It is much easier for us to find any book that we need with the help of the search engine. It seems that the Internet can hold much more books than a big library.But I should say that I love the Internet and love the library as well. Only because I can enjoy the atmosphere of the library. And book-reading can give me a different taste and a better experience. So I will still go to the library after we have the global Internet.。

And the hands-on knowledge they have learned from the project will greatly do good to their future work.Ⅲ．Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Generally speaking, most people are frightened of making public speech. Losing face is the greatest 50 and failing to appeal to the audience comes a close second. Most people have plenty of insecurities, and public speaking seems like a situation that will bring all the 51 feelings out. Some people are always expected of highly and they will be under pressure to be ___52 .Then they may still feel unsatisfied with their performance although the general public have already been 53 by their speech.While lively people will feel less fear, it does not mean they will 54 do the job better. On the contrary, in many cases some very shy people do manage to present 55 speeches. In fact, 56 is not what mainly decides whether you do well at a public speech. Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself Doing public speaking as actual acting, performing the lines of a character other than yourself, does not make you succeed. While politicians may limit damage by having carefully prepared, acting again and again 57 , there is always a hidden 58 among the audience that they might not be correct.Likewise, many speeches of great speakers in history are far from 59. The audience may on the spot be persuaded by them while afterwards they even can’t r emember what they have heard and have a feeling of being 60 .Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Diana’s funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and to 61 naturally, prepared speeches rarely 62 in public. But, only being yourself doesn’t help get rid of all the fears either. If you spoke as if you were in your own kitchen, it would be to 63 . The distance between the speaker and the audience would be too short to strengthen the need for normal communication and information exchange, which are the main 64 of a public speech.50. A. concern B. preference C. resistance D. sorrow51. A. eager B. unsafe C. special D. usual52. A reasonable B anxious C. perfect D. critical53. A. preserved B. impressed C. worried D. prevented54.

A. in advance B. in reality C. in control D. in result58. A. awareness B. mystery C. research D. fear59. A. beneficial B. clear C. responsible D. successful60. A. forgotten B. fooled C. encouraged D. determined61. A. act B. cry C. guide D. communication62. A. make mistakes B. work wonders C. lose face D. create troubles63.

She did everything first: read, cycle, play the piano and all. And when I was very little, everything Isabel did, I follow suit. Then finally one day I got old enough to say NO and I did. Realizing my disobey, Isabel gradually grew angry at me and sometimes treated me unfairly. However, for most, time, I ignored her bad attitude. Although sometimes she was a pain in the neck, she was still my darling sister.The real change in our- relationship came when she was 12 and I was 10. That summer, she wanted to go away to the Music Camp for the summer: As a good violinist, I agreed to go with her. For that trip, I played more violin than I thought was possible. But that was not the memory that stands out most about the Camp.One day, we were in a cafeteria for lunch. I got a piece of fried Chicken on my plate, but I was full. So I asked if Isabel would like it. She nodded, so I put the chicken on her plate. At that time, a group of people came in. When they saw us, they happily greeted us and surrounded me excitedly telling me that they had heard me playing the violin in the Camp and how they liked my performance. I saw Isabel’s face change colour and I knew that as a proud girl the situation bothered her. But there's nothing I could do about it.When they left, suddenly Isabel cried "I am sick of your fried chicken" and without my realizing it, she picked up the chicken and threw it at me. It hit me right on the face and everyone stopped to look. The cafeteria fell silent and I was heartbroken for the first time in my life.Soon Isabel got so good at the violin that she went to the Royal School. And I would never follow. But she remained Mum’s ruler. All my future achievements were measured up against her. Mum thought that what Isabel did would encourage me. But after the event at the Summer Camp, I would never follow her suit anymore.65. What does the underlined phrase “a pain in the neck” probably mean?A. An annoying person.B. A person who is ill.C. A changeable person.D. A talented person.66. Isabel threw the chicken at the writer probably because .A. the chicken slipped out of her handB. She had enough chicken and didn’t want any moreC. she was angry at the writer's popularity in the CampD. they were born enemies67. The writer's mother probably _____ _______A. knows that the two sisters hate each otherB. thinks that the two sisters should learn from IsabelC. gets the stationery, from IsabelD. thinks that the writer is more talented in violin than Isabel68 The purpose of the passage is for the writer to _ ____ .A. memorize the valuable childhood with IsabelB. tell the reason for her change of feelings toward IsabelC. show her love for her familyD. explain why Isabel turned angry toward her(B)The card worth paying for THE SHOPIt is a membership card that is offered by THE SHOP Shopping Mall.

But will the film become reality some day? Studies suggest conscious dreams where the dreamer controls the actions are on the rapid rise.In the film "Inception", Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page walk through a dream world where they, are able to bend streets into the sky, walk up walls and destroy a cafe by the force of will.While a conscious dream may not be as dramatic, the process is similar. People having a conscious dream, know they are dreaming and may in person direct the action. Alternatively, they may simply 'watch' the dream go-on.The sense of consciousness makes it different from a dream that is simply extremely vivid and true to life. And while the fact may seem strange, many people are familiar with such dreams.Studies suggest that, the number of people in the Western world experiencing the occasional conscious dream has risen by 40 percent since the 1980s. Today, they are so common that about one in eight of people used to have one in their live. However, little is known about what causes the riseResearch carried out by Harvard University showed the brain to be hard at work during conscious dreams. In fact, the level of mental activity in some, parts' of the brain was similar to that of an awake person.Conscious dreamers seem to share certain personalities. For instance, they are creative but also troublesome and believe in personal responsibility rather than letting society carry the can.Although up till now little has been known about the physical cause of conscious dreams, scientists generally believe it provides dreamers with an exit for pressure or satisfies dreamers with an outlook of thirst. In a conscious dream, the dreamer is rarely fired by his company or fails his marriage. Instead, more than 20% of the dreamers win a lottery in a conscious dream. More than 31% of the males marry a movie star and 26% of the women gain charming faces and slim figures. In this sense the conscious dream is somewhat like a daydream.72. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT likely to happen to a conscious dreamer?A. The dreamer is aware of the fact of dreaming.B. The dreamer guides the process of the dream.C. The dreamer observes the dream happen.D. The dreamer changes the dream of another dreamer at will.73. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The difference between a vivid dream and a conscious dream lies in the dreamer's awareness.B. Less than 10% of the people used to have a conscious dream.C. Compared with an awake person, the mind of a conscious dreamer is less active.D. Most conscious dreamers would like the society to take the duty.74. According to most scientists, the conscious dream usuallyA. helps the dreamer relieve stressB. predicts what will happen in the real life.C. aids in treating illnessD. offers a chance to eat delicious food75. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Inception- a Movie to Come TrueB. The Difference between a Conscious Dream and a Real DreamC. How to Marry a Movie Star in a Conscious DreamsD. Studies about Conscious DreamsSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph．There is oneA. Potential development of Type-talk.B. The commercial benefit of Type-talk.C. The invention of the Type-talkD. The introduction of Type-talkE. People Type-talk can assistF. Famous people that Type-talk used to help76.Throat cancer victims who lost their voice-boxes in life-saving surgery will in future be able to communicate in their own voices with the help of a compact disc "Type-talk" will allow patients to pre-record a 16,000 word vocabulary stored digitally. By typing into a computer keyboard, the sound of their actual, voices can be reproduced instead of the Dalek-like monotone which characterises present voice-box techniques.77.It is in such tragic cases as that of the late actor Jock Hawkins, left speechless by Larynx cancer, that the greatest benefits will occur. The brilliant professor Stephen Hawking could have been helped by Type-talk to create a speech pattern to match his character. As one developer introduced, reproduction is amazingly clear and correct. It will return respect to many people who have been sentenced to a sad silent hell.78.The system is to be launched in the New Year by the Welsh CD company, Nimbus. Hard-ware compatible for use with home computers will cost .around $300. And given the potential huge market and already hot concern over the new product, the system is sure to bring in huge profits for the company.79.Like so many discoveries, the system was developed by accident. Scientists working on a classical music sampler disc 10 months ago realized the hidden potential of digital recording, which could bring wonderful help in restoring the voices which were likely to be lost forever.80.Though the system can be functioning well now, there's still room for future development, In the future, the Type-talk vocabulary can be enlarged by the phonetic recognition of sounds in words. Instead of recording thousands of words now, customers are expected to just record a few vowel and consonants and leave the system to do the rest.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The man-made block that once kept men and women-apart on America's college campuses soon will disappear, atGeorge Washington University, which this week announced that students can share rooms with anyone they want-regardless of gender and age. The new policy abruptly broke the old tradition although in the past decades few students would protest against the University arranging roommates for them.The proposal first aired last winter caused concerns from some conservative students who argued it could create additional housing costs. However, compared with the seemingly subtle protest from the students, parents' reactions were nothing but plain and irresistible. They were worried that, if no school guidance was provided, kids might be sharing rooms with “wrong” guys.But most students appeared to accept the change, saying that it is more likely for students to get along with their roommates if these roommates are chosen by themselves rather than are assigned by University. Students claim that who to share the dormitory with, is a serious concern to them, only second to the selection of courses. In contrast and to many people's surprise, they rarely pay much attention to the location of their dorms.The push for changing, housing policies began after a small group of male and female students moved in together at an on-campus town house they called Escaping Gender. When that proved successful, the University began to consider the possibility of the new dormitory policy.According to the new policy, students should fill out a form naming four possible roommates at their will. And the University will then arrange the rooms according to the forms. Students who ask for a randomly assigned roommate will continue to-be matched with someone arranged by the university. The program applies to all the students except first-year freshmen as it’s meaningless for them to decide who to share a room with, whe n they don't know any of their potential classmates.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than TWELVE WORDS!)81. What was the old dormitory policy at the University?82. The complaint(s) about the new policy might be83 The biggest concern for the students at University is84 Why are first-year students not included in the project?TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.冬天，许多学生喜欢在室内打篮球。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AHelen Thayer is to celebrate her 60th birthday in a special way. She is bound for a three- month, 1,500- mile solo hike across Antarctica.In the Antarctica, where temperatures can drop to 40 degrees below zero, she plans to walk at least 12 hours a day, with about five minutes of rest every hour. Anything longer will make her body temperature drop too much. Anything too tiring will make her sweat and freeze. She spent two years getting in shape for this venture, with a workout plan that included 10-mile runs, 20-mile hikes and hours of weight training each week. Thayer also put in a daily hour pulling a pack loaded with concrete, to train her for the pack－full of carefully weighed items－she’ll carry across Antarctica.Every little thing counts. The handle of her toothbrush has been cut off to make it lighter. Her wedding ring is in her left jacket pocket keeping her link with husband Bill－because it could freeze on her finger and cut off circulation.For three months, only her journal will keep her company. No music, no books. “There’s going to be plenty to keep me occupied and boredom will not be a factor,” she said with a smile. “I make this plan mainly for the sake of my kids－through what I can gather through my camera lens and my notes for them. I want them to learn how to set goals, plan for success and be the best they can.”65.

In the movie” Into the Wild”, the “good” life is probably ______.A. adventurous and dangerousB. steady and promisingC. risky and excitingD. poor and depressingCIt is the custom in America to give women special treatment. Although there was a time when they were denied the right to vote and their proper place was considered to be in the home, they were always looked upon as the "fair sex." A man's job was seen as that of the breadwinner and a woman's position was that of the homemaker. Along with this subordinate role came certain rights and benefits. A woman was and still is given special treatments in various social situations and treated with respect. A woman justly earns this respect if she is both a caring mother and a faithful wife.In the past it was the gentleman's job to be her protector. Even today a man with good manner will politely open the door for a lady, help her with her coat and accompany her to the door of her home after a date. On a crowded train or bus, it is altogether proper for a man to offer a woman his seat especially if she is elderly or pregnant.Even when it comes to shaking hands, ladies come first. It is considered impolite for a man to extend his hand to a woman for a handshake upon first greeting. If a woman does not extend her hand to the man first, then the man should avoid offering his. In this sense the woman's choice comes first.There is no doubt that the Women's Liberation Movement has put women on an equal footing with men with respect to jobs and career opportunities. There can also be no denying that many women today prefer to be treated the same as men in every way. Yet, in spite of their new freedom and social equality, none of them seem to object to the rule of "Ladies first."72. The underlined word “subordinate” in the first paragraph probably means ______.A. combinedB. superiorC. inferiorD. honored73. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Women are given special treatments in many social occasions.B. Americans give due respect to caring mothers.C. It’s good manner of a man to offer his seat to a pregnant woman on a bus.D. Seeking equal positions with man, many women enjoy the rule of “Gentlemen first.”74. According to the passage, in which action is “Ladies first.” NOT probably found? ______A. To pay for a dinner bill.B. To shake hands on first greeting.C. To take a seat on a crowded train.D. To enter a building.75. What has been one of the achievements of the Women’s Liberation Movement in the United States? ______A. Women make more money than men.B. Men don’t have the right to vote.C. Women have an equal chance to get a job.D. Women become the breadwinner.DWhen it first appeared fifty years ago, TV was expected to make extraordinary contributions to education and culture. Radio, of course, could already reach almost everyone in developed countries, providing entertainment and news as well as some educational programs. Everybody in a particular area was able to listen to the same program at the same time, and this strengthened people’s sense of community. It also brought about the wider use of a standard form of the language. TV, it was thought, would have all these beneficial results, but to a much greater degree, since viewers would not only hear but also see what was happening.There is no doubt that these expectations have to a great extent been fulfilled. People are better informed than ever before about events in the furthest corners of the earth, and even beyond. TV hasbrought increased comfort to people unable to leave their beds, to the lonely and to the old. It is suggested that it may have strengthened family ties, as families stay at home to watch their favorite programs. Nevertheless, in a number of ways the effects of TV have been a source of disappointment and even of concern to those who had expected so much of it.The main problem has been its effects on kids. Some American scientists claim that in the United States TV has produced a generation who have become slaves to TV. Others say that the fact that an average American teenager sees about 15,000 deaths on TV before he or she becomes an adult has led to increased violence in real life. The violence seen on TV, they believe, is particularly dangerous because the harm it does to viewers is not always immediately obvious. Similarly, teachers complain that children have less interest in reading and their reading ability has declined, because watching so much TV discourages children from using their own imaginations.76. Listening to the same program at the same time makes people feel that ______A.they are members of a big group of peopleB.they are the same as othersC.the world is too big for people to know each otherD.it’s boring to share information with others77. What is NOT mentioned as one of the advantages of TV? ______.A. To inform people of eventsB. To help to sell more new productsC. To make family members closer to each otherD. To bring comfort to the elderly78. The main problem TV brings is that ______.A. too many commercials on TV waste viewers’ money on useless productsB. violence on TV has a negative effect on kidsC. adults spend too much time watching TV so they have no time left for workD. TV encourages people to form negative concepts about wealth and beauty79. The passage mainly tells us about ______.A. the comparison between radio and TVB. the benefits and disadvantages TV bringsC. the history of TVD. the correct way to watch TV（E）Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.(本题答案涂在答题卡上，请勿做在试卷上)80. Flu(which is short for influenza) is a highly infectious disease, the cause of which is a very tiny organism known as a virus. Several types of flu are recognized, depending on the type of virus that causes the disease.81. Flu can often cause problems in breathing, and general infection of the lung. With elderly and weak people, these added complications often produce serious results. The virus, if not properly treated, can weaken the body so that patient may develop more serious illnesses, such as pneumonia (肺炎) and bronchitis (支气管炎).When people catch flu, they often complain of a headache or a sore throat. They usually have a fever and their temperature rises from the normal 37C (98.6F) to about 39.5C (103F). Sometimes a person has a dry hacking (猛烈地干咳) cough and aching joints.82. Today many doctors use drugs that fight the disease. And scientists have also developed vaccines (疫苗) that help to prevent it. If the patient has proper treatment, and complete rest in bed, the virus is normally beaten within a week to ten days.83. How does flu spread so quickly? When the infected person breathes out, sneezes or coughs, he gives out droplets (飞沫) of moisture in the breath from his mouth or nose. These remain in the air for some time. Flu viruses are present in these droplets. If a person sneezes in a crowd or poorly ventilated place, such as a lift, viruses can easily be carried from an infected person to a healthy person. This is known as droplet infection. The healthy person will breathe in the viruses given out by the infected person.84. There are three main types of virus that cause flu, which are called type A, B and C. type A is the most powerful of the three, and undergoes minor changes in its genetic material every few years. The new form of the virus is called a strain (菌株). The new strain is not affected by the current vaccines. It is said to be “ resistant” to them. So doctors must be continually producing new vaccines to combat the new strains of virus.Part C：Longer Conversation:Directions: In part C, you will hear two longer conversations.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)It was a cold night in Washington, D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs: "Don't give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers." So I shook my head and kept walking.I wasn't prepared for a reply, but with no hesitation, he followed me and said, "I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!" But I kept on walking.The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn’t been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being.Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him.I tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you're not supposed to give money to beggars.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean'sPlant a row for Bean's. It’s clean and simple.We didn't keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. It’s food for the spirit and comfort for my conscience.In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association ofAmerica(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention.As more and more people participated, new variations cropped up. Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program. Donations poured in. It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty.66. The underlined word “swindlers” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. policemenB. writersC. cheatersD. beggars67. Why did the author think he assumed the worst of a fellow human being?A. Because he didn’t show fair respect to a beggar treating him badly.B. Because he could have helped a hungry man but he passed by.C. Because he believed that no people begged because of real hunger.D. Because he thought that charity work was the government’s duty.68. How did the author make up for what he had done?A. He set up a local kitchen to help the poor.B. He planted a row of vegetables for charity.C. He called on people to donate money to the Bean’s.D. He initiated the idea of Plant a row for Bean’s.69. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The beggar gave up the first time he was turned down bythe author.B. The author invented the program inspired by the Anchorage Daily News.C. GWAA expanded the program concept and made it nationwidein 1995.D. The program was later taken over by some seeding companies.(B)Our magazine is presenting to you the top five i-phone(the best seller of Apple Company) applications for more fun on hiking(徒步旅行) or camping trips recommended by our A-list field hikers and travellers.1.– Get un-lost (for $10)What it does:Download before you leave or use your phone’sdata connection to view maps from Google (satellite, landscape, cycling, and street), or Bing (shaded relief, street, or image).Record your movements, drop notes or photo makers onpreviously–downloaded Google Earth.– Perfect the view (for free!)What it does:Make interactive 360x360 panoramas(全景) to your own taste.

World Weatherlink.D. Space Exploration.(C)Is growth good for biodiversity(生物多样性) To answer the question, it is critical to define what we mean by growth. Is growth gross domestic product (GDP), the "monetary value of all the finished goods within a country's borders"Or does it mean improving the human standard of livingToday, when people say growth, they mean GDP, a measurethat is over 70 years old. Actually GDP demonstrates negative implications for biodiversity, as this "growth" measures only money inflows while far more important is the balance sheet, which shows properties and debts. As biodiversity delivers no cash, it has no place in GDP system, but biodiversity provides the asset side of the balance sheet, such as forests, rivers, wetlands and animals—the list goes on.It is argued that growth is good for biodiversity in the long run as there is an environmental Kuznets curve where environmental conditions get worse in the early stages of modern economic growth, but improve once a growth level hasbeen reached. According to some people, once GDP has been high, more resources are to invest in conservation, and new technologies are used to protect the nature. They said people would have more interest in protecting the environment, and some of the forests started to return and many pollutants were almost eliminated. Standing in America today it might appear that the environmental Kuznets curve works.At first sight there appears to be a logic. Today the US GDP is increasing while many precious species populations are also recoveringSuch conditions, according to some people, can be explained by greater efficiency in cars or more efficient agricultural production. But in fact, the majority of the negative impacts have simply been exported. The high-polluting industries have been outsourced to developing nations. Therefore the bitterest punishments are largely felt beyond the borders while we Americans are enjoying high GDP and selfish biodiversity at the same time. This can be seen in the WWF annual Report, where species population trends are increasing by 7% in high-income countries and declining in middle- and low-income countries by 31% and 60% respectively.It is self-evident that growth, as currently defined, has a major negative impact upon biodiversity. What needs to changeis the definition of growth from a GDP-essential concept to a balance-sheet approach. Organisations and world community should work on creating new vision or reform that will help ensure a real balance between an improving standard of human life and a thriving biodiverse landscape.74. According to the passage, the author’s opinion toward GDP is that GDP______.A. has nothing to do with biodiversity as it serves as an economic rulerB. shouldn't have ignored biodiversity as it does good to balance sheetC. is out-dated as it leaves out productions outside a country’s bordersD. is a useful economic indicator as it honestly follows the Kuznets curve75. The environmental Kuznets curve is seemingly working because ______.A. when US economy is strong, people have more interest in environment protectionB. high GDP helps to introduce high technology for environment protectionC. great fuel efficiency in cars and agriculture helps to protect environmentD. the US makes other weak nations take the harmful consequences76. The author’s main opinion about growth-biodiversity is that ______.A. there’s no clear relationship between growth and biodiversityB. growth harms biodiversity with today’s GDP-centred systemC. biodiversity condition agrees with a country’s economic growthD. the author is not sure about the exact influence of growth on biodiversity77. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passageA. GDP focuses on balance sheet rather than monetary increase.B. Within borders, America is enjoying a better biodiversity right now.C. Many low-income nations are having a higher GDP growth than the U.S.D. Creative ways have been found to balance life standard and biodiversity.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.In recent years in America, the mandatory sentencing(强制判刑)movement has really changed the US prison size. The mandatorysentencing movement typically stated the minimum number ofprison years for certain crimes people committed. It swept theUnited States in the 1970s, driving the state prison populationup from less than 200,000 to about 1.4 million today and madeprisoning budgets the second-fastest-growing state expense,only second to Medic-aid. But the current sentencing reforms ina growing number of states are starting to reverse that trend— causing the prison population to decline by about 3.8percent since 2009.Central to the state reforms is a relatively new and more complicated way of information analysis about the law-breaker — including criminal history, drug abuse(滥用) and instances of anti-social behavior — to assess the likelihood of that individual’s committing a new crime. And by examining data, the states can revise policies to discourage them from going back to prison.Many states have found that many people go back to prison not for committing new crimes but for technical mild violations （违反）, like failing drug tests or abnormal behaviors due to mental problems. With that knowledge, these states have moved to less costly and more effective actions to replace jail stay. Today, they tend more to send these people for community service.Some states are also jumping at what is known as the “justice reinvestment” approach, under which they channel significant sums of money into the existing programs on drug treatment and mental health, two main issues behind crimes for many law-breakers.Despite the advantages of a risk-assessment approach, some states are still flying blind mainly because they don’t have the resources to gather data. Moreover, a study has noted,handling high-risk and low-risk criminals in the same way is a big mistake, as “low risk individuals have an increased likelihood of committing crimes again when they receive treatment or services in the same programs as medium- and high-risk individuals.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. The mandatory sentencing movement had greatly increased prison population through ______.79. What is the essential content of today’s sentencing reforms?80. What is many state s’ softer punishment for minor offences?81. Risk-assessment method is not adopted by all the states primarily because of ______.II卷（共47分）I.
