19、(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、BPassage 1/B(总题数：1，分数：4.00)A smart man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a policeman , I have some urgent things to say to good people.Days after days my men and I struggle to stop a tidal wave of crime. Something h

20、as gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A principle ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.Accountability isn t hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liab

21、le for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together honesty, kindness, and so on accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law and, ultimately, no society.My job as a policeman is to impose accountability on people who

22、 refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Luckly there are still communities smaller towns, usually where schools keep discipl

23、ine and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: “In this family certain things are not tolerated they simply are not done!“Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his propert

24、y; he takes what he wants, including your life if you make him very angry.The main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, its the criminal who is considered victimized: by hi

25、s underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn t teach him to read, by the church that failed to teach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn t provide a stable home.I don t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. I

26、f we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.We desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.（分数：4.00）(1).What the wise man said suggests

27、 that A. it s unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evil. B. its certain that evil will prevail if good men do nothing about it. C. its only natural for virtue to defeat evil.

28、on is found guilty of a crime A. society is to be held responsible. B. modern civilization is responsible for it. C. the criminal himself should bear the blame. D. the standards of living should be improved. （分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(3).Compared with those small towns, people in large cities have A. less se

29、lf-discipline. B. better sense of discipline. C. more mutual respect. D. less effective government. （分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(4).The writer is sorry to have noticed that A. people in large cities tend to excuse criminals. B. people in small towns still stick to old discipline and standards. C. todays societ

30、y lacks sympathy for people in difficulty. D. people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged in criminal activities. （分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(5).The key point of the passage is that A. stricter discipline should be maintained in schools and families. B. more good examples should be set for people to fol

31、low. C. more restrictions should be imposed on people s behavior. D. more people should accept the value of accountability. （分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.九、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)In the 1960s the West Coast became an important center for rock music.

43、ists, and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or insightful.

44、n a thing has been said so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence my Writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collection of flies in amber.“ Close observation and concentration on details are the methods of her poetry.Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, n
