【题目】People in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver's license. The law went into effect on January l. California is not the first American state with such a law, but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador eight years ago without permission from the U.S. government. Some call such people "illegal immigrants." Others call them "undocumented immigrants".

Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting, for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, or DMV. He says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared.

The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words "Federal Limits Apply". That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center, says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. Civil rights groups say the police and others will not.

Dan Schnur, a political scientist at the University of Southern California, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. But Professor Schnur argued that young, white Americans generally support immigration reform, including giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants

"It's simply because they grew up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did." Professor Schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in California will spread throughout the United States.

【1】Why did the new law make Mr. Alvarado excited?

A. Because he can request a driver's license.

B. Because he became a legal immigrant of California.

C. Because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant.

D. Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants.

【1】What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens'?

A. The words “Federal Limits Apply” will abuse illegal immigrants

B. They can't be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building.

C. They can be used to act against the police and other people.

D. With the words "Federal Limits Apply", immigrants can enjoy special rights.

【1】What’s the public's attitude towards the new law released on January l in California?

A. supportive B. negative

C. neutral D. controversial

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】D

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇英语新闻。在美国加利福尼亚的非法移民可以申请驾照了。这件事在公众之中引起了很大争议和讨论，但是不管怎么说，这种思想上的改变有可能传给全美国了。

【1】A细节理解题。根据文章第一句“People in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver's license.”可知：非法进入美国加利福尼亚西部的人现在可以申请司机驾照，故选A。

【2】B细节理解题。倒数第三段第二句“That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building.”这意味着驾照不能用来乘坐飞机或者进入联邦大厦。故选B

I am angry about the behavior of dishonest in exams. This doesn’t mean I’ve never cheated. I once write the answers on my hand for a history test, but unluckily caught by my teacher. Because she was one of my most favorites, there were no words to describe what sorry I felt at that time. I thought cheat would help me keep my straight A. Little I know that I was hurting not only me but also my teacher. From this lesson I know our teachers want their students to succeed by learning with their own and do the best they can, not by cheating.

【题目】Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature．Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize．

Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received．Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns．

Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munro’s career．“It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication( 投身，奉献 ) to the short story,” said one person．

Along with the well-respected title comes 1．3 million dollars．Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way．”

Munro knew she was in the list——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japan——but she never thought that she would win．

Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come．“When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world．Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday．

She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is．In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize．Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer．

“This is a win for us all．Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor．“But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag．”

She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang．But this may change my mind．”

【1】What is the feature of Munro’s stories?

A．They have complicated (复杂的)contents．

B．They have similar story backgrounds．

C．They have specific themes for children．

D．They have the same characters in each book．

【2】For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______．

A．her love for Canadian culture

B．her devotion to the short story

C．her special form of writing

D．her career of editing short stories

【3】What can you infer from the sixth paragraph?

A．Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize．

B．Canadian writers were respected across the globe．

C．Canadian writers have long been ignored

D．Canadians come a long way to win the prize．

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize

B．An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature

C．Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature

D．A world famous writer, Alice Munro
