问题     The increasingly high rates of juvenile delinquency are a great problem in modem society. More and more people are paying special attention to it.
    When it comes to the reasons, here are two of them. Modem youth are more revolutionary and more independent than the elder generation. When this tendency goes to an extreme, problems arise. Some of the young want to throw away all the traditional principles and beliefs, most of which are very good for self-cultivation. They are reluctant to listen to the advice from elder generation. If they behave in the way, as they like, they might commit crimes without realizing it. Studies also show that juvenile-delinquency rates are twice as high for youngsters from single-parent homes as for those in traditional households. Children in single-parent families are taken less care of and thus have feelings of being neglected, discriminated and isolated. The lack of parental love makes them hostile and cynical towards the society.
    There are several ways to prevent the youth from committing crimes. School education plays an important role to teach traditional beliefs. Books and programs should be in good quality. There should be more educational books and programs for young children to tell them how to distinguish the right from the wrong. Also, mutual understanding between parents and children is also very important. Parental supervision and guidance are a key factor of self-cultivation in lifetime. The two generations need to smooth away disagreement. Parents can spend much time staying with their children and patiently carry out the duty of family education.
    And others are starting to pay attention to another problem in modern society that may underline all sorts of crimes, including juvenile delinquency, though it is believed that the development of information technology has made the world smaller. Modern people have greater tensions so that they have less time to communicate with each other. More and more people are living in urban areas,  where life is in a quick rhythm. Due to fierce competition, which is the most important reason of all,  city dwellers have to be working hard in order to keep up with the steps of city life. Everybody is busy all the time. Work pressures deprive them of a casual way of life. Moreover, living in apartments in different blocks, people are isolated from each other. It is not convenient for them to meet each other freely.  
What are the reasons for juvenile delinquency presented in paragraph 2 ？
选项 A、The negative influence of mass media and single parent family.
B、Young people’s tendency to be rebellious and high divorce rates.
C、The influence of mass media and young people’s tendency to be rebellious.
D、High divorce rate and single-parent family.
答案B
解析 段落主旨题；题目直接指向文章的第二段，需要我们对第二段的内容进行归纳总结然后做出解答。从文章中我们可以看出，原文的第二段其实包含两个层次，一部分在讨论“Modern youth are more revolutionary and more independent that the elder generation”，也就是青少年的叛逆问题。另一部分则关注“Studies also show that juvenile-delinquency rates are twice as high for youngsters from single-parent homes as for those in traditional households”，也就是单亲家庭的问题，对于这两个基本点都进行了总结的是B选项，分别用rebellious和high divorce rates来对应两个问题，是我们需要的正确答案。请考生对比阅读B选项和D选项，体会全面的正确答案和片面性的干扰选项之间的区别。
