问题     Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency (crimes committed by young people) focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. Theories【C1】______on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior【C2】______they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through【C3】______with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in【C4】______to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status,【C5】______as a rejection of middle, class values.
    Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from disadvantaged families, 【C6】______the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes【C7】______lack of adequate parental control. All theories, however, are tentative and are【C8】______to criticism.
    Changes in the social structure may indirectly【C9】______juvenile crime rates. For example, changes in the economy that【C10】______to fewer job opportunities for youth and rising unemployment【C11】______make gainful employment increasingly difficult to obtain. The resulting discontent may in【C12】______lead more youths into criminal behavior.
    Families have also【C13】______changes these years. More families consist of one-parent households or two working parents;【C14】______, children are likely to have less supervision at home【C15】______was common in the traditional family【C16】______. This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates. Other【C17】______causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased【C18】______of drugs and alcohol, and the growing【C19】______of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act,【C20】______a direct causal relationship has not yet been established.
【C13】
选项 A、survived
B、noticed
C、undertaken
D、experienced
答案D
解析 本题要求判断哪个动词可以与changes构成动寅搭配，并符合文意。若只局限于所在句子的语意，答案可以不止一个。因此要根据上下文来确定最佳答案。上文从社会结构变化谈到经济变化再谈到家庭变化；下文则提到，越来越多的家庭变成单亲或双职工家庭。这些都在暗示家庭结构有了变化。四个选项构成的动宾搭配分别表示幸免于变化、注意到变化、承担变化和经历变化。B，C选项中的动词不与family搭配，因为其施动者通常是人，显然，experienced最恰当地表达了近几年家庭也经历着变化的含义。
