Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions:This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 Crime has its own cycles(周期) ,a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns. The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August as do other violent attacks. Murder, moreover is more than seasonal; it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime critne:62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m. Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, robbing has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. The month with least crimes of all? May-except for one strange fact. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year. Apparently our seasonal cycles of knowledge are completely different from our tendencies for crimes. Professor Huntington made extensive studies to discover the season, when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings and get highest results on examinations. In all cases, he found a spring high and an autumn high separated by a summer low. Possibly, high temperature and high humidity (温度)cause our strange and violent summer actions, but police officials are not sure. "There is, of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder," they say. "Why murder's high time should come in the summer time we really don't know."

本题同样是测试对细节的理解。正确答案为A),整篇文章讨论的就是犯罪方式与季节之间的关系。B)选项的意思是犯罪与一周的周期无关,而通过文章的第一段第五句话:“Muter,moreover, is more than seasonal:it is a weekend crime.”可以看出犯罪与每周的循环是有关系的。C)选项的意思是谋杀与炎热的天气有很必然的关系,文章中最后一段用了“Possibly”这个词,而且本段的第二句话“there is,of course,no proof of a connection between humidity and murder”也可以判断这些联系只是一些设想并没有得到科学的证实,所以C)选项太绝对。D)选项的意思是抢劫与谋杀之间有联系,这是文章中没有提到的。

A.People reading serious books.
B.People attending scientific meetings.
C.High results on examinations.

C
本题是主旨题。文章的第一句提到“Crime has its own cycles...”接下就围绕其进行分析,所以C)“Crime Cycles”是最准确的。
Task 2 Black people were first taken to North America as slaves in the seventeenth century. Sold by Arab or Mrican slave-traders in West Mrica, they were on the tobacco, sugar and cotton plantations. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, more and more people began to condemn (谴责) slavery, but it was not until after the bitter Civil war-between the Northern and Southern states of America that is was abolished there. In 1865 the 13th Amendment to the Constitution gave blacks the right to live and work where they liked. Then ,in 1867, came further legislation (立法)guaranteeing citizenship and other civil rights. However, there were setbacks almost immediately. The Supreme Court declared the civil rights legislation of 1867 unconstitutional and a number of new segregation (种族隔离)laws were enacted. Consequently ,as more and more blacks deserted the rural areas in search of work in the cities, they found themselves forced to .live in areas with the worst housing and poorest services. after World War Ⅱ, the climate was more favorable to improvement. Organizations pressed more vigorously for full equality. By 1950, blacks were entitled to education in the same schools and colleges as white. The Civil Rights Commission was formed. There massive demonstrations by both blacks and whites to try to force a solution to the problem. The Civil Rights Bill, Providing for equal opportunity, was passed in 1964. Nowadays, large numbers of the best-known entertainers and sportsmen or sportswomen in America are black. And black people are playing important role in American society.
