At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D ). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneMost American college students need to be efficient readers. This is necessary because full-time students probably have to read several hundred pages every week. They don't have time to read a chapter three or four times. They need to extract as much information as possible from the first or second reading.An extraordinarily important study skill is knowing how to mark a book. Students mark the main ideas and important details with a pen or pencil, yellow or blue or orange. Some students mark new vocabulary in a different color. Most students write questions or short notes in the margins. Marking a book is a useful skill, but it's important to do it right. First, read a chapter with one pen in your hand and others next to you on the desk. Second, read a whole paragraph before you mark anything. Don't mark too much. Usually you will mark about 10% of a passage. Third, decide on your own system for marking. For example, maybe you will mark main ideas in yellow, important details in blue and new words in orange. Maybe you will put question marks in the margin when you don't understand something and before an exam. Instead, you just need to review your marks and you can save a lot of time.16. What should American college students do to cope with their heavy reading assignments?17. What suggestion does the speaker give about marking a textbook?18. How should students prepare for an exam according to the speaker?Passage TwoThe thought of having no sleep for 24 hours or more isn't a pleasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each of us needs about 8 hours of sleep each day to keep us healthy and happy. Some people, however, can get by with just a few hours of sleep at night.It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But everyone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception to this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, henever slept!Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersy. They hoped to challenge the claim that he never slept. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were puzzled by the strange case of permanent sleeplessness. Herpin offered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never, it seems, having slept at all.19. What is taken for granted by most people?20. What do doctors think of Al Herpin's case?21. What could have accounted for Al Herpin's sleeplessness?Passage ThreeHetty Green was a very spoiled, only child. She was born in Massachusetts USA in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account. Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited 7.5 million dollars. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.Hetty’s meanness was well-known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son, Ned, fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg. When she died in 1916 she left her children 100 million dollars. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?25. What do we learn about Hetty's daughter?。

I thought if I could find out about kitchen things. They would be the best sorts of presents.W: Well. I suppose the first thing you need is a cooker. Do you want an electric one or a gas one?M: Em.

It is a job that certainly offers a chance for public service.M: It seems to me that it is a real honor for you.W: Yes, it is. But I have been with this bank for so many years ever since I graduated from college, in fact.M: But it is an honor for the bank, too, for the training and experience it’s given you. W: Yes, I suppose I can think of it that way.M: Then you’ve decided to accept the offer?W: Probably yes. Almost certainly, I’d like to think I can do some work that will contribute to international corporation and understanding.12-1512. What does the woman want to discuss with the man?13. Who offered the woman the new job?14. What will be the woman’s main responsibility as a deputy director?15. What does the man think of the job offer?Passage 1Good transportation is very important in winter. If you have a car, make sure it is ready for the cold weather. Keep the gas tank as nearly full as you can. This will keep water out of the tank and will be a reserve in case you get into trouble. If a storm traps you in your car, there are some steps you should take for your own safety. Do not attempt to walk to find help. You may quickly lose your way in blowing and drifting snow. Your chances of being found are better if you stay in your car. Keep a downwind window open slightly for fresh air. Freezing rain can seal off your car and lock you inside. Run the engine and heater once in a while. Keep the same downwind window open while the engine is running. Make sure that snow has not blocked the exhaust pipe. Clap your hands and move your arms and legs from time to time. Do not stay in one position too long. But, do not move too much. Exercise warms you up, but it also causes you to lose body heat. If more than one person is in the car, do not sleep at the same time. One person should always be awake. If you are alone, stay awake as long as you can. Turn on the inside light at night. This would make your car more visible to rescue crews. Don’t panic. Stay with your car.16-1816. What does the speaker say you should do in winter with your car?17. What should you avoid doing if a storm traps you in the car?18. Why is too much exercise undesirable when you are trapped in a car by a winter storm?Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is gift giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts. Right? So you may think that gift giving is a universal custom. But actually the rules of gift giving vary quite a lot. And not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. InNorth America the rules are fairly simple. If you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your country. Among friends and family and business associates, w e generally don’t give gifts on other occasions except on someone’s birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything: from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don’t usual ly change business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning. Today, we have seen some broad differences in gift giving. I couldn’t want with a dditional examples. But let’s not miss the main point here. If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities from miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learned about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.19-2119. What does the speaker say about gift giving of North Americans?20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift giving?21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage 3Claudette Rigo is a reporter for a French newspaper. Her assignment for the last five years has been Washington and American politics. She reports the current political news for her paper. In addition, she writes the column that is published every week. The column explains American politics to her readers in France. They often find it very difficult to understand the United States and the Americans. Claudette lives in a small house in a fashionable section of Washington. She entertains a great deal. Her guests are usually government official, diplomats, lawyers and other newspaper people. When she isn’t entertaining, she goes out to dinners and parties. In spite of her busy social life, Claudette works very hard. The parties are really work for her, because reporters frequently get new stories just by talking and listening to people. Claudette also has a small office in a building downtown. She goes there every morning to write up her stories and send them to Pairs. Her column is published every Monday, so she usually spends a large part of the weekend working on it at home. Claudette spends a month in France every year, so that she won’t forget how to spea k French. In spite of all her experience in Washington, Claudette may be transferred. This is the election year in the United States when the people elect a new president. When the election is over, Claudette thinks that her newspaper in Pairs may change her assignment.22-2522. What do we learn about the column Claudette writes?23. What does Claudette usually do on weekends?24. Why does Claudette spend a month in France every year?25. What might happen to Claudette after this year’s American presidential election?Section C DictationAccording to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he is considered innocent until the court proves the person is guilty. To arrest a person, the police have to be reasonably sure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then, the police take the suspect to the police station where the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed. The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run away, he can go free. Otherwise the suspect must put up bail. At this time too, the judge will appoint a court lawyer to defend the suspect if he can’t afford one. The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the district attorney’s office presents a case again st the suspect. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judge then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. The American Justice System is very complex, and sometimes operates slowly. However, every step is designed to protect the rights of the people. These individual rights are the foundation of the American government.。

I remember clearly that you put it on the dressing table.Q: What does the woman say about the camera?6. W: There is a good comedy on at the theatre Royal next Saturday. If you like,I can book four seats for us.M: All right. I’ ll ask Janet if she is free then. I’ ll let you know tomorrow.Q: What does the woman suggest they do next Saturday?7. W: We’ve opened the first box. Look! Some of these books are soaked.M: They should’ ve used waterproof wrappings. What are we going to do about it? It’s too late to order replacements.Q: What do we learn about the conversation?8. W: Professor Johnson said you can pick up your term paper at her office.M: So she has graded it?Q: What can we infer from the conversation?Long Conversation 1W: Can I help you?M:Well. I’ m not sure. I hope so. (9) You see, actually, I’m getting married soon. And my friends want to buy me presents and things.W: And would you like some things for the kitchen.M:Yes, that’s right. I thought if I could find out things about kitchen things.They would be the best sorts of presents.W: Well. I suppose the first thing you need is a cooker. Do you like an electron one or a gas one?M: Hm. I think I probably prefer a gas one. But cookers are very expensive.Aren’t they? How much is this one?W:It’s 175 pounds, including tax and delivery. It’s a very good one though. M: But It’s a lot of money, i sn’t it? What sorts of things could I ask people to buy? You know, cheaper.W: Well. You need some pans, w on’t you? A set of pans, I suppose, and drying pans. Do you like cooking?M: Yes. I suppose so.W: Well. (10) In that case, you might like a mixer. If you make cakes and things like that, i t’ll save you a lot of time. And a blender too. That’s good if you make soup and things.M: H m. That’s a thought.W: Something else you might use is a set of these knifes, you know, carving knifes, bread knifes, steak knifes, fruit knifes, potato peeling knifes.M: (11) Heavens! I never knew so many sorts.W:Oh, Yeah. Come over here and I’ll show you some more.Q9 Why is the man is in the kitchen ware shop?Q10 Why does the woman want to know whether the man likes cooking?Q11 What does the man say he has never realized?Long Conversation 2M: Good morning, Mrs. Thomson.W: Oh, Mr. Minesuka. Please come in and sit down. I want to talk to you about something that has come up.M: What's up? Anyway, I'll be glad to help you with anything I can.W: Some advice, Mr. Minesuka. (12) I've been offered a new job.M: A new job?W: As a matter of fact, it isn't the bank in New York.M: It's the offer from another bank?W: It's from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development in Washington.M: (13) You mean the World Bank?W: (13) That's right. And it's really very unexpected, I might say.M: You've established reputation in international banking circles. May I ask what kind of position they've offered you?W: A rather important one, as a matter of fact, deputy director of the International Finance Corporation.M: (14) Isn't that the part of the Bank that makes loans to private companies in the developing countries?W: (14) Yes, it is. It's a job that certainly offers a chance for public service.M: It seems to me that it's a real honor for you.W: Yes, it is. But I've been with this bank for so many years, ever since I graduated from college, in fact.M: (15) But it's an honor for the bank too, for the training and experience it's given you.W: Yes, I suppose I can think of it that way.M: Then you've decided to accept the offer?W: Probably, yes, almost certainly. I'd like to think I can do some work that will contribute to international corporation and understanding.Q12 What does the woman want to discuss with the man?Q13 Who offered the woman the new job?Q14 What will be the woman's main responsibility as a deputy director?Q15 What does the man think of the job offer?Passage 1Good transportation is very important in winter. (16) If you have a car, make sure it is ready for the cold weather. Keep the gas tank as nearly full as you can. This will keep water out of the tank and will be a reserve in case you get into trouble. (17) If a storm traps you in your car, there are some steps you should take for your own safety. Do not tend to walk to find help. You may quickly lose your way in blowing and drifting snow. Your chances of being found are better if you stay in your car. Keep a downwind window open slightly for fresh air. Freezing rain can seal off your car and lock you inside. Run the engine and heater once in a while. Keep the same downwind window open while the engine is running. Make sure that snow has not blocked the exhaust pipe. Clap your hands and move your arms and legs from time to time. Do not stay in one position too long. But, do not move too much. (18) Exercise warms you up, but it also causes you to lose body heat. If more than one person is in the car, do not sleep at the same time. One person should always be awake. If you are alone,stay awake as long as you can. Turn on the inside light at night. This would make your car more visible to rescue crews. Don’t panic. Stay with your car.Q16 What does the speaker say you should do in winter with your car?Q17 What should you avoid doing if a storm traps you in the car?Q18 Why is too much exercise undesirable when you are trapped in a car by a winter storm?Passage 2The topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom, but actually the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot. And not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America the rules are fairly simple. If you are invited to someone's home for dinner, bring wine or flowers, or a small item from your country. (19) Among friends, family and business associates, we generally don't give gifts on other occasions except on someone's birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. (20) There are many detailed rules for everything, from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don't generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning. Today, we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples, but let's not miss the main point here. (21) If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.Q19 What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?Q20 What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?Q21 What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage 3Claudette Rigo is a reporter for a French newspaper. Her assignment for the last five years has been Washington and American politics. She reports the current political news for her paper.In addition, she writes the column that is published every week. (22) The column explains American politics to her readers in France. They often find it very difficult to understand the United States and Americans. Claudette lives in a small house in a fashionable section of Washington. She entertains a great deal. Her guests are usually government officials, diplomats, lawyers and other newspaper people. When she isn't entertaining, she goes out to dinners and parties. In spite of her busy social life, Claudette works very hard. The parties are really work for her, because reporters frequently get news stories just by talking and listening to people. Claudette also has a small office in the building downtown. She goes there every morning to write up her stories and send them to Paris. (23) Her column is published every Monday, so she usually spends a large part of the weekend working on it at home. (24) Claudette spends a month in France every year, so that she won't forget how to speak French. In spite of all of her experience in Washington, Claudette may be transferred. This is an election year in the United States when the people elect a new president. (25) When the election is over, Claudette thinks that her newspaper in Pairs may change her assignment.Q22 What do we learn about the column Claudette writes?Q23 What does Claudette usually do on weekends?Q24 Why does Claudette spend a month in France every year?Q25 What might happen to Claudette after this year's American presidential election?Compound Dictation26. innocent 27. committed 28. charges29. released 30. rather than 31. appoint32. evidence 33. hold a trial 34. designed 35. foundation。

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D ). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneMost American college students need to be efficient readers. This is necessary because full-time students probably have to read several hundred pages every week. They don't have time to read a chapter three or four times. They need to extract as much information as possible from the first or second reading.An extraordinarily important study skill is knowing how to mark a book. Students mark the main ideas and important details with a pen or pencil, yellow or blue or orange. Some students mark new vocabulary in a different color. Most students write questions or short notes in the margins. Marking a book is a useful skill, but it's important to do it right. First, read a chapter with one pen in your hand and others next to you on the desk. Second, read a whole paragraph before you markanything. Don't mark too much. Usually you will mark about 10% of a passage. Third, decide on your own system for marking. For example, maybe you will mark main ideas in yellow, important details in blue and new words in orange. Maybe you will put question marks in the margin when you don't understand something and before an exam. Instead, you just need to review your marks and you can save a lot of time.16. What should American college students do to cope with their heavy reading assignments?17. What suggestion does the speaker give about marking a textbook?18. How should students prepare for an exam according to the speaker?Passage TwoThe thought of having no sleep for 24 hours or more isn't a pleasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each of us needs about 8 hours of sleep each day to keep us healthy and happy. Some people, however, can get by with just a few hours of sleep at night.It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But everyone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception to this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersy. They hoped to challenge the claim that he never slept. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were puzzled by the strange case of permanent sleeplessness. Herpin offered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never, it seems, having slept at all.19. What is taken for granted by most people?20. What do doctors think of Al Herpin's case?21. What could have accounted for Al Herpin's sleeplessness?Passage ThreeHetty Green was a very spoiled, only child. She was born in Massachusetts USA in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account. Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited 7.5 million dollars. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.Hetty’s meanness was well-known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son, Ned, fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg. When she died in 1916 she left her children 100 million dollars. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?25. What do we learn about Hetty's daughter?Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second language teachers, are those which are identical in form, but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Columbian who wants someone to approach him often signals with a hand movement, in which all the fingers of one hand cupped point downward as they move rapidly back and forth. Speakers ofEnglish have a similar gesture, though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely. But for them, the gesture means "goodbye" or "go away", quite the opposite of the Columbian gesture. Again in Columbia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he indicates height, he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is referring to a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand parallel to the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter. In Columbia, this gesture is reserved for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings, he should keep the palm of his hand at a right angle to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also embarrassing moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture physically, but its meaning differs sharply.1. B .Use a ladder to help her reach the tea.点评：事实细节题，主要听男士的意见Why don’t you use the ladder. strain v.表示拉伸，扭伤strain your shoulder 拉伤肩膀2. D.

Who offered the woman the new job?14. What will be the woman’s main responsibility as a deputy director?15. What does the man think of the job offer?Passage 1Good transportation is very important in winter. If you have a car, make sure it is ready for the cold weather. Keep the gas tank as nearly full as you can. This will keep water out of the tank and will be a reserve in case you get into trouble. If a storm traps you in your car, there are some steps you should take for your own safety. Do not attempt to walk to find help. You may quickly lose your way in blowing and drifting snow. Your chances of being found are better if you stay in your car. Keep a downwind window open slightly for fresh air. Freezing rain can seal off your car and lock you inside. Run the engine and heater once in a while. Keep the same downwind window open while the engine is running. Make sure that snow has not blocked the exhaust pipe. Clap your hands and move your arms and legs from time to time. Do not stay in one position too long. But, do not move too much. Exercise warms you up, but it also causes you to lose body heat. If more than one person is in the car, do not sleep at the same time. One person should always be awake. If you are alone, stay awake as long as you can. Turn on the inside light at night. This would make your car more visible to rescue crews. Don’t panic. Stay with your car.16-1816. What does the speaker say you should do in winter with your car?17. What should you avoid doing if a storm traps you in the car?18. Why is too much exercise undesirable when you are trapped in a car by a winter storm?Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is gift giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts. Right? So you may think that gift giving is a universal custom. But actually the rules of gift giving vary quite a lot. And not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. InNorth America the rules are fairly simple. If you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your country. Among friends and family and business associates, we generally don’t give gifts on other occasions except on someone’s birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything: from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don’t usually change business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning. Today, we have seen some broad differences in gift giving. I couldn’t want with additional examples. But let’s not miss the main point here. If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities from miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learned about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors. 19-2119. What does the speaker say about gift giving of North Americans?20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift giving?21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage 3Claudette Rigo is a reporter for a French newspaper. Her assignment for the last five years has been Washington and American politics. She reports the current political news for her paper. In addition, she writes the column that is published every week. The column explains American politics to her readers in France. They often find it very difficult to understand the United States and the Americans. Claudette lives in a small house in a fashionable section of Washington. She entertains a great deal. Her guests are usually government official, diplomats, lawyers and other newspaper people. When she isn’t entertaining, she goes out to dinners and parties. In spite of her busy social life, Claudette works very hard. The parties are really work for her, because reporters frequently get new stories just by talking and listening to people. Claudette also has a small office in a building downtown. She goes there every morning to write up her stories and send them to Pairs. Her column is published every Monday, so she usually spends a large part of the weekend working on it at home. Claudette spends a month in France every year, so that she won’t forget how to speak French. In spite of all her experience in Washington, Claudette may be transferred. This is the election year in the United States when the people elect a new president. When the election is over, Claudette thinks that her newspaper in Pairs may change her assignment.22-2522. What do we learn about the column Claudette writes?23. What does Claudette usually do on weekends?24. Why does Claudette spend a month in France every year?25. What might happen to Claudette after this year’s American presidential election? Section C Dictation According to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he is considered innocent until the court proves the person is guilty. To arrest a person, the police have to be reasonably sure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then, the police take the suspect to the police station where the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed. The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run away, he can go free. Otherwise the suspect must put up bail. At this time too, the judge will appoint a court lawyer to defend the suspect if he can’t afford one. The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the district attorney’s office presents a case against the suspect. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judge then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. The American Justice System is very complex, and sometimes operates slowly. However, every step is designed to protect the rights of the people. These individual rights are the foundation of the American government.。
