參考答案【正確答案：D】
判斷題。由第六段 They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of theteenagers and adults have not completed high school. 第七段 One third of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol, while one quarter of the same group uses drugs. 第八段 Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent “home”.可以看出，成為無(wú)家可歸者的原因是：沒有接受過(guò)足夠的教育、酗酒和吸毒惡習(xí)以及一些精神病院的關(guān)閉。文章沒有提及經(jīng)濟(jì)是否蕭條，故D選項(xiàng)是正確答案。
