阅读理解：Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised mainly older males

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

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 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 off 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 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.

31. In 1987, the American homeless population was made up of _____.

A) older males B) school children

C) adults D) both A and B

32. The author implies in the first paragraph that _____.

A) the homeless population is growing rapidly

B) there is serious shortage of school administrators and teachers

C) homeless children often move from place to place

D) homeless children usually stay outside schools

33. The National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are _____ homeless children.

A) 7000,000 B) 350,000

C) 440,000 D) 70,000

34. One part of the homeless population is difficult to count. The reason might be that _____.

A) homeless children live on the streets

B) homeless children have no parents

C) the homeless are too young to be counted as children

D) the homeless children are not taken as members of their families

35. The aim of the McKinney Act is to _____.

A) offer education for homeless children

B) provide family shelters for homeless children

C) reduce the number of homeless children

D) estimate the number of homeless population

Hawaii's native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty over its own affairs

. But much of the archipelago's political establishment, which includes the White Americans who dominated until the second world war and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea.

The islands were annexed by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii's native peoples have fared worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of the state's homeless, suffer higher levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians. They are the only major US native group without some degree of autonomy.

But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii's first native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives' cause a major boost be recommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whether to re-establish a sovereign Hawaiian nation.

However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want greater autonomy with the state—as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is a position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent to natives' interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious in the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the US.

But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count as native those people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood.

Native demands are not just based on political grievances, though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares of Hawaiian crown land to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA USS 136 million in back rent on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.

Hawaii's native minority refers to ______.

A．people of Filipino origin

B．the Ka Lahui group

C．people with 50% Hawaiian blood

D．Hawaii's ethnic groups

听力原文：The problem of the homeless has become very serious in the United States. Almost

听力原文： The problem of the homeless has become very serious in the United States. Almost in every community, you can find homeless people. An ironical case is: in November, 1993, a woman died on a street in Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, and she died at a bus-stop across the street from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

People become homeless for various reasons. Some may not be able to pay for the housing they used to have, because they have lest their job and cannot find another place they can afford. Others have mental disorders, or are addicted to drags or alcohol, and there are not enough centres to care for them.

As ways to help these people, the federal government and many communities have set up all kinds of projects. Some programs include permanent housing, training for jobs and treatment for people who are addicted to drugs or alcohol. Some communities have opened centers that offer services for as many as 700 people. The homeless can stay as long as they want.

People are making efforts to solve the problem. However, it will not be easy, because it is a personal and economic problem as well as a social problem.

(33)

A．She died across from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

B．US Department of Housing and Urban Development threw the dead woman out onto the street.

C．She died in Washington D.C., the nation's capital.

D．No one cared about the homeless woman.
