閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　Most offences (犯罪行為), particularly break - ins, assaults (襲擊) and hit - and - run car incidents leave traces such as broken glass, blood, fibres or hairs. All these can be left at the scene of offences, moved to a victim (受害者), carried away by the offender or exchanged when cars knock into each other. Legal medical experts are taught during their training that “every contact leaves a trace,” meaning that the criminal leaves something at the scene of crime. The first stage of any investigation, therefore, is careful examination of the scene and the collection of anything useful found there.

　　Today's well - equipped lab can help the police use everything they find in their investigation. Taking finger - prints, for example, is still one of the most well - known methods used by the police. However, this matching of fingerprints has been revolutionized by computers. A larger number of fingerprints can now be studied withina much shorter time. The use of various types of radiation makes it possible that even fingerprints left on human skin can now be recognized.

　　The smallest bit of a man's skin, hair or blood left at the scene of a crime can also be matched to an offender with certainty by using a technique called DNA profiling or finger printing. DNA is a substance present in every cell of the body; and everyone (except twins ) has a special DNA profile. A certain DNA profile can be studied and compared with the DNA profile such as blood, found at the scene of a crime. Careful study of traces left at the scene of a crime is now possible with the electronic microscope. In theory, there are limits to the use of science in law cases. This is encouraging because the forensic pathologists (法醫(yī)病理學(xué)家) say that the most powerful deterrent (威懾) to crimes is not so much the fear of punishment as the certainty of discovery.

1．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

[　　]

A．When a car accident takes place, traces of the offending car will be either left in one of the cars or both.

B．In order to collect evidence (證據(jù)), the police must investigate the scene of a crime.

C．The theory “every contact leaves a trace” is taught to cheer up the police to carry on different investigations.

D．It is very important to keep the scene of a crime as it was when the crime took place.

2．The computer helps to ________.

[　　]

A．study a fingerprint on human skin

B．study or examine bigger fingerprints

C．store more fingerprints

D．match a large number of fingerprints in a much shorter period of time

3．The evidence of the DNA profiles is accepted by the judges because ________.

[　　]

A．DNA profile are different from one another (except twins)

B．even twins have different DNA profile

C．it's easy to find the DNA profile at the scene of crime

D．it's impossible to destroy the DNA profile once it is left

4．Which of the following could be used as the best title for this passage?

[　　]

A．The Importance of the Fingerprint Study

B．Crimes and Their Traces

C．The Science of the Investigation of a Crime

D．The Development of Forensic Science

　　Tens of Thousands of couples across the United States are racing to get marred by April 30. This is the result of a new law that makes illegal(非法的) immigrants(移民) legal if they marry by then.

　　The law has sent marriage rising by 50 percent to 300 this year in immigrant-rich Los Angeles, Houston and New York. The new law, passed in the last days of the Clinton administration(任期), contains a large number of measures to help immigrants and their loved ones become legal.

　　Critics say it also brings many marriage fraud(詐騙). A key aspect allows immigrants to look for houses while remaining in the USA-if they are married to a citizen or legal resident and hand in applications by April 30After the date, applicants will have to return to their native countries to deal with their paperwork-a requirement that could take as long as 10 years.

　　Demand for marriage licenses in Manhattan this year jumped from 100 a day to more than 300. The Los Angeles County registrar(戶籍員)-recorder's office supplied 12,997 marriage license during January and February, a 59 percent increase over last year.

　　Critics say the new law encourages false marriage. There are a lot of marriage frauds as people rush to make use of this window. In the past cases citizens or legal residents were paid US 10,000 or more to marry illegal immigrants in which immigration is concluded may be investigated for as long as two years after the vows.

　　“It's not worth the risk to attempt an illegal marriage,” says INS spokesman Bill Strassberger.

     "I sat-in at a restaurant for six months, and when they finally agreed to serve me, they didn't have what I
wanted"-so went a famous line. In reality, the sit-in movement was not a joke. It began in Greensboro, North
Carolina, at 4:30 P. M., on the afternoon of February 1, 1960. On that day, Ezell Blair Jr., Joseph McNeil,
David Richmond, and Franklin McClain entered an F. W. Woolworth store. They sat down at a segregated (隔
離的) lunch counter, ordered coffee, and then refused to leave when told, 'We don't serve Negroes.'"
     The four young men had expected not to be served. What no one had expected, however, was that they
would sit there and politely, but firmly, refuse to leave. This was 1960, and throughout the South black people
were not allowed to sit at the same lunch counters with whites, swim at the same beaches, use the same water
fountains, or worship at the same churches. Segregation was the law, and it meant separation of the races in
every way.
     The next day, the four returned to Woolworth's-this time accompanied by sixteen other students. Again
they sat at the lunch counter and requested service. Again they were refused. And again, they declined to leave.
On Wednesday, February 3, seventy students filled the Woolworth's store. This time, the group included white
students as well as black. Many brought school books and studied while they waited. By this time, their protest
had become known nationwide as a "sit-in".
     On Thursday, there was trouble. An angry group of white teenagers began shoving (推搡) and cursing them
but were quickly removed by the police. By February 10, the sit-in movement had spread to five other states.
     By September 1961, more than 70,000 people, both black and white, had participated in sit-ins at segregated
restaurants and lunch counters, kneel-ins at segregated churches, read-ins at segregated libraries, and swim-ins
at segregated pools and beaches. Over 3,600 people had been arrested, and more than 100 students had been
driven away. But they were getting results. On June 10, 1964, the U. S Senate passed a major civil rights bill
outlawing (宣布為非法) racial discrimination in all public places. President Lyndon Johnson signed it on July 2,
and it became law. But the highest credit still goes to the four brave students from North Carolina who first
sat-in and waited it out.
1. In this passage, "sit-in" refers to _____.
[     ]
A. an activity where people sit together and drink coffee freely
B. a bill which outlaws racial discrimination in all public places
C. a form in which people peacefully sit and decline to leave
D. a polite behavior that everyone enjoys
2. Which statement can be concluded from the fifth paragraph in the passage?
[     ]
A. The sit-in movement was not successful.
B. The sit-in movement had a positive result.
C. Only black people participated in sit-ins.
D. A lot of protesters were arrested, with some students driven away from school
3. What was the purpose of the civil rights bill passed in 1964?
[     ]
A. The highest credit went to the four brave students.
B. It declared that segregation was a law.
C. The students were allowed to participate in sit-ins.
D. It made racial segregation against the law in all public places.
4. What is the passage mainly about?

     It's not uncommon in America for a person to belong to some kind of volunteer group. Donating
one's time and services is very much a part of the American way of life. Most charitable activities are
organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The
helping hand is extended to the poor, the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach
youngsters how to read. others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. Volunteers also take care
of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages (孤兒院) to help
children without parents.
     High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities
center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program,
or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their
sense of idealism (理想主義) students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such
activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them
becomes as important as their academic studies.
     In a like manner, throughout the year, fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and
community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a
foreign country, a flood somewhere within their own, or another natural disaster which has left people
destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food, clothing and medicines to serve an
immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of 'trick or treat' has become an occasion to collect
money for a charitable cause.
     This call to help those less fortunate than themselves arises from the humble origins of the American
nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden (受壓迫的) became dependent on the
kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.
     American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by
serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad, which no doubt enriches both his life and
those whom he serves.
1. Which of the following charitable activities is not mentioned in the passage?
A. Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people.
B. Some students bring meals to old people who can't go out easily.
C. Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake.
D. Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas.
2. Why are American high school students eager to do voluntary work?
A. Because they want to participate in some social activities.
B. Because they want to go to better universities.
C. Because they can get higher scores at school.
D. Because they can realize their dream sooner.
3.The underlined word "destitute" in Paragraph 4 probably means           .
A. lifeless
B. penniless
C. useless
D. valueless
4. American charitable activities started because           .
A. Americans are always ready to share with others
B. Americans are mostly kind
C. poor immigrants needed help badly
D. poor Americans couldn't live on without help
5.What's the best title of the passage?
A. The Call from the Poor
B. Voluntary Work in the US
C. Ways to help the Poor
D. American Volunteers Around the World
