问题      There is controversy and misunderstanding about the proper functions of juvenile courts and their probation departments. There are cries that the whole process produces delinquents rather than rehabilitates them. There are speeches by the score about "getting enough" with the kids. Another large group thinks we should be more understanding and gentle with delinquents. This distrust of the services offered can be attributed in large part to the confusion in the use of these services throughout the country.
     On the one hand, the juvenile courts are tried to the criminal court system, with an obligation to decide guilt and innocence for offenses specifically stated and formally charged. On the other, they have the obligation to provide treatment, supervision and guidance to youngsters in trouble, without respect to the crimes of which they are accused. These two conflicting assignment must be carried out——quite properly——in an informal, private way, which will not stigmatize a youngster during his formative years.
     And, as the courts’ preoccupation with the latter task has increased, the former (that of dispensing justice) has retreated, with the result grave injustices are bound to occur.
The author contends that public distrust of juvenile courts is. primarily the result of _________.
选项 A、resentment on the part of those convicted by them
B、the dual function of these courts
C、lack of a sufficient number of probation officers
D、injustices done by the courts
答案B
解析 文中“This distrust of the services offered can be attributed in large part to the confusion in the use of these services throughout the country．”而紧接着文中介绍了其两种功能。所以正确答案为B。
