28、ne through the center. 30 Who are the poor in the United States? As of 1970, nearly two-thirds of the poor people were white. Although nonwhites make up only one-third of those classified as poor, this reflects a great overrepresentation (过分代表 ) of their number because the nonwhites made up less tha

29、n 16 percent of the total population in 1970. Other categories (种类 ,类型 ) also help to define the poor. There are the aged poor. Almost one-fifth of all poor Americans are aged 65 or older. Another large segment of the poor in the United States is found in rural areas. Nearly one-fourth of all people

30、 living on farms in 1970 were classified as poor. Migrant workers and American Indians are included as part of the rural poor. But the greatest number of poor Americans is found in the cities. More than one-half of all single individuals whose income was below $ 3 000 in 1970 lived in urban areas, a

31、s did one-half of all four-person families with incomes below $ 6 000. Government officials have found it important to define who the poor are because each group has different needs. Different approaches are needed to help solve the problems of the poor. 31 According to the passage, all of the follo

32、wing are valid statements concerning the poor EXCEPT that_. （ A） many of the poor are old people （ B） many of the poor are foreigners （ C） many of the poor are nonwhites （ D） many of the poor live on farms 32 Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage? （ A） Poverty is the gre

33、atest problem facing the United States today. （ B） The American economy is the major reason that there are so many poor. （ C） Poverty is largely the result of ineffective government policies. （ D） The poor cannot be said to be one uniform group. 33 Many of_are the poor who live on farms. （ A） migran

35、ther （ C） of moving from one place to another; changing ones place of living, esp. for a limited period （ D） of going from place to place, esp. to a long distant place; making a journey 35 According to the passage, a single individual who earns_in 1970 is classified as a poor person. （ A） below $ 1

36、500 （ B） less than $ 6 000 （ C） more than $ 3 000 （ D） less than $ 3 000 35 By the year 2000 nearly half the workforce in Europe are over 40 and yet throughout Europe there is a deep ambivalence (犹豫 )if not outright suspiciontowards the capabilities of older workers. Those over the age of 40 general

37、ly take longer to find new employment, but European governments have done little to protect their employment rights. Only Germany, with incentives to business to encourage the employment of older people, and France, with the introduction of legislation making it illegal to use age barriers in recrui

38、tment or to make employees redundant because of their age have done anything substantive to combat age discrimination. Yet even in these two countries, there has been no noticeable improvement in the lot of the older workers; indeed, in France, job advertisements flout(轻视，反对 )the law openly by askin

39、g for applicants of a certain age. So, should France and Germany be tightening up their laws and should the rest of Europe follow suit? Bill Robbins, a careers consultant said, “Legislation against age discrimination has been in existence for well over ten year in the US and Canada, but has had no e

40、ffect. Employers will always be able to find some reasons for turning down an older applicant without appearing to break the law. “ Ironically, it was governments which played a leading role in hardening business culture against older workers in the first place. In the late 1970s, many European coun

41、tries were extremely concerned about the levels of youth unemployment, and France, Germany and Belgium even initiated incentive schemes for businesses to encourage older employees to take early retirement provided that younger trainees were taken on in their place. As more and more employees took ea

42、rly retirement, often willingly, a new, youth-oriented culture permeated business throughout most of Europeeven in those countries that had taken no active measures to promote it. Demographic(人口统计学的 ) trends mean that governments are now anxious to slow down the policy of early retirement as they re

43、alize that they simply do not have the funds to meet their pension promises. But reversing business attitudes is no easy matter. Dianah Worman a policy adviser said, “There is a widely held belief that older people are less adaptable and trainable. This is just not true: research has shown that diff

44、erences in capability are as wide within age groups as they are between them. “ 36 Which of the following words can best describe the European attitude to older workers? （ A） Dislike. （ B） Disapproval. （ C） Distrust. （ D） Disappointment. 37 France, US and Canada have all taken which of the following

45、 steps to discourage age discrimination? （ A） Encourage businesses to employ older people by offering rewards. （ B） Make age discrimination in respect of employment illegal. （ C） Enforce age discrimination laws strictly. （ D） Refuse to employ younger workers. 38 What did governments do to discourage

46、 the employment of older workers in the 1970s? （ A） Offer early retirement to all employees. （ B） Set specific age limits for employment. （ C） Only employ younger trainees. （ D） Offer incentives to businesses to take on younger employees. 39 Which of the following statements is NOT the cause for old

47、er workers problem in employment? （ A） Older peoples inability to adapt to new methods. （ B） Lack of protection offered by European governments. （ C） Advertisements specifying a desired age for applicants. （ D） Popular beliefs and attitudes favoring younger workers. 40 This passage is aimed to_. （ A

48、） create more job opportunities for older workers （ B） tell older workers how to solve their problems （ C） call for European governmentsconcern about older workersproblem （ D） reveal the importance of legislation against age discrimination 40 When TV news programs report wars or disasters, the edito

49、rs rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they dont want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they “may find some of these scenes disturbing“, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes the TV cameramen have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and
