Immigration and Problems

Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the US filled the streets all over America
in early 2006.Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens一not criminals.Many
of these people supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immi-
grants who were already in the country illegally.Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter
measures一including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home
countries.
Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise.Some want to keep the doors open.
They need the labor. About 400,000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005,according to the
Canadian Government statistics.However,all this growth means that cities need to adapt.New-corners don't
always make a smooth transition into jobs at which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring(辅导)
programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs.
With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing
no sign of abating(减少), the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass
amnesties(特赦)for illegals,and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back,the govern-
ment has announced. About 23 ,000 migrants(移民)landed on the islands in 2006 , and riots have enipted ir
some crowded reception centers.This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help.
France's new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to encourage high-skillec
migration.It took effect in 2007.The new law authorizes the government to identify particular profession,
where France has a talent shortage.Then the government will help these identified employers find immigran
workers with needed skills or qualifications.The selected foreign employees will be granted"skills and talents'
visas,valid for three years.But some people show the concern that. it'll cause brain drain in developing countries.

Canada is not very strict with immigration applications because____________.
A:it is a large country
B:it is suffering from labor shortage
C:its population is decreasing
D:it is a multicultural country

    The Beginning of American Literature



    America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth

    century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from

    poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that

    hope.When,however,does American literature begin?

    American literature begins with Amnerican experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before

    Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,Native Americans

    lived here. Each trilbe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daiiy life and reflected the unmistakably

    American experience of lining with the land。Anoiher kind of experience,one filled with fear and excite-

    ment,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain,French and

    English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilderness tell

    unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.

    Experience,then,is the key to early American literature.The New World provided a great variety of

    experiences,and these experiences deniauded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early

    American writers.These wnters included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American

    continent.They included Jonathlan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British sub-

    jects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.

    American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners一they are all the creators

    of the first American literature.

    The main purpose of the last paragraph is to tell the readers that_____________.
    A:in the early days most American writers were from Great Britain
    B:people with rich life experience became writers
    C:there were many writers in the early days of American history
    D:early-day experience provided the foundation for American literature

    答案:D
    解析:
    首先找到“that hope”在文章中的位置:就是指第一段第二句中“…a genuine hope of a new life,”意思是:开始新生活的真诚希望。故选B。

    从第二段第二句可知:很早以前,本上美国人就居住在这里。既然前一句说“美国文学 产生于美国人的生活经历”,由此可知美国文学产生于很早以前就居住这里的本土美国人的 生活经历。故选D。

    由文章第一二段第三句话“Each tribe' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land.”可知,从美洲土著 部落的文学中,我们可以找到他们日常生活的写照。

    文章最后一段的第一句“Experience, then, is the key to early American literature.”是本 段的主题句,说的是:经历是早期美国文学的关键因素。

    文章最后一段中“These writers included Johon Smith , who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of them- selves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”意思是:这些文学家包括仅在美洲居住两年半的约翰·史密斯,还 有约翰逊·爱德华和维廉姆·白伊德。这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会 创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见,一些英国作家对 美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。

    A New Citizenship Test

    1 Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship(公民身份)exam was released by the
    US Citizenship and Immigration Services(US-CIS).It will be tried out in 10 cities early next
    year to replace the current test in 2008.Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has,
    as the current test does,the new one asks why there are 13 stripes.Instead of having to
    name the branches of government,an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.
    2 "The goal is to make it more meaningful,"explains Emilio Gonzalez,director of the US-
    CIS.Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better"understanding and respect"for
    US civic(公民的)values, Gonzalez says.
    3 The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a"shared
    commitment"from immigrants for their adopted country's"values".In recent years,in
    addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status,several
    European countries have adopted citizenship tests.Britain introduced a new citizenship test
    last November.In March,a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to
    take a citizenship test.It involved watching a video showing nude(裸体的)women bathing
    at beaches and gay(同性恋的)men kissing in public.The aim was to ensure that
    "newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores(风俗)".
    4 Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades.But,today,the fact is
    that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile to
    each other.Promoting integration has become a major concern for European countries,after
    the rioting in Muslim ghettoes(少数民族聚居区)in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by
    religious extremists.

    knowledge of the country.However,some critics say that the changes can do little to help

    test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?"says Ali Noorani,of the

    Immigration and Problems

    Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the US filled the streets all over America
    in early 2006.Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens一not criminals.Many

    推断题。由第七段第四、五句“事实上,联邦政府声称它不想执行国会的意愿,它也有权阻止各州这么做。每位大法官理所当然对此惊人言论表示反对”可知,法官们极度反对政府滥用职权,通过投反对票对其加以限制,故B项“法官们准备限制联邦政府的权力”是正确答案。A项“移民问题常由国会决定”和C项“法官们想要加强与国会的合作”均未提及,属于过度推断。D项“联邦政府在移民问题上占主导地位”是断章取义的表述,故错误。故本题选B。参考译文:周一,美国最高法院以五比三的投票结果否定了亚利桑那州移民法中的大部分条款——这是奥巴马政权在政策方面的一个小小胜利。但在涉及宪法这个更重要的问题上,最高法院以全部8票挫败了奥巴马政权在打乱联邦政府和各州政府的权力平衡问题上所做的努力。在亚利桑那州与联邦政府的这场较量中,大多数法官推翻了亚利桑那州四条有争议的移民法案中的三条,该法案允许州政府和当地警察执行联邦移民法。《宪法》规定,只有华盛顿才有权“建立全国统一的归化条例”;联邦法先于州法,这些原则都是无可争议的。而亚利桑那州在试图制定一个与现行联邦政策并行的州政策。最高法院大法官安东尼·肯尼迪裁定亚利桑那州在制定政策时挑战联邦政府的权威,首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨和法院中的自由党派与他持相同观点。针对被推翻的条款,多数人认为国会已经慎重“占领这块领地”,而亚利桑那州也因此而侵犯联邦政府的特权。然而,大法官们认为亚利桑那州的警察有权鉴定执法人员的合法身份。这是因为国会一直在设想让联邦政府与州政府联合执行移民法律,并明确鼓励各州官员与联邦政府的同事合作并共享信息。三个持反对观点的大法官中有两位法官——塞缪尔·阿利托和克拉伦斯·托马斯——一致认同宪法的逻辑,但是他们对于亚利桑那州法案的哪一项规定与联邦法律冲突持不同意见。唯一主要的反对意见来自大法官安东宁·斯卡利亚,他更强有力地捍卫州特权,这些州特权可以追溯到《移民和镇压叛乱法》。最高法院针对奥巴马总统的这项8-0的否定裁决体现了大法官塞缪尔·阿利托在他的反对理由中描述的“对联邦政府行政权力令人震惊的声明”。白宫方面则认为,即使亚利桑那州的法例严格遵从联邦法律,但它与联邦政府的执法优先权还是冲突的。事实上,白宫声称有权废除任何它不认可的各州法律,即使这些法律符合联邦宪法。一些权力只属于联邦政府,包括对公民身份的控制权和对边界的控制权。但如果国会想阻止各州利用自身资源去检查移民身份,它也有权这么做。但它从没这样做过。事实上,政府声称它不想执行国会的意愿,它也有权阻止各州这么做。每位大法官理所当然对此惊人言论表示反对。美国《宪法》的最高条款宣布联邦法律是“国家的最高法律”。因此,只要联邦法律有效,州法院的法律就处于劣势。鉴于《宪法》规定的联邦和州的主权分裂,一个主要的争论点是最高条款中的“依照其中”一词。这意味着在某些领域制定联邦法律并不总是可行的——也就是说,某些领域的法律只留给各州来管理,而有关这些领域的任何联邦法律都是违宪的。司法部门的工作是通过解释《宪法》来界定这种专属管辖权的划分,并随着时间的推移而发生变化。无论如何,《宪法》本身保持着至高无上的地位,因此即使联邦法律在某些领域被禁止,《宪法》本身也永远高于任何州的法律。解决联邦法律之间假定冲突的标准并不总是明确的,决定构成取代效力的联邦法律的标准也并不明确。通过借用或纳入州规范在分散的基础上制定联邦职业行为规范的技术越来越棘手,因为借用的州规范不统一,且被用于多种补救目的。我们可以设想联邦立法凌驾于有关职业规范的州法规,但几乎无法实现,特别是当这些规范被强制用于职业纪律以外的目的时。在实施可能实现国家统一的其他举措之前,联邦法院的答案可能是一套统一的规范,直接用于规范所有联邦法院的诉讼行为。

    American literature begins with American experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,native Americans lived here.Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.Another kind of experience,one filled with fear and excitement,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilder- ness tell unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years. Experience,then, is the key to early American literature.
    The New World provided a great variety of experiences,and these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers.These writers included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.

    The Beginning of American Literature



    America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth

    century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from

    poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that

    hope.When,however,does American literature begin?

    American literature begins with Amnerican experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before

    Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,Native Americans

    lived here. Each trilbe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daiiy life and reflected the unmistakably

    American experience of lining with the land。Anoiher kind of experience,one filled with fear and excite-

    ment,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain,French and

    English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilderness tell

    unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.

    Experience,then,is the key to early American literature.The New World provided a great variety of

    experiences,and these experiences deniauded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early

    American writers.These wnters included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American

    continent.They included Jonathlan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British sub-

    jects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.

    American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners一they are all the creators

    of the first American literature.

    When did American literature begin?
    A:Before the American natives lived there.
    B:When Columbus and other explorers sent reports back home.
    C:When the Northmen found America in about 1000.
    D:Long before the year 1000.

    答案:D
    解析:
    首先找到“that hope”在文章中的位置:就是指第一段第二句中“…a genuine hope of a new life,”意思是:开始新生活的真诚希望。故选B。

    从第二段第二句可知:很早以前,本上美国人就居住在这里。既然前一句说“美国文学 产生于美国人的生活经历”,由此可知美国文学产生于很早以前就居住这里的本土美国人的 生活经历。故选D。

    由文章第一二段第三句话“Each tribe' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land.”可知,从美洲土著 部落的文学中,我们可以找到他们日常生活的写照。

    文章最后一段的第一句“Experience, then, is the key to early American literature.”是本 段的主题句,说的是:经历是早期美国文学的关键因素。

    文章最后一段中“These writers included Johon Smith , who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of them- selves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”意思是:这些文学家包括仅在美洲居住两年半的约翰·史密斯,还 有约翰逊·爱德华和维廉姆·白伊德。这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会 创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见,一些英国作家对 美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。

    A New Citizenship Test

    1 Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship(公民身份)exam was released by the
    US Citizenship and Immigration Services(US-CIS).It will be tried out in 10 cities early next
    year to replace the current test in 2008.Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has,
    as the current test does,the new one asks why there are 13 stripes.Instead of having to
    name the branches of government,an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.
    2 "The goal is to make it more meaningful,"explains Emilio Gonzalez,director of the US-
    CIS.Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better"understanding and respect"for
    US civic(公民的)values, Gonzalez says.
    3 The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a"shared
    commitment"from immigrants for their adopted country's"values".In recent years,in
    addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status,several
    European countries have adopted citizenship tests.Britain introduced a new citizenship test
    last November.In March,a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to
    take a citizenship test.It involved watching a video showing nude(裸体的)women bathing
    at beaches and gay(同性恋的)men kissing in public.The aim was to ensure that
    "newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores(风俗)".
    4 Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades.But,today,the fact is
    that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile to
    each other.Promoting integration has become a major concern for European countries,after
    the rioting in Muslim ghettoes(少数民族聚居区)in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by
    religious extremists.
    5 Officials believe that a person's attachment to a country can be tested by his or her
    knowledge of the country.However,some critics say that the changes can do little to help
    people assimilate(同化)themselves."Immigration is a culture war today.Is giving a new
    test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?"says Ali Noorani,of the
    Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition(难民辩护联盟).

    Some people fear that changes in the citizenship test will do little________.
    A:to know a lot more about the country
    B:to watch a video
    C:to help immigrants accept the new culture
    D:to marry American citizens
    E:todo low-skill jobs
    F:to answer

    Immigration and Problems

    Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the US filled the streets all over America
    in early 2006.Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens一not criminals.Many
    of these people supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immi-
    grants who were already in the country illegally.Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter
    measures一including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home
    countries.
    Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise.Some want to keep the doors open.
    They need the labor. About 400,000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005,according to the
    Canadian Government statistics.However,all this growth means that cities need to adapt.New-corners don't
    always make a smooth transition into jobs at which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring(辅导)
    programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs.
    With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing
    no sign of abating(减少), the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass
    amnesties(特赦)for illegals,and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back,the govern-
    ment has announced. About 23 ,000 migrants(移民)landed on the islands in 2006 , and riots have enipted ir
    some crowded reception centers.This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help.
    France's new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to encourage high-skillec
    migration.It took effect in 2007.The new law authorizes the government to identify particular profession,
    where France has a talent shortage.Then the government will help these identified employers find immigran
    workers with needed skills or qualifications.The selected foreign employees will be granted"skills and talents'
    visas,valid for three years.But some people show the concern that. it'll cause brain drain in developing countries.

    解析:
    推断题。由第七段第四、五句“事实上,联邦政府声称它不想执行国会的意愿,它也有权阻止各州这么做。每位大法官理所当然对此惊人言论表示反对”可知,法官们极度反对政府滥用职权,通过投反对票对其加以限制,故B项“法官们准备限制联邦政府的权力”是正确答案。A项“移民问题常由国会决定”和C项“法官们想要加强与国会的合作”均未提及,属于过度推断。D项“联邦政府在移民问题上占主导地位”是断章取义的表述,故错误。故本题选B。参考译文:周一,美国最高法院以五比三的投票结果否定了亚利桑那州移民法中的大部分条款——这是奥巴马政权在政策方面的一个小小胜利。但在涉及宪法这个更重要的问题上,最高法院以全部8票挫败了奥巴马政权在打乱联邦政府和各州政府的权力平衡问题上所做的努力。在亚利桑那州与联邦政府的这场较量中,大多数法官推翻了亚利桑那州四条有争议的移民法案中的三条,该法案允许州政府和当地警察执行联邦移民法。《宪法》规定,只有华盛顿才有权“建立全国统一的归化条例”;联邦法先于州法,这些原则都是无可争议的。而亚利桑那州在试图制定一个与现行联邦政策并行的州政策。最高法院大法官安东尼·肯尼迪裁定亚利桑那州在制定政策时挑战联邦政府的权威,首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨和法院中的自由党派与他持相同观点。针对被推翻的条款,多数人认为国会已经慎重“占领这块领地”,而亚利桑那州也因此而侵犯联邦政府的特权。然而,大法官们认为亚利桑那州的警察有权鉴定执法人员的合法身份。这是因为国会一直在设想让联邦政府与州政府联合执行移民法律,并明确鼓励各州官员与联邦政府的同事合作并共享信息。三个持反对观点的大法官中有两位法官——塞缪尔·阿利托和克拉伦斯·托马斯——一致认同宪法的逻辑,但是他们对于亚利桑那州法案的哪一项规定与联邦法律冲突持不同意见。唯一主要的反对意见来自大法官安东宁·斯卡利亚,他更强有力地捍卫州特权,这些州特权可以追溯到《移民和镇压叛乱法》。最高法院针对奥巴马总统的这项8-0的否定裁决体现了大法官塞缪尔·阿利托在他的反对理由中描述的“对联邦政府行政权力令人震惊的声明”。白宫方面则认为,即使亚利桑那州的法例严格遵从联邦法律,但它与联邦政府的执法优先权还是冲突的。事实上,白宫声称有权废除任何它不认可的各州法律,即使这些法律符合联邦宪法。一些权力只属于联邦政府,包括对公民身份的控制权和对边界的控制权。但如果国会想阻止各州利用自身资源去检查移民身份,它也有权这么做。但它从没这样做过。事实上,政府声称它不想执行国会的意愿,它也有权阻止各州这么做。每位大法官理所当然对此惊人言论表示反对。美国《宪法》的最高条款宣布联邦法律是“国家的最高法律”。因此,只要联邦法律有效,州法院的法律就处于劣势。鉴于《宪法》规定的联邦和州的主权分裂,一个主要的争论点是最高条款中的“依照其中”一词。这意味着在某些领域制定联邦法律并不总是可行的——也就是说,某些领域的法律只留给各州来管理,而有关这些领域的任何联邦法律都是违宪的。司法部门的工作是通过解释《宪法》来界定这种专属管辖权的划分,并随着时间的推移而发生变化。无论如何,《宪法》本身保持着至高无上的地位,因此即使联邦法律在某些领域被禁止,《宪法》本身也永远高于任何州的法律。解决联邦法律之间假定冲突的标准并不总是明确的,决定构成取代效力的联邦法律的标准也并不明确。通过借用或纳入州规范在分散的基础上制定联邦职业行为规范的技术越来越棘手,因为借用的州规范不统一,且被用于多种补救目的。我们可以设想联邦立法凌驾于有关职业规范的州法规,但几乎无法实现,特别是当这些规范被强制用于职业纪律以外的目的时。在实施可能实现国家统一的其他举措之前,联邦法院的答案可能是一套统一的规范,直接用于规范所有联邦法院的诉讼行为。

    A

    B


    正确答案:
    解析:
    录音中指出“切实可行的移民政策应该更加具有选择性,而非更加严格。人均收入相当的国家之间应该允许公民自由进出,让他们在不同国家愿意工作或停留多久就多久”,因此题干与录音内容相符。
    【录音原文】
    A workable policy (on immigration) would be more selective, not more restrictive. Countries could, for instance, freely admit the citizens of any country with broadly the same income per head as theirs, letting them work or stay as long as they liked.

  • 第24题:

    问答题
    [A] Difficulty of changing one's immigration status.  [B] Extent of error in card completion.  [C] Classification of border-crossers.  [D] Uncertainty in categorization.  [E] Computer-assisted measurement of illegal immigration.  [F] Preventing illegal immigration.  [G] Determining net flow of population.  Whenever a person enters or leaves the island nation of Freedonia, he or she must fill out an arrival or departure card. The data collected from the cards are entered into a computer database, known as the Inflow/Outflow Record (IOR). The Immigration Bureau uses the IOR to monitor changes in the population of Freedonia, which was estimated in 1994 to be 14.4 million people.  1. ___________________________  The cards do more than just help count the number of people coming and going. The people who cross Freedonia's borders are put into one of several categories depending on how they fill out their card. The first category, labelled "Category M" by the Immigration Bureau, is made up of people, usually tourists and business travellers from abroad, whose stay in Freedonia is less than 6 months. In "Category N" are citizens and residents of Freedonia who go abroad for a similar period of time. "Category P" includes foreigners who stay in Freedonia for a period longer than 6 months, while Freedonians who leave the country for more than 6 months are put in "Category Q". Then there are the people who migrate permanently to Freedonia, known as "Category R", and those who permanently emigrate from the island state, who are placed in "Category S". Emigrants, it should be noted, are sometimes former immigrants to Freedonia.   2. ___________________________  One problem with maintaining the IOR is that the departure and arrival cards ask for people's intentions, and intentions do not always become reality. Freedonia's population includes many people who originally entered the country on a temporary visa but who later applied for and were given permanent status; in this way, someone who was Category M becomes Category R. This is not too great a problem as changes in migration status inside the country can easily be tracked and entered into the IOR. It becomes difficult to make accurate categorizations, though, when Freedonians move overseas with plans to return--whether in less than 6 months or after a longer period—but do not, in fact, come back. Similarly, Freedonians who claim to be emigrating to other countries may change their minds and return to Freedonia.  3. ___________________________  People may also make mistakes when filling out the cards. In 1994, a study was made of 21,730 arrival and departure cards filled out by people leaving from Freedonia's major airports and seaports. The study showed that one in five cards had errors. A total of 4,008 passengers who were citizens of Freedonia mistakenly said that they were temporary entrants to Freedonia. Of these,18 percent were, in fact, emigrating or Category Q leavers. The study's most important finding was the lack of certainty expressed by departing Freedonians about when they planned to return to Freedonia. The arrival and departure cards were redesigned by the Immigration Bureau after the 1994 study, but while the new cards have been in use for over a decade, no new research has been done.  4. ___________________________  The unrecorded movements of people from one category to another make it hard to measure the flow of population, but it should be said that Freedonia is the only nation with high overall immigration that keeps reliable records of departures. In this way, the Immigration Bureau is able to keep track of departing native Freedonians as well as former settlers. By monitoring both immigration and emigration, the Bureau is able to maintain a record of net migration, the total gain or loss of people over a period of time. In other countries with high level of immigration, the issue of net migration has often been neglected.  5. ___________________________  One final benefit of the IOR is the help it gives in determining the level of illegal immigration to Freedonia. People who enter Freedonia saying they will stay in the country for under six months will appear automatically in the database as "Category T" if they have not left the country after the end of that period. Unlike countries such as the United States that have little idea of the true extent of illegal immigration entering their borders, Freedonia's Immigration Bureau has shown it is able to keep a fairly accurate count.

    正确答案:
    1. C 本段层次比较分明,主题句为第二句。选项[C]中border-crossers是对The people who cross Fredonia’s borders的同义转述,Classification对应句中的categories。
    2. D 本段主题句是第一句。主要讲了IOR管理方法存在的问题。句中“One problem'’,“do not always…”及下文中的Category M becomes Category R等词,都说明了归类的不确定性这一问题,选项[D]Uncertainty in categorization概括了这一点。
    3. B 本段主题句为第一句。选项[B]中的error对应该段第一句的mistakes,“card completion’’实际为“filling out the cards”的同义转述,应选[B]。
    4. G 本段关键信息词为“reliable records of departures”及“net migration”,对照各选项,只有[G]与该段内容相关。
    5. E 本段主要讲了IOR的优点,即可以“determining the level of illegal immigration”,第一句是主题句。选项[E]中“measurement of illegal immigration”与此对应,该段后文提到“database”,对照第一段可知是指“a computer database”,选项中的Computer-assisted正对应了这一点。
