In criminal trials by jury, the judges passes 3 (as in all trials) but the jury decides the issue of guilt 4 in
12、nocence. The jury consists of ordinary, independent citizens summoned by the court: 5 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 15 in Scotland. People between the 6 of 18 and 70 (64 in Scotland) whose names appear on the electoral register, 7 certain exceptions, are liable for jury service and the

15、分数：0.00)七、Part A(总题数：1，分数：10.00)“Healing“ and “closure“ were the two most frequently uttered words in the news coverage following Timothy McVeigh“s conviction by a Denver jury of eleven counts of murder and conspiracy for the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City. So universal was th
16、e desire to find some solace in the McVeigh verdict that practically no mention was made of the political culture that inspired his brutal truck-bombing. “What was he thinking?“ one survivor wondered on ABC, in a clip played over and over, as if there were no context for McVeigh“s calculated violenc
17、e. How quickly the nation has forgotten the deeply polarized climate of two years ago. the tide of antigovernment rhetoric from the Republican mainstream and the hateful language of conservative talk-radio; the National Rifle Association“s portrayal of agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
18、Firearms as Nazi storm troopers; the rapid rise of populist militias in thrall to theories about black helicopters and a Zionist Occupation Government; and a real government attack that had, however unintentionally, left seventy-two dead in Waco, Texas, two years before and was still very much alive
19、 on the gun-show circuit. McVeigh, trained to kill by the U.S. Army and apparently trained to think by a magazine, Soldier of Fortune, and a novel, The Turner Diaries, was not a typical militia member any more than he was a typical Republican. But such were the currents and eddies that swept him tow
20、ard his “propaganda of the deed,“ just as John Salvi, Paul Hill and other killers of abortion providers could find context for their acts in the demonizing rhetoric streaming from parts of the anti-choice movement. In the wake of Oklahoma City, the militia movement stands fragmented; leaders of the
21、Michigan Militia are even talking with scholars and the FBI to defuse Potential confrontations. Yet in February, five members of the white supremacist Aryan Republican Army were convicted of robbing Midwestern banks. In March, nine members of the Viper Militia in Arizona pleaded guilty to weapons an
22、d conspiracy charges. Also this year, in Idaho, three white supremacists were convicted of possession of hand grenades and still face trial for pipe-bomb attacks on a newspaper and a Planned Parenthood office. These acts are not tied together in any coherent conspiracy. But they are tied to the main
23、stream through a fashion for X-Files-style conspiratorial thinking that seems to be gaining momentum. Theories on the death of former White House deputy counsel Vincent Fosterthat it was not a suicideare only the tip of the iceberg. One Oklahoma City entrepreneur does a tidy business peddling videos
24、 proposing that McVeigh“s trial was itself a massive cover for government complicity in the bombing. Throughout American history, seemingly harmless fantasies have often inspired real and harmful conspiracies, whether government-sponsored ones like COINTELPRO or non-state violence like the Oklahoma
25、City bombing or Ku Klux Klan lynchings. If we are not attentive to such politically rooted thought as it develops, we perpetrate our own conspiracy, one of omission, and will never know what “he“ was “thinking“. We will have no “closure“perhaps only messages like that carried by a Ryder truck full o

31、es have identified a strong link between suicide and diagnosable mental illness, especially depression. So because women suffer from depression at a much higher rate than men, they would seem to be at higher risk for suicide. But women actually commit suicide about one-fourth as often as men. Writin
32、g in the journal Comprehensive Psychiatry, George E. Murphy, M. D., an emeritus professor of psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, says that women may be protected because of the way they think about problems and interact with others. “Women process their experiences w
33、ith friends. They discuss their feelings, seek feedback and take advice,“ Murphy says. “They are much more likely to tell a physician how they feel and cooperate in the prescribed treatment. As a result, women get better treatment for their depression.“ 1 There are roughly 30,000 suicides in the Uni
34、ted States each year, and three-fourths of those are men. But the number of attempted suicides is at least 10 times that, and even that estimate may be low because many suicide attempts are euphemistically classified as lacerations or accidental poisonings when patients receive treatment in hospital
35、 emergency rooms. Although suicide rates are lower among women, women lead men two to one in suicide attempts. So, Murphy says at least 200,000 women are involved in suicide attempts annually. But he points out that attempted suicide most often is not an attempt to actually end one“s life. Its purpo
36、se, he says, is to survive with changed circumstances. 2 In attempted suicide, both men and women tend to use methods that allow for second thoughts or rescue. Murphy says that when people intend to survive, they choose a slowly effective, or ineffective, means such as an overdose of sleeping pills.
37、 That contrasts to the all-or-nothing means like gunshots or hanging used by actual suicides. In the past, researchers who looked at the high rate of attempted suicide in women concluded that women were just not as efficient as men at taking their own lives. Murphy calls that “sexist baloney“ and po
38、ints to statistics that show that like men, women who commit suicide most often use guns. However, even as the number of women using the most lethal means increases, the suicide rate in women has slowly declined. 3 Murphy believes women are less inclined to commit suicide because their thinking is m
39、ore inclusive. While a man might tend to throw aside seemingly peripheral issues to get to the core of a problem, a woman might take more things into account. She may continue to seek input and process problems long after the point where men decide on a course of action. 4 But before they ever get t
40、o the point of considering suicide, Murphy says, women are much more likely to seek help with their problems. The classic example is asking for directions when driving. Many men refuse to do that, perhaps seeing it as an admission of weakness. They believe they are supposed to be competent in all ar
41、eas. Because they are not, they are at risk. Women, on the other hand, are much more likely to seek advice and take it. Even though depressed or alcoholic men are less likely to look for help, it still may be possible to prevent many suicides, Murphy believes. He says alert physicians might be able
42、to pick up on risk factors and refer men into treatment to help them look for ways to solve their problems without ending their lives. 5 That requires recognition that depressed men may understate their pain or their difficulty with a particular problem. Murphy says such recognition is essential if
43、men are ever to benefit from the treatments that protect women from suicide. A. “So it really goes back to the same thingthat women, when they intend to do it, can be just as effective as men in committing suicide. But they aren“t so inclined,“ Murphy says. B. If this need is truly fundamental, that
44、 may be why so many unsatisfied people resort, in the end, to taking themselves too seriously. There is a certain undeniable logic in the strategy that says: if other people won“t take me seriously enough, why not do the job myself? C. That treatment may help protect them from suicide, but Murphy sa
45、ys there is more to it. The approach to problem-solving is what lands a woman in a psychiatrist“s office in the first place. And that approach may be keeping female suicide rates lower than those of men. D. “An attempted suicide is not really an attempt at suicide in about 95 percent of cases. It is
46、 a different phenomenon. It“s most often an effort to bring someone“s attention, dramatically, to a problem that the individual feels needs to be solved. Suicide contains a solution in itself,“ he says. E. “Half of all people who commit suicide have seen a physician within a month of their fatal act
47、,“ he says. “Mostly they didn“t get diagnosed, and if they did, they didn“t get treated very vigorously.“ F. “She“ll consider not just her feelings but also the feelings of othersher family, the children, even acquaintances, and how those people will be affected by a decision like suicide,“ Murphy s
48、ays, “A man is much less likely to take those things into account. He makes his decision, and it“s about him, so he doesn“t feel the need to share it with anyone else.“（分数：10.00）九、Part C(总题数：1，分数：20.00)A=section A B=section B C=section C It is suggested that blood samples be studied to reinforce the statistical interpretation of the data. 1 DNA fingerprinting is valuable to the defense. 2 Scientists should believe that D
