36、r kids when she got a divorce. Her daughter says, “ I was feeling like down and sad even though I didnt really show it.Judith Wallerstein says problems from divorce can last many years. They can show up when the kids are adults. And the kids have their own trouble. Wallerstein studied 93 children ov

37、er a generation. The results can be found in her book.She says that children of divorce are more likely to have problems with drugs. They are far more likely to seek therapy. About 40 percent of them avoid marriage themselves. When they do marry, fail at nearly twice the usual rate. It is hard for t

38、hem to trust. They are afraid of failing.Critics say Wallerstein had too few children in her study. They think that Wallerstein stresses too much from a small study. Other things may be the cause of the kids problem. The study does not compare kids from divorced families with kids from “healthy” fam

39、ilies.Wallersteins families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed. People feel different about divorce. Today programs like Kids Turn try to reduce some of the effects of divorce with family advice. Talking about their feelings helps the kids get though it. Since they know more about the pro

40、blem, maybe the kids will be able to handle it.71. Which word can best describe the kids from divorced families according to Paragraph 1?A. Offensive B. Relieved C. Depressed D. Prejudiced72.

44、st four years the job market has changed dramatically. This years college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of san Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people alr

45、eady working are getting laid off and dont have jobs, so its even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of . There were many high-tech (“dotcom”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with

46、high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. Its a new market.” according to an officer of the university.The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several sh

51、g jobs are well-paid.B. He majored in teaching in the university.C. College teaching is less challenging than high-tech jobs.D. College teaching career wont be influenced by economy.70. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A. the value of a college degree has decreased now.B. new college grad

52、uates today cant find jobs.C. a college degree can still lead to a good job.D. graduates must prepare early to find jobs.Passage 3The water we drink and use is running short in the world.

53、eusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, j

54、ust as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans.

The recently p

59、ublished book, Young Soldier, Why They Choose to Fight By Rachel Brett and Irma Specht, tries to find an answer.There is no doubt that children fight in most armed conflicts today. While international attention focuses largely on those who are forced into battles, thousands more enlist (应征入伍) volunt

60、arily.In an attempt to to understand the young who take up arms, Brett and Specht interviewed 53 boy and girl soldiers and ex-soldiers from around the world, Afghanistan , Colombia, the Republic of the Congo for example. All interviewees were involved with armed forces or armed groups before the age

61、 of 18 and all classified themselves as volunteers.What these two field officers heard is “I joined involuntarily- if you have nothing, you volunteer for the army”.
