[经典案例分析]
(2017·全国卷Ⅰ·B)I work with V olunteers for Wildlife，a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured，displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking；survival is never certain.However，when it works，it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground.When I arrived，I saw a 2­to 3­week­old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest，I might have been able to put it back，but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest，and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents，but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults；they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all！The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied
in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

[题材对点训练]
(2017·太原市模拟试题一)
Something Fun
A person is on trial for murder in a courtroom in Oklahoma. There is strong evidence indicating guilt. However, the body is not found.
In the defense's (辩护律师) closing statement, the lawyer, knowing that his client is guilty and that it looks like he'll probably be convicted, resorts to a clever trick.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury (陪审团), I have a surprise for you all，”the lawyer says as he looks at his watch. “Within one minute, the person assumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom，”he says and he looks towards the courtroom door. The jury, somewhat surprised, looks at the door eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens.
Finally the lawyer says，“Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all waited with expectation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict(裁决) of not guilty.”
The jury, clearly confused, retires to discuss.
A very few minutes later, the jury returns and a representative pronounces a verdict of guilty.
“ But how？”inquires the lawyer.“ You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at t he door.”
Answers the representative, “Oh, we did look. But your client didn't.”
