2^EnglishandAmericanjudgesobjecttoprisonterms.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章的前三段讨论了从古代就沿用至今的把罪犯扔进监狱的方法是否

正确，它确实能帮助社会，受害者，或者受害者的家庭吗?这些疑惑引起了许多英

国和美国的法官的思考，他们想尝试其他的惩罚“lighEcriminals的方法。因此，这

句话说他们反对prisonterms是完全否定，具有片面性。

EnglishandAmericanjudgesaretryingtousealternativesentencingtopunishsome

criminals.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：由文章第四段可知，英美国家的律师们想施行另外一种惩罚方式，即

alternativesentence,它只适用于"nonviolentcriminalswhoarenotlikelytobe

dangerous...trafficaccidents."o因此，这句话是正确的。

4、Alternativesentencingisconsideredonlygoodforyoungoffenders.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文中并未具体指明akernalivesenlence只对年轻犯人有益，它是没有

年龄界限的。它只是说其对年轻人有好处(Alternativesentencesareconsidered

particularlygoodforyoungoffenders)o

5、Creativejusticeiswelcomedbythepublic.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章最后一段指出，对于这种新型的惩罚方法的最大的抵抗者是已经

死去的受害者的家属，他们拒绝任何形式的补偿，他们认为唯一公正的punishment

就是theonethatfitsthecrime。因此,creativejustice不是受公众欢迎的。

6、Anonviolentoffendercanchoose.

标准答案：betweenjailandalternativesentencing

知识点解析：文章第四段说到，alternativesentence只适用于非暴力罪犯，对公众

没有危害的人，如商店盗窃者、制造交通事故的司机等。而且被判刑期的罪犯，如

果更愿意呆在监狱的话可以拒绝这种新型的惩罚方式。

7、Alternativesentencingisalsocalled.

标准答案：creativejustice

知识点解析：此空答案见文章第五段的"Sincealternativesentencesarenotdefinedby

law,itisuptothejudges...whattheycallcreativejusdee”可知，alternativesentencing

也叫做"creativejustice"。

8、Creativejusticeisappliedto

标准答案：bothindividualsandcompanies

知识点解析:文章第十一段说，"Thejudges'screativityisnotreservedfbrindividuals

only；lawbreakingcompaniesalsocanreceivealternativesentences",可见它对个人和

公司都适用。

9、Alternativesentencingisnowpracticedinstatesandisspreadingfast.

标准答案：seventeen

知识点解析：本空答案见文章倒数第二段的第一句，alternativesentencing现在正在

17个州内实施，而且有向其他州迅速扩展的趋势。

10、CreativejusticestartedintheUnitedStatesisbasedon.

标准答案：thetheoryofcompensation

知识点解析：此题是一个概括总结题，从文中所举的例子来看(adentist,athief,a

groupofteenagers,adoctoretc.)它是建立在赔偿理论上的。

11、Prisontermstobeservedonweekendsonlyare.

标准答案：anewwayofusingtheoldtypesofpunishment

知识点解析：此空答案见文章倒数第三段的一、二句。仅在周末服刑的方式是旧式

惩罚方法的一种新的形式。

标准答案：A

知识点解析：这套体系不仅过于复杂，而且各地间的差异很大。这是句意，显然A

最合适。

49、

标准答案：R

知识点解析：下文提到所创建的长度单位并不准确，故其长度相当于地球圆周的四

千万分之一是最合理的解释，所以答案为B。

50、

标准答案：C

知识点解析：由句中转折词but可知上下分句间为转折关系，故只有C最合适。

51、

标准答案：F

知识点解析：bedefinedas是固定搭配,意为“被定义为...”。

52、

标准答案：H

知识点解析：这个单位是法国人首先创立的，所以这根伯钺棒放在法国的可能性最

大，故最佳答案为H。

53、

标准答案：J

知识点解析：由于所填之词为过去分词加on,后又接宾语，故只有J正确。be

basedon意为“建立于...基础上

54、

标准答案：D

知识点解析：句中的动词时态是一般现在时(is),而且"themetricsystem”指"公

制”，公制当然是目前科学家们所使用的体系。因而最佳答案应为D。

55、

标准答案：E

知识点解析：公制以10为基准单位，这是一般常识。

56、

标准答案：G

知识点解析：上文提到"hadnowordforanumber",故此处应为“hadnonefora

number"o

57、

标准答案：I

知识点解析：句中提到希晤人和罗马人都有具体词分别表示比10000和1000大的

数，但下文的例子表明mcgameter（100万米）是由希腊语中表示“大”的词衍生而来

的，由此可见该句指公制通过利用不确切的词扩大了度量范围。
