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 study 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, a psychology 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. 答案 46. C 47. A 48. F 49. D 50. B 解析 46. C 解答此题时要注意，空后是一段引文，而空前又没有引文，所以此空处一定是引用了某人的话，因此答案只可能在B、C、D中。但D只是一句引用的话并没有提及是谁说的，这不符常理，故排除。B 虽然提到了 Kassin，但没有对其身份进行说明，这也不符“第一次提到某人是要有说明”的习惯（实际上他出现在第五段），故排除B.因此只能选C，从内容上看也符合。 47. A 本段提到一个心理学家做了一个实验（a laboratory study），也提到了 crashed the computers 和 the "alt" key ,这些都和选项A 对应了起来。这也是补全短文的重要策略，文章和选项的对应关系。 48. F 分析了缺空处前后的句子，得知年龄越小越容易错误地妥协。 49. D 本段首句提到“毫无疑问年轻人错误妥协的危险性很大”，然后从选项中看，D在形式（引文）和内容（adults 与 上文 young people 形成对比）均符合文意。 50. B 由于审讯室的巨大压力，嫌疑人很可能为了逃离那种环境而承认自己本没有做过的事。因此，Kassin说，从某种程度上看，错误的妥协在那种情况下是一种理性的选择。
