In 1914 Sanger Was charged(52)violation of the Comstock Law, which federal legislation had passed in 1873 forbidding the mailing of sexy material(53)information about birth control and contraceptive (避孕的) devices. Though she was put in jail for these activities, Sanger(54)to publish and spread information about birth control. She and her sister Ethel Byrne opened the first of several birth control clinics in America on October 16, 1916, in Brooklyn, New York.
The Comstock Law was rewritten by Congress in 1936 to(55)birth control information and devices. Many states had laws forbidding distribution or use of contraceptive devices but the constitutionality (合宪性) of these laws was increasingly(56). In 1965, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that married people have the right to practice birth control without government intervention. In 1972, the court(57)that unmarried people have the same right.

This study(65)the view of people in the United States who argue that sex education or making contraceptive supplies available to school-age children promotes sexual activity.

听力原文： It seems like almost everyone buys or sells goods at yard sales in the United States. People place used personal or household goods for sale outside their homes (30) .
The LT. S. one Twenty-Seven Corridor Sale is known as the World's Longest Yardsale. It began in 1987. The event's headquarters is in Jamestown, Tennessee. A former local official, Mike Walker, came up with the idea (31) . He thought it would bring people to the area and show them that small country roads have a lot to offer. Others agreed. They wanted people to consider traveling on these roads instead of the popular interstate system.
Every year, the four-day sale begins on the first Thursday in August. So August 7th of this year marks the opening of the twenty-first World's Longest Yardsale. The event now crosses five states--Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.
Tens of thousands of sellers take part. Some people who live along or near Route one Twenty-seven simply place their goods for sale in front of their house. Others use nearby public spaces, like parks. People sell everything and anything at the sale: furniture, clothing, toys, books and music. You can also find sporting goods, farm equipment, tools and art. And, lots of other things (32) . Tens of thousands of people from across the country drive along the road in search of interesting things to buy. Route one Twenty-Seven becomes crowded with vehicles.
(31)
A．They are places for people to exchange their goods.
B．They are places for residents to heap the useless things.
C．They are sales set for residents to sell and buy used things.
D．They are sales set by stores to put their goods on sale.
Text 4
As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants in to American society.
The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, Unions, churches, and other agencies.
Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were one such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home.
Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women. American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early twentieth-century, United States. However, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.
36. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of education in the United States was ______.
A) the growing number of schools in frontier communities
B) an increase in the number of trained teachers
C) the expanding economic problems of schools
D) the increased urbanization of the entire country
First, the only serious recessions in which US unemployment rose to highs of 9 percent and 11 percent re【73】, came after fairly high inflation. Second, even recessions of that depth later on t【74】out to be less painful than had been expected because they were short. This was because the a【75】American worker had substantial assets, and was likely to he in a family with more than one worker.
【76】remains as the chief uncertainty about the stability of the US economy is the possibility of inflation. This depends on whether the temptation of the short-term political advantages of inflationary policy can be resisted. The inflation rate in the United States was about 4.5 percent. The economy is much better ad【77】to such a rate now than it was in 1971, when that rate caused the【78】(position) of price controls. Unemployment in America was r【79】near 5.25 percent. That is somewhat higher than used to be considered full employment, but it is not a serious figure, as haft of the unemployed are out of work for five weeks or less, and the average d【80】of unemployment is about twelve weeks. The problem today is serious in that it most affects black youths, who are not being brought into the work force.
