Rio De Janeiro is infamous for its high crime rate. As it prepares to 【C1】______ the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, the city is bracing for a flood of international 【C2】______. Given its crime-ridden (犯罪猖獗的) reputation, how well are its 【C3】______ doing in tackling the problem? But wait a moment before cancelling your flights. There are two reasons for caution.
Firstly, Brazil’s population is young, and 【C4】______ very rapidly. So you would expect the number of recorded crimes to be increasing too. What’s more meaningful is the crime rate—the number of recorded 【C5】______ per person. The crime rate in Rio seems to be increasing at a 【C6】______ rate than its population—in spite of the massive security crackdown (镇压). But despite all this, things may not be as bad as they 【C7】______. No, really. The second, and perhaps more interesting, reason for caution; it’s all about that little word "recorded".
My colleague in the FT’s Brazil bureau, Samantha Pearson, comments: "Since 2008 the authorities have started to move into the city’s poor areas and set up police posts there. Before, these areas were completely 【C8】______—if a crime happened, it would 【C9】______ be reported to the police. The rise in recorded incidents could just be because the authorities are 【C10】______ back the more dangerous areas of the city, and people are now reporting these crimes.
【C5】
选项
答案
B
解析
根据句子结构可知,recorded后面空格处缺少一个名词。该句意为“更有说服意义的是犯罪率,即人均有记录的______量。”由此可知,破折号后的短语the number of recorded ______ per person是对上句中的crime rate的解释说明,B项crimes“犯罪”符合句意,故为答案。
