The question of ethics in the legal profession is one that has plagued the industry since its inception. The common image of an attorney is one who will resort to any unethical trick to（1）the laws to fit his purposes. In the more specific industry of criminal law, defense attorneys are often criticized for advocating（2） defendants who are “obviously guilty,” thus becoming roadblocks on the path to（3）. Much to the contrary, （4）, defense attorneys provide a valuable service that should earn them praise, not scorn.
While it is true that every lawyer will do everything （5） to interpret the laws in the manner most beneficial to his client, such a characterization is （6） limited to defense attorneys. The prosecutor will do the same thing, employing all his legal knowledge and know-how to establish the guilt of the defendant.（7 ）, the vague nature of the law is highlighted, and it becomes a virtual necessity for each side to use every tool （8）, on the assumption that the other side will also use every tool at his. The net result emerges as a positive, （9） the tricks of the opposing attorney cancel one another out, leaving only the truth, clearer and （10）manipulation,（11）the jury’s consideration.
Further, the defense attorney is a vital element of the American judicial system, （12）without him the defendant would stand no chance whatsoever. Under the constitution, even the most “obvious guilty” defendants （13）the right to a fair trial, involving someone able and willing to advocate on his behalf. Of course, there are bad apples in the industry who are （14）and care nothing for actual justice, and （15） only concerns are their wallets. Generally speaking, however, without （16）, the system would crumble into a mere machine in which defendants are assumed guilty, without a chance to argue or prove （17）, and many innocent people（18） with crimes would be severely punished for transgressions that they didn’t commit.
It is a basic fact that the adversarial system of justice in the United States is necessary in order to ensure（19）and most unbiased presentation and evaluation of the facts possible. Without defense attorneys, that system cannot be carried out, and （20）a loss of the civil liberties that the nation enjoys and treasures. To that end, all of those who make that process a reality, including defense attorneys, deserve our support and admiration, not our suspicion and disdain.

第1题:
（1）动词词义辨析。obey “服从”；break “打破”；twist “扭曲”；adopt “采取”。句意：律师给人的普遍印象是，不惜使用任何不道德违背法律的手段去达到自己的目的。选项C符合题意。
（2）固定搭配。on behalf of “代表，为了”，为固定搭配。没有选项A、B、D搭配，可排除。句意：辩护律师经常因为代表“明显有罪”的被告进行辩护而受到批评。选项C符合题意。
（3）逻辑关系。civil liberties “公民自由”；justice “公平，正义”；transgression “侵犯，犯罪”；ethics“伦理学”。通过关键词“thus becoming roadblocks”，可知律师这样的做法在公平正义的道路上成为了一种障碍，所以空格中应该填入正义。选项B符合题意。
（4）逻辑关系。thus “因此”；furthermore “此外，而且”；moreover “而且” ；however “然而”。根据空格前的to the contrary可知，下文提到的内容将与前文相反，构成转折关系，所以用转折连词however，选项D符合题意。
（5）固定搭配。beyond his power “超出其权力”；in power “执政，掌权”；没有at his power这种搭配，选项C可排除。within his power “在权力范围之内”。句意：然而，事实是每个律师都会尽一切努力在自己的权力范围内以对他的当事人最有利的方式来阐述法律。选项D符合题意。
（6）固定搭配。by no means “决不”；by any means “无论如何”；by all means “尽一切办法”；by what means “用什么办法”。句意：这样的特征决不仅限于辩护律师，而是符合所有律师。选项A符合题意。
（7）固定搭配。In one respect “在某个方面”；In this respect “在这方面”；In some respects “在一些方面”；In no respect “毫不，完全不”。句意：检察官也会这样做，利用自己所知道的法律知识来判定被告有罪。在这个方面，法律的不明确性得到了强调。选项B符合题意。
（8）语法题。根据上文“and it becomes a virtual necessity for each side to use every tool”，可知每一方都必须使用每一种工具。所以是指公诉人和律师两方，应该用复数their。根据固定搭配at one’s disposal “由……支配”，可知disposal用单数。选项A符合题意。
（9）语法题。根据题意，空格引导的句子为非限制性定语从句，因为in this result “在这种结果下”，所以用in which引导，在定语从句中作状语。句意：在这种结果下，对方律师的诡计互相抵消，只留下真相。选项C符合题意。
（10）固定搭配。full of “充满”； devoid of “缺乏”，没有B和D项搭配，可排除。句意：只留下真相，更清晰并且不可操控。选项C符合题意。
（11）固定搭配和语法。present for “递交给……”；present to “赠送，给予”。根据文章the jury’s consideration，最终结果要求陪审团共同考虑，所以证据要被递交给陪审团考虑，要用动词的-ed分词，选项B符合题意。
（12）逻辑关系。空格前一句提到被告辩护人是美国司法体系最重要的一个部分，空格后提到没有被告辩护人，被告就没有任何机会。所以后一句是前一句的原因解释。in that后接原因，选项A符合题意。
（13）逻辑关系和语法。根据句意：即使是最明显的被告也被保证有权得到公正的审判。所以应该用被动语态，选项A和B可排除。这里是对宪法保证公平审判的事实，不需要用将来时态。选项D符合题意。
（14）形容词词义辨析。ethical “伦理的，道德的”；unethical “不道德的”；guilty “有罪的，内疚的”；unbiased “公正的”。句意：这个行业里面有些害群之马，这些人没有职业道德，并且不关心实际的公正。选项B符合题意。
（15）语法题。根据文章意思，空格引导的句子应该是一个非限制性定语从句，用来修饰上文提到的那些害群之马，根据名词concerns可知，关系代词应该用whose在定语从句中作定语。句意：那些人的关注点只在他们的钱包上。选项C符合题意。
（16）逻辑关系。根据上下文，可知这里是指没有被告辩护律师，这一体系将崩溃为一个简单的机器，在这个机器里，被告被假定有罪。选项A符合题意。
（17）逻辑关系。further “而且，更远地”；nevertheless “然而，不过”；otherwise “另外，否则”；though “虽然，尽管”。句意：否则，被告将无机会去辩论或证明。选项C符合题意。
（18）语法题。根据空格前的people可知，空格应该作后置定语修饰people，因为无辜的人们是被指控的，所以存在被动关系，用动词的-ed分词作后置定语。选项D符合题意。
（19）语法题。根据空格后most unbiased用到了最高级，可知and前的空格也相应地要用最高级。选项C符合题意。
（20）语法题。根据文章，“Without defense attorneys, that system cannot be carried out”，可知没有辩护律师，这一制度将无法实施。所以是做出了没有辩护律师的假定，可推断下文空格会用到虚拟语气。would do表示对现在的虚拟，句意：将会导致丧失国家享有和珍视的公民自由。又根据固定搭配result in “导致”，选项B符合题意。
