本文介紹了美國的陪審團(tuán)制度。第一段指出，陪審團(tuán)是美國共同法系統(tǒng)的基本組成部分。第二段分析了使用陪審團(tuán)的原因。第三和四段分別介紹了陪審團(tuán)的類型和選舉程序。
全文翻譯
美國的建國之父們作為大英帝國的'前殖民者沿襲了其法律系統(tǒng)。我們有“共同法”，即由法庭而非君主或其他像立法機(jī)關(guān)這樣的中央政府權(quán)利機(jī)關(guān)制定的法律。陪審團(tuán)由一群選來裁決案件的普通公民組成，是我們共同法系統(tǒng)基本的組成部分。
使用陪審團(tuán)裁決案件是美國法律系統(tǒng)的一個顯著特征。在世界上很少有其他國家和美國一樣使用陪審團(tuán)。幾個世紀(jì)以來，許多人已經(jīng)相信在大多數(shù)情況下陪審團(tuán)比許多國家那樣單獨(dú)使用一位法官達(dá)成的結(jié)果更公平、公正。因?yàn)榕銓張F(tuán)裁決案件是在一群人“審議”或討論后，因此他們的決定可能受到不同背景的不同人的影響，這些人必須作為一個團(tuán)體來決定什么是正確的。
陪審團(tuán)既被用在裁決普通公民之間糾紛的民事案件中，也用在裁決政府提出訟訴聲稱個人犯罪的刑事案件中。陪審團(tuán)成員從美國公民中選出并被傳喚。由固定人數(shù)組成的陪審團(tuán)在每一個需要陪審團(tuán)的案件中都會被召喚。
被指派負(fù)責(zé)案件的法官監(jiān)督陪審團(tuán)成員的選舉。在一些州，未來的陪審團(tuán)成員由法官詢問，而在另一些州，他們遵照州法律規(guī)定的法規(guī)接受代表各方當(dāng)事人的律師的詢問。

Now medical authorities express their 3 about the effect of smoking 4 the health not only of those who smoke but also those who do not . 5 ,nonsmokers who must 6 inhale the air polluted by tobacco smoke may 7 more than the smokers themselves.
As you are 8 informed, a considerable number of students have 9 in a effort to 10 the university to 11 smoking in the classroom. I believe they are 12 right in their aim. However, I would hope that it is 13 to achieve this by calling 14 the smokers to use good judgment and show concern for other 15 than by regulation.
Smoking is 16 by city bylaws in theatres and in halls used for showing films as well as in laboratories where there may be a fire hazard. 17 , it is up to you good 18 .

belief (in) 相信，信賴：I have great belief in his ability to succeed. 可見，consideration, attention 與 belief 均不切題。
4. 【答案】D. on
【解析】本題測試結(jié)構(gòu)搭配. The effect of smoking on the health 吸煙對健康的影響。
5. 【答案】C. In fact
【解析】本題測試邏輯搭配.in fact 事實(shí)上，實(shí)際上。從上下文的意思來看，正合題意。in consequence 因此，on the other hand 另一方面，after all 畢竟，均不符合題意。
6. 【答案】D. reluctantly

試題四：
Aging poses a serious challenge to OECD(Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development)countries，in particular，how to pay for future public pension liabilities. And early retirement places an__1__burden on pension financing. There is no easy solution，but__2__retirement could help.
Early retirement may seem like a worthy individual goal，but it is a socially__3__one，and makes the present public pension system difficult to sustain for long. The__4__reason is that more people are retiring early and living longer. That means more retirees depending on the__5__of those in work for their income. The__6__is worrying. In the next 50 years，low fertility rates and__7__life expectancy in OECD countries will cause this old-age dependency rate to roughly double__8__size. Public pension payments，which afford 30-80% of total retirement incomes in OECD countries，are__9__to rise，on average，by over three percentage points in GDP and by as much as eight percentage points in some countries.__10__is the pressure on pension funds that there is a danger of today‘s workers not getting the pensions they expected or felt they__11__for.
Action is needed，__12__simply aiming to reduce the__13__(and cost)of public pensions，or trying to__14__the role of privately funded pensions within the system，though necessary steps，may be__15__to deal with the dependency challenge. After years of__16__early retirement schemes to avoid__17__and higher unemployment，many governments are now looking__18__persuading people to stay in work until they are older. Surely，the thinking goes，if we are healthier now and jobs are physically less__19__and unemployment is down，then perhaps the__20__rate should rise anew.

總體分析
本文主要討論了老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國家現(xiàn)存養(yǎng)老體系帶來的挑戰(zhàn)。文章第一段指出老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國家?guī)淼奶魬?zhàn)，并提出推遲退休可能對解決該問題有所幫助。第二段分析了早退休給養(yǎng)老體系帶來的問題，即越來越多的人早退休而壽命延長，隨著出生率的降低，就會有更多退休的人依靠更少工作的人來為他們養(yǎng)老，養(yǎng)老金在國家財政中所占的比例增加，成為無法承受的負(fù)擔(dān)。第三段探討了解決方法，指出僅僅減少公共養(yǎng)老金的數(shù)量，增加私有養(yǎng)老的比例是不夠的，許多政府在考慮說服人們晚退休。
全文翻譯
老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國家，尤其是在如何支付未來的公共養(yǎng)老金負(fù)債方面，帶來了嚴(yán)重的挑戰(zhàn)。早退休給退休金的融資帶來了難以承受的負(fù)擔(dān)。沒有什么簡單的解決方案，但推遲退休(年齡)可能有所幫助。
早退休可能看起來是個值得追求的個人目標(biāo)，但對于社會來說卻是昂貴的，它使當(dāng)前的公共養(yǎng)老金系統(tǒng)難以持久�；驹蚴歉嗟娜送诵菰缍鴫勖鼌s更長。這意味著更多的退休人員要依賴在職者的資助作為收入。這一前景是令人擔(dān)憂的。未來50年，經(jīng)合組織國家的低出生率和預(yù)期壽命的增加將使這一老年依賴率提高大約一倍。占經(jīng)合組織國家全部退休收入30%-80%的公共退休金的支出，在國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值中的比例預(yù)期將平均增加超過三個百分點(diǎn)，而在有些國家甚至?xí)黾影藗�百分點(diǎn)。養(yǎng)老基金的壓力如此之大以至于現(xiàn)在的工人有得不到他們預(yù)期或認(rèn)為應(yīng)該得到的養(yǎng)老金的危險。

總體分析
本文介紹了羅馬人有關(guān)國家建設(shè)的理論。第一句指出羅馬人有關(guān)國家形成的理論很有特點(diǎn)。第二句至第五句指出，羅馬人的理論與希臘人的大不相同，是非常具體的。第六句至文章結(jié)尾具體闡述了羅馬人關(guān)于國家權(quán)力的所有和分配形式。
全文翻譯
奧古斯都(羅馬帝國第一代皇帝)的成功很大程度上歸功于羅馬人將國家理論化的特點(diǎn)。羅馬人沒有制定出讓希臘人感興趣的建設(shè)理想國家的宏偉藍(lán)圖。在柏拉圖的《理想國》中不涉及具體個人或國家的一種個人與國家之間的關(guān)系被詳細(xì)地設(shè)計出來，但羅馬理論家們幾乎無一例外地忽視或拒絕接受像《理想國》這樣的智力訓(xùn)練，認(rèn)為它們毫無價值。羅馬人最接近希臘模式的是西塞羅的《論國家》，甚至在這本書中西塞羅的心中已經(jīng)對羅馬有了非常清楚的想法。即使涉及到宗教和道德概念，羅馬人關(guān)于國家的想法也是具體的。羅馬的第一位統(tǒng)治者羅穆盧斯被認(rèn)為從神，尤其是從羅馬的守護(hù)神宙斯那里獲得了權(quán)力。所有憲法的發(fā)展都是一種賦予和監(jiān)督這種權(quán)力的方法。很顯然，人們相信只有先父們的立法機(jī)構(gòu)，即一家之主們組成的最初的參議院，才擁有行使這種權(quán)力所必需的宗教特質(zhì)，因?yàn)樗畛醯墓δ苁菍で笊竦膯⑹�。既�?shí)際又排外的參議員們將權(quán)力再進(jìn)一步分割，認(rèn)為他們的司法官或總管官員，將每隔一個月?lián)碛羞@項(xiàng)權(quán)力，并在之后將其擁有權(quán)擴(kuò)大到更低等級的官員。但是重要的成就是創(chuàng)造了持續(xù)的國家權(quán)力的概念，這種權(quán)力只是臨時體現(xiàn)在某些上層階級的個人身上，并且只有當(dāng)普通大眾一致同意的時候才被賦予。當(dāng)新的部門和立法機(jī)構(gòu)被創(chuàng)造出來并且?guī)缀鯖]有任何一個被擯棄的時候，這個系統(tǒng)變得越來越復(fù)雜。

Having passed what I considered the worst obstacle, our spirits rose. We 1 towards the left of the cliff, where the going was better, 2 rather steeper.
