Theories focusing on the role of society that children commit crimes in【C4】______ to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status【C5】______ as a rejection of middle-class values.

【C11】
选项 A、in general
B、on average
C、by contrast
D、at length
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。本题空格前的“上升的失业率”与空格后的“使好工作日益难寻”，在逻辑上再次形成了“因果”关系。由于本段第一句和最后一句均运用了情态动词may，故空格处最好使用一个与这两个may相呼应的语气词，以构成本段语气上的连贯。Ain general(一般地)，B on average(通常)， Cby contrast(相比而言)和D at length(最后)，只有Ain general和may的语气较为接近。
