一、請將下列英文翻譯成中文： 
       The task of forensic investigation is perhaps akin to solving a picture puzzle. Initially, there are perhaps hundreds, or even thousands, of seemingly disjointed pieces piled in a heap. When examined individually and carefully, each piece may not provide much useful information. Methodically, the various pieces are sorted and patiently fitted together according to a logical connection. Slowly, an overall picture emerges in your mind. When a significant portion of the puzzle has been solved, it then is easier for you to see where the remaining pieces fit.
二、請將下列中文翻譯成英文： 
      縱火調查可以斷定易燃液體在火災現場的樣態。調查從現場採集 的破碎雜物上可以辨識出汽油、燃油和特殊溶劑。一般而言，調查無 法鑑定出特定的廠牌。調查員對於疑似縱火現場的下列物品必須加以 留意：蠟燭、香菸、火柴盒、汽油彈、融化的化學殘渣或是縱火犯可 能使用的任何一種電子或機械設備。
三、英文短篇寫作：請閱讀以下短文，並依指示寫作。文長必須在三百字以內。 
      Some scholars argue that criminal investigators do not need a high level of investigative skill, mainly because crimes of the future will be solved through scientists who will match DNA collected from crime scenes with DNA profiles of people held in custody whose details are stored on a huge database. This perspective may suggest that investigators will no longer be required to investigate; “science,” rather than investigative skill, will convict suspects. The advantages of this approach are huge: savings on staff and training and potentially a more scientifically and technologically consistent approach to crime investigation.       
      What is your response to the above-mentioned argument in favor of the scientific criminal investigation? Write a 300-word essay in English to elaborate on your response; examples from the criminal investigation in Taiwan are most welcome.
