题文

Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria (衡量标准，尺度) in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They looked for a university that offered the teenager’s intended major (主修科目), one located near a large city, and a campus (大学校园) where their daughter would be safe.
“The safety issue (问题) is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns (担心), and the same question was always  asked: What about crime? But when college officials al ways gave the same answer---“That’s not a problem here.” ---Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatsoever?” comments (评论) Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: In 1999 the U.S . Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics (统计数字)  by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity (名声), leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog (监视) group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了许多人为了孩子的安全去考查想要去的大学。但是获得真实的信息是不容易的。根据法律大学要上报发生在他们校园里的犯罪行为，但一些大学因为害怕自己的公众形象被毁，就故意隐瞒不报，只剩下了一些老老实实的大学把发生在自己的校园的犯罪上报。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第一句话,The Mahoneys 去参观几所大学是为了女儿的安全考虑，故选 B
小题2:细节理解题。根据第四段Colleges must report crime statistics (统计数字)  by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity (名声), leaving the honest ones looking dangerous.学校必须按照法律报道犯罪统计数字,但是由于害怕宣传造成的不好的声誉,有些学校阻止对一些犯罪的统计.故选C
小题3:词意猜测题。根据上文的No crime whatsoever,"没有丝毫的犯罪,这太绝对.因此我不相信.故选C  
小题4:归纳理解题。根据短文的主旨大意,父母为了孩子,到处去看学校的情况,故选 D
