The percentage of immigrants (including those unlawfully present) in the United States has been creeping upward for years. At 12.6 percent, it is now higher than at any points since the mid 1920s. We are not about to go back to the days when Congress openly worried about inferior races polluting America’s bloodstream. But once again we are wondering whether we have too many of the wrong sort of new comers. Their loudest critics argue that the new wave of immigrants cannot, and indeed do not want to, fit in as previous generations did. We now know that these racist views were wrong. In time, Italians, Romanians and members of other so-called inferior races became exemplary Americans and contributed greatly, in ways too numerous to detail, to the building of this magnificent nation. There is no reason why these new immigrants should not have the same success. Although children of Mexican immigrants do better, in terms of educational and professional attainment, than their parents, UCLA sociologist Edward Telles has found that the gains don’t continue. Indeed, the fourth generation is marginally worse off than the third. James Jackson, of the University of Michigan, has found a similar trend among black Caribbean immigrants. Telles fears that Mexican-Americans may be fated to follow in the footsteps of American blacks that large parts of the community may become mired in a seemingly state of poverty and Underachievement. Like African-Americans, Mexican-Americans are increasingly relegated to segregated, substandard schools, and their dropout rate is the highest for any ethnic group in the country. We have learned much about the foolish idea of excluding people on the presumption of the ethnic/racial inferiority. But what we have not yet learned is how to make the process of Americanization work for all. I am not talking about requiring people to learn English or to adopt American ways; those things happen pretty much on their own, but as arguments about immigration hear up the campaign trail, we also ought to ask some broader question about assimilation, about how to ensure that people, once outsiders, don’t forever remain marginalized within these shores. That is a much larger question than what should happen with undocumented workers, or how best to secure the border, and it is one that affects not only newcomers but groups that have been here for generations. It will have more impact on our future than where we decide to set the admissions bar for the latest wave of would-be Americans. And it would be nice if we finally got the answer right.
选项
答案
解析
1. B 从结构上看,本题题干后需跟一个名词结构,做viewed as的宾语,只有选项A和B符合条件。由题干中关键信息early days,immigrants和Congress可定位至第二段首句:We are not about to go back to the days when Congress openly worried about inferior races polluting America’s bloodstream。可知,美国议会认为移民为低等民族,因此B项是正确答案。2. D 题干中的关键信息为second generation of Mexican immigrants,从而定位至第四首句:Although children of Mexican immigrants do better, in terms of educational and professional attainment, than their parents。其中children of Mexican immigrants与题干中second generation of Mexican immigrants表达意思相一致,因此“do better than their parents”就是正确答案。因此选D。3. A 通过题干中的关键信息ULCA sociologist Edward Telles定位至第四段首句中的UCLA sociologist Edward Telles has found that the gains don’t continue. Indeed, the fourth generation is marginally worse off than the third。因此,A项为正确答案。4. F 题干只有to do形式的非谓语结构做目的状语,因此需寻找一个完整句子做主句。符合要求的有C、F两项。由题干中new immigrants定位至倒数第二段,该段第三句提到:...we also ought to ask some broader question about assimilation, about how to ensure that people, once outsiders, don’t forever remain marginalized within these shores。因此,选项F是正确答案。5. G 文章最后一段开头提到:That is a much larger question than what should happen with undocumented workers,其中that指的是上段末尾的how to ensure that people, once outsiders, don’t forever remain marginalized within these shores,题干中more important 与much larger question表示意思相一致,因此正确答案为G项。
