(题后含答案及解析)

题型有：1.

Few men who find themselves cast as heroes early in life continue to

command universal esteem till the end. Sir Edmund Hillary was one. To be the first to

reach the top of the world’s highest mountain ensured international celebrity and a

place in history, but the modesty of a slightly awkward New Zealand beekeeper never

departed him. Nor was mountaineering, or indeed beekeeping, his only

accomplishment. Two views are often expressed about his life. One is that

conquering Everest was everything. No one would play down the role of Tenzing

Norgay, the Sherpa who reached the peak with him, possibly even before him; their

partnership was like that of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. But it was Sir Edmund

who first struggled his way up a crack in the 12-metre (40-foot) rockface that had to

be overcome after the south summit if the real one was to be achieved, and below

which only oblivion awaited. News of the British-led expedition’s triumph on

May 29th 1953 reached the world through a report in the London Times four days

later. The Times, a sponsor of the expedition, had used an elaborate code to trick any

rivals monitoring the radio waves. Its scoop was indeed a coup: June 2nd was the day

of Queen Elizabeth’s coronation, at which her majesty was crowned. Sir Edmund

was a man of action. After Everest came more expeditions in Nepal, a race to the

South Pole and further adventures in the Antarctic, the Himalayas and India But for

some onlookers neither these nor even the Everest expedition was especially

remarkable: fitness and physical courage are all very well, they argued, but the

world’s highest peak was simply waiting to be scaled, and a steady traffic nowadays

makes its way to the top unnoticed, except for the litter it leaves. Both the

indifferent and the awe-struck, however, agree that Sir Edmund’s other life was

wholly admirable, and he himself said he was prouder of it than of anything else. This

was his tireless work for the Sherpas, of whom he had become so fond. Through his

efforts, and those of Tenzing, hospitals, clinics, bridges, runways and nearly 30

schools have been built in the Solo Khumbu region of Nepal just south of Everest. If

New Zealand claimed Sir Edmund’s loyalty, Nepal, and especially its Sherpas, could

surely claim his heart.

1． Which of the following is true of Sir Edmund Hillary?

A．He never left the awkward New Zealand beekeeper.

B．He is the first person to reach the top of Everest.

C．Neither mountaineering nor beekeeping was his accomplishment.

D．He didn’t command universal esteem until the end.

正确答案：B

解析：事实细节题。第一段第三句的To be the first…表明“埃德蒙.希拉里爵

士是第一个登上世界最高峰的人”，Everest即珠峰是世界上最高的山峰，因此B

项正确。

2． The Times was the first to report the news of expedition’s triumph in that

_____.

A．it was one of the major sponsors of this expedition

B．its headquarters was located in London

C．it used the code its rivals could not comprehend

D．it was much smarter than its competitors

正确答案：C

解析：因果细节题。根据第三段，《泰晤士报》成为第一家报道探险队胜利

的报社，原因是他们使用了一种经过精心设计的代码，瞒住了所有监控无线电波

的同行。C项符合文意。

3． The sentence “a steady traffic nowadays makes its way to the top unnoticed”

(Para. 4) shows that_____.

A．conquering Everest is not special since more people set foot on it

B．people could reach the top of Everest with the help of vehicles

C．people would not respect those conquering Everest by vehicles

D．the world’s highest peak would be conquered anyway

正确答案：A

解析：语义理解题。题目引出的句子句意为：如今不断有人登上峰顶，使得

这个举动变得不再引人注目。steady指“稳步的”，traffic原意指“交通”，这里

形象地说明上山的人越来越多。A项set foot on it和not special与原句make its way

to the top和unnoticed对应，故A项为正确答案。

4． According to the passage, Sir Edmund’s other life refers to _____.

A．the modest life of working as the beekeeper in New Zealand

B．the exciting life of adventures

C．the meaningful life of working hard for the Sherpas

D．the busy life of being an international celebrity

正确答案：C

解析：事实细节题。根据Sir Edmund’s other life定位至第五段。他的其他事

迹就是该段第二句提到的，他一直在为夏尔巴人付出，C项为正确答案。

5． An appropriate title for the text is most likely to be ____.

A．Expedition’s Triumph in Everest

B．Plain Man Mighty Deeds

C．A Man of Action

D．Sir Edmund’s Expeditions

正确答案：B

解析：主旨大意题。B项的plain(平凡的)对应文中slightly awkward New

Zealand beekeeper，mighty(强大的)对应埃德蒙。希拉里爵士勇攀高峰和帮助夏尔

巴人的伟大事迹，完整概括了全文。

Last year the nation’s best-known business consulting firm ran an

international survey to try to determine why certain countries—like Canada, Finland,

Japan, Singapore and South Korea—seem to have the best schools. The answer came

back, somewhat unsurprisingly, that these countries have the best teachers; educators

who are respected, rewarded, and held accountable for their performance in the

classroom. This may seem obvious, but you would never have guessed watching

the Democratic debate in Las Vegas the week before Thanksgiving. All the candidates

give lip service to the importance of education to the nation’s future. And it goes

without saying that accountability is the key to performance in any job. Yet when John

Roberts of CNN asked the candidates if school boards should be able to reward

teachers or fire them based on performance, all the Democrats headed for the hills,

hemming and hawing and obfuscating their answers. What’s going on here? In

short, the power of the teachers’ unions. The National Education Association is a big

hitter in the Democratic Party. The NEA is all about job security, so you won’t find

Democrats leading crusades to weed out bad teachers. The Republicans don’t do

much better. They say they are reluctant to meddle in local school governance and

instead push for vouchers so kids can go to private or parochial schools. In New

York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg hired Joel Klein, a former Justice Department

antitrust chief in the Clinton administration, to run the city’s chaotic schools. Klein

managed to get a third of the school principals to sign an agreement that would allow

them to be terminated for cause. And he got the teachers’ union to agree to give up

this absurd privilege: in New York, for many years, teachers with seniority could

show up at any school they wanted and teach there, shoving aside teachers with less

seniority. Klein won the right to stop low-performing senior teachers from exercising

this droit du seigneur. Some of them just went home rather than teaching wherever

they wanted to—and were still paid in full. That doesn’t sound like an enormous step

toward teacher accountability, but it was a struggle for New York to extract even these

comparatively modest concessions from the teachers’ union, and it shows how far

there is to go. Teacher accountability is at the heart of true education reform. If only

the presidential candidates would even dare to discuss the problem.

6． According to the survey,the common feature of the best schools is that they

have_________.

A．better financial position

B．first-class teaching faculties

C．world well-known presidents

D．more excellent foreign students

正确答案：B

解析：细节题。首段首句提到了一项全球调查的目的是找出加拿大、芬兰、

日本、新加坡以及韩国等国家拥有最好学校的原因。调查结果显示：这些国家之

所以有一流的学校，是因为他们有一流的教师。所以[B]“一流的师资”正确。 知

识模块：阅读理解

7． According to the text,what is the essential quality for teachers?

A．Capability.

B．Credibility.

C．Punctuality.

D．Responsibility.

正确答案：D

解析：推断题。第二段第三句提到民主党候选人认为责任心是做好任何工作

的关键。本文最后一段倒数第二句也提到教师的责任心才是教育改革的真正核

心。[A]“能力”、[B]“诚信”、[C]“守时”固然是教师应具备的素质，但不符合

本处语境，故排除。因此[D]“责任心”为答案。 知识模块：阅读理解

8． It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 that_________.

A．the NEA doesn’t assess teachers based on their accountability

B．many kids would rather go to private schools than public schools

C．the Democratic Party has the right to reward or fire bad teachers

D．the Republican Party can intervene in local school administration

正确答案：A

解析：推断题。第二段结尾提到是否能根据教师的表现决定奖惩时，候选人

都支支吾吾，故可推断[A]“全国教育协会不是根据责任心大小来评价教师”为

答案。第三段提到全国教育协会在民主党内的地位举足轻重，因为它的职能是保

证职业安全。所以民主党内从来没有人搞改革运动，淘汰不合格教师。故排除[C]

“民主党有权奖惩不合格教师”；共和党也表示不便干涉当地学校的管理，故排

除[D]“共和党可以干预当地学校管理”；本段最后一句介绍了共和党人可以申请

把孩子转到私立或教会学校读书，但并未说明[B]“许多孩子宁愿选择去私立学

校读书”，故排除[B]。 知识模块：阅读理解

9． In the text,the word”droit du seigneur”(Line 6, Para. 4) most probably

means_______.

A．the privilege to retire earlier

B．the right to get a higher salary

C．the right to stop their teaching

D．the privilege to teach anywhere

正确答案：D

解析：语义题。第四段首句提到纽约市学校管理混乱。乔尔.可莱上任后采

取了一系列整顿措施，其中包括让教师协会同意放弃一个荒谬的特权：资历深的

教师能到他们想去的任何学校任教的特权。同时，乔尔.可莱也有权阻止那些资

历深却不称职的教师享受特权。因此droit du seigneur的意思是“任意择校任教

的权利”，故[D]为答案。 知识模块：阅读理解

10． We can conclude from Paragraph 4 that the candidates_______.

A．are unwilling to tell the truth directly to the media

B．hold the view that education reform is not that necessary

C．don’t consider teacher accountability as a serious problem

D．believe that keeping out of trouble is the safest way to live

正确答案：D

解析：推断题。最后一段主要介绍了乔尔.可莱敢于挑战教师协会的权威，

突出教师责任心在教学中的重要性，在教学改革方面迈出了关键的一步。但是，

那些总统候选人却为了自保，在媒体面前不敢公然与教师协会唱反调。所以作者

在本文最后一句才用了虚拟的手段表示出了自己的无奈。故可推断出总统候选人

“坚信明哲保身”，故[D]为答案。 知识模块：阅读理解

Billions of people across the world are in need of and demanding a better

globalisation—one that puts the economy to work for people and not the other way

round. The financial crash exposed just how detached the global economy has become

from our values—a misalignment that is most pronounced in the world’s response to

the global epidemic of youth unemployment. The impact is also felt closer to

home, with industrialised countries experiencing large spikes in worklessness among

young people; in both Europe and the US, one young person in five is looking for a

job. But it doesn’t need to be this way. In developing and developed countries

alike, education is the key to giving young people the skills they need to be successful

in a modern economy. As Nelson Mandela wrote in his autobiography: “Education is

the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of

a peasant can become a doctor.” For that reason, I was delighted to accept an

invitation from the Global Campaign for Education—an organisation that brings

together some of the world’s leading NGOs, trade unions and campaigners in this

field—to convene, in the company of the activist Graca Machel, Mandela’s wife, a

“high-level panel” to promote the cause of education throughout the world. In that

capacity, I have authored a report on education and growth to argue the case for a

global push on education. The case, I believe, is compelling. It is built on the twin

pillars of ethics and economics: ethics because it is unfair that so many young people

are being denied—through no fault of their own—the opportunity to develop their

talents and are condemned to poverty, and economics because this waste of human

capital is grossly economically inefficient. New research presented in the report

shows that a renewed push towards the Millennium Development Goal of quality

basic primary education for all the world’s children by 2015 could increase per capita

income growth in the poorest countries by 2 per cent over projected levels. That

would be good news for developing countries and would make a big difference to the

fight against global poverty—but it would be good news, too, for western economies.

People are often surprised to learn that sub-Saharan Africa is now a trillion-dollar

economy and that it grew faster than India and Brazil between 2000 and 2010. In an

era when both Europe and America appear set for sluggish growth in the short term,

we need to do everything we can to support the development of alternative poles of

growth in the global economy—poles that can boost global demand for our goods and

services. Tackling youth unemployment in developing countries and addressing it in

the developed nations are, therefore, two sides of the same coin.

11． The current globalization is probably one that______.

A．exposes the misalignment between economy and values

B．enables economy to become a servant to ordinary people

C．constrains ordinary people’s life with economy

D．causes the world epidemic of youth unemployment

正确答案：C

解析：属信息推断题。选项A犯了移花接木的错误，文章提到金融危机(而

非全球化本身)暴露了全球经济与人们价值观的不对等性，故选项A错误。选项

B犯了答非所问的错误，题目问的是现行的全球化是怎样的，但选项B回答的是

人们所希望的全球化的样子，故错误。文中讲到人们希望有～种更好的全球化模

式，即经济能够服务于人，而非与之相反；故可推测，现行的全球化模式很可能

就是这种反过来的模式，即经济牵制人的生活，故选项C正确。选项D犯了无

中生有的错误，文中并未提及青年失业是由全球化所引起，故错误。 知识模块：

12． The reason why the author accepted the invitation of the Global Campaign

for education is that______.

A．the organization can put many influential organizations and people together

B．he will get the opportunity to meet with the activist Graca Machel

C．the organization will give the author a capacity to publish his report on

education

D．he wants to promote a global push on education to solve the youth

umemployment

正确答案：D

解析：属信息推断题。选项A犯了答非所问的错误，虽然选项A的内容符

合原文，但并不符合题意，故错误。选项B犯了无中生有的错误，文中只提及

作者将与此人一道工作，而不是说作者接受该组织的邀请就为了见这个人，故错

误。选项C犯了移花接木的错误，文中只说作者发表了一篇文章，而并未提及

该组织授予作者资格发表文章，故错误。从文中第三段第五句开头的“forthat

reason”可以看出作者接受邀请的原因在上文中，上文提到教育可以改变年轻人

就业难的问题，故选项D符合题意。 知识模块：阅读

13． The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 refers to______.

A．in the enterprise of

B．within the corporation of

C．among the squad of

D．accompanied by

正确答案：D

解析：属词义推断题。本题考查的是“company”为核心的短语，由于原文

句子较长，对词义容易造成干扰。短语所在句的大致意思是作者参与了一个组织，

这个组织致力于召集一个高级专家小组，以推动全球教育事业。短语后跟着一个

人名，如果“company”为其最普通的含义“公司”，这个短语即意为“在这个

人的公司里”；但作者是参与了这个组织的活动，而不是在某个公司内部，故选

项A和选项B错误。选项C意为“小队”，“company”本身确实有一个不常用

的意思——“连队”，但若此处意为“小队”则后面应接人数，而不是具体的人，

故错误。选项D意为“陪伴“，原文应理解为“与…一道，共同…”，故选项D

正确。 知识模块：阅读

14． The author writes about the sub-Saharan Africa to demonstrate______.

A．the inevitability of Europe’s declining

B．the importance of new growth point

C．the significance of educational development

D．the influence of poverty fighting

正确答案：B

解析：属逻辑关系题。通过题目中的“sub-Saharan Africa”可定位至文章第

五段第三句，作者提到这个撒哈拉以南非洲的意图可在下旬中找到答案。下一句

说在欧洲和美国发展速度减慢的时期内，支持新增长点的发展就显得很重要了，

故选项B符合题意。选项A犯了夸大其词的错误，欧洲经济短期内增长确实会

很缓慢，但并非就此衰落，故错误。选项C较有迷惑性，作者整篇都在讲述教

育的重要性，但单就题目考查的内容而言，选项C则并非作者的真正意图，故

错误。选项D犯了无中生有的错误，文中并未提及撒哈拉以南非洲的发展是源

于对抗贫穷，故错误。 知识模块：阅读

15． Which of the following will the author most agree?

A．Sub-Saharan Africa area grows faster than India and Brazil in the 21 st

century.

B．Addressing youth unemployment in developed countries may sacrifice that of

developing country.

C．Youth unemployment results from educational problems but not the youth

themselves.

D．Per capita income growth of African countries may increase by 2% in 2015.

正确答案：C

解析：属观点推断题。选项A犯了夸大其词的错误，文章提到撒哈拉以南

非洲的经济增速在2000年至2010年期间比印度和巴西还要快，但并非整个21

世纪都是如此，故错误。选项B犯了曲解文意的错误，与原文最后一句的意思

正相反，故错误。在文章第四段中作者指出，年轻人不该被剥夺展现才华的机会，

而这并非由于他们自身的原因，而作者通篇都在陈述青年失业源于教育问题，故

选项C正确。选项D犯了偷梁换柱的错误，文章最后一段只讲到最贫困的国家

人均收入可能增长2％，而最贫穷的国家并非所有非洲国家，故错误。 知识模

Even the most uninformed student of climate change could tell you that the

solution to global warming is to alleviate global greenhouse gas emissions, and fast.

But the problem is that the sheer amount of greenhouse gases we’ve already pumped

into the atmosphere has irreversibly bound us to a certain amount of warming over the

next several decades. No matter what we do, we’ll have to adapt to it. 【R1】

______Already precipitation patterns seem to be changing, making some drier areas

—like the arid American southwest—even drier, and rainy regions even wetter. As

warmer temperatures creep northward, so do insects and other pests that are adapted

to the heat. The results can be distressing. The tiny mountain pine beetle, which

infests pine trees in the Rocky Mountain region, used to be controlled by freezing

winters. But as temperatures have warmed over the past decade, the mountain pine

beetle’s territory has spread, destroying millions of acres of Canadian pines. 【R2】

______Generations of American conservationists have fought to preserve wildlife and

to keep nature pristine in the face of a growing population and pollution. To a

remarkable extent, they’ve succeeded—almost 16% of the entire landmass of the U. S.

is protected, and the Endangered Species Act has helped save countless animals from

extinction. 【R3】______What good is a wildlife reserve if the protected animals

can’t live there, because climate change pushes them out? What difference does it

make to defend trees from logging, if global warming will allow a new pest to destroy

whole forests? 【R4】______ Last week the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy

brought together conservation leaders from around the U. S. to discuss how to cope

with warming, trying to work out a new framework for the biggest challenge facing

conservation. 【R5】______ So too is the scale required to properly adapt to

climate change, which will almost certainly continue for decades into the future.

“Climate change will affect agriculture, water resources, forestry, transportation,

waste management, energy generation, national security, immigration patterns,

fisheries, food security, you name it,” said Lara Hansen. “We need to change the way

we allocate resources, plan economies and protect livelihoods. “ That means that

the way we’ve been carrying out conservation—picking the right land spaces and

playing goalie—won’t work anymore, as climate change keeps moving the target.

Regardless of what we do, the changes will be coming fast. We need to begin cutting

our carbon immediately, but we need to adapt now as well. The world is changing

because of us; to save what’s left, we’ll have to change too.[A]But global warming

threatens to change all that, by altering the very foundation on which the conservation

movement was built.[B]Global warming was already having “profound effects” in the

American West, and that the future would bring increased drought, heat waves,

rainstorms, extinctions and more.[C]That means climate change isn’t a problem for

tomorrow; the effects are happening now.[D]The conference was fruitful, if a bit

depressing. What’s clear is that the sheer speed of the changes already taking place

due to warming—like the mountain pine beetle infestation— are catching us off

guard.[E]Conservationists will have to work even harder, trying to minimize non

climate-related threats to land and species.[F]The pine beetle infestation is just one

example of global warming’s present clanger. It also represents the unique challenges

that warming will pose for land conservation managers on the front lines of the battle

against it.[G]The answer is to adapt the way we practice wildlife and land

conservation to climate change. There’s a term for this—adaptive management.

16． 【R1】

正确答案：C

解析：作者在前文提出全球气候变暖已经无法逆转，我们不仅必须面对它，

还必须适应它。[C]承上启下，指出气候变化不仅仅只是对未来产生影响，它对

当今世界也发生着影响。后文接着以山松甲虫为例对气候变化的影响进行了具体

说明，因此[C]是正确答案。 知识模块：阅读

17． 【R2】

正确答案：F

解析：上段末提出，山松甲虫的领土也扩张了，摧毁了加拿大数百万英亩的

松树。[F]中的Thepine beetle infestation is just one example of global warming’s

present danger．很明显是承接上文山松甲虫的事例，同时指出气候变暖对土地保

护管理者是独特挑战，在下文中也对土地保护管理者一直以来的努力进行了说

明。故[F]为正确答案。 知识模块：阅读

18． 【R3】

正确答案：A

解析：在上文中介绍了自然资源保护管理人员的种种努力和取得的成效，[A]

中的but语锋一转，指出虽然自然资源保护管理人员取得了很大成功，但是随着

全球气候不断变暖，他们的所有努力都有可能自费。因为气候变暖改变了这一切

得以存在的基础。作者提出“如果气候变化使得受保护动物根本无法生存，那么

野生动物保护又有什么用?如果全球变暖使得新的虫害肆虐整个森林，那么保护

树木免遭砍伐又能起什么作用?”故[A]符合语境。 知识模块：阅读

19． 【R4】

正确答案：G

解析：上文中作者提出了自己的看法，就是气候变暖对自然资源保护运动产

生了巨大的冲击，并以一系列问句结束。然后提出“答案是调整我们对野生动植

物和土地的保护措施以适应气候变化。”[G]中的The answer is…显然是承接上文

的问题而来，故为正确答案。在本段中，作者提出了“适应性管理”的概念，并

指出美国的资源保护领导人召开了一次会议，就如何应付气候变暖问题进行了讨

论。 知识模块：阅读

20． 【R5】

正确答案：D

解析：上文已经提到美国的资源保护领导人召开了会议，因而[D]中的“这

次会议是卓有成效的”很好地承接了上文，同时又提到了气候变暖的速度和规模，

这又很好地引出了下文，就是拉拉.汉森的话，在发言中，拉拉.汉森提到气候变

化会影响到人们生活的方方面面。故[D]符合语境。 知识模块：阅读

Despite its name, Smugglers’ Gulch is one of the toughest places to sneak

into America. The narrow valley near San Diego is divided by a steel wall and

watched day and night by agents of the border patrol, who track would-be illegal

immigrants with the help of helicopters and underground pressure sensors. Rafael, a

cement worker, has already been caught jumping over the fence fivetimes. Yet he still

wanders on the Mexican side of the fence, waiting for nightfall and another chance to

cross. How much longer will he keep trying? “Until I get through,” he says. Last

week the Senate tried, and failed, to deal with the problem of illegal immigration.

After much debate it abandoned a bill that would have provided more money for

border security but also allowed many illegal immigrants to obtain visas. Yet the

collapse of the Senate bill does not mean illegal immigration will go away, either as a

fact or as an urgent political issue. Indeed, one likely consequence will be an outbreak

of ad hoc law-making in cities and states. One such place is Arizona, where the

governor, signed a bill this week imposing rigid penalties on employers who hire

illegal immigrants. Those who are caught once will have their licenses suspended; a

second offence will put them out of business. Even the governor admits the bill is too

broadly drawn and will be hard to enforce. She signed it, she explained, because the

federal government has shown itself to be incapable of dealing with illegal

immigration. One in ten workers in Arizona is illegal, according to the Pew

Hispanic Centre. So the law, if rigorously enforced, could disrupt the state’s economy,

which suggests it will not be. One landscape gardener in Scottsdale who worked

illegally for three decades and now pays illegal workers $7 an hour thinks the measure

is ridiculous. “Who else is going to pick lettuces and trim trees in this heat?” he asks,

pointing to the sun on a 47°C day. He has no plans to change his ways, and says he

will simply move if he is caught. Laws such as Arizona’s will make life more

unpleasant and unpredictable for illegal workers. But they will not curtail either

illegal immigration or illegal working as much as supporters claim. In any case, the

border has been so porous for so long that people now have plenty of reasons to steal

across it other than work. Of five aspiring immigrants who spoke to the correspondent

in Smugglers’ Gulch earlier this week, three were trying to join their families.

21． We can learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.

A．people are misled by the name Smugglers’ Gulch

B．Smuggler’s Gulch is the toughest entrance to steal into USA

C．Rafael will continue his risky attempt to jump the fence

D．Smuggler’s Gulch is secured by advanced tracking tools

正确答案：C

解析：事实细节题。第一段最后两句提到，当Rafael被问及还会尝试多久

时，他回答说“直到我成功越境”。由此可见，C项是正确答案。

22． The bill abandoned by the Senate last week implies that_____.

A．the cost to tackle illegal immigration has overrun budget

B．political intrigues can deal with illegal immigration effectively

C．the Senate once considered to grant illegal immigrants more visas

D．cities and states are pushed to put immigration laws into force

正确答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据the Senate定位到第二段。由该段第二句修饰a bill

的定语从句可知，与that从句内容相吻合的选项即为答案。该句中的allowed many

illegal immigrants to obtain visas与C项中的grant illegal immigrants more visas同

义，故选C项。

23． The governor of Arizona believes that _____.

A．the newly-signed bill is more likely to become an empty talk

B．deprivation of employment helps to drive illegal immigrants away

C．the biggest difficulty of the bill lies in rigorous implementation

D．discussion should be held to make the broadly-drawn bill practical

正确答案：A

解析：推理判断题。根据Arizona定位到第三、四段。第三段第三句谈到了

该州州长的看法，其中用到了too broadly drawn(涉及范围过广)、hard to enforce(难

以执行)这样的字眼，不难推断，新签署的法令也许难以实施。因此，选A项。

24． In Paragraph 4, the landscape gardener in Scottsdale is mentioned to _____.

A．display the ill-effect the bill has caused to Arizona’s economy

B．demonstrate illegal immigrants’ contribution to local society

C．express illegal immigrants’ desperation about the measures to be taken

D．reveal the bill’s inhumanity to those self-made illegal immigrants

正确答案：B

解析：推理判断题。第四段开头讲到了非法移民对亚利桑那州经济的作用，

接着以Scottsdale的园林设计师为例，通过他的经历和言语说明很多辛苦的工作

只有非法移民才愿意做，因此B项正确。

25． In the author’s opinion, the illegal immigration issue in America _____.

A．calls for more forceful laws on illicit working

B．derives from a long history and various reasons

C．stems mainly from people’s longing for family reunion

D．brings illegal workers an unpleasant and unpredictable life

正确答案：B

解析：推理判断题。从最后一段第三句提到的the border has been so porous for

so long(边界线长久以来千疮百孔)及plenlty of reasons(许多理由)不难得出答案为

B项。
