听力原文: Police in Macedonia have arrested a journalist on suspicion that he was behind three murder cases he'd been reporting on. The journalist, Vlado Taneski, is accused of kidnapping, abusing and raping three women. Andrew Craig reports. Vlado Taneski is the correspondent for a Macedonia national newspaper in the town of Kicevo. [10] A police spokesman said suspicion fell upon him when his reports included details of murders that the police themselves had not disclosed. The three cases involved elderly women who were raped and mutilated, then naked bodies were cut into pieces and dumped into plastic bags. The spokesman said Mr. Taneski's DNA appeared to be linked to the murdered women. He is also suspected over the disappearance of another woman who has been missing for several years. The police say that all the women bore similarities to Mr. Taneski's late mother with whom he had had a troubled relationship.
The police locked their suspicion on Vlado Taneski when they found that
A.his reports covered the confidential information.
B.the three murder cases all involved elderly women.
C.all the victims had some similarities with his late mother.
D.he was responsible for the disappearance of a women.
On September 27th a 53-year-old petty criminal, Duane Morrison, walked into a school in Bailey, Colorado, with two guns. He took six girls hostage, molested some of them, and killed one before committing suicide as police stormed the room.
And on September 29th a boy brought two guns into his school in Cazenovia, Wisconsin. Prosecutors say that 15-year-old Eric Hainstock may have planned to kill several people. But staff acted quickly when they saw him with a shotgun, calling the police and putting the school into "lock-down". The head teacher, who confronted him in a corridor, was the only one killed.
October 2nd a 32-year-old milk-truck driver, Charles Roberts, entered a one-room Amish school in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania. He lined the girls up, tied their feet and, after an hour, shot them, killing at least five. He killed himself as police broke into the classroom.
What to make of such horrors? Some experts see the Colorado and Pennsylvania cases as an extreme manifestation of a culture of violence against women. Both killers appeared to have a sexual motive, and both let all the boys in the classroom go free. But it is hard to infer from such unusual examples, and one must note that violence against women is less than half what it was in 1995.
Other experts see all three cases as symptomatic of a change in the way men commit suicide. Helen Smith, a forensic psychologist, told a radio audience "men are deciding to take their lives, "and they're not going alone anymore. They're taking people down with them". True, but not very often.
Gun-control enthusiasts think school massacres show the need for tighter restrictions. It is too easy, they say, for criminals such as Mr. Morrison and juveniles such as Mr. Hainstock to obtain guns. Gun enthusiasts draw the opposite conclusion: that if more teachers carried concealed handguns, they could shoot potential child-killers before they kill.
George Bush has now called for a conference on school violence. Will it unearth anything new, or valuable? After the Columbine massacre in 1999, the FBI produced a report on school shooters. It concluded that it was impossible to draw up a useful profile of a potential shooter because "a great many adolescents who will never commit violent acts will show some of the behaviours on any checklist of warning signs".
According to the passage, an epidemic of violence in American classrooms was inevitable in that ______.
A.three school shootings in six days make a trend.
B.children are less likely to be murdered outside the school walls than within them.
C.there is no limits to get a gun for children.
D.an epidemic of violence is not only in American classrooms but also in society.

TEXT D
For nearly two years, Marisela Escobedo Ortiz led a one-woman campaign to bring the murderer of her 16-year-old daughter to justice. Ms Escobedo was outraged after a three-judge panel ignored overwhelming evidence pointing to her daughter's then boyfriend, a member of a criminal gangs Sergio Barraza, as the killer. The judges' decision was eventually overturned-but not before Barraza was released and Escobedo. herself murdered this past December, while protesting in front of the Chihuahua state governor's office.
Escobedo's death was recorded by a security camera and broadcast throughout the country, outraging the Mexican public and leading to the suspension of the three judges involved in the original trial. Her case is not only representative of the impunity with which activists are silenced in Mexico, but also highlights the marked increase in violence toward women as the country has been drawn deeper into its battle with organised crime.
Since President Calderon began to take on Mexico's crime in 2006, the country's drug war has taken a total of 34,612 lives, nearly half of which were claimed solely in 2010. Unbeknown to many, the deaths resulting from organized crime have also coincided with the murder of over 4,000 women since 2006 from causes unrelated to the nation's drug war. While violence toward women is not new to Mexico, the estimated number of female deaths suggests a callous disregard by Mexico's government of this growing phenomenon.
The authorities' negligence is especially evident in Escobedo's native state of Chihuahua, home to the notorious Ciudad .Juarez, where according to human rights organizations, femicides rose by 1300/6 between 2009 and 2010, resulting in a total of 446 murdered women only last year. This worsening epidemic has led local authorities throughout the country to downplay the mounting violence by misclassifying murders, attributing deaths to drug violence, or simply under-report the figures.
This national campaign of misinformation seems to be primarily motivated by electoral politics, as was recently demonstrated by Mexico state governor-and leading presidential candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)-Enrique Pena Nieto. Earlier this month, authorities in Mexico state clashed with NGOs seeking to declare a "gender emergency" in the locality after federal prosecutors announced that over 900 women had been murdered in the state during the past five years. This figure would make Mexico state one of the most violent in the nation, and likely damage the closely guarded image of government of Pena Nieto. The government of Pena Nieto succeeded in lobbying national authorities to avoid applying the "gender emergency" designation to his state, prompting the condemnation of domestic and international NGOs.
While Mexico's authorities might continue to successfully obscure the extent of the country's increasing violence toward women, the rising death toll and public outrage make this task increasingly difficult. Ms Escobedo's death, along with that of activist Susana Chavez earlier this month, have already sparked protests throughout Mexico and at Mexican embassies around the world, as well as bringing mounting international criticism.
As Mexico enters its fifth year of conflict and escalating militarisation, the country's ability to ensure basic protections for its citizens-and, in particular, for those most at risk-has never been less certain. If Mexico's political class is intent on improving its reputation for governance, it should focus less on muddling with the figures and more on resolving the nation's problems.
What happened to the three judges?
[A] They were detained by the judicial department.
[B] They were prevented from their positions.
[C] They were threatened by the criminal gangs.
[D] They justly judged Ms Escobedo's daughter's case.

A.exceptionally
B.additionally
C.traditionally
D.rationally
