题目内容
1.Many Chinese immigrants began crossing the Pacific to arrive in the United States in the mid-1800s.By that time,China's population had reached about 430million,and the country was suffering from severe unemployment,poverty,and famine(饥荒).The 1848discovery of gold in California began to tempt Chinese immigrants to the United States.Then,in 1850,the Taiping Rebellion broke out in their homeland.This rebellion against the Chinese government took some 20million lives and caused such suffering that thousands of Chinese left for the United States.In the early 1860s,as the Central Pacific Railroad began construction of its portion of the transcontinental railroad,the demand for railroad workers further increased Chinese immigration.Chinese immigrants mainly settled in western cities,where they often worked as laborers or servants or in skilled trades.Others worked as merchants.Because native-born Americans kept them out of many businesses,some Chinese immigrants opened their own.
Another group of Asians,the Japanese,also immigrated to the United States.Until 1900,however,their numbers remained small.Between 1900and 1908,large numbers of Japanese migrated to the United States as Japan began building both an industrial economy and an empire.Both developments interrupted the economy of Japan and caused hardships for its people,thus stimulating emigration.
Until 1910 Asian immigrants arriving in San Francisco first stopped at a two-story shelter at the wharf (码头).As many as 500people at a time were often squeezed into this structure,which Chinese immigrants from Canton called muk uk,or"wooden house."In January 1910,California opened a few barracks on Angel Island to accommodate the Asian immigrants.Most of the immigrants were young males in their teens or twenties,who nervously awaited the results of their immigration hearings in dormitories packed with double or triple tiers of bunks.This unpleasant delay could last for months.On the walls of the detention barracks,the immigrants wrote anonymous poems in pencil or ink.Some even carved their verse into the wood.

分析 19世纪中期到很多中国人跨过太平洋来到美国.
当时中国的人口达到4亿3千万,国内遭受了失业率高、贫困和饥荒的威胁.1848年加利福尼亚发现了金矿开始吸引华人来美;中国国内的太平天国起义也导致了数以千计的人来到美国;19世纪60年代早期更多的华人来到太平洋海岸铁路的修建.
华人主要聚居在美国西海岸,他们大多是劳力、佣人和小手艺人,有的从事了商业,由于当地排华,他们很难在商业圈供职,所以一些华人开自己的店铺谋生.
作为另外一波亚洲人的日本人也向往美利坚.1900以前来美数量很少,在1900年和1908年之间由于日本国内振兴工业帝国,使生活苦难的普通日本人陆续来到美国.
一开始到达旧金山的亚洲移民都居住在码头边两层小屋里,有时一次住500人.在1910年1月加利福尼亚开设了供亚洲移民住的营房,住在里面的大多是20来岁的年轻人,他们在这个堆满架子床的拥挤宿舍里等待着遗民听证会,无聊的他们在墙上和木头上写了很多匿名诗.
解答 41.答案 A 细节考查题.根据文章第一自然段可知华人来美的原因应该是美国对华人的吸引和需求,包括(B/C/D)三种原因,而选项A是指由于中国人口的膨胀而导致国内的饥荒贫穷失业率高.显然这句话根据文意是错误的,同时也不是华人来美的原因.
42.答案 C 细节考查题.根据文章中"they often worked as laborers or servants or in skilled trades.Others worked as merchants"可知华人的工作为labors,servants and merchat(businessman).所以答案为C.
43.答案 C 细节考查题.根据文中"large numbers of Japanese migrated to the United States as Japan began building both an industrial economy and an empire.Both developments interrupted the economy of Japan and caused hardships for its people,thus stimulating emigration"可知由于日本国内建设工业经济,这种国内的变革导致了苦难的民众来美,所以答案选C(social change社会变革).
44.答案 B 词义推断题.根据划线单词barracks前后语境"first stopped at a two-story shelter at the wharf"
"who nervously awaited the results of their immigration hearings in dormitories packed with double or triple tiers of bunks"可知一开始移民住的是a two-story shelter后来是barracks,可知barracks应该是住很多人的地方
结合选项意思可知camps(大本营)是住的地方,故选B.
