  • 第15题：

    In spite of all stories of prosperity in the Unites States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at an alarming rate. Most acts of violence were committed by young people.57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age.
    Everyone agrees that crime is partly a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education, living within a settled home, being parent less, sufferings from other kinds of misfortune, etc.
    There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate. In the first place, some state laws provide a death penalty but some not. Secondly, the Constitution allows every citizen to carry weapons for his own protection. It is therefore possible and easy for anyone in the country to get a gun. Finally, there has been too much shown on TV and too much reported in newspaper of all kinds of crime, the details of which are so accurately described that even children know how to duplicate what they have seen or read. All these have resulted in a high frequency of crimes committed both by professional criminals and
    by nonprofessional ones in murder, drug smuggling, robbery, etc.

    A. Punishment

    A

    projections

    B

    revelations

    C

    demonstrations

    D

    正确答案： B
    解析：
    screenings出现在第一段首句。文章开头首先介绍到据历史记载第一部有声电影是1927年的The jazz Singer，但有声电影并非经过数年的silent screenings之后突然出现。可推测silent screenings应该指的是无声电影。screening意为“放映，播放”，而projection也有“放映”的意思，因此答案为A项。

    finished

    B

    interested

    C

    cleared

    D

    正确答案： B
    解析：
    词义推测题。文章第三段提到“a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed”，由此可知，是这些国家水被污染，因此喝配方奶粉长大的孩子比母乳喂养的孩子在出生后的前六个月更容易夭折。因此选择D选项。finish完成，结束。interest使……感兴趣。clear清除，使干净。意思均不符合。
