More than half of all Jews married in U . S. since 1990 have wed people who aren ' t Jewish . Nearly 480 , 000 American children under the age of ten have one Jewish and one non Jewish parent . And , if a survey compiled by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles is any indication , it ' s almost certain that most of these children will not identify themselves as " Jewish”when they get older .

　　That survey asked college freshmen , who are usually around age 18 , about their own and their parents ' religious identities . Ninety-three percent of those with two Jewish parents said they thought of themselves as Jewish . But when the father wasn ' t Jewish , the number dropped to 38 percent , and when the mother wasn ' t Jew , just is percent of the students said they were Jewish , too . "

　　I think what was surprising was just how low the Jewish identification was in these mixed marriage families . " Linda Sax is a professor of education at UCLA . She directed the survey which was conducted over the course of more than a decade and wasn’t actually about religious identity specifically. But Professor Sax says the answers to questions about religion were particularly striking, and deserve a more detailed study. She says it 's obvious that interfaith marriage works against the development of Jewish identity among children , but says it ' s not clear at this point why that ' s the case . "This new study is necessary to get more in-dept about their feelings about their religion . That ' s something that the study that I completed was not able to do . We didn’t ' t have information on how they feel about their religion , whether they have any concern about their issues of identification , how comfortable they feel about their lifelong goals . I think the new study ' s going to cover some of that , " she says ,

　　Jay Rubin is executive director of Hillel , a national organization that works with Jewish college students . Mr . Rubin says Judaism is more than a religion , it ' s an experience . And with that in rnind , Hillel has commissioned a study of Jewish attitudes towards Judaism . Researchers will concentrate primarily on young adults , and those with two Jewish parents , and those with just one , those who see themselves as Jewish and those who do not . Jay Rubin says Hillel will then use this study to formulate a strategy for making Judaism more relevant to the next generation of American Jews .

　　答案解析：

　　1 . 【答案】B

　　【 解析】 綜觀全文，整篇文章都在講述美國有猶太血統(tǒng)的人是否認為自己是猶太人這一問題，所以B 項正確。

　　2. 【答案】B

　　【解析】本題中，A 、C 、D 三項都與文章的意思不符。根據(jù)第二段的第一、二句" That survey asked college freshmen , who are usually around age 18 , about their own and their parents ' religious identities . Ninety-three percent of those with two Jewish parents Said they thought of themselves as Jewish. ”可知，調(diào)查表明雙親都是猶太人的新生中有93 %認為自己也是猶太人。因此B 項正確。

　　3. 【答案】C

　　【解析】本題中，短語“interfaith marriage ”與“mixed marriage ”的意思相近，即“不同宗教信仰者間的婚姻”，因此C 項正確。

　　4 . 【答案】B

　　【 解析】 本題中，A 項與文章第二段最后一句話的意思符合;C 項與文章第三段第八句話的意思相符;D 項與文章第三段第九句話相符。根據(jù)第二段第一句“That survey asked college freshmen , who are usually around age 18 , about their own and their parents’ religious : identities . ”可知，調(diào)查是針對加州大學所有新生進行的，而并非只調(diào)查猶太新生。所以B 的描述是錯誤的。

　　5. 【答案】D

　　【 解析】 本題中，A 、C 兩項明顯不對;B 項與文章的意思不符。根據(jù)最后一段第三句" And with that in mind , Hillel has Commissioned a study of Jewish attitudes towards Judaism . " Hillel 委托進行了一個調(diào)查，研究猶太人對猶太教的態(tài)度，所以D 項正確。

　　6. 【答案】 C

　　【 解析】 本文是對猶太人婚姻的客觀描述。
