听力原文：Crime has its own cycles，a magazine reported some years ago. Police records show

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．

听力原文：A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable fi

听力原文： A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business and fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features as well, from editorial pages 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 them, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next.

A good modern 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, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But the 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 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 without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

(4)

A．Wide coverage of events.

B．Quick speed of production.

C．Immediacy of reporting.

D．Focus on local events.

听力原文：Copenhagen has been the capital of Denmark for 600 years and is also the largest

听力原文： Copenhagen has been the capital of Denmark for 600 years and is also the largest city in Scandinavia. Copenhagen means "merchants' harbor." It grew in size and importance because of its position, the body of water between Denmark and Sweden, guarding the entrance to the Baltic. From its humble beginnings, Copenhagen has become the largest city in Scandinavia. It's the seat of one of the oldest kingdoms in the world. Over the centuries Copenhagen has suffered more than its share of disasters. In the 17th century the Swedes repeatedly besieged it, and in the 18th century it endured the plague and two devastating fires. The British attacked twice during the Napoleonic wars in the early 1800s. Its last major disaster occurred in 1940 when the Nazis invaded Denmark and held it in their grip until 1945 when the British army moved in again, this time as liberators. Copenhagen still retains some of the characteristics of a village. If you forget the suburbs, you can cover most of the central belt on foot, making it a great place to visit.

(26)

A．In the 17th century.

B．In 1940.

C．In the early 1800s.

D．In 1945.

听力原文： During the past decade, there has been a rapid increase in violent crimes throughout the work. Not only has there been a frightening increase of murders, but also chances of being attacked and robbed have grown. Many old people avoid leaving their apartments.

The exact cause of this horrifying development has not been found. Some researchers think that the growth of crime on TV is related to the growth of violence on streets. Others blame the constant threat of complete destruction from nuclear explosions. If the world is going to be blown up, why not enjoy yourself fully!

Regardless of the cause or causes, a fundamental change in attitude among people is easy to see. Years back, the old saying "Practice what you preach" was a popular one. People had moral standards they could follow: concern about their fellow human beings.

Today people have become "l-centered". They are more interested in pursuing immediate and selfish pleasures. The best advice they can give is "Do what I say, not what I do." They are saying, "There are moral principles to follow if you want to, but don't use me as a guide since I no longer follow them."

(30)

A．Population.

B．Wars.

C．Nuclear explosions.

D．Violence in crime.

听力原文：Crime is a serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which particularly worri

听力原文： Crime is a serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which particularly worries people is [29] juvenile delinquency—that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years, juvenile delinquency has been increasing. There are two main sorts of juvenile crime, stealing and violence. Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. There are, I think, a large number of different reasons.

These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Young people often dislike and resent the adult world. [30] They will do things to show that they are rebels. Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like.

There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people in Britain live in large towns. [30] In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everybody knows everyone else.

Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something wrong with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people do not agree that this influences young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow up in. I feel that [31] the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.

(30)

A．Crimes committed by young people.

B．Crimes committed by needy people.

C．Influence on young people.

D．Stealing and violence.
