分，共70分。）

Inrecentyears,therehasbeenanincreasingawarenessoftheinadequaciesofthejudicial

48、Thepretrialconference,intheory,issupposedtodoallofthefollowingEXCEPT

A、narrowtheissues

B、causeearlysettlements

C、savejudicialtime

D^increasesettlementcosts

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从文章第二自然段我们可以看出，作者在提出pretrialconferences时

用inorderto后接三个短语，后又说judgeswillspendlesstimeoneachcase,故A,

B,C选项均可做，只有D没有涉及。

49、Whatisthemaintopicofthepassage?

A、AllstatesshouldfollowCalifornia'sexampleinusingsmall-claimscourtsinorderto

freejudgesforotherwork.

B、Thelegislatureneedstoformulatefewerlawssothatjudiciarycancatchuponits

oldercases.

C^Nobodyseemstocareenoughtoattempttofindmethodsformakingthejudicial

systemmoreefficient.

D、Whiletherearcmanyproblemswiththecourtsystem,thereareviablesuggestions

forimprovement.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本篇通篇讲的都是法律界存在的问题及一些改进方法，故D为最佳

答案。

50、Theword"litigants"meansmostnearly.

A^jurymembers

B、commentators

C^partiesinalawsuit

D^taxpayers

标准答案：C

知识点解析:文章第一自然段二、三句讲到litigants时后跟了“totheparties"，放若

能抓住这个连词，即可做对这道题。

51、Whichofthefollowingistrueaboutsmall-claimscourts?

A^Itispossibletohaveone'scaseheardbyajuryifheorsheisdissatisfiedwiththe

court'sdecision.

B、Thelitigantsmustpleadaccuratelyandaccordingtoastrictfbrm.

C、Thedecisionmaynotbeappealedtoahighercourt.

D、Thepartiesmaynotpresenttheircaseswithoutanattorney'shelp.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章第二自然段可得出答案。此段说small-claims的优点。对于数额

不大的经济案件可用此种审判方式，原告、被告都不用花很多的钱打官司，且手续

也简化了。所以本段在最后说通过这种审判方式，案件了结以后，原告会放弃请陪

审团审判的权力及上诉的权力。由此看来，关于small-claims的说法，四个所给选

项中只有C最接近原文的意思，其余三个选项都不符合原意，故正确答案应为

Co

52、Whatcanweassumefromthepassage?

A^Mostpeoplewhofeeltheyhavebeenwrongedhaveareadyremedyincourtsoflaw.

B、Manypeoplewouldliketobringacasetocourt,butareunabletobecauseofthecoat

andtimerequired.

C、ThejudicialsystemintheUnitedStatesishighlyacclaimedforitsefficiency.

D、Pretrialconferenceswillsomedayprobablyhavereplacedtrialscompletely.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章所说都是有关法律方面存在的一些问题，虽然提出了一些改进方

法，但由于打官司费用帚贵且手续烦琐，故人们虽然有时想通过法律途径去解决问

题，但却只能望而却步。A、C、D三个选项所讲内容都与原文意思不合，只有B

符合原文意思，故此题正确答案应选答案B。
