Question

20．I'm afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting younger all the time，but unfortunately the crimes are becoming more serious．I only wish we didn't have to admit this but，in doing so，we must first ask ourselves what's wrong with our society，or else our children clearly couldn't care less about law and order．
The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples or a packet of sweets from a chain store are actually over．I had a chance to say this to a young offender the other day，"Sweets from a chain store？"He said，"You must be joking．That's what kids do．"I may add that he was aged 11．In other words，today's young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description．They've got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want，anyway．I think it's all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves．
Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of color，race or low learning ability，these children turn to crime as a means of showing off their self-respect．Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing （美化） the role of the criminal，they are quick to copy these anti-heroes．It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and government that the Children and Young Persons Act，1969，is becoming improper to deal with the rise in young criminals．Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and gentle treatment of their crimes，rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment，the children themselves know well that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to steal，damage and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize （恐嚇）．I don't like the look of this situation any more than you do．In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren，we cannot continue to take the"it's nothing to do with me"attitude we have used for so long．We must unite in a common demand for harder and stricter methods against these young criminals．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了現(xiàn)在的犯罪呈現(xiàn)年輕化，更可怕的是年輕人犯罪正趨于嚴(yán)重化，整個(gè)社會(huì)必須采取積極措施來避免這種現(xiàn)象的進(jìn)一步發(fā)展．

解答 66．答案 C 推斷判斷題．由第二段第一、二句"The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples or a packet of sweets from a chain store are actually over．I had a chance to say this to a young offender the other day…"可知，雖然現(xiàn)在的年輕人犯罪不再是從連鎖店里偷幾個(gè)蘋果或者一袋糖的事了，但是當(dāng)"我"看到這個(gè)罪犯如此年輕，因此認(rèn)為他可能只是偷了糖果才被抓．故正確答案為C．
67．答案  B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．文章Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of color，race or low learning ability，these children turn to crime as a means of showing off their self-respect． 他們的社會(huì)經(jīng)常由于膚色、種族或?qū)W業(yè)差等原因而排斥這些孩子，因此 些孩子就把犯罪視為提高他們自尊的手段，因此是正確答案B．
68．答案 A 細(xì)節(jié)題．由文章最后一句話"We must unite in a common demand for harder and stricter methods against these young criminals．"可知，作者認(rèn)為對(duì)于這些年輕的罪犯，應(yīng)該采取嚴(yán)厲的懲罰措施．故正確答案為A．
69．答案D 推斷判斷題．由第一段最后一句"I only wish we didn't have to admit this but，in doing so，we must first ask ourselves what's wrong with our society…"，第二段最后一句"I think it's all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves．"以及第三段首句"Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of color，race or low learning ability…"可以推知，作者認(rèn)為年輕人犯罪應(yīng)該歸咎于社會(huì)環(huán)境的影響．故正確答案為D

點(diǎn)評(píng) 首先，對(duì)原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意．因?yàn)殚喿x理解題一般沒有標(biāo)題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料．
  其次，細(xì)讀題材，各個(gè)擊破．掌握全文的大意之后，細(xì)細(xì)閱讀文章后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息．
  最后，要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時(shí)，要有較強(qiáng)的針對(duì)性．對(duì)于捕獲到的信息，要做認(rèn)真分析，仔細(xì)推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對(duì)題目要求，才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn)．
