  答案解析

  46.正确答案为C.这一段谈的是pressure方面的事,请注意在这个空格后面是一段引言,但没有原说话人的名字,这也给我们提示,在填入部分里应该有原说话人的名字。可以考虑的B、C、F三个选项, 但从内容上考虑应该选c.

  47.正确答案为A.这里填入的部分是对Redlich所做试验的描述,下文又讲到计算机,所以不难选定A.

  48.正确答案为F.这一段讲的是Redlich试验的结果,一开始就讲了她的finding.填入的部分里有also这个词,正好接上。而后面的一句话则用更具体的数据来支持她的结论:越年轻,越可能做假供。

  49.正确答案为.D.Saul Kassin同意Redlich的结果,她认为年轻人风险大(more at risk),但同时她又认为成年人也十分脆弱(vulnerable)。

  50.正确答案为B.由于在审讯过程中受到的压力,许多人认为做假供是一种摆脱厄境的方法,因此也是一种合理的决定。
