问题       Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency 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 that children commit crimes in【C4】______ to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status【C5】______ as a rejection of middle-class values.

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.

选项 A、immune
B、resistant
C、sensitive
D、subject
答案 D
解析 语义衔接题。本题线索有两条：其一是选项中截然相反的一对选项中大概有一个选项是正确的，本题中Aimmune和D subject正是如此的一对；第二条线索是本句中的连词and，这个and在本句中构成了其前后两个词的因果关系。由于所有理论都是“尝试性的”(tentative)，所以一切理论通常会“遭受到批评和质疑”(subject to criticism)。A、B 、C选项的含义是“免于”、“抵抗”、“敏感的”。
