　　Part Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension ( 35 points)

　　Section A

　　Directions: There are two passages in this section. Read each passage and then answer the

　　questions given at the end of each passage.(2×10=20 points)

　　Passage one

　　Before, whenever we had wealth, we started discussing poverty. Why not now? Why is the

　　current politics of wealth and poverty seemingly about wealth alone? Eight years ago, when Bill

　　Clinton first ran for president, the Dow Jones average was under 3,500, yearly federal budget

　　deficits were projected at hundreds of billions of dollars forever and beyond, and no one talked

　　about the “permanent boom” or the “new economy.” Yet in that more straitened time, Clinton

　　made much of the importance of “not leaving a single person behind.” It is possible that similar

　　“compassionate” rhetoric might yet play a role in the general election.

　　But it is striking how much less talk there is about the poor than there was eight years ago,

　　when the country was economically uncertain, or in previous eras, when the country felt flush.

　　Even last summer, when Clinton spent several days on a remarkable, Bobby Kennedy-like

　　pilgrimage through impoverished areas from Indian reservations in South Dakota to ghetto

　　neighborhoods in East St. Louis, the administration decided to refer to the effort not as a poverty

　　tour but as a “new markets initiative.”

　　What is happening is partly a logical, policy-driven reaction. Poverty really is lower than ithas been in decades, especially for minority groups. The most attractive solution to it—a growing

　　economy—is being applied. The people who have been totally left out of this boom often have

　　medical, mental or other problems for which no one has an immediate solution. “The economy has

　　sucked in anyone who has any preparation, any ability to cope with modern life,” says Franklin D.

　　Raines, the former director of the Office of Management and Budget who is now head of Fannie

　　Mae. When he and other people who specialize in the issue talk about solutions, they talk

　　analytically and long-term: education, development of work skills, shifts in the labor market,

　　adjustment in welfare reform.

　　But I think there is another force that has made this a rich era with barely visible poor people.

　　It is the unusual social and imaginative separation between prosperous America and those still left

　　out…. It’s simple invisibility, because of increasing geographic, occupation, and social berriers

　　that block one group from the other’s view.
 

　　41. The main idea of the passage is that ______.

　　A. The county is enjoying economic growth

　　B. The poor are benefiting from today’s good economy

　　C. in the past we were more aware of the poor than we are today

　　D. in the past there were many more poor people than there are today
 

　　42. In line 5 of the 1st paragraph, the word “straitened” means “______.”

　　A. wealthy B. difficult C. apathetic D. tensional
 

　　43. From this passage, we can conclude that ______.

　　A. the relationship between the rich and the poor has changed

　　B. the good economy will soon end

　　C. poverty will be removed as a result of increased wealth

　　D. all people benefit from good economic conditions
 

　　44. According to the author, one important reason that we do not talk much about poverty is that

　　______.

　　A. no one knows what to do about it

　　B. poverty really is lower than in the past

　　C. no one has been left out of the current boom

　　D. the president is not concerned about the poor
 

　　45. The main purpose of writing this passage is to .

　　A. entertain B. tell a story C. describe D. persuade
