Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems — both legal and educational — for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers.Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly. One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.1. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____. [单选题]A) the writer himself is homeless, even in his eightiesB) many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 citiesC) there is a serious shortage of academic facilities(正确答案)D) homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education2. The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____. [单选题]A.350,000B. 1,500,000C.440,000(正确答案)D. 110,0003. One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____. [单选题]A. the homeless children are too young to be counted as childrenB. the homeless population is growing rapidlyC. the homeless children usually stay outside schoolD. some homeless children are deserted by their families(正确答案)4. The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___. [单选题]A. the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized(正确答案)B. the estimates on homeless children are hard to determineC. the address of grade-school children should be locatedD. all homeless people are entitled to free education5.The passage mainly deals with____ [单选题]A. the legal problems of the homeless childrenB . the educational problems of homeless children(正确答案)C . the social status of older malesD .estimates on the homeless populationPassage twoNow let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time from which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person. It also vaies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.6. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except________ . [单选题]A. one’s familiarity with the textB. one’s purpose in readingC. the length of a group of words(正确答案)D. lighting and tiredness7. The author may believe that reading ______. [单选题]A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationB. requires a reader to see words more quicklyC. demands an deeply-participating mind(正确答案)D. demands more mind than eyes8 What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second parapraph?
