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.
【C12】
选项 A、case
B、short
C、turn
D、essence
答案C
解析 和上题一样，这道题空格所在句子的主干结构也已经完整：discontent(主语)maylead(谓语)more youths(宾语)into criminal behavior(宾补)，填入的名词与in搭配后在句中作状语。由于四个选项都可以与in搭配，因此只需判断哪个短语填入后，能使句意表达更完整。句子大意是(经济变化使年轻人就业变得困难)，由此造成的不满情绪导致更多年轻人犯罪，选项中只有in turn放入后符合逻辑，因为它可以表示一种连锁的因果联系，即经济变化导致就业困难，就业困难导致不满，不满转而又导致犯罪。
