在美国加利福尼亚的非法移民可以申请驾照了

【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 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.

1Why 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.

2What 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.

3What'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】

1A

2B

3D

【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。

1A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

2B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

3D推理判断题。纵观全文,当地非法移民、政治学家等对于此项改革的看法不尽相同。因此,公众态度是有争议的。
