根据下面资料,回答题
Crime has its own cycles,a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2400 cities and towns show a surprising link between chan-ges in the season and crime patterns in UK.
The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal:it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime:62 percent of mur-ders are. committed between 6 p.m. and 6 a. m.
Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in December,January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.
On the one hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our crim-inal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances,he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington´s studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marria-ges !
 The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by__________.

A.the figures in police records
B.2400 cities and towns
C.a magazine report
D.the studies by police officers

参考答案

A

答案解析

【参考译文】
几年前一份杂志报道,犯罪也是有周期的。2400多个城镇五年间的警察记录显示,在英国,季节变化和犯罪形式之间有着令人惊奇的联系。
犯罪的形式在每年的某一时间段不会有太大的改变。谋杀罪在7月和8月间达到高峰,强奸罪和其他暴力袭击也是如此。另外,与其说谋杀是季节性的,不如说它是周末罪行,也是午夜罪行:62%的谋杀案发生在晚上6点到早上6点之间。
与夏季高发的人身攻击的罪行不同,盗窃罪有着不同的周期。你更容易在十二月、一月和二月的周六晚上6点到凌晨两点之间被抢劫。然而,最不容易犯罪的是五月份,因为据报道,这个月的狗叫比一年中其他任何月份都多。
一方面,智力发展的季节周期和犯罪倾向是完全不同的。周期研究基金会的Hunting-ton教授做了大量研究来找出人们读重要的书的季节,参加科学会议的季节,考试得最高分的季节,以及在专利上做出最大改变的季节。在所有的例子中,他发现了春季高峰和秋季高峰,以及将它们分成两截的夏季低潮。另一方面,Huntington教授的报告也显示出六月是自杀和进精神病院的高峰期。同样,六月也是结婚的高峰期。
【答案详解】
细节判断题。从第一段第二句话,“2400多个城镇五年间的警察记录显示,在英国,季节变化和犯罪形式之间有着令人惊奇的联系”,可得知正确答案为A。
