　　Why Would They Falsely Confess?

　　Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime? To most

　　people, it just doesn't seem logical. But it is logical, say experts, if you understand what can happen in a police interrogation (审讯) room. Under the right conditions, people's minds are susceptible(易受影响的) to influence, and the pressure put on suspects during police grillings (盘问) is enormous. _________ (46) "The pressure is important to understand, because, otherwise, it's impossible to understand why someone would say he did something he didn't do. The answer is: to put an end to an uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess." Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratory to determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn't do._________ (47) The researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting the "alt" key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility.

　　Redlich's findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely confess: 59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed._________(48) Of the 15-to- 16-year-olds, 72 percent signed confessions, as did 78 percent of the 12-to 13-year-olds.

　　"There's no question that young people are more at risk," says Saul Kassin, Professor at Williams College, who has done similar studies with similar results. _________(49) Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire "interrogation" in their experiments consisted of a simple accusation--not hours of aggressive questioning--and still, most participants falsely confessed.

　　Because of the stress of a police interrogation, they conclude, suspects can become convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation. _________ (50)

　　A. In her experiment, participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the "alt" key, because doing so would crash the systems.

　　B. "In some ways," says Kassin, "false confession becomes a rational decision."

　　C. "It's a little like somebody's working on them with a dental (牙齿的) drill," says Franklin Zimring, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley.

　　D. "But adults are highly vulnerable too."

　　E. How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn't do?

　　F. Redlich also found that the younger the participant, the more likely a false confession.

　　试题答案解析

　　46.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，这样可以考虑的有B、C、F三个选项。从内容上进一步考虑，应选C。

　　47.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，所以不难确定选A。

　　48.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.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.B。由于在审讯过程中受到压力，许多人认为做假供是一种摆脱厄境的方法，因而也是

　　一种合理的决定
