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 (91) on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior (92) they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through (93) with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in (94) to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status, (95) as a rejection of middle, class values.

参考答案: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)may lead(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 (102) 导致更多年轻人犯罪,选项中只有in turn放人后符合逻辑,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。
