[单项选择]An examination of corruption provides the basis for rejecting the view that an exact science of society can ever be constructed. As with all other social phenomena that involve deliberate secrecy, it is intrinsically impossible to measure corruption, and this is not merely due to the fact that social science has not yet reached its goal, achievable to be sure, of developing adequate quantifying techniques. If people were ready to answer questions about their embezzlements and bribes, it would mean that these practices had acquired the character of legitimate, taxable activities and had ceased to be corrupt. In other words, corruption must disappear if it is to be measurable.
Which one of the following most accurately states a hidden assumption that the author must make in order to advance the argument above
A. Some people believe that an exact science of society can be constructed.
B. The primary purpose of an exact science is to quantify and measure phenomena.

D. An exact science of social phenomena that involve deliberate secrecy cannot be constructed.
E. (E) An exact science can be constructed only when the phenomena it studies can be measured.

[单项选择]Indians’ anger over rising corruption has reached feverish levels. What people are calling a "season of seams" includes the alleged theft of billions by officials behind last year’s Commonwealth games in Delhi; $ 40 billion in revenues lost from the crooked sale of 2G telecoms licences; and over $ 40 billion stolen in Uttar Pradesh alone from schemes subsidising food and fuel for the poor.

Graft is hardly new in India: the Bofors scandal brought down the government in 1989. But there seems to be more of it about than ever, if only because India is getting richer fast, and the faster the economy grows, the more chances arise for mind-boggling theft. The government says that in the next five year plan period, which starts next year, $1 trillion will be spent on roads, railways, ports and

[单项选择]Police corruption is a complex phenomenon, which does not readily submit to simple analysis. It is a problem that has and will continue to affect us all, whether we are civilians or law enforcement officers. Since its beginnings, many aspects of policing have changed; however, one aspect that has remained relatively unchanged is the existence of corruption. An examination of a local newspaper or any police-related publication on any given day will have an article about a police officer that got busted committing some kind of corrupt act.
Corruption within police departments falls into two basic categories, which are external corruption and internal corruption: external corruption that concerns police contacts with the public, and internal corruption, which involves the relationships among policemen within the work of the police department. The external corruption generally consists of one or more of the following activities: 1) Payoffs to police by essentially non-criminal eleme
A. Payoffs to police for repeatedly violating traffic laws.
B. Bribery for being let go after caught for committing corruption.
