Research by Scotland Yard published in a London newspaper, has proven that knife crime in London is a serious non – white phenomenon, with 165 of the 225 under- 18s accused of knife crime in the past three months being from the black or other non – white groups.

According to Scotland Yard, only 60 of the 225 crimes were white.Despite being a small minority of the knife holding criminals, whites did, however, make up the single largest group of victims of knife crime.

According to the Scotland Yard report, whites made up 222 of the 637 victims of knife crime over the last three months.This number could probably be higher, as 292 victims were not identified by race.

This month Scotland Yard Deputy Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson suggested knife crime has replaced drug selling as the top concern for London police.

Sir Paul said so as he announced a specialist knife crime unit to deal with teenagers carrying knives in the capital.It will use a team of 75 specialist officers to find criminal group members and their supporters.

Detective Inspector, George Rhoden, president of the National Organisation of Black Law Enforcement Executives said, “In the black community we have all noticed that there is major concern about gun and knife crime.Clearly we are not the only part of the community affected by the problem of children who have no fathers, but parental responsibility should be of major concern.”

Around 59 percent of black Caribbean children and 54 percent of mixed – race youngsters are looked after by a lone parent.In the white British population, the number is 22 percent.

From the above, we can see that       in knife crimes in London.

A.there are more whites than blacks as victims

B.there are more blacks than whites as victims

C.blacks make up the smallest group of criminals

D.blacks make up the second largest group of criminals

What Sir Paul Stephenson said suggests that     

A.drug selling has replaced knife crime as the top concern for London police

B.drug selling had been the top concern for London police in the past

C.knife crime used to be the top concern for London police

D.London police now pay no attention to drug selling

What measure has the government taken to deal with the problem of knife crime?

A.Punishing the parents of teenagers carrying knives.

B.Arresting the teenagers carrying knives.

C.Forming a specialist knife crime unit.

D.Fining the teenagers carrying knives.

According to George Rhoden, which of the following factors contributes to so many young blacks turning to crime?

A.That they are poorly educated.

B.That they are influenced by their fathers.

C.That many of them come from incomplete families.

D.That their parents are too busy to take care of them.

My mother is a geneticist, and from her I learned that despite our differences in size, shape and color, we humans are 99.9 percent the same. It is in our   36   to see differences: skin, hair and eye color, height, language. But also in our nature, way down in the DNA that   37  us human, we are almost the   38 .
I believe there is more that unites us than   39  us.
My mother came to the US from India. She is   40  enough that she got her service  41  in a diner in 1960s Dallas. My father is a white boy from Indiana whose   42  came from Germany in the mid-1800s.
It seems   43  to admit now, but I never   44  that my parents were different colors. One day, I watched my parents walk   45  the street of our church together. They were   46  in the service that day, and as they walked, I saw their hands   47  together in unison(一致地). I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was. I knew them as my parents   48  I realized their skin color. I'm sorry to say that now when I see a mixed-race    49  walking down the street, I see the "mixed race" first and the "couple" second.
When my parents married in 1966, there were   50  places in this country that had laws  51  mixed marriage.   52 , my white grandfather,   53  father had been a typical racist, was not against their marriage.
Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others   54 . Some right-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all  55 . But deep down inside us, down in our DNA, we are 99.9 percent the same. And I believe we need to remember that.

For generations here in the deepest South, there had been a great taboo(禁忌): publicly crossing the color line for love. Less than 45 years ago, marriage between blacks and whites was illegal, and it has been forbidden for much of the time since.
So when a great job about an hour’s drive north of the Gulf Coast attracted him, Jeffrey Norwood, a black college basketball coach, had reservations. He was in a serious relationship with a woman who was white and Asian.
“You’re thinking about a life in South Mississippi?” his father said in a skeptical voice, recalling days when a black man could face mortal(致命的) danger just being seen with a woman of another race, regardless of intentions. "Are you sure?"
But on visits to Hattiesburg, the younger Mr. Norwood said he liked what he saw: growing diversity. So he moved, married, and, with his wife, had a baby girl, who was counted on the last census(人口普查) as black, white and Asian. Taylor Rae Norwood, three, is one of thousands of mixed-race children who have made this state home to one of the nation's most rapidly expanding multiracial populations, up 70 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to new data from the Census Bureau.
In the first comprehensive accounting of multiracial Americans since statistics were first collected about them in 2000, reporting from the 2010 census, made public in recent days, shows that the nation’s mixed-race population is growing far more quickly than many researchers had estimated, particularly in the South and parts of the Midwest. That conclusion is based on the bureau’s analysis of 42 states; the data from the remaining eight states will be released soon.
In North Carolina, the mixed-race population doubled. In Georgia, it grew by more than 80 percent, and by nearly as much in Kentucky and Tennessee. In Indiana, Iowa and South Dakota, the multiracial population increased by about 70percent.
Census officials estimated the national multiracial growth rate was about 35 percent since2000 according to the known result, when seven million people ----- 2.4 percent of the population ------ chose more than one race.
【小题1】If a black man married a white woman 50 years ago, the worst result was that _____.

A.he was sentenced to deathB.he was considered to be immoral
C.he was criticized by the publicD.he was treated as a lawbreaker
【小题2】The underlined word “serious” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “____”.
A.stableB.badC.mixedD.dangerous
【小题3】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Jeffrey Norwood was born in Hattiesburg and grew up there.
B.Taylor Rae Norwood’s mother is a white-Asian.
C.70 percent of the people in Mississippi are multiracial.
D.Mississippi has the largest multiracial population in the US.
