Directly opposite him were two doors, exactly (23) and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege of the (24) on trial to walk directly to these (25) and open one of them. He (26) open either door he pleased; he was subject to no (27) or influence. If he opened the one, there came out of it a hungry tiger, the (28) and most cruel that could be found, which (29) sprang upon him and tore him to pieces as a punishment for his guilt.

材料:Intention can be inferred in many ways by the courts.Thus the discharge at Cadiz instead of Bombay“for nefarious reasons”was an unreasonable deviation.A transshipment was declared to be an unreasonable deviation “since no excuse has been proffered for the deviation.” A geographic deviation abrogated the contract because“there can be no suggestion that the deviation was other than voluntary.”On the other hand,where the court was unable to find that a defendants action constituted“a voluntary deviation without reasonable cause,” the defendant was exculpated of liability.The vast majority of decisions require that intention be proved in cases of deviation and quasi-deviation.The carrier has the burden of proving that it had no intention to deviate or that the deviation was not for the carriers sole benefit.Accordingly,a geographic deviation due to an erroneous change of course by the master is not a deviation,but an error in navigation;in such a case,the carrier is protected under the Rules.If,however,the master is ordered to alter the customary or planned route,or deliberately takes it upon himself to do so,for a reason other than to save persons or cargo(or some similar reason),then the course alteration is an unreasonable deviation,because it is intentional and for the carriers own benefit.nefarious,邪恶的,穷凶极恶的proffer,提出abrogate,使作废问题:If the carrier has proved that he had no intention to deviate or that the deviation was not for his sole benefit ________.A.he will be exculpated of liabilityB.he is to investigate the case furtherC.he will not be exculpated of liabilityD.he has to contact with the shipper to see if he himself is free of any liabilityA geographic deviation due to an erroneous change of course by the master ________.A.is not a reasonable deviationB.is not an error in navigationC.is a reasonable deviationD.can not be determined if it constitutes a reasonable deviationWhere the court is unable to find that a defendant's action constituted “a voluntary deviation without reasonable cause,”________.A.the defendant will not be responsible for the loss and damageB.the defendant will be responsible for the loss and damageC.if the defendant be responsible for the loss and damage can not be determinedD.the court should not make any decisionAn unreasonable deviation must be committed by the master ________.A.intentionallyB.for the carrier's own benefitC.intentionally and for the carrier's own benefitD.reasonably请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!

共用题干第一篇DNA TestingDNA testing reveals the genes of each individual person.Since the early twentieth century scientists have known that all human characteristics are contained in a person's genes and are passed from parents to children.Genes work as a chemical instruction manual for each part and each function of the body.Their basic chemical element is called DNA,a copy of which can be found in every cell. The existence of genes and the chemical structure of DNA were understood by the mid-1900s,but scientists have only recently been able to identify a person from just a drop of blood or a single hair.One of the most important uses of DNA testing is in criminal investigation.The very first use of DNA testing in a criminal case was in 1985 in Great Britain,when a man confessed to killing a young woman in the English countryside.Because police had found samples of the killer's DNA at the scene of the crime,a biologist suggested that it might be possible to compare that DNA to some from the confessor's blood.To everyone's surprise,the tests showed that he was not the killer. Nor was he guilty of a similar murder thathad happened some time earlier. At that point he admitted that he had confessed to the crimes out of fear and police pressure.The police then asked 5,000 local men for samples of their blood,and DNA testing revealed that one of them was the real murderer,so the first man was set free.In 1992,two law professors,Peter Neufeld and Bany Scheck,decided to use DNA evidence to help set free such mistakenly convicted prisoners.With the help of their students.they created a not-for-profit organizationcalled the Innocence Project. Most of their clients are poor men,many from racial and ethnic minorities.In fact,studies have shown that U. S. judges and juries are often influenced by racial and ethnic background,and that people from minority groups are more likely to be convicted. Some of these men had been sentenced to death,a form of punishment used in thirty eight states out of fifty(as of 2006).For most of these prisoners,their only hope was another trial in which DNA testing could be used to prove their innocence.Between 1992 and 2006,the Innocence Project helped free 100 men.Some of these prisoners had been in jail for ten,twenty years or more for crimes they did not commit.However,the goal of the Innocence Project is not simply to set free those who are wrongfully in jail.They also hope to bring about real changes in the criminal justice system.Illinois in the late 1990s,a group of journalism students at Northwestern University were able to bring about such a change in that state.They began investigating some Illinois prisoners who claimed to be inno- cent. Through DNA testing,the students were able to prove that in fact the prisoners were not guilty of the crimes they had been accused of. Thirteen of these men were set free,and in 2000,Governor Ryan of Illinois decided to stop carrying out death sentences until further study could be made of the prisoners' cases。The use of DNA in criminal cases is still being debated around the world.Some fear that governments will one day keep records of everyone'sDNA,which could put limits on the privacy and freedom of citizens. Other people mistrust the science of DNA testing and think that lawyers use it to get their clients free whether or not they are guilty.But for those whose innocence has been proven and who are now free men,DNA testing has meant nothing less than a return to life.And with the careful use of DNA testing,no innocent person should ever be convicted again.What is the main idea of this passage?A:DNA testing has changed the American legal system.B:DNA testing has helped innocent men go free in Illinois.C:DNA testing uses genetics to identify a person.D:DNA testing has played a key role in criminal investigation.

In other words,_______(46).He prepared agreements and contracts by which one person makes sure that another person will carry out his promises.He gives advice to people on domestic and family relationships and business problems._______(47),although the cases the public usually hears or reads about are those that come to court.The lawyer presents or defends in court claimed violations of rights,or disputes arising out of differences as to what has happened or what is legal and just.The lawyer is not only an advocate of the rights of his client but also an legal practioner sworn to uphold the Constitution and the law.Most lawyers today are generally college-trained men who have completed a course in a law school.Each state has its own rules about training and admission.In law school,students learn how to analyze and present problems for decision.They study the constitution,treaties,court decision,as well as prior ruling and precedents._______(48).In some states,instead of going to a law school,a person may experience a long period of training in a law office_______(49).This method was more popular many years ago when educational facilities were few and the body of law was small.After a person has completed formal law一school training,he must take an examination,which is known as the bar examination,to enable the state to check whether he has learnt the fundamentals of the law. Besides,the applicant must show he is of good character._______(50).The applicant is interviewed,and after his character is approved,he is then licensed to practice law.________(47)A:Most of a lawyer's work is carried out outside the courtroomB:A committee appointed by the court checks home training,college training and past behaviorC:where he learns the various techniques and the basic knowledge that others get in a law schoolD:They take tests to prove their qualifications and willingness to become a lawyerE:he helps people keep out of troubles as well as helping those who are already in troubleF:The reliance on precedents permits us to plan our affairs with certainty because we can be reasonably sure of the results of our acts

单选题Some people assert that prosecutors should be allowed to introduce illegally obtained evidence in criminal trials if the judge and jury can be persuaded that the arresting officer was not aware of violating or did not intend to violate the law while seizing the evidence. This proposed “good-faith exception” would weaken everyone’s constitutional protection, lead to less careful police practices, and promote lying by law enforcement officers in court.  The argument above for maintaining the prohibition against illegally obtained evidence assumes thatAdefendants in criminal cases should enjoy greater protection from the law than other citizens do.Blaw enforcement authorities need to be encouraged to pursue criminals assiduously.Cthe legal system will usually find ways to ensure that real crimes do not go unprosecuted.Dthe prohibition now deters some unlawful searches and seizures.Ecourts should consider the motives of law enforcement officers in deciding whether evidence brought forward by the officers is admissible in a trial.

问答题Practice 8  In 1992, two law professors, Peter Neufeld and Barry Seheck, decided to use DNA evidence to help set free such mistakenly convicted prisoners. With the help of their students, they created a not-for-profit organization called the Innocence Project. Most of their clients are poor men, many from racial and ethnic minorities. In fact, studies have shown that U. S. judges and juries are often influenced by racial and ethnic background, and that people from minority groups are more likely to be convicted.  Between 1992 and 2006, the Innocence Project helped free 100 men. Some of these prisoners had been in jail for ten, but twenty years or more for crimes they did not commit. However, the goal of the Innocence Project is not simply to set free those who are wrongfully in jail. They also hope to bring about real changes in the criminal justice system.  Illinois in the late 1990s, a group of journalism students at Northwestern University were able to bring about such a change in that state. They began investigating some Illinois prisoners who claimed to be innocent. Through DNA testing, the students were able to prove that in fact the prisoners were not guilty of the crimes they had been accused of. Thirteen of these men were set free, and in 2000, Governor Ryan of Illinois decided to stop carrying out death sentences until further study could be made of the prisoners cases.  The use of DNA in criminal cases is still being debated around the world. Some fear that governments will one day keep records of everyone’s DNA, which could put limits on the privacy and freedom of citizens. Other people mistrust the science of DNA testing and think that lawyers use it to get their clients free whether or not they are guilty. But for those whose innocence has been proven and who are now free men. DNA testing has meant nothing less than a return to life. And with the careful use of DNA testing, no innocent person should ever be convicted again.
