Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago.Police records that were

studied for five years from over 2400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.

The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years.Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks.Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime.It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m.and 6 a.m.

Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary(夜盗) has a different cycle.You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m.and 2 a.m.on a Saturday night in December, January, or February.The most uncriminal month of all? May —except for one strange statistic.More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.

Apparently our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies.Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious book, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents (专利).In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low.On the other hand, Professor Huntington’s studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals.June is also a peak month for marriages!

6.Which of the following is the best title for this article?()

A.A Time for Murder

B.Summer Crime

C.Crime Cycles Throughout the Year

D.Criminal Tendencies in Different Months

7.According to Paragraph 2, a murder would most likely occur ____.

A.on a weekend night in winter

B.on a weekday afternoon in summer

C.on a weekend morning in winter

D.on a weekday night in summer

8.In which of the following months are crimes least seen?()

A.April

B.May

C.June

D.October

9.In Paragraph 4, why is an exclamation mark (感叹号“!”) used at the end of the last sentence?()

A.Because the author is surprised that so many people marry in June.

B.Because the author is surprised that the marriage peak occurs in the same month as the peak for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals.

C.Because the author doesn’t understand why the peaks for suicides and marriage are in the same month.

D.Because the author lays emphasis on this sentence.

10.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?()

A.Prof.Huntington found seasonal crime cycles.

B.Spring and autumn are intellectual seasons when people work efficiently.

C.June is the peak month for suicides.

D.Spring and autumn are crime peaks.

听力原文: Crime has its own cycles,a magazine reported some years ago. Police records show a surprising relation between changes in the season and crime patterns.

The pattern of crime has changed very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August,as do other violent attacks. Murder,in addition,is more than seasonal;it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 P. m. and 6 a. m. One is most likely to be robbed between 6 P. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December,January,or February. Except for one strange statistic,May is the least criminal month of all.

Apparently our intellectual season cycles are completely different from our criminal patterns. Professor Huntington made a lot of studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books,attend scientific meetings,and make the highest scores on examinations. In all examples,he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand,Professor Huntington's studies showed that June is the peak month for suicides and for admitting patients to mental hospital. June is also a peak month for marriages!

Possibly,high temperature and humidity bring on our strange and surprising summer actions,but police officers are not so sure. “There are,of course,no proof of a relation between humidity and murder”,they say. “Why murder's high time should come in the summer time we really don't know”.

(30)

A.Different kinds of crimes。

B.Increasingly high crime rate in the U.S.

C.Seasonal changes in the natural environment.

D.The relations between changes in the season and crime patterns.

A good modem newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for wh
at it con rains :the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modem newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的)value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper, For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them with out missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self - awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

听力原文:It's generally agreed that serious, violent crime has reached alarming laroportio

听力原文: It's generally agreed that serious, violent crime has reached alarming laroportions in the United States. A survey by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration found that 61% of all women feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods at night; that 45 % of the population is afraid to walk alone at night near their own homes; and that 47% own guns, large for self-protection.

Those arrested for crimes and disproportionately likely to be male, young, a member of a racial minority, and a city resident. Males are arrested about four times as often as females. Only in juvenile runaway cases and prostitution are females more often arrested. One is the sex role stereotyping which encourages males to be more aggressive and daring, while females are encouraged to be more passive and conforming to the rules and norms. The second reason is the tendency of police officers and the courts to deal more kindly with female offenders. However, it should be noted, in the past decade, crime among females has been increasing at much faster rate than among males, a negative side effect which has been attributed to women challenging the traditional sex role of passivity and conformity.

Young people appear to commit far more than their share of crime, including the crimes that are classified by the FBI as most serious-rape, murder, robbery, arson, burglary, aggravated assault, auto theft. In 1985, 31% of all arrests were of person under the age of 21, and 50% of all arrests were of persons under 25.

A.For hunting.

B.For protecting himself.

C.For stimulation.

D.For protecting the country.

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A.There are almost 2,00
0 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain.The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world.Disting uished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country.However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper.The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.

Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensati onal”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events.But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.

Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions.A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子)groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate.Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture.

As in other democratic countries American newspapers ca n be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻)or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair.The newspapers dr ew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.
