选项 A、complete
B、commit
C、submit
D、perform

答案B

解析 词汇辨析题。文章开篇首句提到:Most of us think we know the kind of kid who becomes a killer,and most of the time we’re right.(我们中的大多数人认为自己了解那些犯了杀人罪的孩子,而且大多数的时候我们是对的)。从下一句给出的部分可以看出,这里是在谈论男孩子犯杀人罪的比例。commit意为"犯(错误),干(坏事)",将该词放回句中,符合上下文语境,表示"男孩子在所有少年杀人犯中所占的比例大约为85%"。complete意为"完成,结束",complete是指一件工作或事情进行到最后阶段,马上就可见成果,此词用在句中,语义关系不正确;submit意为"呈交,提交",perform意为"表演,举行",这两个词与句中各部分没有语义关系,故排除。
