单选题Immigration and Problems Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the US filled streets all over America in early 2006. Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens—not criminals. Many of these supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immigrants who were already in the country illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures - including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home countries. Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise. Some want to keep the doors open. They need the labor. About 400, 000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005, according to the Canadian Government statistics. However, all this growth means that cities need to adapt. Newcomers don't always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs. With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing no sign of abating, the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass amnesties for illegal, and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back, the government has announced. About 23, 000 migrants landed on the islands in 2006, and riots have erupted in some crowded reception centers. This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help. France's new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to encourage high-skilled migration. It takes effect in 2007. The new law authorizes the government to identify particular professions where France has a talent shortage. Then the government will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or qualifications. The selected foreign employees will be granted "skills and talents" visas, valid for three years. But some concern that it'll cause brain drain in developing countries.

单选题 Migrant (移民的) Workers In the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most (51) to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, (52) increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil-workers (53) the .U.S.A. and Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries, (54) South Korea and Japan. In view of the difficult living and working (55) in the Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can (56) at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a major (57) . Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿) advantage. For example, the (58) living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to (59) on each other for safety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the (60) of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely (61) greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country. One major problem which (62) migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on (63) , so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be (64) since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any (65) , migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.

单选题Learning Disorder—Dyslexia As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia. Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way. One of the world's great thinkers and scientists Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled. The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brain—the part that controls language—is larger than the right side. In persons with dyslexia, the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females, and it is found more often in persons who are left-handed. No one knows the cause of dyslexia, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby's body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help. After they have solved their problems with Ianguage, they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.

单选题 阅读下面这篇短文，短文后列出7个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子做出判断。 {{B}}Superstition(迷信){{/B}} Sailors and fishermen in particular, have always been extremely superstitious (迷信的). This is hardly surprising when one considers the changeable nature of the sea where, even today with sophisticated weather-forecasting techniques a sudden storm can blow up quite unexpectedly. In the days before radio and engines, where there could be no long-distance communicating with another ship or land and when sails were the only means of movement, it was only natural for the sailor to take every precaution to avoid offending the gods who control the sea. One way of pleasing these gods was to make an annual offering. This custom survives in the ceremony of blessing the sea, which can still be seen once a year in some fishing ports. Next to pleasing the sea-gods, the most important thing for the sailor is to know that his boat is free from evil influences. The time to make sure of this is at the launching ceremony. It is clear that the well-known custom of launching a ship by breaking a bottle of champagne against the side goes back a very long way. On the North coast of Britain new ships are launched with sea-water, and on the North-East coast of Scotland a similar ceremony takes place but with whisky substituted for sea-water. In both cases, the launching is followed by drinking and celebration. The purpose of these ceremonies is to keep away evil spirits, rather than to ask for the sea-god's protection. Starting on a new voyage or fishing trip was a dangerous business at the best of time. Once the fisherman has set out for his trip he dared not, on any account look back. It was bad luck even to call after him, so if he had forgotten anything, someone had to urn after him and put the object into his hands. But bad luck could also result from some chance meeting on the way to the boats. In some countries, it was considered particularly unlucky to meet a priest, a rabbit or a woman. In such an event, the only thing to do was to turn back and sail next day. Redheads and people with flat feet were also to be avoided, but if the fisherman did happen to meet them, he could avert bad luck by speaking to them first. For a fisherman to see a dog near his boat was unlucky, while cats were considered lucky, especially black ones. Some fishermen's wives believed a black cat would bring their husbands back from the sea, and sometimes domestic cats disappeared from island towns and turned up in fishing villages!
