给下面的文章配上小标题；

80. ________ Crime 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.

81. _______The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, and so do other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, 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.

82. ________Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary(盗窃) 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? May -- except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.

83. ________ Apparently our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings and make the highest scores on examinations. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides(自杀) and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!

84. _________ Possibly, high temperature 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."

A.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Patter of murder

第II卷 (共45分)

　(D)　　

　　 Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations , broken up by long ‘dark ages’ in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.

　　 However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted . Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred ? The next thousand? The next million ? That’s much more difficult.

　　 When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of.

　　 So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.

　　 Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.

　　 Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.

　　 Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.

　　 On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

　　 Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers (阴沟) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

72.　　 Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that　 goes before the passage?

A.　　　 It is extremely important to develop tourism.

B.　　　 Building roads and hotels is essential.

C.　　　 Support facilities are highly necessary.

D.　　 Planning is of great importance to tourism.

73.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ___________.

A.　　　　 a bad impact on other industries

B.　　　　 a change of tourists’ customs

C.　　　　 overcrowdedness of places of interest

D.　　　 pressure on traffic

74. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will __________.

A.　　　　 use up a large amount of water

B.　　　　 weaken their economy

C.　　　　 help establish their traditions

D.　　　 help improve their life

75. The word handle in the last paragraph most probably means “__________”.

　　 A. carry away　　 B. pick up　　　　 C. get in　　　　 D. take down

(B)　

　　 Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.

　　 If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.

　　 Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can not recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.

　　 It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.

68. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?

A.　　　 They encouraged people to work a longer time.

B.　　　 They discouraged people from thinking freely.

C.　　　 They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.

D.　　 They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improving new ideas.

69．Creativity is something __________.

A.　　　 that people are born with

B.　　　 that depends on intelligence

C.　　　 that is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems

D.　　 that is not important at all

70. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?

A.　　　 Try to help them as much as possible.

B.　　　 Take no notice of whatever they do.

C.　　　 Help them if their decision is wrong but not too much.

D.　　 Leave them as they are.

71. This passage mainly deals with the question of __________.

A.　　　 what is the key to a brighter future

B.　　　 what creativity is

C.　　　 how schools and parents can encourage creativity in children

D.　　 whether schools and parents should allow children to make choices and decisions
