First,policedepartmentshavetosortthemselvesout:rootoutcorruption,streamlinetheirbureaucracy,andmakemorecontactwiththepublic.Second,theyhavetoadoptacomputersystemcalledComstatwhichhelpsthemtoanalyzestatisticsofallmajorcrimes.Theseareconstantlykeyedintothecomputer,whichthendisplayswhereandwhentheyhaveoccurredonacolor-codedmap,enablingthepolicetomonitorcrimetrendsastheyhappenandtospothigh-crimeareas.InNewYork,Comstat'sstatisticalmapsareanalyzedeachweekatameetingofthecity'spolicechiefandprecinctcaptains.

MessrsMapleandLinder("specialistsincrime-reductionservices")havenodoubtthattheirsystemisamaincontributortothedropincrime.WhentheyintroduceditinNewOrleansinJanuary1997,violentcrimedroppedby22%inayear;whentheymerelystartedworkinginformallywiththepolicedepartmentinNewark,NewJersey,violentcrimefellby13%.Policedepartmentsarenowlininguptopayasmuchas$50,000amonthforthesetwomentoputthemstraight.

16.proportionproportion解析：此處意為很大比例的學(xué)生仍然喜歡簡(jiǎn)單的工作，所以此處應(yīng)填“proportion”。

17.happinesshappiness解析：根據(jù)上下文，日本年輕人更看重追求個(gè)人的幸福。所以此處應(yīng)填“happiness”。

18.complycomply解析：此處句意為“他們會(huì)很懊惱的服從”，表示服從，遵從的短語是complywith。所以此處應(yīng)填“comply”。

19.outout解析：handout意為“分發(fā)，施舍”，為固定短語。

20.atat解析：此題考固定搭配，atone'sdisposal，意為“任某人自由支配、使喚”。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“at”。

21.callscalls解析：此句意為“他把這種缺乏禮節(jié)的行為稱作是一種無意識(shí)的無禮”。call+雙賓語結(jié)構(gòu)，以為“把…稱為”，所以此處填“calls”。

22.thethe解析：此處缺冠詞，在年輕人之間，用the表示特指。所以此處應(yīng)填“the”。

23.toto解析：“incontrastto”為固定搭配，意為“與…相對(duì)比”。所以此處應(yīng)填“to”。

24.themthem解析：本題考查代詞的用法，根據(jù)上下文，此處句意為“人們使用這些小玩意兒。”上文已經(jīng)提到gadgets，所以這里用代詞“them”代替。

25.linklink解析：與37題對(duì)應(yīng)，此處應(yīng)填link，表明在“near-pointgripping”和“slow，illegiblewriting”之間存在聯(lián)系。

26.D解析：在第三段中女主人公意識(shí)到也許在四點(diǎn)的服務(wù)的原因是經(jīng)過精心策劃的而不是隨意粗魯?shù)牧?xí)慣，假期小費(fèi)從隨意的一句謝謝發(fā)展成為黑社會(huì)的保護(hù)勒索，所以作者是被迫的給假期小費(fèi)的。因此正確答案為D。

27.D解析：Stiglitz打算致力于發(fā)展中國(guó)家的發(fā)展是在書評(píng)四中提到的，書評(píng)四最后幾句“…setsoutforthenation'scapitaltoservehiscountryandimprovethelotofthedevelopingworld．”他打算改善發(fā)展中國(guó)家人民的命運(yùn)。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

28.C解析：由第二段中的“Second，theyhavetoadoptacomputersystemcalled…”可知。

29.A解析：由A中的第一段最后一句話“Atpresent，thePalaceisanelaboratemuseumthatpresentsthelargestandmostcompleteensembleoftraditionalarchitecture…”可知。

30.DD解析：該空承接上段，講的還是與毒藤相關(guān)的信息。毒橡樹跟毒漆樹的生長(zhǎng)地點(diǎn)，環(huán)境及其形狀。還是對(duì)鑒別毒藤的支撐信息。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

31.C解析：由C中的第一段“Thecityisnowthelargestindustrialcityinthecountry．”可知答案為C。

32.A解析：由A中的第一段“Thepopulationofthecityisabout800,000anditcoversanareaofover69squaremiles．”可知答案為A。
