a. why people are influenced by celebrities. b. the harmful influence of celebrities. c. what kind of people are influenced by celebrities d. how to avoid the influence of celebrities.57 we can infer from paragraph 2 that _. a. media are on the side of stars b. stars know how to take advantage of media. c. media can give wrong information about stars d. media invade stars lives for their own good58. arianna joined the antonio banderas fan club to _. a. seek encouragement from the star b. be accepted by other teens c. become a real fan of the star d. learn more about the star59. the author of the passage probably believes that _. a. its easy for people to resist the influence of celebrities b. all young people are easily influenced by celebrities c. its no good for people to imitate celebrities blindly d. people can improve their personality by imitating their favorite starsbimagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. how fair will that be? well, it happens every day to high schoolers. just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like “shoplifters”. even though id never steal, store employees looked at me like im some kind of hardened criminal mastermind. for example, during one lunch period, my friend denny and i went to the grab “n” go on tuesday. we arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. a new sign in the window told the story:“ no more than two students at a time.” after 15 minutes, we finally got in. but the store manger laid the evil eye on us. i asked him about the new sign, and he said, “you kids are lifting too much stuff.” you kids? too much stuff? not only were we considered to be shoplifters, but brilliant, greedy shoplifters.the grab “n” go isnt an isolated case. earlier this year, a department store worker told me to leave my backpack at the front of the store. when i asked who was going to keep an eye on my stuff, she said, “dont worry. it isnt going anywhere.” in other words, i had to risk losing my stuff so that the store wouldnt have to risk losing theirs. “dont worry,” i replied, “i dont need to shop here.” the most annoying thing, though, is the way employees watch my friends and me. its almost strange and frightening. once, at a drug store, i went down an aisle and found a guy standing on a box, stocking the shelves. he was watching my hands, which were empty. he got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. how crazy is that? you know, this kind of prejudice can go both ways. i work at the cd crib, and every day i see adults commit a terrible crime. they put on a set of headphones and sort of dance to the music. talk about bad! tomorrow, im going to put a sign in the window: “ no more than two adults listnening to music at a time.” 60. “ shoplifters” ( paragraph 1) refers to _. a. the neighbor b. thieves c. employees d. store owners61. the manager of the grab “n” go thought that _. a. people might be angry about the lining up b. the shop might be over-crowded c. students might steal things d. kids should be accompanied by their parents62. what is the tone of the writer? a. angry b. sad c. pleased d. excited63. by saying “this kind of prejudice can go both ways”, the writer intends to _. a. put up a notice to prevent adults from committing a crime. b. encourage adults to listen to cds before they buy them. c. stop adults from talking bad things when in cd stores. d. accuse adults in the same way as they did towards the boys64. how does the writer develop his argument? a. by example b. by classification c. by comparison and contrast d. by cause and effectcalmost everyone accepts the fact that crime can never be wiped out entirely. thus control of crime becomes the focus of police and government around the world. the question lawmakers must answer is, “which system of criminal punishment works best for society?” each country has developed its own ideas for solution to this question, and these solutions then determine how criminals are punished under different systems. however, none of the current system in use has proved 100 percent effective. there are many ideas about punishment of criminals. some systems look only to get retribution（严惩）against criminals. these systems work to frighten criminals away from repeating a crime in the future. these systems also try to deter（威慑）others in society by using the criminal as an example of what can happen to a person if he or she is caught committing crimes. rehabilitation（改造）is another philosophy by which many systems of punishment operate. the goal of these systems is to return a former criminal to society after a required period of treatment and training, usually in prisons. the idea is to help change the persons behavior so that he or she becomes a law-abiding citizen.capital punishment is another form of punishment which systems use in extreme criminal cases, sometimes involving such crimes as a murder, rape, and violent theft. in these cases, the person is put to death. today, capital punishment is used in relatively few countries. many countries have done away with it. in other words, capital punishment remains only in officially law books but is rarely used. however, capital punishment remains in use in some countries including the united states. when looking at the number of crimes committed, the effectiveness of any of these forms of punishment comes into question. in the united states, for example, 80 percent of the people arrested each year are male, and the majority of these are young men or boys. one-third of all auto thefts, robberies, and burglaries are committed by young men under the age of 18. generally, young people have less responsibility in society, so they risk losing little if they are caught in a criminal activity. however, it can also be argued that todays youthful criminals do not fear the punishment they receive if caught by police. current methods of criminal punishment do not serve the purpose of deterring young criminals in the united states.a major problem with the current system of rehabilitation in the united stated is that most criminals return to crime after they have supposedly been rehabilitated. two-thirds of those caught by police each year are repeat criminals. as a result of this fact, many people feel that rehabilitation of criminals is a lost cause. since the late 1970s, many see retribution as a preferred punishment in criminal cases in the united states.65. what is the passage mainly about?a. capital punishment b. prison system c. young criminals d. control of crime66. what is the main purpose behind retribution?a. to satisfy the victim b. to create repeat offendersc. to frighten future criminals d. to take criminals out of society67. many crimes in the united states are committed by _.a. leaders b. teenagers c. factory workers d. street wanders68. according to the passage, which is true of the legal system in the united states?a. capital punishment is not allowed b. few young people commit crimesc. the majority of criminals will not repeat crimes d. many people see retribution as the preferred punishment69. what is a big problem with the system of rehabilitation ?a. prisons are full b. criminals repeat crimes c. the crime rate is going up d
