题目解析：
The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’s population. 1 , homelessness has reached such proportions that local government can’t possibly 2 . 1．[A]Indeed [B]Likewise [C]Therefore [D]Furthermore 2．[A]stand [B]cope [C]approve [D]retain
1. 逻辑关系题 本题目选择逻辑关系词，前后两句的逻辑关系决定答案。句子叙述到 The homeless make up a growing percentage of America?s population. , homelessness has reached such proportions that…。“无家可归者在美国人口中占越来越大的比例。…无家可归者所占的 比例已经达到如此地步，以至于…。”
选项 A. indeed 一般表示强调；
B. likewise 表示与前者相似；选项 C. therefore 因此，强调结果；选项 D. furthermore 进一步说，表示递进。
不难发现，根据前一句“make up a growing percentage”与后一句“reach such proportion that”确定后者是对前者的例证强调。因此，正确答案为 A。
2. 词汇辨析题 本题目选择动词在定语从句中充当谓语。句子叙述到 homelessness has reached such proportions that local government can?t possibly . “无家可归者所占的比例已 经达到地方政府都无法…的地步。” 选项 A. stand 忍受；
B. cope vi. 处理，忍受； C. approve 赞成，批准； D. retain 保留。
不难发现，句子中“such proportion that local government can?t …”提供信息确定选择“忍 受，承受”之意。选项 A. stand 忍受，作为及物动词在句子中要直接连接宾语，但是句子 中没有宾语，因此该词不符合句子结构；选项 B. cope 处理，忍受，作为不及物动词，在句 子中表达完整的含义；选项 C. approve 赞成，批准，“批准”的应该是文件，句子中提到的 是无家可归者的数量问题，不能与“批准”连用；D. retain 保留，显然与“无家可归者的数 量”不能构成合理的主谓关系。因此，正确答案为 B。
To help homeless people 3 independence, the federal government must support job training programs, 4 the minimum wage, and fund more low-cost housing. 3．[A]in [B]for [C]with [D]toward 4．[A]raise [B]add [C]take [D]keep
3.词汇辨析题，本题目选择介词，选择介词与句子中的动词有直接关系。句子叙述到 To help
homeless people independence, the federal government must support job training programs,…. “为帮助无家可归者…独立，联邦政府必须提供就业培训项目…。” 选项 A. in 构成 help sb. in doing 帮助某人做某事；
B. for 构成 help sb. for 为…而帮助某人； C. with 构成 help sb. with sth. 帮助?做事；
D. toward 构成 help sb. toward 帮助?向某个方向发展。
不难发现，句子中“help homeless people independence” 提供信息确定选择“帮助? 向某个方向发展”之意。因此，正确答案为 D。
4. 词汇辨析题 本题目选择动词，所在句子的主语、宾语提供信息决定答案。句子叙述到 the federal government must support job training programs, the minimum wage, and fund more low-cost housing. “联邦政府必须提供就业培训项目,…最低工资标准，资助更多低收入家庭。” 选项 A. raise 增加，提高；
B. add 加；
C. take 拿来； D. keep 保留。
不难发现，句子中“ the minimum wage”与前面的短语“support job training program 提供就业培训项目”和后面的短语“fund more low-cost housing 资助更多低收入家庭”是并 列关系，是政府为无家可归者提供的服务。由此提供信息确定选择“提高”之意。选项 A. raise 增加，提高，“提高最低工资标准”，符合句子含义；选项 B. add 加，该词指数量的增加， 不符合句子含义；选项 C. take 拿来，该词不能与“最低工资标准”连用；选项 D. keep 保 留，“保留最低工资标准”，虽然这个短语意义完整，但是不能与前后的政府帮助无家可归者 的举动构成并列。因此，正确答案为 A。
5 everyone agrees on the numbers of Americans who are homeless. 5．[A]generally [B]almost [C]hardly [D]not
5. 语意辨析题 本题目选择副词，在句子中限定范围。句子叙述到 everyone agrees on the numbers of Americans who are homeless. “…每个人同意美国无家可归者的数量。” 选项 A. generally 一般来说；
B. almost 几乎；选项
C. hardly 几乎不?（常用倒装）；
D. not 置于句首表示部分否定，译为“并不是?”。 不难发现，由于本题包含反义选项，而上文又没有提示，因此应先把下一句中的第 6、
7 两题做出，本题的答案才会迎刃而解。第 6 题所在的语境句意为“人们对此的估计数字从 六十万到三百万不等”。而第 7 题又说“尽管这一数字可能不同，分析家们却在另外一件事 情上的确达成了一致意见”。因此，本题答案应选 D. Not，本句意思为“关于美国无家可归 者的数量，众说不一”。
Estimates 6 anywhere from 600,000 to 3 million. 7 the figure may vary, analysts do agree on another matter: that the number of the homeless is 8 . 6．[A]cover [B]change [C]range [D]differ 7．[A]Now that [B]Although [C]Provided [D]Except that 8．[A]inflating [B]expanding [C]increasing [D]extending
