Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: @k)J
i!7
The liberating effects of divorce have become a popular theme in the United States. Survey after survey shows Americans less inclined than they were a generation ago to value lifelong marriage. This trend is evident in almost all advanced nations, but nowhere else has family breakup been greeted by a greater public acceptance. A self-help book, Divorce and New Beginnings, notes the advantages of divorce: single parents can “develop their own interests, fulfill their own need. Money, even if limited, can be spent as they see fit.” According to one study, 80 percent of divorced women and 50 percent of divorced men say they are better off out of their marriages. M;b3-
i
But an uncomfortable and generally unacknowledged fact is that family disruption can create a deep division between parents’ interests and the interests of children. All too often the adult search for freedom conflicts with a child’s developmental needs for stability and harmony. Divorce is transforming the lives of American children. In the post-word WarⅡ generation, more than 80 percent of children grew up with both biological parents. Today only half will do so. Each year more than a million children experience family breakup about as many are born out of marriage. v4Rci^ 8
At the same time, the problems associated with family disruption have grown. Overall child well-being has declined, despite historically high public spending. The teen suicide rate has almost tripled. Youth crime has increased and become more violent. School performance has been poor. R`DzVBLl
Given such a dramatic impact on children’s lives, one might expect today’s divorce rate to be viewed more widely as a national crisis. Yet, those who argue that if poses a serious threat are dismissed as being pessimistic, unwilling to accept the new facts of life. The dominant view in the popular culture is that the changes in family structure are, on balance, positive. And until recently there was little hard evidence to confirm or dispute this assumption. ?<^8,H
Over the past two and half decades Americans have been conducting a vast natural experiment in family life. The results are becoming clear. Adults have benefited from the changes, but not children. Indeed, they may be the first generation to do worse psychologically and socially than its parents. sbX7VfAR`

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: [o(!/38"@=
For the layman, the criminal side of the legal system is in many ways the most familiar aspect. In fact, when you mention law or the legal system, the trappings of criminal justice—police, courtrooms, juries, trials, prisons and jails—spring naturally into people’s minds. The drama of the trial has fascinated people for centuries. Crime and punishment are front page news, and are the subject of hundreds of plays, movies, and books. `i(b%$|^&Z
So, what is a crime? Are there some acts which are crimes universally, that is, which every society defines as criminal? Yes and no. It would be hard to think of a society that did not forbid murder, the wrongful killing of another human being. But each society has its own definition of murder. Not every intentional killing is murder. A soldier can lawfully kill during wartime, citizens are allowed to kill in self-defense. Infanticide is murder, but abortion is not. In some societies, it is not murder to kill for revenge or to get rid of someone who has brought dishonor on the family. There are societies in which it is not a crime to kill baby girls or to dispose of old people who have outlived their usefulness. # }}6JM
Punishment, too, is variable. It depends mostly on how serious the crime is. Seriousness is not inherent in the criminal conduct, it is a social judgment. legally speaking, serious crimes are called felonies, less serious crimes are called misdemeanors. The exact line between them is a matter of legal definition. In California, a felony is a crime which can be punished by death or by a year or more in prison; all others are misdemeanors, except for some petty acts which are called offenses. Offenses carry less of a punishment than crimes and have less of a stigma. A history of parking tickets is not a criminal record. Pf%I6bVN9

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: }dMX1e1h8
Although the legal systems of England and the Unite States are superficially similar, they differ profoundly in their approaches to and uses of legal reasons: substantive reasons are more common than formal reasons in the United States, whereas in England the reverse is true. This distinction reflects a difference in the visions of law that prevail in the two countries. In England the law has traditionally been viewed as a system of rules; the United States favors a vision of law as an outward expression of the community’s sense of right and justice.
)
] Ro
Substantive reasons, as applied to law, are based on moral, economic, political, and other considerations. There reasons are found both “in the law” and “outside the law,” so to speak. Substantive reasons inform the content of a large part of the law: constitutions, statutes, contracts, verdicts, and the like. Consider, for example, a statute providing that “no vehicles shall be taken into public parks.” Suppose that no specific rationales or purposes were explicitly written into this statute, but that it was clear (from its legislative history) that the substantive purpose of the statute was to ensure quiet and safety in the park. Now suppose that a veterans’ group mounts a World War Ⅱ jeep (in running order but without a battery) as a war memorial on a concrete slab in the park, and charges are brought against its members. Most judges in the United States would find the defendants not guilty because what they did had no adverse effect on park quiet and safety. r|u R!=*|?
Formal reasons are different in that they frequently prevent substantive reasons from coming into play, even when substantive reasons are explicitly incorporated into the law at hand. For example, when a document fails to comply with stipulated requirements, the court may render the document legally ineffective. A will requiring written witness may be declared null and void and, therefore, unenforceable for the formal reason that the requirement was not observed. Once the legal rule-that a will is invalid for lack of proper witnessing-has been clearly established, and the legality of the rule is not in question, application of that rule precludes from consideration substantive arguments is favor of the will’s validity or enforcement. >)*d/ ^
Legal scholars in England and the United States have long bemused themselves with extreme examples of formal and substantive reasoning. On the one hand, formal reasoning in England has led to wooden interpretations of statutes and an unwillingness to develop the common law through judicial activism. On the other hand, freewheeling substantive reasoning in the United States has resulted in statutory interpretations so liberal that the texts of some statutes have been ignored altogether. *5s*-^'#!
