23、:1,分数:6.00)When Vice President Cheney spoke last year at Westminster College, its president, Fletcher Lamkin, expected a foreign policy address. Winston Churchill delivered his historic “Iron Curtain“ speech there, and the school has hosted speeches by other foreign leaders.To Lamkins surprise, Chen
24、ey delivered a speech against Sen. John Kerry.Lamkin, a retired Army brigadier general(准将) and the former dean of academics at West Point, felt he had been misled. He e-mailed the college community to express his disappointment and said that in the interest of balance, he would offer Kerry a chance
25、to speak. Very quickly his email made its way to the national media, and Lamkin found himself in the middle of a coast-to-coast quarrel. Lamkin says he was portrayed as “another college president trying to liberalize his students, and another president who is trying to poison tile minds of students
26、and turn them into flaming liberals.“Lamkin needed help in handling the criticism. So, like a growing number of administrators caught up in controversy, he turned to a specialist in crisis management for advice on how to explain his actions to the press and public in a clear and simple way.There are
27、 no data on how often colleges use crisis managers, but those in the field say that in a world of emails, blogs and wall-to-wall news coverage, demand is increasing. Christopher Simpson, who assisted Lamkin, says a recent crisis conference he hosted drew representatives of 70 institutions, more than
28、 expected.Earlier this year, the University of Colorado turned to Simpson for help. But his hiring led to a short-term controversy of its own, in large part because he is being paid 350 an hour. Typically, crisis consultants charge 2,500 to 3,500 a day. Simpson has since signed a150,000 one-year con
29、tract to assess the universitys public relation needs and help improve its discolored image.Not everyone is enthusiastic about crisis consultants. Linda Gray, assistant vice president at the University of Central Florida, says that “to a certain extent, the worse the crisis, the closer to home you s
30、hould deal with it.“ Gray, who was in charge of public relations at the University of Florida when a serial killer murdered several students in 1990, says, “You ought to be dealing with the crisis, not explaining things to somebody else./(分数:6.00)(1).Where did Winston Churchill deliver his “Iron Cur

34、e (法规), court rules, local practices, and the judges preferences. (偏爱)Your first step must always be to determine how a jury is selected in your judge s courtroom. When in doubt, ask the judge or his court personnel. (全体人员)Them are many variations(变化) in jury selection methods, but most are based on
35、 the two principal systems used today. The first is generally known as the “strike system“. Under this sys- tem every juror in the venire is questioned under one of the methods described earlier. As each juror is questioned, the lawyers simply fill out a sheet, often a printed form, that lists each
36、juror in succession. (连续)When the last juror has been questioned, the lawyers for each party designate (指示) those jurors against whom they wish to exercise peremptory (最后的) challenges. The lawyers then give their lists to the judge, who compares them and then simply calls the first 12 names - assumi
37、ng a 12 person jury - that have not been challenged by any party. These 12 become the jury. Alternate (轮流的) jurors, if necessary, are simply the next unchallenged names on the lists.The strike system has advantages and disadvantages. Its disadvantage is that it requires questioning every prospective
38、 (未来的) juror in the venire. Its advantages, which probably account for its growing popularity, are that it avoids most of the gamesmanship of the selection process and keeps jurors from knowing which party used a peremptory challenge against them.The traditional jury selection method, still common t
39、oday, simply fills the jury box with the necessary number of jurors. Only the prospective jurors in the box are questioned under one of the methods described above. When each has been questioned, the plaintiffs lawyer will exercise the permptory challenges he wishes to use at that time. The challeng
40、ed jurors are excused (免除) and they are replaced by new jurors from the venire, who usually sit in the back of the courtroom. The new jurors in the box are then questioned, and plaintiffs (原告) lawyer again can exercise permptory challenges against them. This process continues until plaintiffs attorn
41、ey (律师) accepts the panel and “tenders (提出) the panel“ to the defense lawyer then goes through the same steps, exercising his peremptory challenges, replacing the challenged jurors with new jurors from the venire, and continuing with this process until the defendant s lawyer is satisfied with the pa
42、n- el. He then accepts the panel and tenders it back to the plaintiff. The plaintiff s lawyer can then exercise peremptory challenges against jurors he had not previously (以前) accepted. This process goes back and forth until both sides accept the same panel of jurors. Alternate jurors, if necessary,
43、 are picked through the same process.The traditional method also has advantages and disadvantages. Its advantage is that only those jurors in the jury box need to be questioned. Its disadvantages are that it permits a great deal of gamesmanship during the selection process.Keep in mind that the two
44、selection methods described above are not the only methods employed. There are numerous (很多的) variations of these methods. The safest course is always to learn in advance how the jury for your particular (特定的) case and in front of the particular judge will be selected.(分数:5.00)(1).Which of the follo
45、wing statements about traditional method is TRUE?A. The judge only questions p4tospective jurors.B. It is the plaintiffs lawyer who exercises peremptory.C. Challenges against jurors.D. The traditional method in jury selection is rarely adopted today.(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D.(2).In the authors opinion, _.A.
46、the judge or his court personnel determines how a jury is secreted in a particular caseB. alternate jurors are not necessary in most casesC. though there are numerous variations of jury selection methods, its enough for a lawyer to understand the strike system and traditional methodD. because of its
47、 various advantage, “Strike system“ is getting more and more popular(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D.(3).We can infer from the passage that _.A. the traditional jury selection method doesnt allow jurors to know which party used a peremptory challenge against themB. lawyers play an important role in the jury selecti
48、on processC. its important for a lawyer to know in advance the names of jury membersD. whether a juror is selected lies in the position of his/her name on the list(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following is the most important difference between “strike system” and the traditional jury selection m
49、ethod?A. Every juror will be challenged under “strike system” while only the prospective jurors will be questioned under the traditional jury selection methodB. “strike system” has more advantages than the traditional jury selection methodC. Under “strike system“, only the defendants lawyer questions, but under the traditional method both the plaintiffs lawyer and defendants lawyer have the right to questionD. The lawyers need to fill out a sheet under “strike system“, but not under the traditional jury selection method(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D.(5
