Now the city plans to extend public access to the area adjoining Moon Walk in an ambitious design that will, the city hopes, be a part of its development for the next world's fair. This more ambitious concept for the waterfront will be likely to stir considerable debate as competing projects vie (竞争) for the opportunities for profit. The development will therefore require substantial participation, cooperation and scrutiny (详细审查) by citizens to make sure that while private profitability is maintained, the public's needs are satisfied, too.
The joint efforts of environmentalists, business-people, civic leaders and politicians have transformed abandoned, derelict (废弃的) port landscapes in cities throughout America into exciting commercial and recreational centers. Examples are the Cannery in San Francisco, the Riverfront Walk in San Antonio, Faneuil Hall Market in Boston and Harborplace in Baltimore.
It's easy to understand why the port areas were neglected. While many cities were growing up along rivers, lakes and natural harbors, depending on water-borne commerce, waterfronts thrived. After World War Ⅱ, however, technological changes in transportation— improved planes and airports, the interstate highway system, larger tracks for freight trains and containerized shipping--rendered many old port facilities obsolete. Waterfront areas became peripheral (外围的) to the life of the city. Piers were abandoned, and the waterfronts lay idle in many older cities, paralleling the more general urban decay.
With the 1970's came a period of reflection on this condition and a resurgence (苏醒) of urban pride. urban renewal stopped being a license for large-scale demolition (破坏); politicians and planners took a hard. look at their available resources and began to experiment with new development techniques. Waterfronts became one focus of the large urban revitalization effort.
The primary purpose of this passage is to describe ______.
A．business expansion of urban areas
B．Moon Walk in New Orleans
C．the causes of urban decay
D．the renewal of waterfront areas

The value of childhood is easily blurred(模糊)in today’s world．Consider some recent developments：The child-murderers in the Jonesboro，Ark Schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced．Two boys，7 and 8，were charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Chicago.
Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will．Yet，as legal．proceedings in Jonesboro showed，the one boy who was able to address the court couldn’t begin to explain his acts，though he tried to apologize．There may have been a motive—youthful jealousy and resentment．But a deeper question remains：Why did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner, moral restraint？
That question echoes for the accused in Chica90，young as they are．They wanted the girl’s bicycle，a selfish impulse common enough among kids．
Redemption(拯救)is a practical necessity．How can value be restored to young lives distorted by acts of violence？ The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time．Despite horror at what was done，children are not—cannot be—dealt with as adults，not if a people wants to consider itself civilized．That’s why politicians’ cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point．
But the moral void(真空)that invites violence has many sources．Family instability contributes．So does economic stress．That void，however, can be filled．The work starts with parents。Who have to ask themselves whether they’re doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong．Are they really monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought？
Schools，too，have a role in building character．So do youth organizations．So do law enforcement agencies，which can do more to inform. the young about laws，their meaning，and their observance(遵守)．
第36题：The two boys in Chicago were
A．shot．
B．murdered．
C．accused．

听力原文：W: Mr. Glieberman, do you see any change in the high rate of broken marriages？
M: The divorce rate is beginning to level off and probably will begin to drop in the next year or two, though not significantly.
W: Why is it so？
M: The tightened economy has made it more difficult for troubled couples to handle all the costs associated with setting up separate households.
W: Is there any other reason？
M:Yes. I believe there is a comeback of thought after the turbulent 60s and 70s that the family does have value. In the midst of change and family disintegration, people seem to have a greater desire now to create stability in their lives.
W: What is the divorce rate now？
M: About one in three marriages ends in divorce, a ratio far higher than it was twenty years ago when the philosophy was "we will tough it out no matter what". Society demands that for appearance's sake we stay together. Divorce no longer carries much disgrace.
W: Could you give us an example？
M: Yes. There is no way, for example, that Ronald Reagan, a divorced man, could have been elected president in 1960. And there are countless other divorced politicians who, years ago, would have been voted out of office if they had even considered a divorce, let alone gotten one. The same was true in the corporate structure where divorced people rarely moved up the executive ladder. Now corporations welcome a divorced man.
W: Why？
M: Because they can shift him around the country without worrying about relocating his family or making certain that they are happy.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. Which word best describes Mr. Glieberman's prediction of the change in the divorce rate？
20. What do people nowadays desire to do concerning their marriage？
21. Why did some people choose not to divorce 20 years ago？
22. What do we know about a divorced man in a company years ago from the conversation？
(23)
A．Rise.
B．Fall.
C．V-shape.
D．Zigzag.
