问题 共用题干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（审讯）room.
Under the right conditions,people's minds are susceptible（易受影响的）to influence ,and the pressure put on suspects during police grillings（盘问）is enormous. _________ (1) “The pressure is important to understand,because otherwise it's impossible to understand why someone would say he did something he didn'tdo.The answer is:to put an end to an uncom- fortable situation that will continue until he does confess.”
Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to de- termine how likely people are to confess to things they didn't do.______(2)The research- ers 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.______(3)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,Professor at Williams College,who has done similar studies with similar results.______(4)
Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire“interrogation” in their experiments consis- ted of a simple accusation一not hours of aggressive questioning一and still,most participants falsely confessed.
Because of the stress of a police interrogation,they conclude,suspects can become con- vinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation.______ (5)______(4)A: In her experiment,participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the“alt” key,because doing so would crash the systems.B:“In some ways,”says Kassin,“false confession becomes a rational decision.”C: “It's a little like somebody's working on them with a dental（牙的）drill , ” says Frank- lin Zimring,a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley.D:“But adults are highly vulnerable too.”E: How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn't do?F: Redlich also found that the younger the participant,the more likely a false confession.
选项 ______(4)
A: In her experiment,participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the“alt” key,because doing so would crash the systems.
B:“In some ways,”says Kassin,“false confession becomes a rational decision.”
C: “It's a little like somebody's working on them with a dental（牙的）drill , ” says Frank- lin Zimring,a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
D:“But adults are highly vulnerable too.”
E: How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn't do?
F: Redlich also found that the younger the participant,the more likely a false confession.
答案 D
解析 空格后句是引语，因此空格前应出现说话的人，而且空格前后都谈到了压力 (pressure)，因此空格处出现与压力有关的句子的可能性最大。比较备选项发现C项（“像是有人在用钻牙齿的钻头在他们身上钻”―压力）最合适。
空格前句提到“做实验”，空格后句提到“研究者然后……”，因此判断空格处应该出现对实验情况进行详细描述的句子，这样判断A项“在她进行的实验中，实验灼参与者们坐在计算机旁，并被告知不要碰‘alt’键，因为这样做可能会使系统崩溃”合适。
选项F中的Redlich与空格前句中的Redlich呼应，选项F中的confession 与空格后句中的confession呼应，这样选项F通过两处出现同一单词的反复再现而形成上下文之间在意义上的街接和连贯。
空格前句中出现了Saul Kassin的观点句，她提出年轻人更容易（因压力而）承认有罪，D项“成年人也很脆弱”填入空格处形成对比句：对比年轻人和成年人的情况。
剩下的两个选项中，选项B中的false confession与空格前句中的falsely confessing形成近义结构之间的呼应，从而形成上下文之间的意义街接和连贯，因此答案为B。
