Reading Comprehension (40%) Part One: Directions: questions 31 to 45 are based on the following passages A, B and C. Passage A Every year about 4,000,000 Americans are arrested and accused of crimes ranging from theft and traffic violations to murder. The Supreme Court (最高法院) has ruled that anyone charged with a crime has certain rights under the law. Do you know what your rights are if you are arrested? Here are four of them. First, as soon as the police arrest a person, they must tell him of his right to remain silent. Under the law, he is not required to answer their questions. Second, the police must tell him of his right to have a lawyer. The state or city government will pay a lawyer to take the case of a suspect who cannot afford one. Third, the Fifth Amendment (修正案) to the Constitution says that no person has to be a witness against himself. This means that the suspect does not have to speak against himself. Fourth, a person cannot be tried for the same crime twice. If a person has been found innocent, he cannot be arrested again, brought to court, and retried for the same crime. 31.

These things are taken for granted by everyone who shares the culture. Indeed, the children begin to learn them before their linguistic skills are far enough developed to understand a verbal description for what they are learning. This kind of learning has sometimes been called “imitation”, but that is much too simple an explanation for the complex processes that go on when a child learns what is normal and expected in his own community. Most of the rules are communicated to the child non-verbally, and he adapts to them as if no other possibilities existed. They are as much a part of him as his own body, he would no more question them than he would question the fact that he has two hands and two feet, but only one head. 41. Children have to learn a large number of things which ______ in their culture. are difficult for them to learn are regarded as especially important for them are taken as normal by everyone are expected for them to learn 42.
