    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 ________.

[  ]

A.murder
B.summer crime
C.suicide
D.marriage

(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.

In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.C., the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.
At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said: "Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."
He added,“Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isn't it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?”
Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes (堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.
【小题1】 When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials _______.

A.were scared and at a loss what to do

D.were extremely frightened and decided to give up fighting back
【小题2】The underlined phrase“sue for”in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A.demand B.beg for C.search forD.negotiate for
【小题3】Su Dai used the example of“carrying faggots to put out a fire”to show _______.
A.the ambition of the State of Qin
B.the serious results of giving in
C.the loss of the land of the State of Wei
D.the trembling consequences of defense
【小题4】 The story is mainly developed by _______.
A.timeB.logicC.making comparisonD.cause and effect
【小题5】 The attitude of the writer towards Su Dai is _______.
A.approvalB.praiseC.neutralD.disapproval
