存在不足之处，因此A选项正确。【干扰项排除】B选项“对某些种族的普遍歧视”：对应第二段最后一句“美国最高法院禁止在选择陪审团时存在故意的种族歧视（prohibited intentional racial discrimination）”，禁止歧视不代表歧视普遍存在，属于推理过度；C选

25、项“陪审团遴选程序中矛盾的理想”：对应第二段第一句“陪审团的遴选程序（jury selection procedures）与这些民主理想（democratic ideals）发生了冲突（conflicted）”，可知矛盾的是遴选程序和民主理想，而非遴选程序本身，属于偷换概念；D选项“最高法院法官中普遍存在的傲慢”：文中没有提到，属于无中生有。第3题:【选项释义】After the Jury Selection and Service Act was passed, _. 陪审团遴选及服务法案通过后，_。A. sex discrimination in jury selection was un

26、constitutional and had to be abolished A. 在遴选陪审团时的性别歧视违反宪法，必须废除B. educational requirements became less rigid in the selection of federal jurors B. 在挑选联邦陪审员时教育要求变得不那么严格了C. jurors at the state level ought to be representative of the entire community C. 州一级的陪审员应该代表整个社区D. states ought to conform to the

28、项排除】A选项“在遴选陪审团时的性别歧视违反宪法，必须废除”：这个法案没有要求在性别上平等，属于无中生有；C选项“州一级的陪审员应该代表整个社区”：对应第四段第三句“最高法院将陪审团必须代表社区整体的要求扩大到州一级（extendedrepresentative of all parts of the community to the state level）”，这里指的是把陪审团所代表的范围从社区扩大到州，而不是州一级的陪审员应该代表整个社区，属于偷换概念；D选项“各州在改革陪审制度方面应与联邦法院保持一致”：文中没有提到，属于无中生有。第4题:【选项释义】In discussing the

29、 U.S. jury system, the text centers on _. 在讨论美国陪审团制度时，文本以_为中心。A. its nature and problems A. 其性质和问题B. its characteristics and tradition B. 其特点和传统C. its tradition and development C. 其传统与发展D. its problems and their solutions D. 其问题和解决方案【答案】C【考查点】主旨大意题。【解题思路】第一段提出美国陪审团制度（jury system）的基本原则（principles），第二

30、段讲近年陪审团的遴选程序与民主理想发生冲突（jury selection procedures conflicted with these democratic ideals），第三段讲在20世纪，女性仍然不在陪审团遴选之列（failed to regularly include women on juries），第四段讲1968年美国国会通过陪审团遴选和服务法案（the Congress of the United States passed the Jury Selection and Service Act）。综上所述，本文以时间节点展开行文，讲述了美国陪审团制度的传统与发展，因此C选项

31、正确。【干扰项排除】A选项“其性质和问题”，B选项“其特点和传统”和D选项“其问题和解决方案”：是文章部分内容，不能概括全文，属于以偏概全。7. 单选题In the 1950s, the pioneers of artificial intelligence (AI) predicted that, by the end of this century, computers would be conversing with us at work and robots would be performing our housework. But as useful as computers ar

32、e, theyre nowhere close to achieving anything remotely resembling these early aspirations for humanlike behavior. Never mind something as complex as conversation: the most powerful computers struggle to reliably recognize the shape of an object, the most elementary of tasks for a ten-month-old kid.A

33、 growing group of AI researchers think they know where the field went wrong. The problem, the scientists say, is that AI has been trying to separate the highest, most abstract levels of thought, like language and mathematics, and to duplicate them with logical, step-by-step programs. A new movement

34、in AI, on the other hand, takes a closer look at the more roundabout way in which nature came up with intelligence. Many of these researchers study evolution and natural adaptation instead of formal logic and conventional computer programs. Rather than digital computers and transistors, some want to

35、 work with brain cells and proteins. The results of these early efforts are as promising as they are peculiar, and the new nature-based AI movement is slowly but surely moving to the forefront of the field.Imitating the brains neural network is a huge step in the right direction, says computer scien

36、tist and biophysicist Michael Conrad, but it still misses an important aspect of natural intelligence. “People tend to treat the brain as if it were made up of color-coded transistors,” he explains, “but its not simply a clever network of switches. There are lots of important things going on inside

37、the brain cells themselves.” Specifically, Conrad believes that many of the brains capabilities stem from the pattern recognition proficiency of the individual molecules that make up each brain cell. The best way to build an artificially intelligent device, he claims, would be to build it around the

38、 same sort of molecular skills.Right now, the option that conventional computers and software are fundamentally incapable of matching the processes that take place in the brain remains controversial. But if it proves true, then the efforts of Conrad and his fellow AI rebels could turn out to be the

39、only game in town.1. The author says that the powerful computers of today _.2. The new trend in artificial intelligence research stems from _.3. Conrad and his group of AI researchers have been making enormous efforts to _.4. Whats the authors opinion about the new AI movement?问题1选项A.are capable of

41、he belief that human intelligence cannot be duplicated with logical, step-by-step programsC.the aspirations of scientists to duplicate the intelligence of a ten-month-old childD.the efforts made by scientists in the study of the similarities between transistors and brain cells问题3选项A.find a roundabou

42、t way to design powerful computersB.build a computer using a clever network of switchesC.find out how intelligence developed in natureD.separate the highest and most abstract levels of thought问题4选项A.It may prove to be in the right direction though nobody is sure of its future prospects.B.Its a break

43、through in duplicating human thought processes.C.Its more like a peculiar game rather than a real scientific effort.D.It has created a sensation among artificial intelligence researchers but will soon die out.【答案】第1题:D第2题:B第3题:C第4题:A【解析】第1题:【选项释义】The author says that the powerful computers of today

44、 作者说，如今强大的计算机_。A. are capable of reliably recognizing the shape of an object A. 能够确切地识别物体的形状B. are close to exhibiting humanlike behavior B. 接近人类行为C. are not very different in their performance from those of the 50s C. 它们的表现和50年代没有很大的不同D. still cannot communicate with people in a human language D.

45、 仍然不能用人类的语言与人交流【答案】D【考查点】事实细节题。【解题思路】根据题干中信息词powerful computers of today定位到第一段第二、三句，该处讲到“但尽管计算机（computers）很有用，它们离实现类似人类行为（humanlike behavior）的早期愿望还差得很远。更别提像对话这样复杂的事情了（Never mind something as complex as conversation）。”，可知作者表达的意思是，计算机不能使用人类的语言和人进行对话，因此D选项正确。【干扰项排除】A选项“能够确切地识别物体的形状”：对应第一段最后一句“最强大的计算机也很难确切地识别物体的形状（struggle to reliably recognize the shape of an object）。”，可知计算机不能确切地识别物体的形状，属于反向干扰；B选项“接近人类行为”：对应第一段第二句“它们离实现类似人类行为（humanlike behavior）的早期愿望还差得很远（remotely resembling）。”，可知计算机还不能接近人类行为，属于反向干扰；C选项“它们的表现和50年代没有很大的不同”：对应第一段第一句“上世纪50年代，
