题目内容

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 is so exciting, for be 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

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 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.

2.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.

3.What's the public's attitude towards the new law released on January l in California?

A. supportive B. negative

C. neutral D. Controversial

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind: football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and steep mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women are willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport, not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as tennis and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team sport”. Then we are mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock surface linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. This sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve his skills year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skills than waste less effort.

1.Why is mountaineering not a game?

A. Because it is dangerous.

B. Because it has no man-made rules.

C. Because it is unfamiliar to many people.

D. Because so few people go in for this sport.

2.Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.

A. it is an Olympic event

B. teams compete against each other

C. there are five climbers on each team

D. mountaineering may depend on their opponents(对手) when in danger

3.Mountaineers compete against _____.

A. nature

B. high mountains

C. other mountaineers

D. international standards

4.The last paragraph mainly tells us that _____.

A. a mountaineer improves his skill constantly

B. a good mountaineer may be an elderly one

C. mountaineering is different from other sports

D. an elderly man climbs the highest mountains in Alps

5.In this passage the author intends to _____.

A. tell us to have sports

B. introduce us to sports

C. tell us to go mountaineering

D. introduce us to mountaineering

How’s everything? We haven’t seen each other for long. I’m very exciting to receive an e-mail from you. I’m glad you have made so great progress that you can write your e-mail with good Chinese.
