问题 That social institutions influence the formation of character has become a generally accepted proposition. This doctrine views individuals as but compliant recipients of social influence: personalities are entirely the products of society, and at any point in life an individual’s personality can be changed by management of the social world. Crime is said to exist only because society has in some ways failed in its responsibility to give every person the resources to lead a productive life. However, whereas it is true that extreme poverty forces some people to steal, it is obvious that some persons will commit crimes no matter how well society treats them. Which of the following is implied by the "doctrine"(line 2)described in the passage above?
选项 A、Social institutions may reflect personality as much as they shape it.
B、Social influence on personality is most strongly felt by the affluent.
C、The concentration of wealth in the hands of a privileged few accounts for the existence of crime.
D、Bringing about social reform is the most likely means of curtailing crime.
E、Less severe punishment of crime would be likely to result in more crime.
答案 D
解析 本题让我们指出“the doctrine”中隐含什么，因此读题重点应放在however前的三句话。第一句话说明了“the doctrine”的观点，第二句与第三句进一步表达了这个观点的内容。注意第二句里面的“entirely”、“at any point”与第三句里面的“only because”。根据第三句话“crime is said to exist only be—cause society．．．”与第二句话“at any point in life an individual’s personality can be changed by the man—agement of the social world”，又结合common sense“犯罪是一种personality”，所以(D)正确。(A)中的“reflect”属于新动词，且做了一个无关比较；(B)中的“the affluent”的内容从上文中得不到；(C)易误选，选(C)的考生大多受段落第四句的影响，但读题重点和思考重点应放在前三句话，并且第四句话的意思与(C)有点相违背，所以(C)不对；(E)中的less severe punishment是一个新概念并且与段落推理没有任何关系。
