Today, nearly everyone agrees that it is wrong to treat someone differently because of their race or background. But sadly these aren’t the only forms of unfair treatment in society. Prejudice against teenagers is both widespread and largely ignored.
【B1】______They frequently describe young people as being lazy, arrogant and stupid. Many also present teenagers as dangerous! One survey found that over 70% of news articles about young people were critical, and a third of these stories related to crimes.
【B2】______Some go further, and actively seek to restrict their behavior. For instance, retailers may put up notices saying "maximum of two students permitted at any one time. " If they wrote "women" instead, they’d be asked to remove the signs immediately!
【B3】______ But their argument is factually incorrect. In reality, around three quarters of shoplifters are adults. Should we ban over-eighteen-year-olds from stores instead?
【B4】______But this low figure is one which little interests the media. Why? Perhaps it’s because editors have other numbers to think of, such as profit margins. Bad news sells. Headlines like " Over 40% of teenagers support charities" simply are not as exciting!
【B5】______Its other, more important duty is to report the truth. Journalists need to raise awareness of different aspects of teenagers’ lives—and politicians, businesses, teachers and parents need to listen.
Are all blue-eyed people the same? Of course not. If 10% of blue-eyed people break the law, then should we stop trusting everyone with blue eyes? So why do we assume that all the young people are "bad" , just because a few misbehave? It’s time to start treating teenagers the way they deserve. Not as a "problem" group, but as individuals.
Questions 61—65
Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.
A. To justify their actions, shop owners claim that teenagers are more likely to shoplift.
B. As a result, it’s not surprising that many older people mistrust teenagers.
C. On the other hand, the media is not just a commercial interest.
D. Why do we assume that all young people are "bad" , just because a few misbehave?
E. Journalists and news editors have given teenagers a very bad image.
F. That question is even more ridiculous than the previous one.
G. In reality, only around 10%—20% of crimes are committed by young offenders.
【B2】
选项
答案
B
解析
空格后面提到了Some(有些人),并且说有些人更进一步,甚至限制他们的行为。由此可知,空格处应该也是对青少年的歧视,但是程度轻一些。B项中的“As a result”承上启下,而且“mistrust”表现了对青少年的歧视,因此B项符合该处语境。
