31、r unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Historically, although the children of immigrants may have grown up bilingual and bicultural, many did not pass o

32、n much of their parents language or culture to their own children. Thus, many grandchildren of immigrants do not speak the language of the old country and are “American“ by culture. However, in some parts of the country with established communities that share a common language or culture, bilinguali

33、sm and biculturalism continue. This is particularly true in communities where new immigrants are still arriving. In general, cultural pluralism (多元化 ) is more accepted in the United States today than it was in the first half of the 20th century, and many of the school systems have developed bilingua

34、l programs and multicultural curricula. At the close of the 20th century, there seemed to be a rise in the consciousness of ethnic groups around the world, and a sense of pride in what makes them unique. This occurs in the United States among many different groups, and in some cases it has resulted

35、in new names to symbolize each groups identity. In the United States, people have become very sensitive to the language used to describe these groups, and they try to be “politically correct“ (P. C. ). For example, many black Americans, particularly young people, prefer the term African-American ins

36、tead of black, to identify with their African heritage. Some Spanish speakers prefer to be called Latinos (referring to Latin America) instead of Hispanics, while others prefer to be identified by their country of origin (Cuban-American or Cuban, Chicano, Mexican-American or Mexican, and so on). In

37、spite of some very important differences, however, there is still a tie that binds Americans together. That tie is a sense of national identityof “being an American“. Incidentally, when citizens of the United States refer to themselves as Americans, they have no intention of excluding people from La

38、tin American countries. There is no word such as United Statesians in the English language, so people call themselves Americans. Thus, what is really a language problem has sometimes caused misunderstandings. Although citizens of Latin American countries may call the people in the United States Nort

39、h Americans, to most people in the United States this makes no sense either, because the term North Americans refer to Canadians and Mexicans as well as citizens of the United States. The word American, then, will be used in this text as the adjective and nationality for the people who live in the U

40、nited States of America. 31 According to the passage, today many grandchildren of immigrants_. （ A） dont like their old language and culture （ B） dont speak English and reject American culture （ C） only speak English and are “American“ by culture （ D） only live in established communities where new i

41、mmigrants are still arriving 32 Many black Americans prefer to be called “African Americans“ instead of “blacks“ because （ A） they want to be equal to the whites （ B） they want to identify with their African heritage （ C） they want to be politically correct （ D） they want to improve their social sta

42、tus 33 The tie that binds Americans together is_. （ A） the sense of being a citizen of the wealthiest country （ B） the sense of being an American （ C） the sense of being the descendents of early settlers （ D） the sense of being under one federal government 34 People who live in the United States of

43、America prefer to be called_. （ A） United Statesians （ B） Americans （ C） Latin Americans （ D） North Americans 35 This passage is mainly concerned with_. （ A） cultural pluralism in the U. S. （ B） African Americans in the U. S. （ C） history of immigrants in the U. S. （ D） new immigrants in the U. S. 3

44、5 During the last thirty years, the international economy has experienced a basic change. Improvements in the Internet and other communications have had important effects on world markets. Faster methods of transport from one place to another have made the world seem smaller to the businessmen. As a

45、 result, the world no longer consists of a number of separate economies under the control of different nations. Instead, the nations have been integrated into a single economy, and the integration is becoming more and more complete every year. For the first time in history, we can truly speak of a g

46、lobal economy. The most dramatic example of this integration was the oil crisis of 1973 and 1974. It came as a great surprise to the public in the industrial nations to discover that they depended so heavily on imported oil. However, the best evidence for the growing integration is the rapid expansi

47、on in the volume of world trade. It went up by about 7% a year during the decade from 1990 to 2000, and in several quasi-industrial (半工业的 ) countries the growth was even more rapid. As a result, some imported products have become as common as domestic commodity. Some of them are too common for the p

48、ublic to any more realize they are foreign. Production has also become international, which is manifested by the large corporations stepping across national borders and established branches and subsidiaries in several different countries. As an example, U. S. companies are building automobiles in Ca

49、nada, Germany, Britain and Japan. In some cases, components of an automobile are produced abroad and shipped to the United States, where it is then finished with the imported parts. When even the United States has the largest number of such corporations, it is not the only. Other multinationals, for instance, are based in Japan, France, Germany, the UK and Italy. Labor, too, is much more mobile than in the pa
