题目解答
答案
本题考察目击者证词不准确的原因。选项A中,展示相似面孔的照片会导致目击者难以区分真凶,可能引发误判,符合“inaccuracy”。选项B涉及主观偏见,非记忆不准确。选项C虽有一定影响,但非核心原因。选项D表示辨认成功,与题意不符。综上,最可能导致证词不准确的是选项A。
答案:A. The witness is shown photos of similar faces.
解析
本题考查目击者证词不准确的原因,核心在于理解记忆重构和误导性信息的影响。关键点在于识别哪些因素会导致目击者混淆信息或形成错误记忆。展示相似面孔的照片会干扰目击者的记忆提取,增加误判风险,而其他选项或涉及主观因素,或与题干无关。
选项分析
A. The witness is shown photos of similar faces
关键点:展示相似面孔的照片会触发记忆重构。目击者可能将相似特征与记忆中的罪犯混淆,导致错误识别。这是心理学中误导性反馈的典型例子,直接影响证词准确性。
B. The eyewitness is a close friend of the criminal
主观偏见可能影响证词的真实性,但题目问的是记忆不准确,而非故意作伪证。此选项涉及道德或情感因素,与记忆准确性无关。
C. There are a small number of suspects present
嫌疑人数量少可能降低辨认难度,但并非直接导致不准确。相反,若嫌疑人数量多,混淆风险更高。此选项对题干的关联性较弱。
D. The suspect in the photograph can be identified
若目击者能明确识别嫌疑人,通常表明记忆清晰,与“不准确”矛盾。此选项与题意相反。
