26、ce N. disadvantaged O. immune Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency (crimes committed by young people) focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. Theories 【 C1】 _ on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior because

27、they were not 【 C2】 _ penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through 【 C3】 _ with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in 【 C4】 _ to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status, or as a rejection of middl

28、e-class values. Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from 【 C5】 _ families, ignoring the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes for lack of adequate parental control. All theories, however, are tentative and are 【 C6】 _ to cri

29、ticism. Changes in the social structure may indirectly 【 C7】 _ juvenile crime rates. For example, changes in the economy that lead to fewer job opportunities for youth and rising unemployment in general make gainful employment increasingly difficult to obtain. The resulting discontent may in turn le

30、ad more youths into criminal behavior. Families have also 【 C8】 _ changes these years. More families consist of one-parent households or two working parents consequently, children are likely to have less supervision at home than was common in the traditional family structure. This lack of parental s

31、upervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates. Other identifiable causes of offensive acts include 【 C9】 _ or failure in school, the increased availability of drugs and alcohol, and the growing incidence of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend to increase the p

32、robability of a child committing a criminal act, 【 C10】 _ a direct causal relationship has not yet been established. 42 【 C1】 43 【 C2】 44 【 C3】 45 【 C4】 46 【 C5】 47 【 C6】 48 【 C7】 49 【 C8】 50 【 C9】 51 【 C10】 SECTION A In this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questio

33、ns. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. 51 (1)World War II initiated the concept of “total war“ war that involved all, civilians and military alike, in the war effort. This was not really new. Lazare Carnot had a

34、nticipated it during the French Revolution with his call for “a nation in arms“. But never before World War II had nation been required to draw so heavily upon the total human resources available to them. In each country, there was a propaganda effort to portray every person in the state as personal

35、ly involves in the struggle being waged. In the United States, “Rosie the Riveter“ was as much a part of the picture as “G. I. Joe“. The German “Rosies“ were not as likely as their American counterparts to be working as riveters, but from 1942 on, they and their children were to face terrors of war

36、as severe as those experienced by their front-line soldiers. Shivering from fear of being buried alive in the cellars that served as air-raid shelters, they had to emerge from those areas of modest security to extinguish the fire bombs that sizzled in the attics above before entire houses were incin

37、erated. Each explosive bomb that fell could mean life or death for each person who heard it coming, depending on where it fell and how big it was. (2)There is no rational way of rendering judgment on the moral aspects of the Allied bombing. It did, of course, kill Nazis and anti-Nazis alike; women a

38、nd children as well as men; prisoners of war and foreign workers as well as Germans; professors, artists, musicians, and farmers, as well as workers in munitions factories. And the mode of death, as will be seen, was often shocking and gruesome. But it is faulty to assume that without the bombing al

39、l those who perished would have survived and would have met death more peacefully. Land invasion would have meant the ravaging of cities by heavy artillery, tanks, and flame throwers, the desperate flight of thousands of civilians (which indeed occurred on Germanys eastern front), and the ultimate c

40、ollapse of all forces of order, with internecine fighting, famine, and disease as likely accompaniments. Neither can one assume that more churches, famous monuments, paintings, library books, and so forth would have survived. That those who stopped the bombs had pangs of guilt in respect to the suff

41、ering they caused and the cultural wealth they destroyed is a credit to their humanitarian sensitivities. But sentiments of revulsion are more appropriately directed at war itself, which inevitably brutalizes those involved, destroys normal sensitivities, and opens the way to rape, pillage, and want

42、 of destruction. A “clean“, “humane“ war is an impossibility. 52 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that “Rosie the Riveter“ was _. （ A） a picture used in the war propaganda （ B） the name of an American hero during the war （ C） a representative of women who were dragged into the war （ D） a

43、German-born worker who escaped to America during the war 53 According to the author, without the Allied bombing, _. （ A） more lives might have been saved （ B） people would have died of other disasters （ C） the Allied landing would have been out of the question （ D） many cultural objects would have s

44、urvived 54 The author concludes the passage by pointing out that _. （ A） there is no such a thing as humane war （ B） a total war is the cruelest thing in human history （ C） a war does no good either to the winner or to the loser （ D） it is impossible to wage a total war today 54 (1)Pageants (露天演出 )

45、are usually conceived on a fairly large scale, often under the auspices of some local or civic authority or at any rate in connection with local groups of some kind. This sometimes means that there is an allocation of funds available for the purpose of mounting the production, though unfortunately t

46、his will usually be found to be on the meagre side and much ingenuity will have to be used to stretch it so that all performers can be adequately clothed. (2)Most pageants have a historical flavor as they usually come about through the celebration of the anniversary of some event of historic importa

47、nce, or the life or death of some local worthy. Research among archives and books in the public library will probably prove very useful and produce some workable ideas which will give the production an especially local flavor. From the first economy will have to be practised because there are usuall

48、y a great number of people to dress. Leading characters can be considered individually in the same way as when designing for a play; but the main body of the performers will need to be planned in groups and the massed effect must be always borne in mind. (3)Many pageants take place in daylight in th

49、e open air. This is an entirely different problem from designing costumes which are going to be looked at under artificial lighting; for one thing, scenes viewed in the daylight are subject to many more distractions. No longer is everything around cut out by the surrounding darkness, but instead it is very easy to be aware of disturbing
