　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living.People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor.Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.

　　As the general standard of living in the country rises，the poverty line does，too.Therefore，even with today’s relatively high standard of living，about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line.However，if these people had stable jobs，they could have an acceptable standard of living.Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.

　　For one thing，more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work.Over 40 percent of the poor people are children.By law，children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries.A large number of poor people are old.Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old，the normal retirement age.

　　Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons：they are sick，they do not have any motivation，they have family problems，or they do not believe that they can find a job.

　　Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one.Many poor adults never went to high school.Therefore，when they look for jobs，they have few skills that they can offer.

　　At the present time，the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.

　　First，if the national economy grows，businesses and industries hire more workers.Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment.Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.

　　Second，if society invests in the poor，the poor will become more productive.If the government spends money on social programs，education，and training for poor people，the poor will have the skills to offer.Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.

　　Finally，if the government distributes society’s income differently，it raises some poor people above the poverty line.The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor.These payments to the poor are called welfare.In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.

　　Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem.However，at the present time，many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.

　　41. The author’s main purpose to write this article is________.

　　A.to define what the poverty line is

　　B.to explain why some people live the poverty line

　　C.to find solutions to the problem of poverty

　　D.to show sympathy for those poor people

　　42.Which of the following is NOT true?

　　A.Ten percent of the Americans live a poor life.

　　B.Poor people are those who live below the poverty line.

　　C.The poverty line rises as the general standard of living rises.

　　D.The poverty line tends to be at the same level.

　　43.More than 40 percent of the poor people are children.This is mainly because________.

　　A.they do not have enough motivation

　　B.they are so young that they don’t have the right to work

　　C.they fail to get enough education

　　D.they are very poor in health

　　44.Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because________.

　　A.they do not have any motivation to work

　　B.they are not very self-confident

　　C.they are too young or too old to work

　　D.they have physical and family problems

　　45.We may concluded from the passage that________.

　　A.better solutions to the poverty problem are not yet found

　　B.welfare will enable them to be rich

　　C.poor people are sure to go out of the poverty line if they have chances to do business

　　D.employment is the best solution to the poverty problem

　　课时作业答案

　　Ⅰ.单项填空

　　【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章讲述的是马祖照先生的故事。抗日战争时期，年轻的马祖照在参加大学入学考试时，突患疟疾，监考老师给予他无微不至的照顾，并一直鼓励他完成考试。

　　21.A　据语意是参加考试。attend“参加某活动/考试”是及物动词。

　　22.B　最后一场考试是汉语言和文学考试。session可以指会期、考期的“阶段，场次”，符合语境。

　　23.D　据后文他生病，知道事情是“很不幸”;意义转折，故用unfortunately。

　　24.C　句意为：正当他在“写”(write)作文时，突然患疟疾发烧。

　　25.B　句意为：他出汗的同时也“打摆子”(trembling)，并手指发黑。

　　26.C　根据语境，他在考试时生病，精神快要垮时，对他表示关心的声音应该是“温暖的”。故用warm。

　　27.D　根据语境，监考老师关切地说：你好像病了，孩子。用it seems...符合语境。

　　28.B　句意为：如果你短期退烧，我将让你延长考试时间。time limit 时间限制。

　　29.B　指老师关切地“走上前来”(come over)。

　　30.C　句意为：“只要”(so long as)你退了烧，就一定能坚持下去。

　　31.B　语气肯定，表示鼓励。故用surely。

　　32.A　根据语境：因受到“鼓励”(encouraged)，马祖照的精神振奋起来。

　　33.A　据情景，马祖照使自己的精神振奋起来。故用raised，表示“使……被提升/振奋起来”。

　　34.B　句意为：从“口袋”(pocket)拿出药片吞下去了。由语境，选pocket合适。

　　35.B　句意为：除了马祖照和监考老师大家都走了，即教室是空的，故用empty表“空的”。

　　36.C　句意为：老师“安慰”(comfort)他坚持写。

　　37.D　由语境，可分析前后有递进关系，即老师安慰他坚持写，“并且”(and)老师说会陪着他。

　　38.C　马祖照考完后表示感谢，向老师深深鞠躬，故用bow。

　　39.D　从上下文考虑，监考老师赞扬他能经受艰难、困苦的考验。

　　40.B　马祖照入学以后，才逐渐“了解到”(know)那位监考老师是文学院院长刘天宇，一位博学的教授。

　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　41.C　意图推测题，主题句位于第一段(Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.)。文章首先提出主题，然后围绕它作了阐述，介绍了美国贫穷人口的一些基本情况：贫困人口的特点，原因等，最后重点讲述了政府目前打算解决贫困问题的一些想法，最后又再次强调经济学家正在努力寻求更好的解决方案。所以C项正确。其他各项均不能概括全文。

　　42.D　细节题。由第二段第一句As the general standard of living in the country rises，the poverty does，too，可知随着一个国家人民生活水平提高，贫困线的标准也正提高。

　　43.B　细节题。由文章第三段中的By law，children less than 16 years old can’t work in many Industries.可以看出儿童在贫困人口中占这么大的比例，是因为美国法律没有给他们工作的权利。

　　44.C　细节题。由第三段中的Over 40 percent of the poor people are children以及A large number of the poor people are old可知，美国相当一部分贫困人口没有工作是因为他们非小(不到法定工作年龄)即老(到了退休年龄)。

　　45.A　推断题。由文章最后一段可知：经济学家正在寻找更好的解决贫困问题的方案，但目前(还没找到)，绝大部分贫困人口不得不依靠社会福利和低保维持生计。
