Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. For instance, witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a lineup of people. They can become confused by seeing many photographs or similar faces. The number of people in the lineup, and whether it is a live lineup or a photograph, may also affect a witnesss decision. People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races. The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.
Question 33: What do we learn about Bernard Jackson?
Question 34: What led directly to Jacksons sentence?
Question 35: What lesson do we learn from Jacksons case?
Passage 3
本篇文章讲述了Jackson因为被目击证人误认而被判刑,虽然最后洗清了罪名,但是却留下了惨痛的记忆。文章接着论述了为什么会出现这样的问题。可能是因为被害者对犯罪嫌疑人产生的混淆的记忆,或者在指认犯罪嫌疑人的过程中出现了不确定的情况。
虽然总体来说这篇文章难度不大,但是因为涉及专业知识,有一些词汇可能会成为考生的障碍。例如:testimony: 证人证言;witness: 目击证人;jury: 陪审团;sentence :刑期。如果考生平时能对这些单词有所接触,这篇文章在理解上就不会出现太大的问题。
