Section B 16、B [解析] 16-18 There are many legal rights to make sure that people will be treated fairly when they are suspected or accused of a crime. Sometimes these rights are called due process of law. In using these rights, a person should have the help of a lawyer. You are protected against unreasonable searches and seizures. Generally, the police may not search you or your home, or take things you own, without a warrant. A warrant is a paper that states, very exactly, the place to be searched and things to be taken. Sometimes, However, the police will not need a warrant to search you or your property. If an officer sees you committing a crime, or if he has good cause to believe you have committed a serious crime, he may arrest you and search you and the area right around you without a warrant. If you invite a policeman without a warrant to come into your home and he finds proof of a crime, the evidence may be used against you in court. If you do not want an officer to search you or your home and be does not has a warrant, tell him that you do not give him the right to search. However, if the officer will not listen, do not try to stop him. It is dangerous to resist and it may be illegal to do so. Any evidence which a policeman gets during an unlawful search and seizure cannot be used against you. Police must act reasonably and fairly at all times. They should use physical force only when it is needed to arrest someone or enforce a law. Police may not use physical violence to teach someone a lesson. In all serious criminal cases you will get a lawyer free if you can not afford one. You should ask for a lawyer as soon as you are arrested and when you are first brought before a judge. No person can be forced to be a witness against himself. When in police custody, you do not have to answer questions that might help convict you of a crime. This means you may remain silent. You also may refuse to answer questions unless a lawyer is present. If you give information about a crime or confess to a crime because you were forced to do so, the information or statements cannot be used against you in court. 16. On what occasion may you remain silent when you are asked a question? 17、C [解析] What is the best title for the passage? 18、B [解析] What is a warrant, according to the passage? 19、A [解析] 19-21 A recent survey of people out of work analyzed the type of worker who was unemployed. Out of all of those registered as unemployed, the minority were women. The majority of men who were unemployed were found to be in services and engineering. However, the chance of being unemployed was also likely in the construction industry. There was some unemployment in industries such as metal goods and textiles. If somebody was unemployed from mining or chemicals, he could usually find another job. However, an unemployed person from agriculture or construction seldom found a job again. Job chances were generally much better for manual workers than for office workers. Most of the unemployed have been without jobs for more than two months. A number had been unemployed for more than a year. Undoubtedly, the longer a person is out of work, the more likely it is that he will not find another job. In addition, job prospects are definitely worse for older workers. 19. What is the most suitable title for the passage? 20、C [解析] Who can easily find another job? 21、A [解析] Who has the worst job prospects? 22、C [解析] 22-25 The recent increase in car stealing has alarmed the police who are looking for what they now believe must be a well-organized gang of professional car thieves. Most of the thefts have taken place in the rich residential areas round Southwell Park, where last week alone twenty-two car thefts were reported to the local police. Of these, only one has been found, abandoned in Rockinghill Palace Road twenty miles away. The others have still not been found except for one which had been falsely reported missing. The owner later admitted that he had forgotten where he had parked it a few days before. An interesting aspect of the thefts is that nearly all the missing vehicles had been taken from locked garages. The owners now admit that they may have left the car doors unlocked, but only one owner is not certain whether he has locked the garage door. The police therefore assumed that the gang found it easier to break into the garages where vehicles are often left unlocked at night and into locked cars parked on the roadside in daytime or at night. They advise car owners to lock up their cars even when they are kept in locked garages. 22. What has alarmed the police? 23、A [解析] Where was one car found? 24、D [解析] Why was one car falsely reported missing? 25、C [解析] What did the police advise the car owners to do?
