5. Approximately 5,000 people who have been convicted of nonviolent crimes in the state have been given community-service sentences instead of prison sentences. These offenders perform services cmmensurate with their training and skills from scrubbing floors to conducting research for the state. The community-service program, which began in 1979, has grown immensely as a result of drunken-driver legislation enacted a few months ago.
The introduction of the community-service program in 1979 was most probably prompted by which of the following, all of which occurred during the 1970's?
A. A decrease in the number of violent crimes in the state
B. An increase in the number of crimes committed by employees of the state
C. A gradual decrease in the median age of judges in the state
D. The overcrowding of the prisons in the state
E. The passage of drunken-driver legislation in other states
一直再争议是B还是D,大家怎么看?我倾向于选D,因为的employee原文里没有的。最perfect的答案应该是:由于dunken-driver被抓起来后,使得prison overcrowded了
我认为答案是 D。 但是,原因是:由于the overcrowding of the prisons in the state,所以,在 drunken-driver legislation enacted a few months ago, 被抓的 drunken-driver 这种 nonviolent crimes 不得不 be sentenced to community-service. 从而导致, The community-service program, which began in 1979, has grown immensely
我选B,原文是问:community-service program 最可能是因为70年代的哪个事情而被提出的。
题目告诉我们,那个什么legislation颁布以后,酒后驾驶也要被sentence了,即司机的犯罪率升高,而这些司机都是with their training and skills的,所以c-s program has grown immensely,要不这些“人才”就浪费了;这恰与B选项中的employee(这些人也是有their training and skills的)的犯罪率增加对应。
FYI
给出的“事实”是:The community-service program, which began in 1979, 也就是说:1979年已经开始了 community-service program. 后边给出的另外一个现象是:这个 program has grown immensely as a result of drunken-driver legislation enacted a few months ago. 也就是“几个月前开始的酒后驾驶的法律让这个community-service 的数量极大的增加了。
但是,要问的问题是:“下边提到发生于七十年代的原因中那个最可能引发引进cummunity-service program的必要?”
题目首先告诉大家communitry-service program 已经存在,几个月前实施的drunken-driver legislation 只是使这个program 更加普遍和深入。但是,导致 1979年开始这个 program 的原因 最可能是什么呢?那就是监狱人满为患。由于监狱人满为患,于是nonviolent crimes 就不往监狱里边放了,而是让他们去做社区义工。drunken-driver 属于nonviolent crimes 的一种
