题目内容

Having　decided　to　rent　a　flat，we＿＿contacting　all　the　accommodation　agencies　in　the　city。

A)set　about　        B)set　down　          C)set　out　     D)set　up

A


解析:

本句前边说“已经决定租房，我们联系房屋中介商……”这里需要填“开始”的意思。从动词后的4个介词来说，只有about有表示“将来”(beabout)的意思，所以A为正确答案。需顺便补充的是，set　about结构中，about是介词，因此它后面如果跟动词，需要用动词的－ing形式。

　　Wild, Wild West

　　Western States See Largest Increase in Murder, Rape Rates

By Bryan Robinson

　　NEWS. com

　　Dec. 16 - Violent crime overall is down nationwide but rising in the West, and experts believe a number of factors - a growing youth population, inmates being released from prison, and a decline in the economy - could be fueling (causing) the increase in that region.

　　The FBI reported today that its preliminary (初步的) statistics (统计数字) showed that crime in the first six months of 2002 nationwide was up 1.3 percent from the same period last year. The FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program found that crime dropped slightly (a little) in the Northeast and Midwest - 2.1 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively - but rose in the South and especially the West.

　　Overall crime rose 5.9 percent in the West, the FBI said. Crime was up in all Western states: Preliminary statistics showed that violent crime had risen 2.2 percent, with a 7.6 percent increase in murder.

　　To find out why certain communities have higher crime rates than others, Green said, officials have to look at their demographics (人口统计状况), which drugs are infiltrating (渗透) the area and which kind of crimes are on the rise.

　　In additon, experts said, the FBI's statistics do not mean that crime in an entire state may be on the rise. There may be certain “hot spots” for crime that are raising the crime rates.

　　“In Los Angeles, there are certain areas where the unemployment rate is 15 percent, compared to 6 percent of the rest of the country. You have idle (having nothing to do) young males - they're not going anywhere, they have nothing to do, nothing to lose,” said Mike Rustigan, professor of criminology at San Francisco State University.

　　“Idle, nothing to lose, and they have access to (have right to ) guns - that's a bad combination…You have a lot of gang (group) activity and payback - types of shootings.”

　　However, Rustigan stressed (emphasize) there is no one cause for rising crime rates. Every state, every city is different.

　　Children who suffer head trauma(创伤)call experience headaches months after the injury, with girls more likely to have them than boys, a new study finds．

　　The researchers also found that the risk of having these headaches was greater after a mild traumatic brain injury(TBI)than after a moderate or severe one．

　　The study, published online Dec．5 in the journal Pediatrics, included children aged 5 to 1 7 who were hospitalized with traumatic brain injury in King County in Washington State and one in Philadelphia．Three months after treatment, headaches were reported by 43 percent of children who'had a mild TBI, 37 percent of those who had a moderate to severe TBI, and 26 percent of children in a control group who'd suffered broken arms but no head trauma．

　　The researchers also assessed the children one year after they were hospitalized and didn't find any significant differences in headaches between the groups．

　　Teens and girls appear to have the highest risk for headache after mild TBI, and the course of recovery after such events is likely affected by age, injury severity and gender(性别), the researchers concluded．

　　The authors noted that more than half a million children in the United States suffer a TBI each year．

　　“Little research has focused on chronic(慢性的)headache post-TBI in children, ”Dr．Heidi Blume, of me Seattle Children'S Research Institute, said in锄institute news release(发布会)．“The common existence of headache following mild TBI appear to follow a pattern we see in primary headache disorders such as a migraine(偏头痛)．”

　　She said the research will examine similarities betwe．en TBI and migraine, including a look at whether“migraine treatment will work for post．traumatic headaches．”

　　In the meantime, ‘'what parents need to know is that some children with TBI may have headaches for several weeks or months after TBI, but that most recover with time, ”Blume said．“And significantly, girls and teenagers appear to be at particular risk for headaches after mild TBI．Parents should be aware of what to expect after mild TBI, and that includes TBI for sports．related injuries．”
