单选题{{B}}Passage Three{{/B}}
The question of ethics in the legal
profession is one that has plagued the industry since its inception. The common
image of an attorney is one who will resort to any unethical trick to twist the
laws to fit his purposes. In the more specific industry of criminal law, defense
attorneys are often criticized for advocating on behalf of defendants who are
"obviously guilty," thus becoming roadblocks on the path to justice. Much to the
contrary, however, defense attorneys provide a valuable serve that should earn
them praise, not scorn. While it is true that every lawyer will
do everything within his power to interpret the laws in the manner most
beneficial to his client, such a characterization is by no means limited to
defense attorneys. The prosecutor will do the same thing, employing all his
legal knowledge and know-how to establish the guilt of the defendant. In this
respect, the vague nature of the law is highlighted, and it becomes a virtual
necessity for each side to use every tool at their disposal, on the assumption
that the other side will also use every tool at his. The net result emerges as a
positive, in which the tricks of the opposing attorneys cancel one another out,
leaving only the truth, clearer and devoid of manipulation, presented for the
jury's consideration. Further, the defense attorney is a vital
element of the American judicial system, in that without him the defendant would
stand no chance whatsoever. Under the constitution, even the most "obvious
guilty" defendants are guaranteed the right to a fair trial, involving someone
able and willing to advocate on his behalf. Of course, there are bad apples in
the industry who are unethical and care nothing for actual justice, and whose
only concerns are their wallets. Generally speaking, however, without defense
attorneys, the system would crumble into a mere machine in which defendants are
assumed guilty, without a chance to argue or prove otherwise, and many innocent
people falsely charged with crimes would be severely punished for transgressions
that they didn't commit. It is a basic fact that the adversarial
system of justice in the United States is necessary in order to ensure the
fairest and most unbiased presentation and evaluation of the facts possible.
Without defense attorneys, that system cannot be carried out, and would result
in a loss of the civil liberties that the nation enjoys and treasures. To that
end, all of those who make that process a reality, including defense attorneys,
deserve our support and admiration, not our suspicion and
disdain.

单选题{{B}}Passage Four{{/B}}
Many tourists must have dreamed of
owning a small house in a foreign country -- perhaps on a stretch of lonely
coast -- to which they could return year after year to enjoy the sun and the
sea. Others, with even bigger ideas and a lot more money to spend, think of
buying hotels. In any case, it is absolutely essential to know a great deal
about the value of property, otherwise the buyer may be at the mercy of(由……摆布)
dishonest agents. Some tourists, however, are so foolish that
they really deserve to be cheated by agents. We would consider a person mad if
he walked into a museum and asked to "buy" a great work of art. Though no one
has told us, we all know that certain things can never be sold, no matter how
much money is offered. Yet, nearly every year since 1944, a buyer has been found
for the Colosseum (古罗马圆形剧场) in Rome. The first one was a soldier who parted with
his money for what was described as "a rather broken down and heavily damaged
building in a good position". The people of Rome eagerly look
forward to each year's "sale". They were amused to learn that, as usual, a
tourist recently expressed the desire to buy the historic building. Two agents
told him that the building was in need of repair, but the buyer could expect a
high return for his capital. They took him to the Colosseum itself and pointed
out that the top floor would make a wonderful international
restaurant. It was in an ideal position and offered a fine view
of the city of Rome. Besides, for some strange reason, so many people wished to
visit the building that the buyer would make a considerable profit on entrance
tickets. In the agents' opinion, it was well worth spending money on a building
like this. They asked the buyer for a mere 200 000 lire as a deposit and told
him they would complete arrangements that evening at a certain hotel. The
tourist was sure that he had bought 'a bargain and later went to the hotel to
meet the agents. But, of course, they never
came.
