  GOING BACK AND GETTING IT RIGHT

  By almost every measure, Paul Pfingst is an unsentimental prosecutor. Last week the San Diego County district attorney said he fully intends to try suspect Charles Andrew Williams, 15, as an adult for the Santana High School shootings. Even before the tragedy, Pfingst had stood behind the controversial California law that mandates treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults.

  So nobody would have wagered that Pfingst would also be the first D.A. in the U.S. to launch his very own Innocence Project. Yet last June, Pfingst told his attorneys to go back over old murder and rape convictions and see if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools. In other words, he wanted to revisit past victories--this time playing for the other team. "I think people misunderstand being conservative for being biased," says Pfingst. "I consider myself a pragmatic guy, and I have no interest in putting innocent people in jail."

  Around the U.S., flabbergasted defense attorneys and their jailed clients cheered his move. Among prosecutors, however, there was an awkward pause. After all, each DNA test costs as much as $5,000. Then there's the unspoken risk: if dozens of innocents turn up, the D.A. will have indicted his shop.

  But nine months later, no budgets have been busted or prosecutors ousted. Only the rare case merits review. Pfingst's team considers convictions before 1993, when the city started routine DNA testing. They discard cases if the defendant has been released. Of the 560 remaining files, they have re-examined 200, looking for cases with biological evidence and defendants who still claim innocence.

  They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man serving 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the victim's shirt--too small a sample to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day. Inspired by San Diego, 10 other counties in the U.S. are starting DNA audits.

  難句突破

  1.Even before the tragedy, Pfingst had stood behind the controversial California law that mandates treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults.

  主體句式:…Pfingst had stood behind …

  結(jié)構(gòu)分析:Even before the tragedy是本句的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ);主句是Pfingst had stood behind…;that 引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句修飾law;在從句中,as…as是一詞組,意思是“和…一樣”;出現(xiàn)的第三個(gè)as是介詞,意思是“作為”。

  句子譯文:甚至在這場(chǎng)悲劇發(fā)生之前芬斯特就支持加利福尼亞州的一項(xiàng)頗有爭(zhēng)議的法律。這項(xiàng)法律規(guī)定,以成人身份受審的謀殺嫌疑犯的最低年齡可以降到十四歲。

  題目分析

  1.答案為C,屬事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文中對(duì)應(yīng)信息“Pfingst told his attorneys to go back over old murder and rape convictions and see if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools.”是對(duì)第二段第一句的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明。

  2.答案為A,屬推理判斷題。從上下文我們可以得知,實(shí)施“清白計(jì)劃”就是使用先進(jìn)的DNA技術(shù)來(lái)重新審理過(guò)去的案件當(dāng)中可能存在的冤案錯(cuò)案。

  3.答案為D, 屬猜詞題。從第二段第一句話我們得知芬斯特可能是美國(guó)第一個(gè)實(shí)施非常獨(dú)特的“清白計(jì)劃”的人,因此他的做法很可能是令人感到吃驚的,從而可猜出該詞的含義。

  4.答案為B,屬推理判斷題。從第一段和第二段給出的事例我們可以看出,芬斯特不愿放過(guò)任何一個(gè)犯罪的人,即便他的年齡還不算大;他也不愿使無(wú)辜者蒙冤,即便案件已經(jīng)審理。

  5.答案為C,屬推理判斷題。正因?yàn)?“Pfingst’s move works well”,美國(guó)才又有“ten other counties are starting DNA audits”,而且,“no budgets have been busted or prosecutors ousted”.
