Passage 2
Crime has its own cycles (周期), a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.
The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 pm and 6 am.
Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 pm and 2 am on a Saturday night in December, January or February. Which is the most uncriminal month of all? May—though more dog bites are reported in this month than any other month of the year.
   Possibly, high temperature and humidity (湿度) bring on our strange and terrifying summer actions, but police officials are not sure. “There is, of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder,” they say. “Why murder’s high time should come in the summertime we really don’t know.”
36.A connection has been found（　　　）.
A. between crime patterns in 2,400 cities and towns
B. between a magazine report and police records
C. between the season and the studies for five years
D. between seasons and crime patterns
37.Crimes of bodily harm reach their high in（　　　）.
A. February   B. May
C. July   D. December
38.Burglary is less likely to occur（　　　）.
A. in winter   B. in summer
C. at night   D. on weekends
39.What is the strange thing in May?（　　　）
A. There are more robberies in May.
B. Most criminals are caught in May.
C. There are more dog bites in May.
D. Most criminals are released in May.
40.One conclusion you can draw from the last paragraph is that（　　　）.
A. there may be a link between murder and hot weather
B. there is definitely a link between murder and hot weather
C. there is no link between murder and hot weather
D. there cannot be any connection between humidity and murder
