According to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days, Although technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem,
The homeless population represents all of us Americans, It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic (种族的) groups. What they have in common is poverty.
Currently in the U.S., thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you can’t pay the rent with food stamps.
With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative.
Although men constitute the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the U.S. are teenagers and young children.
People may become homeless for numerous reasons. However there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common. They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high school.
The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor. One third of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol, while one quarter of the same group uses drugs.
Some members of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many institutions for the menially ill have been closed and their patients sent "home". Unfortunately, a number of those people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves.
Job loss in today’s economy has also become a real factor in the loss of people’s homes. The breakup of families through abandonment and divorce are also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involved. The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads.
选项
A、an insincere attitude toward the homeless
B、an unbearable attitude toward the homeless
C、an uncivilized attitude toward the homeless
D、an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless
答案
D
解析
参见第一段:According to the United States government,…that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem.按照美国政府的观点,……虽然从技术上是准确的,但是这应该是一个巨大的非个人的同情心问题。在这里,human意思是“同情心”。本题需要考生从原文中推断出作者的观点,也就是通常所说的话外音。作者观点一般会出现在首段或结尾段(本题首段点题),考生在解答此类问题时应该注意这样的信号词,如although,but,however等。
