Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, 13, C or D. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet 1. Text 1 The Catholic Church is changing in America at its most visible point: the parish church where believers pray, sing and clasp hands across pews to share the peace of God. Today there are fewer parishes and fewer priests than in 1990 and fewer of the nation’s 65 million Catholics in those pews. And there’s no sign of return. Some blame the explosive 2002 clergy sexual abuse scandal and its financial price tag. But a study of 176 Roman Catholic dioceses shows no statistically significant link between the decline in priests and parishes and the is 772 million the church has spent to date on dealing with the scandal. Rather, the changes are driven by a constellation of factors: Catholics are moving from cities in the Northeast and Midwest to the suburbs, South and Southwest. For decades, so few men have become priests that one in five dioceses now can’t put a priest in every parish. Mass attendance has fallen as each generation has become less religiously observant. Bishopstrained to bless, not to budgetlack the managerial skills to govern multimillion dollar institutions. All these trends had begun years before the scandal piled on financial pressures to cover settlements, legal costs, care and counseling for victims and abusers. The Archdiocese of Boston, epicenter of the crisis, sold chancery property to cover is 85 million in settlements last year, and this year will close 67 churches and recast 16 others as new parishes or worship sites without a full-time priest. Archbishop Sean O’Malley has said the crisis and the reconfiguration plan are in no way related. He cites demographic shifts, the priest shortage and aging, crumbling buildings too costly to keep up. Fargo, N. D. , which spent $ 821,000 on the abuse crisis, will close 23 parishes, but it’s because the diocese is short of more than 50 priests for its 158 parishes, some with fewer than a dozen families attending Mass. They know how this feels in Milwaukee. That archdiocese shuttered about one in five parishes from 1995 to 2003. The city consolidations gave some people who had been driving back into the city from new homes in the suburbs a chance to say they had no loyalty to a new parish and begin going to one near their home, says Noreen Welte, director of parish planning for the Milwaukee Archdiocese. It gave some people who already were mad at the church for one reason or another an excuse to stop going altogether. ’The "reconfiguration plan'(Para. 4) probably refers to（）A. selling the Church property.B. covering the cost of settlements.C. shutting and remolding churches.D. keeping up crumbling buildings.37.Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Part A Directions: Read the following four texts.
