5.When American soldiers return home from war with disabilities,they often suffer twice-first from their combat injuries,next from the humiliation (羞辱)of government dependency.
Wounded veterans (老兵)learn they have two basic choices:They can receive almost $3,000 a month in disability benefits along with medical care and access to other various welfare programs,or they can try to find a job.Especially in this economy,it's no wonder that many find that first option hard to turn down.
Mark Duggan,an economics professor at Stanford University,reports that enrollment in U.S.veterans'disability programs rose from 2.3 million in 2001 to 3.9 million in 2014.The percentage of veterans receiving benefits doubled,from 8.9% in 2001 to 18% in 2014.Disability services for veterans now consume $59 billion.
In the 1980s and 1990s,male veterans were more likely to be in the labor force than nonveterans.But since 2000,that has changed dramatically.Now there is a 4% gap between veteran and nonveteran labor participation,with veteran participation lower.
Navy SEAL Eric Greitens,founder of The Mission Continues,explains how soldiers who served their country are transformed into welfare receivers who live off their country.
"When veterans come home from war they are going through a tremendous change in identity,"he says."Then the United States Department of Veterans Affairs,and others,encourage them to view themselves as disabled."By the time they come to Greitens'non-profit organization,"We meet a number of veterans who see themselves as charity cases and are not sure anymore what they have to contribute."
There are also more practical factors driving the disability boom.One is the expansion of qualification criteria.In 2000,for instance,type 2 diabetes was added as a disability because of evidence linking exposure to Agent Orange with the onset of the disease.Heart disease has also been added to the list.
Another possible factor is that younger veterans seem less against welfare than their parents'generation.Veterans who have served since the 1990s are much more likely to sign up for disability than their older counterparts; 1 in 4 younger veterans is on disability versus just 1 in 7 of those over age 54.
We shouldn't go back to the bad old days when veterans were afraid to admit weakness.But Lt.Col.Daniel Gade is one of many veterans who think our disability system is harmful,psychologically,to former soldiers.Gade lost his leg in combat in 2005 and now teaches at West Point.He recently gave a talk to disabled veterans at Ft.Carson,in which he urged them to rejoin the workforce.
"People who stay home because they are getting paid enough to get by on disability are worse off,"he warned."They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol.They are more likely to live alone."
What a waste of human potential,especially since most veterans on disability still have their prime working years ahead of them when they're discharged (遣退).
We could solve this problem by changing the way we view-and label-veterans with disabilities.As Gade noted in a recent article,"Veterans should be viewed as resources,not as damaged goods."He recommended that"efforts to help veterans should begin by recognizing their abilities rather than focusing only on their disabilities,and should serve the ultimate aim of moving wounded soldiers to real self-sufficiency."
On a more practical note,the United States Department of Veterans Affairs could reallocate resources to spend more on job training and less on disability.Current placement programs are sadly inadequate.
We are good at sending soldiers off to war.Yet when these young men and women return home,they are essentially told,"We'll give you enough for a reasonably comfortable life,but we won't help you find a job."
It is unreasonable that we are condemning thousands of young veterans who served their country to life on the dole (救濟金) rather than enabling them to reenter the workforce with the necessary accommodations.

35.What do more and more disabled veterans appear to do nowadays?A
A.Depend on the government for a living.
B.Be treated badly in most workplaces.
C.Ask the government for more dole.
D.Spend more time on job hunting.
36.How does Mark Duggan prove his opinion in the passage?A
A.By listing figures.
B.By giving examples.
C.By performing experiments.
D.By analyzing cause and effect.
37.What did veterans use to do in the 1980s and 1990s?B
A.Refuse to find jobs.
B.Be a main labor resource.
C.Have much trouble finding jobs.
D.Receive many disability benefits.
38.One of the reasons why there are more disabled veterans is thatC.
A.damage from the war is greater than ever
B.veterans have suffered much more than ever
C.the scale of disabilities has been broadened
D.older veterans aren't afraid to admit their disability
39.In Gade's opinion,the veterans who receive welfare from the government tend toB.
A.save more trouble for the government
B.lead a miserable and unhappy life
C.increasingly depend on the government
D.suffer the humiliation of their combat injuries
40.What is the author's attitude toward current placement programs?D
A.Reasonable.B.Positive.C.Neutral.D.Critical.

18.In 1978,I was 18and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270km away from Sydney,Australia.I was looking forward to having five days off from duty.Unfortunately,the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left.So I thought I'd hitch a ride (搭便車).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me.Finally,a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon.He said that although he couldn't give me a lift,I should come back to his house for lunch.He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry.I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使…放心)me I was safe,and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards.When we arrived at his house,he made us sandwiches.After lunch,he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later,in 2003,while I was driving to a nearby town one day,I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat,trying to hitch a ride.I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I'd been given decades earlier.I pulled over and picked him up.I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk,the man said to me,"You haven't changed a bit,even your red hair is still the same."I couldn't remember where I'd met him.He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago.It was Gordon.
63.The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978becauseD.

C.she was going to the nearby town      
D.she wanted to repay the favor she once got
66.What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A
A.Giving sometimes produces nice results.
B.Those who give rides will be rapid.

2.Most people feel lonely sometimes,but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours.This kind of loneliness is not serious.In fact,it is quite normal.For some people,though,loneliness can last for years.(36)DThe first kind of loneliness doesn't last long.This is the most common type.(37)CThe second kind is situational,it is a natural result of a particular situation.For example,family problem,the death of loved one,or moving to a new place.Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems,such as headaches and sleeplessness,it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most serious.(38)FPeople who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others.Unfortunately,many of them think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts.(39)E
 For instance,our families give us emotional support,our parents and teachers give us guidance,and our friends share similar interests and activities.However,psychologists have found that,though lonely people may have many social contacts,they sometimes feel they should have more.They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons:they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between habitual loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease,(40)B

A.we live in a big family and we love our family members.
B.while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad,and sometimes dangerous condition.
C.It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention.
D.Psychologits are studing this complex phenomenon,and have identified three different types of loneliness.
E.We depend on various people for different reasons.
F.Unlike the first two types,it usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.
G.a(chǎn)nd temporary and situational loneliness don't  need to pay attention to.

17.As for visiting Walt Disney World.People usually have trouble in arranging.The following will give you some practical suggestions on paying a valuable visit to the famous park.
When to go?
While it's always busy,Disney World is slightly slower between mid-January and March.It's summer when the visitors,combined with the heat and humidity(潮濕),are crowded.Your best choice is either early in the morning or late in the day---often you can enjoy more rides in the first or last two hours of the day than you can the entire rest of the day combined.
Where to stay?
The question:to stay on Disney World Resort property or not.Disney World offers three resort pricing:Deluxe(豪華的),Moderate,and Value,with good facilities and in-hotel attractions.That said,they all offer"Extra Magic Hours"(early access to the theme parks),guaranteed entry when the parks are over-crowded,and frequent shuttle service to the many attractions.Off-property hotels will have shuttle transfers,but often at less regular intervals,wasting more time in transport.You'll also need a rental car,which adds to the expense,making up for saving in the hotel rate.The"Magic Your Way Package"is a good value if you have a large family.
What to do?
Make use of the"Fast Pass",which,for no extra cost,allow you to insert your entrance ticket into a particular machine at the attraction and receive a schedule ride time a little later on.For example,use your Fast Pass ticket at a ride just before getting lunch.Once you're done eating,you can return to the ride and jump right on during the busiest time of day.At the Animal Kingdom,the animals are most active either early or late in the day,so plan accordingly.Thankfully this is fit for the least busy times of day in the park.Study the map of the park the night before to plan your visit.You'll save time by knowing where things are and where you're headed.
25.Visitors who use Fast Pass ticketsC.
A.will often be checked at the exit      
B.can get discounts on tickets
C.will have a well-planned ride time    
D.have to pay more for their tickets
26.It can be learned from paragraph 3thatA.
A.three types of resort pricing are offered by Disney World
B.every visitor will have a rental car for free
C.a(chǎn)ll the shuttle transfers are convenient for visitors
D.young couples are advised to take the Magic Your Way Package
27.The purpose of this text is toB.
A.introduce the Animal Kingdom
B.give tips on visiting Disney World
C.describe activities in Disney World
D.a(chǎn)dvertise attractions in Disney World.
