　　Immigration and Problems

　　Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration fights in the US filled streets all over America in early 2006. Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens not criminals. Many of these supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immigrants who were already in the country illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures--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. Newcomers don't always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring 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, the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass amnesties for illegals, and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back,the government has announced. About 23,000 migrants landed on the islands in 2006, and riots have erupted in 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-skilled migration. It takes effect in 2007. The new law authorizes the government to identify particular professions where France has a talent shortage. Then the government will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or qualifications. The selected foreign employees will be granted "skills and talents" visas, valid for three years. But some concern that it'll cause brain drain in developing countries.

　　第一篇

　　31.C。細節(jié)題。題干：根據(jù)短語，下列哪個是17世紀以來物種迅速滅絕的重要原因?根據(jù)17th century回到原文定位。首段的第五句有相關(guān)信息，大意是：物種滅絕過程迅速加劇的原因在于人口的增長以及對自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的技術(shù)侵害(encroachment)，與C選項意義相符。

　　32.D。詞匯題。題干：第二段中的island指的是__________。根據(jù)指代題的原則可知，island應(yīng)是上一句話中small area的另一種說法。D選項是該句的同義改寫，isolated(孤立的)是fragment的近義說法。

　　33.C。細節(jié)題。題干：關(guān)于動物滅絕的原因，下列哪一項沒有提到?由題干中causes for extinction得知，原文中關(guān)鍵詞前后表示因果關(guān)系的表達方式很重要。原文用了because of,as，a result of,cause等詞(如原文標注)來提示答案所在，通過比較得知，只有C選項(商業(yè)貿(mào)易和殺戮)未被提及。

　　34.C。細節(jié)題。題干：根據(jù)短文，下列哪項是挽救瀕臨滅絕的動物的最重要的措施?由文章第三段主題句得知該段主要講如何保護瀕危動物。由本段倒數(shù)第二句可知，法律的有效程度取決于實施及法院和人們的支持。因此，C選項正確。

　　35.A。態(tài)度題。題干：作者對有關(guān)保護瀕臨滅絕的動物的態(tài)度是什么?回到原文最后一句能找作者對瀕危動物保護前景(prospect)的態(tài)度詞in doubt(值得懷疑的)，證明作者態(tài)度并不是樂觀的(optimistic)，也不是有信心的(confident)。indifferent(漠不關(guān)心的)一般都是混淆項，不能選。所以A是正確答案。

　　第二篇

　　36.B。詞匯題。題干：第一段中practically的含義為__________。方法一：通過查詞典可知其意為“幾乎，實際地”;方法二：可以使用代入法，B(幾乎)是最為通順的，意為“擁抱幾乎所有的人”。

　　37.D。細節(jié)題。題干：下列哪項不是傳統(tǒng)的問候方式?用限定詞in the past回到原文定位，首段出現(xiàn)了答案。末句講到hugging(擁抱)是新型的打招呼方式，因此選項D(擁抱)不是過去打招呼的典型方式，該選項中用embrace代替了huggin9。

　　38.D。細節(jié)題。題干：有些家長、老師和學(xué)校管理者關(guān)注擁抱的問候方式，下列哪一項不是其原因?由關(guān)鍵詞some parents，teachers and school administrators定位到第三段第二句，答案應(yīng)該在此前后。此段并列的兩個問句講到了A、B、C三個原因，未提及D(超長時間擁抱容易傳染疾病)。

　　39.D。細節(jié)題。題干：下列說法哪一項是真實的?此題改為定位選項關(guān)鍵詞來答題。倒數(shù)第二段的首句提供的信息與D選項內(nèi)容相符，只是原文使用了雙重否定結(jié)構(gòu)(it is not unusual)來表示肯定。其他幾個選項都與原文有出入。

　　40.A。態(tài)度題。題干：作者對擁抱問候的態(tài)度是__________。尋找作者對hugging(擁抱)的態(tài)度詞是關(guān)鍵。在末段可看到這樣一句話：(通過擁抱)全世界的人越來越緊密。由此可知，作者的態(tài)度是積極的，故選A。

　　第三篇

　　41.B。細節(jié)題。題干：2006年年初在美國許多移民涌入街道，他們要求受到怎樣的對待?答案可以從第一段的第二句話中找到。這句話說：許多移民舉著標語和美國國旗，要求按公民而不是罪犯對待。

　　42.C。細節(jié)題。題干：一些加拿大官員想把門開著的原因是什么?答案可以從第二段中找到。前三句話是這么說的：加拿大官員說移民申請繼續(xù)高漲，一些官員想把門開著，他們需要勞動力。

　　43.D。細節(jié)題。題干：西班牙政府決定做什么?答案可以從第三段中找到。第一句話說：隨著大批的無證非洲移民來到加里那群島且沒有減弱的跡象，西班牙政府決定采取嚴厲的措施。

　　44.C。細節(jié)題。題干：法國新的移民和融入法案生效后，會發(fā)生什么情況?答案可以從最后一段的最后一句中找到。這句話說：但是有些人擔(dān)心，這個法案會導(dǎo)致發(fā)展中國家的人才流失。

　　45.A。細節(jié)題。題干：第一段中的短語rounding up由哪個詞替換最合適?根據(jù)文意該詞義為“圍捕”，故capturing(捕捉)是正確選項。
