Crime (罪行) has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2 400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.
The pattern (模式) of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high point during July and August, as do rape (强奸案) and other violent (猛烈的) attacks. Murder, besides, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.
Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary (抢劫) 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 most uncriminal month of all is May except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.
Obviously our intellectual (智力的) seasonal cycles are completely different from out criminal tendencies (倾向). Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made careful studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores in examinations, and propose the most changes to patents (专利). In all instances, he found a spring peak (高峰) and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies show that June is the peak month for suicides (自杀) and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!
Possibly, high temperatures and high humidity (湿度) bring on our strange and terrifying 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 summertime we really don't know.”
(1) The main idea of paragraph 1 is ________.
[ ]
A.there is a link between changes in the seasons and crime patterns.
B.crime is not linked to the changes in season.
C.2400 towns were studied for five years.
D. the crime patterns have no connections with summer.
(2) The subject of paragraph 2 is ________.
[ ]
(3) In Paragraph 3 what is the one strange statistic (数据) of May?
[ ]
A.There are more robberies in May.
B.There are more dog bites in May.
C.There is the most crime in May.
D.There are most marriages in May.
(4) In paragraph 4, a graph for our intellectual cycles might look like this:
W = winter Sp = spring Su = summer A = autumn (见P93上图)
(5) The information in paragraph 5 says: ________.
[ ]
A.There may be a connection between murder and hot weather.
B.There is surely a connection between murder and hot weather.
C.There is no connection between murder and hot weather.
D.There must be a connection between cold weather and murder.

科目:高中英语 来源: 题型:阅读理解
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are getting more and more stressed and we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But learning to live with a certain amount of stress is of great significance while relaxation is completely necessary for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand(经受住)depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties.
When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make a choice between “fight ” and “flight” and in more primitive days, the choice made the difference between life and death. The crises(危机)we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have formed links with stress.
Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it to keep our mind and body healthy.
64. What does the author mainly want to tell us in this passage?
A. Relaxation is necessary for our health.
B. We should get rid of stress in a proper way.
C. We should learn to live with a certain amount of stress.
D. Long lasting stress usually leads to serious diseases.
65. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means that .
A. even a little stress causes us to make a choice between life and death
B. we must answer whether we should remove the stress no matter how small it is
C. we react both chemically and physically though we are under slight pressure
D. the stress is not big but it can lead to serious heart disease or high blood pressure
66. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
|
CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
