2022四级阅读理解练习题及解析(8)　　Until the 11010s, the American homeless population comprised mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 11017 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(改变无常的) 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 11017, 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 ____.　　A) the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties　　B) many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities　　C) there is a serious shortage of academic facilities　　D) homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education　　2. The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____.　　A) 350,000　　B) 1,500,000　　C) 440,000　　D) 110,000　　3. One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____.　　A) the homeless children are too young to be counted as children　　B) the homeless population is growing rapidly　　C) the homeless children usually stay outside school　　D) some homeless children are deserted by their families　　4. The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___.　　A) the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized　　B) the estimates on homeless children are hard to determine　　C) the address of grade-school children should be located　　D) all homeless people are entitled to free education　　5. The passage mainly deals with ____.　　A) the legal problems of the homeless children　　B) the educational problems of homeless children　　C) the social status of older males　　D) estimates on the homeless population　　　　答案：C C D A B　　直到20世纪80年头，美国无家可归的人口主要包括的还是年龄较大的男性。

现在，社会上年龄较小的一些人也面临无家可归的威逼的确，美国市长会议在11017年对25个城市进行了一项调查，结果表明，在无家可归的人口中，儿童的增长比例是最快的很多无家可归的儿童都聚集在城市的中心地带其中学龄儿童四处流浪，饱受惊吓这给已经负担考试大过重的城市教学和教学管理带来了很多额的外的麻烦，其中既涉及法律问题又涉及教化问题　　美国无家可归的人口数量估计在35万到300万人之间同样，无家可归的学龄儿童人数也无法做出精确的估计一份依据各州估计数字而得出的美国教法的育部的报告指出，有22万无家可归的学龄儿童，其中约有三分之一没有按规定上学然而国家关于无家可归人员的联盟会却估计，这样的儿童人数至少还应当多一倍，其中半数以上没有正常入学　　有一部分无家可归的人口尤其难以统计，就是那些遭家庭遗弃的“浪荡”少年据纽约小学中心估计，这样的人口有150万左右其中还有很多小孩没有估计进去，因为这些小孩不呆在平安的家中，却往往独自由街头流浪　　联邦法律(11017年斯图尔德•B•麦肯尼无家可归人员救助法案)有一部分特地指出了无家可归儿童的教化须要法案中有关于教化的条款所依据的观点是全部无家可归的儿童都有权接受正规的义务教化。
