Developed by Richard Berk, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, the software has already used in Baltimore and Philadelphia to predict which individuals on probation(缓刑) or parole(假释) are most likely to murder and to be murdered. “When a person goes on probation or parole he is supervised(监督) by an officer. The question is what level of supervision is appropriate?” said Berk. It used to be that parole officers used the persons criminal record, and their judgment to make decisions. “This research replaces those seat-of-the pants calculations,” he said. Technology helps determine level of supervision. On average there is one murder for every 100,000 people. Even among high-risk groups the murder rate is one in 100. Predicting such a rare event is very difficult, but advances in computer technology works. Years ago, the researchers made a dataset of more than 60,000 various crimes. Using the software they developed, they found some much more likely to commit murder when paroled or probated. They could identify eight future murderers out of 100. Berks software examines roughly two dozen variables(可变因素), from criminal record to geographic location. The type of crimes, and more importantly, the age at which that crime was committed, were two of the most predictive variables. “People assume that if someone murdered then they will murder in the future,” said Berk. “ What really matters is what that person did as a young individual. Predicting future crimes sounds well. But we arent anywhere near being able to do that.” “Berks scientific answer leaves policymakers with difficult questions. By labeling one group of people as high risk, and supervise them closely, there should be fewer murders, which the potential victims should be happy about. It also means that those high-risk individuals will be supervised more aggressively. For human rights advocates, that means punishing people who, most likely, will not commit a crime in the future,” said Bushway. “It comes down to a question of whether you would rather make these errors or those errors.”21. The underlined words(in Para.3) probably mean_. A. calculations based on subjective opinions B. calculations based on widespread voting C. calculations made by advanced technology D. calculations based on serious considering22. For 650 people with crime records, how many potential murderers would the software find? A. 6.5. B. 13. C. 52. D. 65.23. From Para 7, we can infer that_. A. the technology developed by Richard Berk will soon be widely used in the USB. the technology would not be widely accepted in the short termC. whether a person murders or not largely decided by his upbringing while youngD. if a person murdered when he was fifty, he is sure to murder again while on probation24. Bushways attitude to the technology put forward by Richard Berk is _.A. positive B. negative C. objective D. indifferent25. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Closely Supervise Potential Murders B. Measures Taken to Prevent Criminal BehaviorC. Technology Revolutionizes Judges Way of Working D. Software is Developed to Predict Criminal Behavior【参考答案】 (A) ACBCD 阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。Exploit your parking spaceAn unused parking space or garage can make money.

She has been counting every day while she waits for the products she ordered to arrive, as many deliveries have been delayed over the past month. “It took more than a week for one of my parcels to arrive from Beijing while, in the past, it took only four days,” said Yao. She is just one of the many who like shopping on Taobao. com, the countrys largest online shopping site, which has posted apologetic announcements to customers for the delays in deliveries. “Many parcels are still at the airport and cannot be delivered on time, but I think I will do my best.” Taobao clothes retailer (零售商) iM Shop said on its website. Meanwhile, major express delivery companies in China have put up notices saying they are ready to cope with the delay in recent days. “It was mainly caused by a big increase in online shopping orders because of discounts offered by e-commerce companies,” said Chen Shousong, an analyst with domestic research company Analysys International. Taobao Mall, the countrys largest business-to-customer shopping site by market share, for example, rolled out a large-scale discount on November 11 in which 150 brands sold their products at half price. The discount attracted the attention of many e-shopping enthusiasts who spent 936 million yuan ($142 million) in just one day. The recent shortage of diesel oil, which restricts delivery vehicles capacity, and bad weather conditions in North China, also added to an already overloaded express delivery market. Bottlenecks in delivery often appear before long holidays, such as the coming Christmas and New Year holidays and the Chinese traditional Spring Festival holiday. Delivery employees often quit their jobs at that time when faced with lots of work and low pay. 1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Waiting for the postman impatiently. B. Shopping on Taobao.com conveniently. C. Arguing with retailers online heatedly. D. Suffering from large-scale discounts. 2. Why were many deliveries delayed last month? A. The airport didnt perform their duty properly. B. Some customers didnt pay enough money. C. Sales volume in online shopping goes up rapidly. D. Delivery companies are short of vehicles. 3. What do you think of the Taobao retailers? A. They lack good faith and service. B. They are proudhearted and irresponsible. C. They are warmhearted and apologetic. D. They should improve their work greatly. 4. The underlined word “enthusiasts” has the same meaning with . A. retailers B. customers C. provider D. netbug5. What would be continued with the passage? A. To attract more new delivery employees. B. To call off the holiday for Spring Festival. C. To stop online shopping before holidays. D. To build E-commerce companies own delivery teams. 【参考答案】8.

Dad didnt care for insects much more than Mamma, but he could tolerate a few living in the basement. Mamma was a city girl and she said a cricket was just too noisy. Then to support her point she wouldnt go to bed. She drank coffee and smoked my fathers cigarettes and paced between the sofa and the TV. Next morning she threatened to pack up and leave, so Dad drove to the store and hurried back. He sprayed poison from a jug. When he was finished he told us that was the end of it. For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry. He suggested that wed all be better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma. I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didnt like because he scratched for no reason. However, soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom. Mamma was upset because she thought they were the dead crickets coming back, but Dad said these were certainly new ones. He fetched his jug of poison and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of poison, and then he sprayed the basement again. A couple of weeks later, when both live and dead crickets kept turning up, Dad emptied the basement of junk. Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests. While we ate supper that evening, the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile. The only gasoline was in the lawn mowers(割草机) fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the house. Once the roof caught, there wasnt much anyone could do. After the fire trucks left, Mamma took the others to Aunt Gails. I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things out of the house and pile them by the road. We worked into the night and we didnt talk much, while all around the noise of crickets broke our silence. 56. What do we know about the authors mother? A. She didnt like insects at all. B.
