For example, the case theme in the trial of Erik and Lyle Menendez, two brothers accused of murdering their
24、parents, was “the abuse excuse“. The brothers should be excused because they had been severely abused. A primary case theme of the O. J. Simpson defense was “the police messed up and planted evidence“.Themes are simple, brief (one sentence!) statements that capture the essence of your argument. You
25、control the lens through which the facts will be viewed. For a trial lawyer, this is absolutely critical. If the lawyer fails to establish a case theme, he or she gives opposing counsel the advantage. Or even worse, the listeners, or those you are trying to persuade, will adopt the theme suggested t
26、o them by your adversary. Whoever controls the definition of the case is inevitably the one with the power.Just as a theme gives the listeners a generalizing principle around which information can be organized, so too does it give you one. The great trial lawyers emphasize the need for an overall st
27、rategy as well as day-to-day tactics. A case theme embodies a lawyers overall strategy in a nutshell and helps him organize the case so that he always stays on target. Use a theme to help you stay well and easily focused on the overall thrust of your presentation.A good case theme also greatly enhan
28、ces your credibility. When you establish a succinct, easy-to-remember theme, you let people know that you have a well-defined and thought-out point of view. Such specificity adds to your perceived competence and trustworthiness. Remember: successful trial lawyers are never wishy-washy.（分数：5.00）(1).T
29、he case involving two brother killers demonstrates that _.A. even murders may be excused sometimesB. a well-defined argument can win a difficult caseC. child abusers should be duly punishedD. upholding justice is the most important in court（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The message of this passage is that _.A
30、. good lawyers are of critical importance in a lawsuitB. legal procedures sometimes may run out of controlC. murder cases can be manipulated as people wishD. a well-defined focusing point is a key to win a case（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).A good case theme can prevent _.A. the trial lawyer from losing his o
31、r her target in defenseB. the opposing side from forming their case themeC. the audience from being easily persuadedD. those who have power from controlling the trial（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).An additional merit of a good case theme is that you may _.A. get more information B. control the opposing sideC.
32、 prove your competence D. trust the jury and the judge（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The last word “wishy-washy“ is closest in meaning to _.A. indecisive B. imaginativeC. inadequate D. illogical（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Hotels were among the earliest facilities that bound the United States toget
33、her. They were both creatures and creators of communities, as well as symptoms of the frenetic quest for community. Even in the first part of the nineteenth century, Americans were already forming the habit of gathering from all corners of the nation for both public and private, business and pleasur
34、e purposes. Conventions were the new occasions, and hotels were distinctively American facilities making conventions possible. The first national convention of a major party to choose a candidate for President (that of the National Republican Party, which met on December 12,1831, and nominated Henry
35、 Clay for President) was held in Baltimore, at a hotel that was then reputed to be the best in the country. The presence in Baltimore of Barnums City Hotel, a six-story building with two hundred apartments, helps explain why many other early national political conventions were held there.In the long
36、er nm, too, American hotels made other national conventions not only possible but pleasant and convivial. The growing custom of regularly assembling from afar the representatives of all kinds of groups not only for political conventions, but also for commercial, professional, learned, and avocationa
37、l ones-in turn supported the multiplying hotels. By mid-twentieth century, conventions accounted for over a third of the yearly room occupancy of all hotels in the nation; about eighteen thousand different conventions were held annually with a total attendance of about ten million persons.Nineteenth
38、-century American hotelkeepers, who were no longer the genial, deferential “hosts of the eighteenth-century European inn, became leading citizens. Holding a large stake in the community, they exercised power to make it prosper. As owners or managers of the local “palace of the public“, they were mak
39、ers and shapers of a principal community attraction. Travelers from abroad were mildly shocked by this high social position.（分数：5.00）(1).The word “bound“ in line 1 is closest in meaning to _.A. led B. protected C. tied D. strengthened（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The National Republican Party is mentioned in
40、 line 7 as an example of a group _.A. from Baltimore B. of learned peopleC. owning a hotel D. holding a convention（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The word “assembling“ in line 13 is closest in meaning to _.A. announcing B. motivating C. gathering D. contracting（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be inferred from the p
41、assage that early hotelkeepers in the United States were _.A. active politicians B. European immigrantsC. professional builders D. influential citizens（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following statements about early American hotels is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.

They were important to the community.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.十、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that our brain processes information in at least two major system
43、s. The image system appears to be associated with the right hemisphere of the brain. This hemisphere seems to be specialized to process visual and auditory imagery, spatial representation, pure melodic thought, fantasy, and the emotional components of consciousness. Imagery allows us to continue to
44、process information when we are not actively looking at or listening to new stimuli, It reproduces the sounds or sights of the past, enriching our thoughts, dreams, or fantasies with a sense of “actuality“ or context. As a coding system, imagery operates by what is called “parallel“ processing, e. g
45、., we imagine the face of a friend in one instantaneous configuration.The lexical system is largely coordinated through the left hemisphere of the brain, and its chief functions include language and grammatical organization, abstract conceptualization and reasoning. This verbal or linguistic system
46、functions sequentially; it takes time for a sentence to run its course so it can be understood.The lexical dimension is especially efficient for integrating diverse phenomena under one label or formula that allows extremely rapid retrieval of stored information (memories) later.Both imagery and lexi
47、cal systems seem essential for the highest levels of thought. It is possible, however, that the immediacy of television precludes our more active integration of images and words. We need time to replay mentally material just witnessed and also to link pictures and sounds to word labels that make for
48、 the most efficient kind of storage and retrieval. So rapidly does television material come at us that it defies the capacities of our brain to store much of it unless we actively turn our attention from the set and engage in some kind of mental rehearsal. Only in the instant “replay“ of sports programming does th
