【警大考試-警大二技英文-呂艾肯】
中央警察大學 105 學年度學士班
二年制技術系入學考試試題解析
系別:各系 科目:英文
前言導讀:
今年警大二技考題不管是在出題方向或者是題型安排都沒有太大的變化,在考前的總複習有再三強調的遣返(repatriate)此字出現~ 另外,第一部分的單字有一題則是103年在警大研究所第9題與當年度內軌三等警察專業英文第47題(Home Confinement/House Arrest)的延伸例句。至於第8題的ETC,總算考出來了,此名詞解釋三年前到現在每年都一定提到toll此字就要講一次,今年總算出現。
至於第二題組對話部分,第一題真的考得太細了,通常口語講到的take a look at Sth..在這題裡面就出現了。但比較讓我質疑的是第17題,世界越來越小,是指實質還是抽象方面,因為的確氣候變遷海平面上升地表的確越來越小也是不爭的事實。網路上使用類似句子也都是在討論海平面上升的狀況,所以這題還是有點疑問。
第三題型的文法部分今年考較多的句型,以及一題國中副詞題目,說實話,比去年簡單。
第四部份的綜合測驗第32題就真的是答案錯誤了。 口訣之一的有 by 有被動。在這邊要選的分詞就是過去分詞,而不是 (A) 選項的現在分詞 inspiring 。出題老師應該出題時有閃神一下吧。另外這一部分有關於液體電擊槍可以參考流言終結者的影片介紹,可以了解為什麼需要再加上高壓的生理食鹽水。
第五部分的閱讀測驗一篇則是常見的一、二級犯罪預防觀念,鼓吹政府需要多照顧弱勢家庭,以及一篇測謊(polygraph)的閱讀測驗,今年的學測剛好也有一篇克漏字是關於此的,可惡,來不及收錄進去講義。
以上是關於今年警大二技英文題目的大略介紹,也祝福各位考生能金榜題名心想事成。

四、綜合測驗:請根據題意,選擇一個最適當的答案 ( 20 分 )
Coping with situations like out-of-control crowds, high speed chases, armed standoffs and hostage dramas can be a dangerous process for police, suspects, and bystanders 31 . To reduce the risk, researchers are trying to create and improve weapons that can be used without deadly force.
處理像不受控群眾、高速飛車追逐、武裝僵局和挾持人質的情況可能對於警方、嫌犯或路人都同樣是相當危險的過程。為了降低這些風險,研究人員嘗試研發並改良不會致命的可用武器。
32 by paintball battles, researchers realized the same types of guns that fire paint could fire pepper spray. The guns help officers keep their distance and avoid accidental 33 the chemical or poisonous substance.
受 漆彈生存遊戲所啟發,研究人員研發出將顏料彈換成胡椒子彈的同款槍枝。此款槍枝能幫助警方保持一定距離並避免意外接觸到化學或有毒的物質。
Another option under development is the liquid stun gun, which combines the concept of the water cannon with electric gun technology. It fires a high-pressure saline solution and is electrified with 9-volt batteries. And specifically, the liquid stun gun doesn't need reloading. Such weapons are generally considered safe, although there's a slight chance that they could prove 34 to those wearing pacemakers.
另一個仍在研法的選項是(防暴用)液體電擊槍,它結合水砲與電擊槍科技的概念。發射時有高壓的生理食鹽水並以9伏特的電池供電。更精確地來說,液體電擊槍並不需要重新裝彈藥。雖然有些許可能,它對裝有心律調節器的人顯示是有致命危險的,但那樣的武器普遍被認為是安全的。
All of these new, non-lethal weapons are still in the testing and development phases. But researchers say the products will soon be available to help law enforcement agencies deal with potentially dangerous situations without unnecessarily 35 lives.
所有這些新穎、非致命性武器仍在測試及研發階段。但研究人員表示這些產品很快就會面世並協助執法人員處理一些潛在危險性的情況而不會產生不必要的生命危害。

Mistaken eyewitness identification is the major cause of 39 innocent people. This is not to say that witnesses are insincere. 40 , normal functions of the human mind tend to distort memories. Memory can be broken into three stages: acquisition, storage, and retrieval. During every stage, people may make errors. At the acquisition stage, memories are colored by witness anxiety, duration of the event, and complexity of the event. Additionally , humans cannot possibly perceive everything that is going on around them. During storage, memory may be altered by intervening events or information. Even at the stage of retrieval, a witness may make certain claims, despite his or her uncertainty.
目擊證人指證錯誤是害無辜民眾被判刑定罪的最主要原因。這並非是說目擊證人是不真誠的。而是說,人類頭腦的正常機能會扭曲記憶。記憶可分成三個階段: 獲取,存儲和檢索。每個階段期間,人們都可能會發生錯亂。在獲取階段,記憶會因目擊者的焦慮感,事件時間長短,和複雜度而被加油添醋。此外,人們可能無法意識到所有周遭所發生的每個細節。在儲存階段,記憶可能會因為干擾的事件或訊息而有所改變。即使是在(檢索)回想起的階段,雖然不怎確定,但目擊者還是會做出一些特定的聲稱來。
39. (A) to convict (B) conviction with
(C) conviction of (D) convict
(E) conviction to
- (A) Rather (B) As a result
(C)Onlyif (D)Furthermore (E) Unless
五、閱讀測驗:請根據題意,選擇一個最適當的答案 ( 20 分 )
Children who are abused or neglected are far more likely to become criminals as adults, according to a study released by an organization of police chiefs, prosecutors, psychologists and crime victims. The report by Fight Crime: Invest in Kids recommends more money for pre-kindergarten programs and parenting classes, saying the cost will be offset later when children who might have been burdens on society grow up to be upstanding citizens. “Children who survive abuse and neglect can be significantly injured,” said one of the report's authors, Dr. Randell Alexander. “Many go on to hurt others. If you are born into a world of violence, you wire yourself for violence, not for peace.”
根據一份由警察首長,檢察官,心理學家和犯罪受害者的組織所發表的一項研究,受到虐待或忽視的兒童在成年後非常有可能成為罪犯。一篇名為打擊犯罪:投資兒童的報告中建議挹注更多金錢在學前的課程和親子養育課程,並表示當以前是社會累贅負擔的這些孩童長大成為正直的公民時,這項成本將會攤平。 這份報告中的作者之一,Randell Alexander 博士表示“在虐待和忽視中活下來的兒童會被傷得相當重。 “這些孩子中有許多會去傷害他人。如果你出生在暴力的世界,你會將自己連接到暴力,而非和平。“
Using various governmental data and academic and advocacy group studies, researchers said child abuse and neglect is vastly underreported. The 900,000 cases reported annually by the Health and Human Services Department may be only one-third of the actual total, the report said. The report cited a study published by Dr. Cathy Spatz Widom, a professor of criminal justice and psychology at the State University of New York at Albany, found that individuals who had been abused or neglected as youngsters were 29 percent more likely to become violent criminals than other children. Using that estimate, researchers said 36,000 children will become violent criminals when they reach adulthood, including 250 who will become murders.
利用各類政府數據以及學術與鼓吹團體的研究,研究人員表示,受到虐待和忽視的兒童有很大比例的未通報情況。報告中表示,每年美國衛生和公眾服務部所通報的90萬案例,也許僅是實際總和的1/3而以。該報告引用紐約州立大學奧爾巴尼分校刑事司法和心理學教授Cathy Spatz Widom博士發表的一項研究發現到,比起其他孩童,被虐待或忽視的青少年有29%將來可能成為暴力犯。具估計,研究人員表示,當他們成年時,就有36000的孩子成為暴力罪犯,其中還包括250名謀殺犯。
The report's authors include four local prosecutors and two sheriffs. They said the findings illustrate the need for more governmental funds for pre-kindergarten programs and parenting classes for families considered high-risk for child abuse, primarily those on welfare or headed by high school dropouts.
該報告的作者包括有4名當地檢察官和2名警長。他們表示,此一發現說明了學前方案與養育子女課程對於被認為有高風險孩童虐待家庭,最主要是那些領取補助或頂著高中輟學的家庭,有需要更多的政府補助。

(B) 支持花更多錢在那些領取政府補助的家庭它們的養育子女課程,該主意。
Most of us have heard of the polygraph test, more commonly known as a lie-detector test. In this test, the detectors record a person’s physiological reactions to certain questions. That is, a pair of plates that can sense and measure subtle increases in sweating is attached to a person’s fingers, while at the same time other devices monitor increases in blood pressure and pulse rate as well as breathing depth. In administering the test, examiners usually ask neutral questions such as birth dates and addresses in order to compare these responses with those from emotionally charged questions. While the polygraph is the most common and long used measure, factors such as hunger or alcohol use can cause misleading polygraph results. Minor self-inflicted pain during the test can also result in false positives.
Another technology, the electroencephalograph (ECG), is also used to detect lies, but in quite a different way. As it turns out, one particular brain wave, which researchers have isolated and can graph, surges whenever we see something we recognize. It’s impossible for any person to voluntarily suppress this surge. So, when a crime suspect wearing a special headband hooked up to an ECG machine is shown images or words connected with the crime and the brain wave suddenly spikes, the suspect’s brain is essentially shouting, I’m guilty!
Moreover, a newer form of lie detector is far simpler than any other technology, aside from simply observing body language. People cannot help hesitating ever so briefly just before telling a lie. With modern computer technology, we can now detect and measure the briefest such pauses, which tell us when someone is lying.
- Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?
- How to Cheat on a Lie Detector Test
- Do Polygraph Tests Always Reveal Lies?
- In Search of the Perfect Lie Detector
- The Technology of Crime Investigation
- Pathology Tests vs. ECG Tests
- The word “those” in line 6 refers to .
(A) responses (B) questions
(C) addresses (D) birthdates (E) examiners
- According to the passage, physiological reactions include all of the following EXCEPT
- breathing movements
- posture differences
- blood-pressure changes
- heartbeats
- sweating
- The passage indicates that whenever we see something we recognize, a brain wave
- suddenly rises up higher than it was
- suddenly falls down
- suddenly slows down
- suddenly shouts out
- suddenly disappears
- According to the author, .
- lies are always detected by the polygraph
- all physiological reactions indicate lying
- a liar will often pause, even if just for a moment
- observing the body movements can’t help to tell if a person is lying
- the briefest pauses of a person cannot be detected and measured
