1.Of the many problems in the world today, none is as widespread, or as old, as crime. Crime has many forms, including crimes against property, person, and government. Crime, in all its forms, penetrates every layer of society and touches every human being. You may never have been robbed, but you suffer the increased cost of store- bought items because of others’shoplifting.Your house is not worth as much today as it was a few years ago because of the increased crime rate in your neighborhood. Perhaps your business is not doing as well as it used to because tourism is down due to increased terrorism in your part of the world.Crime, especially violent crime, has risen to a point where many people are afraid to walk al one in their own neighborhoods, afraid to open their door after dark, afraid to speak out and voice their own opinions. Some citizens have reacted by arming themselves with various weapons, legal and illegal, to defend themselves. Citizen groups have taken the law into their own hands by forming their own vigilante groups to administer judgment when they feel that their criminal justice system has not performed its duty.Experts argue whether the number of crimes committed is actually on the rise or whether there is simply a rise in the number of crimes reported. This issue is particularly true in cases of marriage violence, the abuse of spouse or children. Throughout much of history, cases of family violence and neglect often went unreported because of the attitude of society, which considered family matters to be private.Other experts argue about who is really to blame for criminal behavior. the individual or society. Researchers in the United States and Canada have identified several factors in society that contribute to the crime rate: massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and a large immigrant population. Other countries are more affected by factors such as politics, government corruption, and religion.(1)What does the passage mainly discuss?A、Crime the widespread problem.B、The results caused by increasing violent crime.C、Factors contributing to the crime rate.D、Citizen groups combating crimes.(2)The word shoplifting in line 4 is closest in meaning to _____________.A、the crime of lifting the banB、the crime of moving the shops awayC、the crime of robbing things from shopsD、the crime of stealing things from shops(3)Why does the author in Paragraph 2 mention citizen groups forming their own vigilante groups?A、To show the criminal justice system is not justB、To show citizens are powerful in combating crimesC、To show crime is a serious social problemD、To show citizens have rights in combating crimes(4)According to the passage, which of the following are the factors contributing to United States’criminal behavior?A、Politics, unemployment, poverty and a large immigrant population.B、Massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and a large immigrant population.C、Politics, government corruption, poverty and religion.D、Massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and government corruption.(5)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A、Since you have never been robbed, you are not a victim of crime.B、Some people use illegal weapons to defend themselves.C、Only the individual should be responsible for the criminal behavior.D、Family violence and neglect are considered family matters, and therefore private, so they are not crimes.

    资料:We all know that lack of sleep affects our memory along with other cognitive abilities. Sitting in the office sleep deprives it’s difficult to remember your own name, let along the ever-lengthening to-do list.
    But now new research shows that not getting enough sleep increases the chances your mind will actually create false memories. The study, published in Psychological Science, allowed one group of participants to get a full nights’ sleep while another had to stay up all night. In the morning they were given a series of photos that were supposed to show a crime being committed. Next, both groups were given some eyewitness statements about the crime. Like many witness statements in real-life crimes the details were different to those shown in the photographs. For example, in one instance the photo showed a thief putting a wallet in his jacket, but in the witness statement it said he put it in his pants(that's ‘trousers’ for British people not his underwear!). Afterwards they were asked what they had seen in the original photographs. The results showed that those who'd missed out on their sleep were the most likely to regurgitate the false eyewitness statements they'd just read rather than remembering the ‘true’ crime-scene photos they'd been shown moments beforehand. The lack of sleep had messed with their heads to the extent the all the evidence—right and wrong—had got mixed up.
    One of the study's authors, Kimberly Fenn, said:”People who repeatedly get low amounts of sleep every night could be more prone in the long run to develop these forms of memory distortion. It's not just a full night of sleep deprivation that puts them at risk. Indeed, a preliminary study they carried out found that getting just five hours sleep was enough to cause people to start manufacturing false memories.
