So I don’t believe we will see a huge (12)_____ in violent crime, but I (13)_____ rates of property crime and crimes of opportunity to remain high.

选项
A、expect
B、suppose
C、assume
D、conceive
答案
A
解析
动词辨析和搭配。结构"expect...to..."意为"期望…做…;期望…发生";而suppose和不定式搭配时,一般用作"be supposed to...",意为"被期望做…";assume意为"假定,假设",尤指主观臆断,缺乏证据;conceive和of搭配,意为"想象"。根据题意,expect为最佳选择。该句意为,我预计财产犯罪率和机会性犯罪率仍会很高。
