Question

19．More than half of young black men in the United States do not finish high school．Many grow up without fathers and in neighborhoods with gangs，drugs and violence．Sixty percent of those who drop out of school have spent time in prison by the age of thirty-five．
Joe Marshall co-founded the Omega Boys Club in San Francisco，California，twenty-three years ago．Mr．Marshall tries to give boys-and girls-a safe refuge and a chance at a better future．Every week，he has two basic messages for his young students："Stop the violence"and"Don't do drugs．"
Mr．Marshall taught math in middle school and expected to see his best students go to college．
He got a lot of horror stories-a lot of his former students ended up dead or in prison for selling drugs，being involved in gangs，and girls ended up getting pregnant（懷孕）．
The Omega Boys Club serves more than four hundred young people every year．Two times a week，it offers after-school classes in math，reading，family and life skills，and college preparation．
Joe Marshall sees gangs and violence as a disease that needs to be dealt with as a public health problem．"That's what these young people get．They develop a street mentality-anger，fear and pain．Then we tell them to follow some new rules for living that will decrease their chances of ending up dead or in prison and increase their chances dramatically of staying alive and free．"
But his most effective way to spread his anti-violence message is through radio．In 1991，Joe Marshall started"Street Soldiers，"a weekly call-in show．Marlena，one of the graduates of the Omega Boys Club，is at Southern University right now，going into her third year．She talked about what she had learned by coming to Omega，by listening to"Street Soldiers，"and she said she had learned how to love herself．
The club provides guidance and financial assistance to help students stay in school．Over ninety percent of members who were accepted into college have graduated．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了美國存在的一個社會問題--有一半多的年輕黑人不能完成學業(yè)，過早地淪入社會，接觸槍支毒品和暴力．一位中學教師Mr．Marshall成立Omega Boys Club，幫助美國黑人重塑人生．

解答 41．D；主旨大意題．文中主要講述的是Omega Boys Club是如何幫助美國黑人青年重塑人生的，D項最能概括文章大意．
42．A；推理判斷題．倒數(shù)第二段提到Marlena在南方大學上學，正要進入大三．她通過Omega Boys Club和"Street Soldiers"節(jié)目，已經學會了如何自愛，這表明該俱樂部的做法比較成功．
43．D；細節(jié)理解題．由倒數(shù)第二段的前兩句可知，"Street Soldiers"是一個廣播節(jié)目，故選D項．
44．C；正誤判斷題．由第五段的第二句可知該俱樂部開設基本學科知識和生活技能方面的課程，故C項正確．

點評 本文是社會文化類閱讀，考查學生的細節(jié)理解把握和推理判斷能力，做題時要了解文章大意，分析句型，明確關聯(lián)關系，結合上下文判斷找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷，確定答案．
