　　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。细节题。题干：根据短语，下列哪个是17世纪以来物种迅速灭绝的重要原因?根据17th century回到原文定位。首段的第五句有相关信息，大意是：物种灭绝过程迅速加剧的原因在于人口的增长以及对自然生态系统的技术侵害(encroachment)，与C选项意义相符。

　　32.D。词汇题。题干：第二段中的island指的是__________。根据指代题的原则可知，island应是上一句话中small area的另一种说法。D选项是该句的同义改写，isolated(孤立的)是fragment的近义说法。

　　33.C。细节题。题干：关于动物灭绝的原因，下列哪一项没有提到?由题干中causes for extinction得知，原文中关键词前后表示因果关系的表达方式很重要。原文用了because of,as，a result of,cause等词(如原文标注)来提示答案所在，通过比较得知，只有C选项(商业贸易和杀戮)未被提及。

　　34.C。细节题。题干：根据短文，下列哪项是挽救濒临灭绝的动物的最重要的措施?由文章第三段主题句得知该段主要讲如何保护濒危动物。由本段倒数第二句可知，法律的有效程度取决于实施及法院和人们的支持。因此，C选项正确。

　　35.A。态度题。题干：作者对有关保护濒临灭绝的动物的态度是什么?回到原文最后一句能找作者对濒危动物保护前景(prospect)的态度词in doubt(值得怀疑的)，证明作者态度并不是乐观的(optimistic)，也不是有信心的(confident)。indifferent(漠不关心的)一般都是混淆项，不能选。所以A是正确答案。

　　第二篇

　　36.B。词汇题。题干：第一段中practically的含义为__________。方法一：通过查词典可知其意为“几乎，实际地”;方法二：可以使用代入法，B(几乎)是最为通顺的，意为“拥抱几乎所有的人”。

　　37.D。细节题。题干：下列哪项不是传统的问候方式?用限定词in the past回到原文定位，首段出现了答案。末句讲到hugging(拥抱)是新型的打招呼方式，因此选项D(拥抱)不是过去打招呼的典型方式，该选项中用embrace代替了huggin9。

　　38.D。细节题。题干：有些家长、老师和学校管理者关注拥抱的问候方式，下列哪一项不是其原因?由关键词some parents，teachers and school administrators定位到第三段第二句，答案应该在此前后。此段并列的两个问句讲到了A、B、C三个原因，未提及D(超长时间拥抱容易传染疾病)。

　　39.D。细节题。题干：下列说法哪一项是真实的?此题改为定位选项关键词来答题。倒数第二段的首句提供的信息与D选项内容相符，只是原文使用了双重否定结构(it is not unusual)来表示肯定。其他几个选项都与原文有出入。

　　40.A。态度题。题干：作者对拥抱问候的态度是__________。寻找作者对hugging(拥抱)的态度词是关键。在末段可看到这样一句话：(通过拥抱)全世界的人越来越紧密。由此可知，作者的态度是积极的，故选A。

　　第三篇

　　41.B。细节题。题干：2006年年初在美国许多移民涌入街道，他们要求受到怎样的对待?答案可以从第一段的第二句话中找到。这句话说：许多移民举着标语和美国国旗，要求按公民而不是罪犯对待。

　　42.C。细节题。题干：一些加拿大官员想把门开着的原因是什么?答案可以从第二段中找到。前三句话是这么说的：加拿大官员说移民申请继续高涨，一些官员想把门开着，他们需要劳动力。

　　43.D。细节题。题干：西班牙政府决定做什么?答案可以从第三段中找到。第一句话说：随着大批的无证非洲移民来到加里那群岛且没有减弱的迹象，西班牙政府决定采取严厉的措施。

　　44.C。细节题。题干：法国新的移民和融入法案生效后，会发生什么情况?答案可以从最后一段的最后一句中找到。这句话说：但是有些人担心，这个法案会导致发展中国家的人才流失。

　　45.A。细节题。题干：第一段中的短语rounding up由哪个词替换最合适?根据文意该词义为“围捕”，故capturing(捕捉)是正确选项。
