26题空白处前的含义是“把目光 /注意力放在贫困家庭青少年的犯罪上”,空白处后的含义是来自富裕家庭青少年的犯罪,“贫困”和“富裕”本身就是鲜明的对立,十分关注(focused)前者的时候就不可避免地“忽略”(ignoring)后者,是对照的逻辑关系。因此[B] ignoring是正确选项。其中focus是信号词。
27题空白处前的含义是“青少年犯罪”,空白处后的含义是“缺乏父母的管教”,显而易见,这又是一对因果关系,故选项[C] for是正确选项。其中commit crimes和lack of……是信号词。值得一提的是虽然选项C中的with有“因为”的含义,但在此处无法和lack of搭配使用。
