Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records show a surprising relation between changes in the season and crime patterns.
The pattern of crime has changed very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do other violent attacks. Murder, in addition, 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. One is most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. Except for one strange statistic, May is the least criminal month of all.
Apparently our intellectual season cycles are completely different from our criminal patterns. Professor Huntington made a lot of studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, and make the highest scores on examinations. In all examples, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington’s studies showed that June is the peak month for suicides and for admitting patients to mental hospital. June is also a peak month for marriages!
Possibly, high temperature and humidity bring on our strange and surprising summer actions, but police officers are not so sure. "There are, of course, no proof of a relation between humidity and murder", they say. "Why murder’s high time should come in the summer time we really don’t know".
Questions:
29. What is the passage mainly about?
30. Which is the safest season?
31. What did Professor Huntington’s research show?
选项
A、Few people get married in June.
B、Most people read serious books in summer.
C、More people have mental problems in June than in other months.
D、One is most likely to make the best performance on examinations in summer.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。文章讲到Professor Huntington调查人们读严肃小说、出席科技会议和考试得高分的季节,所有数据表明在春季和秋季是高峰,而夏季却是低谷,排除B,D;另外短文中听到June出现最多的地方提到了两个peak,他们分别是自杀和医院接收精神病患者数目最高峰以及结婚的高峰,由此可以排除A项。得出答案C。
