For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage One Online services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellites users. Users of so-called ―dumb‖ terminals (,those without processing capability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system. Personal computer (PC. users typically access the host through a modem (调制解调器). A PC software program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and a PC, allowing the user to operate through the online system and select different databases using a keyboard or a mouse. National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect long-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users to copy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device, which also reduces the time the user is connected to the online system. Besides offering a great number of different information bases, ranging from full- text journal libraries to reports of missing children, online services allow users to, for example, reserve airline tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and commumcate with other users. In exchange for the service, users usually pay a monthly membership fee. They may also pay to connect to various databases on the service or to download information. 41. Online services work by providing users with_________. A. a base of information B. dumb terminals C. a host system D. a satellite 42. How can the users of terminals without processing capability acquire the necessary information? A. They can simply use a keyboard or a mouse. B. They should use a modem to maintain the host system. C. They should connect their computer to a satellite system. D. They can access its base through the programs on the system. 43. If you copy the online information onto your PC device, you will . A. save the time of connecting to the online system B. reduce the risk of losing information C. pay just local telephone charges D. get local information only 44. If you want to read full-text journals online, you usually have to . A. seek for a large amount of information B. be connected to various databases C. be introduced by the local library D. pay a monthly membership fee 45. The passage is mainly about_________. A. the payment for online services B. the functions of online services C. the development of online services D. the relation between online services and the users Passage Two In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead to violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area. 46. What does the word ―urban‖ (Line 2, Para. 3) mean? A. Of the city. B. Out of work. C. In a bad condition. D. Of enormous size. 47. Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because_________. A. they can hardly support their families on farms B. they are unhappy with their life in the country C. the rural areas are too crowded with people D. they hope to have their own business the author’s view, solving the cities’ problem of overcrowding by strict registrations is . A. practical B. possible C. not realistic D. not sufficient 49. According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if . A. traditional methods of farming are well kept B. conditions in rural areas are much improved C. the government can provide more jobs could be controlled in cities 50. Which factor is most important for people to be attracted to live in the country? expectations. B. Their interests. C. Their income. D. Their attitude. Passage Three As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely ―not ill‖ and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called ―well‖. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms ―well‖ and ―wellness‖ only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺 陷) may be ―well‖, in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. ―Wellness‖ may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life. 51. Today medical care is placing more stress on _____. A. keeping people in a healthy physical condition B. monitoring patients’ body functions C. removing people’s bad living habits D. ensuring people’s psychological well-being 52. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ______. A. good health is more than not being ill B. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful C. regular health checks are essential to keeping fit D. prevention is more difficult than cure 53. Traditionally, a person is considered ―well‖ if he _____. A. does not have any unhealthy living habits B. does not have any physical handicaps C. is able to handle his daily routines D. is free from any kind of disease 54. According to the author, the true meaning of ―wellness‖ is for people_____. A. to best satisfy their body’s special needs B. to strive to maintain the best possible health C. to meet the strictest standards of bodily health D. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure 55. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy? A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures. B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease. C. People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations. D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care. Passage Four In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed ―to give children a good start academically‖ as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education. Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens. 56. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe_____. A. Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parents B. Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievements C. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction D, Japan’s higher education is superior to theirs 57. Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance to_____. A. problem solving B. group experience C. parental guidance D. individually-oriented development 58. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on ____. A. preparing children academically B. developing children’s artistic interests C. tapping children’s potential D. shaping children’s character 59. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to_____. A. broaden children’s horizon B. cultivate children’s creativity C. lighten children’s study load D. enrich children’s knowledge 60. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens? A. They can do better in their future studies. B. They can accumulate more group experience there. C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up. D. They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education. Part ?

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWEAR SHEET. Passage One Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we can’t ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline(汽油), which is a non-renewable(无法更新 的)resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling(合用汽车), instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can’t be so effective if it’s taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent. 41(According to the writer, the main problem to our environment today is ( A. the increase of population B. the limited energy resources C. the more serious air pollution D. the development of technology 42(From the passage，we can know that ( A. effective measures can be taken mainly by the government B. taking measures now can soon improve the environment C. immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problems D. every single person’s action has some effect on environment protection 43(The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to ( A. complain about people’s slow actions to protect the environment B. advise people to take actions to protect the environment C. show himself to be an active environment protector D. point out the bad effects of technologies on protecting environment 44(The author believes that carpooling ( A. can give help to those without cars B. can save people money and time C. can save energy resources and reduce air pollution D. can promote friendship among drivers 45(The passage is mainly about ( A. energy resources saving B. environment protection C. population control D. air pollution Passage Two Ever since humans have lived on the Earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier(语言障碍), communication is achieved through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and people unable to hear or speak have had to use this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very vivid exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, can not. Body language expresses ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic(非语言的)language can be found in Braille(a system of raised dots read with the fingers), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings. 46. Which of the following statements best summarizes this passage? A. When there is a language barrier, people will find other forms of communication. B. Everybody uses only one form of communication. C. Nonlinguistic language is often used by tourists. D. People use different forms of communication. 47. Which form of communication except oral speech could the blind likely use? A. Picture signs B. Body language C. Braille D. Signal flags 48. How many forms of communication are mentioned in the passage? A. 5 49. All the following forms of communication can be used internationally except . A. body language B. Braille C. sign language D. spelling 50. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Language is one of the forms of communication used by all people. B. Ideas and thoughts can be expressed by speech only. C. There are many forms of communication in existence today. D. Only blind people understand sign languages. Passage Three ―Pin the Tail on the Donkey‖ is always fun—when you are watching rather than pinning. It is comical and somewhat surprising to see how the blindfolded performers act. Instead of going strait, they always wander off to one side or the other. The greater the distance to the donkey, the farther they go astray. Have you ever wondered why they are unable to walk straight ahead? It is a well-known fact that a person will move in a circle when he cannot use his eyes to control his direction. Pitch-black nights, dense fogs, blinding snowstorms, thick forests—all these can keep a traveler from seeing where he is going. Then he is unable to move in any fixed direction, but walks in circles. One of these stories tells of three travelers who got lost on a snowy night. They left a woodman’s hut and set out for their home, which was on the other side of a valley about three miles wide. They started in the proper direction, but without knowing it they soon swerved from their original path. By the time they should have reached home, they were back at the hut instead. Undaunted(顽强，不惧怕), they started out once more, with the same result. Four times they set out on a course straight across the valley. Each time they came back to the very same hut, as though under some magic spell. Finally the tired travelers gave up and waited at the hut until daybreak. Usually a man walking will ―watch his step‖ and ―look where he is going‖. He needs his senses, especially his eyes, to guide his steps, he will walk straight only if he takes a step of the same length with each foot. In most people, however, muscle development is not the same in both legs, so that it is probable that the steps will be uneven. The difference may be so small that no one is aware of it . But small as it is, it can cause circular movement. 51. The word ―comical‖ in line 2, can be replaced by________________. A. funny B. cosmic C. tragic D. frightening 52. According to the passage, who enjoys more fun from the game ―Pin the Tail on the Donkey‖? A. The looker-on. B. The blind-folded performer. C. The donkey. D. The traveler. 53. The three travelers started in the proper direction_______________. A. and reached their respective homes before daybreak B. but got lost in different places C. but returned to the same hut where they had started D. but came back to the same hut on purpose 54. It can be inferred from this passage that a man can walk straight when blinded__________. A. if he has two strong legs B. if he wants to C. if his two legs have developed evenly D. if the difference between his left and right footsteps is small 55. Probably the best title of this passage would be_______________. A. Why We Walk in Circles B. Three Travelers Got Lost on a Snowy Night C. How to Pin the Tail on the Donkey D. Three Travelers and the Wood Hut Passage Four Although I think the United States generally has an excellent system of transportation, I do not think it does a good job of transporting people between cities that are only a few hundred miles apart. A person commuting between Detroit and Chicago or between San Francisco and Los Angeles, so called Strip Cities, may spend only a relatively short time in the air while spending several hours getting to and from the airport. This situation makes flying almost as time- consuming as driving. Moreover, airplanes use a lot of their fuel just getting into the air. They simply are not fuel-efficient on short trips. High speed trains may be an answer. One fairly new proposal for such a train is for something called a MAGLEV, meaning a magnetically levitated train. Maglevs will not actually ride on the tracks but will fly above tracks that are magnetically activated. This will save wear and tear on the tracks. These trains will be able to go faster than 150 miles per hour. At that speed, conventional trains have trouble staying on the tracks. As you can see, Maglevs offer exciting possibilities for the future. 56. What is the main topic of the talk? A. Energy conservation. B. Transportation of the future. C. Strip cities. D. Advantages of air transportation over railroads. 57. What problem faces commuters who travel between Strip Cities? A. A lack of available flights. B. Long delays at the airport. C. Boredom on long flights. D. Long trips to and from airports. 58. When are airplanes not fuel-efficient? A. On short trips. B. On long trips. C. When flying over cities. D. When flying at high altitudes. 59. How does a maglev operate? A. It uses nuclear energy. B. It rests on a cushion of pressurized air. C. It flies over magnetically activated tracks. D. It uses a device similar with engine. 60. According to the speaker, what is one advantage of the maglev? A. It is more comfortable than a conventional train. B. It doesnt require very much track maintenance. C. It doesnt remain in any station very long. D. It carries more passengers than a conventional train.

But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines. In general, these ―short sleepers‖ appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or work full or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear ―normal‖ or ―acceptable‖ to their friends and associates. When asked to recall their dreams, the ―short sleepers‖ did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away. The sleep patterns of the ―short sleepers‖ were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯 人). The ―long sleepers‖ were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall t heir dreams much better than did the ―short sleepers.‖ Many of the ―long sleepers‖ were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压 抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems. 1. According to the report, ______. A. many short sleepers need less sleep by nature B. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their work C. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day D. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood 2. Many ―short sleepers‖ are likely to hold the view that _____. A. sleep is a withdrawal from the reality B. sleep interferes with their sound judgement C. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine program D. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles 3. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers _____. A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of life B. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleep C. do not know how to relax properly D. are more unlikely to run into mental problems 4. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might _____. A. appear disturbed B. become energetic C. feel dissatisfied D. be extremely depressed 5. Which of the following is Not included in the passage? A. If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened B. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the same as those shown by many mental patients C. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep D. Short sleepers would be better off with more rest 答案:DCBAB Passage 2 Now 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 of which the eyes stop—the duration of the fixation—varies considerably from person to person. It also varies 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. 1. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ . A. one’s familiarity with the text B. one’s purpose in reading C. the length of a group of words D. lighting and tiredness 2. The author may believe that reading ______. A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation B. requires a reader to see words more quickly C. demands a deeply-participating mind D. demands more mind than eyes 3. 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 paragraph? A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted. B. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words. C. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading. D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words. 4. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time. B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training. C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading. eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text. 5. The tune of the author in writing this article is ________ A. critical B. neutral C. pessimistic D. optimistic 答案:CCCDA Passage 3 Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are encouraged, but not forced, to ―leave the nest‖ and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spouses (配偶) through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions, Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father’s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self–reliance and independence. 1. The writer discusses the marriage of young adults in order to show which of the following? A. They enjoy the freedom of choosing their spouses. B. They want to win the permission of their parents. C. They have a strong desire to become independent. D. They want to challenge the authority of their parents. 2. Most young adults in the get married for the sake of ____. A. love B. financial concern C. their parents D. family background 3. Based on the passage, it can be assumed that ______. A. American young adults are likely to follow the suit of their parents B. most American people never make major decisions for their children C. American young adults possess cultural values of independence D. once a young person steps into his twenties, he will leave his home permanently 4. A son is unwilling to work in his father’s business mainly because _____. A. he wishes to make full use of what he has learnt in school B. he wants to prove his independence C. he wishes to do the opposite of what his parents approve of D. he wants to show his love for his parents 5. The subject matter of this selection is _____. A. family values B. marriage arrangements C. the pursuit of a career D. decision making 答案:CACBA Passage 4 Cancer is feared by everyone. And this fear is reaching epidemic(流行性) proportions. Not the disease itself—there is no such thing as a cancer epidemic. Except for lung cancer, mostly caused by cigarette smoking, the incidence rates are leveling off, and in the case of some kinds of cancer are decreasing. But the fear of cancer is catching, and the country stands at risk of an anxiety, the earth itself is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen(致癌物). The ordinary, more or less scientific statement that something between 80 and 90 percent of all cancers are due to things in the environment is taken to mean that none of us will be safe until the whole environment is ―cleaned up ‖. This is not at all the meaning. The 80-percent calculation is based on the unthinkable differences in the incidence of cancer in various societies around the world—for example, the high proportion of liver cancer in Africa and the Far East, stomach cancer in Japan, breast cancer in Western Europe and North America, and the relatively low figures for breast cancer in Japan and parts of Africa and for liver cancer in America. These data indicate there may be special and specific environmental influences, largely based on personal life-style, that determine the incidence of various forms of cancer in different communities—but that is all the data suggest. The overall incidence of cancer, counting up all the cases, is probable roughly the same everywhere. 1. Which of the following is closest to meaning to the phrase ―leveling off‖? A. Became very popular. B. Reached its lowest level in popularity. C. Stopped being popular. D. Stopped increasing its popularity. 2. According to the passage, the incidence of cancer is generally believed _____. A. to be based on inactive life style B. to be due to anxiety C. to result from environmental influences D. to be caused by heavy smoking 3. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer’s opinion about the relationship between cancer and environment is_____. A. positive B. negative C. neutral D. approving 4. According to the passage, the writer seems to feel that_____. A. cancer risk is on the rise B. the whole earth resembles a huge carcinogen C. the risk of catching cancer is not so great as most people conceive D. cancer can be cured sooner or later 5. Which of the following would be the best TITLE for the passage? A. Cancer and Environment B. The Fear Caused by Cancers C. Data on Cancer Incidence D. Cancer and its Investigation 答案:DCBCA Passage 5 Until the 1980s, 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 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 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 th at 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 ―throw-away‖ youths who have been cast of their homes.
