21、k A, B, C or D.（分数：40.00）_解析：“Poverty“, wrote Aristotle, “is the parent of crime.“ But was he right? Certainly, poverty and crime are【C1】_.

26、 incomes will not by itself address questions of bad behavior. Such conclusions will need to be【C19】_by others. If they are confirmed, the fact that they are【C20】_will be no excuse for ignoring them.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.opposedB.associated C.interdependentD.advanced解析：解析：根据首句的 Poverty is the

27、 parent of crime(贫穷是犯罪之母)，可推断贫穷与犯罪之间是相互关联的。本句开头的 Certainly 常用于强调所说内容属实或某事是具有积极语义的，下文也提及这种想法昕上去很合理。因此，此处对于主题中所提的贫穷与犯罪之间有着基本的关联是较为确定的，故选B 项 associated“有关联的”。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.misunderstandingsB.difficultiesC.misdeeds D.attainments解析：解析：此处需要一个名词，来表述低收入引发的后果。句中 the idea 与文中首句提及的“贫穷乃犯罪之母”呼应。因此，空格与 crime

28、“犯罪”具有相近含义，故选 C 项 misdeed“犯罪，罪行”。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.doubt B.responsibilityC.lightD.confidence解析：解析：上文均是对主题的肯定(Certainly，sounds plausible)，此处转折连词 But 的使用说明本句是否定的观点。A 项 doubt“怀疑”表示否定态度，cast doubt on 表示“对提出疑问”，符合语境。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.instrumentsB.instructionsC.fortunesD.drugs 解析：解析：句中 and 连接两个并列成分，与“暴力

29、犯罪”并列的应是犯罪的一种。因此应选 D 项，misuse of drugs 意为“吸毒”。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.dictionariesB.records C.manualsD.guidebooks解析：解析：此处需要一个名词对萨里艾斯兰所查阅的内容进行总结。根据下文的说明(由政府收集的，含有人们家庭年收人水平以及犯罪的等方面的信息)。我们可推断出这是一个记载有人们各种基本信息的 record“档案”，故选 B。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.lawsB.researchesC.convictions D.motives解析：解析：在下文对调查进行详细描述时，研究者分析

30、了受试者的犯罪情况(as likely to misbehave ascriminal behavior)。因此可推断，研究者们所依据的资料中包含相关的 criminal convictions“刑事定罪”的信息。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.arrestedB.sentencedC.interviewedD.tracked 解析：解析：此处需要一个动词表明萨里艾斯兰对调查对象(subjects)所做的事情。下文提及调查的开始时间并强调调查持续三年半。因此可推断出：萨里艾斯兰对调查对象进行了跟踪调查。故选 D 项tracked“追踪”。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.onward

31、s B.backwardsC.upwardsD.outwards解析：解析：上文提及在瑞典，承担刑事责任的起始年龄是 15 岁，因此，研究者进行有关犯罪的调查时所关注的年龄段应是 15 岁之后。故选 A 项 onwards“从以后”。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.fitnessB.affluence C.povertyD.influence解析：解析：此处需要一个名词表示相对年幼的孩子出生时的家境。上文提及的研究对象是由穷变富的家庭。相对于他们的兄姐，年幼的孩子出生的时候，家境应该是相对富裕的。因此，答案为与 rich 呼应的B 项 affluence“富裕”。(10).【C10】（分

32、数：2.00）A.relevantB.insignificantC.determining D.contributing解析：解析：上文提及生活在不同收入环境下的孩子们同样地可能会犯罪(as likely to misbehave as)，由此可推断出收入的不同并不是影响犯罪的最主要因素。故选表示“最主要的”的 C 项 determining“决定性的”。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.possibilities B.explanationsC.solutionsD.samples解析：解析：末段提及“如果这种结论真的被证实”，这暗示此处所提及的结论是没有经过证实的，即只是研究者提出

33、的一些“推测”。因此应选具有“未经证实的推测”语义的 A 项 possibilities“可能性”。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.confusingB.erasableC.unpredictableD.sticky 解析：解析：此处需要一个形容词对“家庭文化”进行描述。下文提及“孩子们身上的社区印记很难消除”，强调的是“家庭文化”影响的持久性或不易脱除性，故选 D 项 sticky“粘的”。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.thoughB.but C.unlessD.if解析：解析：上文的 you can take the kid out of the neighborho

34、od 与下文的 not the neighborhood out of the kid 具有相反的语义，故选表转折的 B 项 but“但是”。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.Given B.RespectingC.RegardingD.Including解析：解析：下文提及的“孩子喜欢效仿他们所崇拜的哥哥或姐姐”强调周围的人和环境对孩子们的影响它与上文提及的观点“孩子们身上的社区印记很难消除”吻合的。作者在对此观点进行判断时，是以“孩子喜欢效仿他们所崇拜的哥哥或姐姐”为评判依据的。故选具有“将纳入考虑”语义的 A 项given“考虑到”。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.ra

35、relyB.dulyC.perfectly D.irregularly解析：解析：that 指代上句提及的观点“孩子们身上的社区印记很难消除”。句中提及的信息“孩子喜欢效仿他们所崇拜的兄姊”与“孩子们身上的社区印记很难消除”均强调环境对人的影响。即：此信息能很好地印证上句的观点。故选表示积极语义倾向的 C 项，perfectly plausible“非常合理的”。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.topB.heartC.coreD.bottom 解析：解析：此处需要一个名词构成词组表示犯罪基因普遍存在的阶层。在 because 引导的原因状语从句中提及了“也许正是无法控制冲动降低了他们

36、赚钱的能力”。据此可推断出此处提及的是收入低的社会阶层。因此选 D 项，at the bottom of society 意为“下层社会”。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.economicB.social C.educationalD.political解析：解析：下文提及“仅仅人们的收入是不能解决犯罪问题的”，犯罪问题属于社会问题。因此，这些改革者应属于 social reformers“社会改革者”，故选 B 项。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.topping up B.cutting downC.leveling offD.using up解析：解析：上文提及“生活在

37、富裕环境下的孩子们同样地可能会犯罪”，可推断仅仅是收入的改善也不能解决犯罪的问题，故选 A 项 top up“提高”。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.conductedB.dispersedC.tested D.marked解析：解析：下文提及的“如果它们被证实了”提示我们这些结论没有经过证实，还需要别人来检验证明。故选 C 项 test“检验”。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.complementaryB.proficientC.mischievousD.uncomfortable 解析：解析：根据上文的“这两个结论都不受社会改革者的待见”，可推断这两种结论给人的感觉都是

Many psychological studies conducted over the past two decades【C1】_Westerners have a more individualistic, analytic and abstract【C2】_life than do East Asians. Several hypotheses have been put

39、 forward to【C3】_this. One, that modernization promotes individualism, falls at the first obstacle: Japan, an ultra-modem country whose people have【C4】_a collective outlook. A second, that a higher prevalence of【C5】_disease in a place makes contact with【C6】_more dangerous, and causes groups to turn i

45、doubtedB.retained C.discardedD.considered解析：解析：上文提及第一种假说：现代化发展促进了个人主义。但在解释时提及这种假说遇到了障碍：日本。可推断，日本的情况与这种假说情况不符。即日本的人生观应是与“个人主义”相反的“保持了集体主义的观念”，故选 B 项 retain“保留”。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.minorB.inheritedC.chronicD.infectious 解析：解析：下文在欧洲与亚洲进行比较时提及 plagues(瘟疫)，plagues 是一种传染病，因此，第二种假说中提及的病应是具有传染性的，故选 D 项 infect
