30、e through the center. 30 It might appear to any casual visitor who may have taken a few rides about town in a taxicab that all New Yorkers are filled with a loudmouthed ill will towards each other. The fact of the matter is, though, that however cold and cruel things seem on the surface, there has n

31、ever been a society of people in all history with so much compassion for its fellow man. It clothes, feeds, and houses 15 percent of its own because 1. 26 million people in New York are unable to do it for themselves. You couldnt call that cold or cruel. Everyone must have seen pictures at least of

32、the great number of poor people who live in New York. And it seems strange, in view of this, that so many people come here seeking their fortune. But if anything about the citys population is more expressive than the great number of poor people, its the great number of rich people. Theres no need to

33、 search for buried treasure in New York. The great American dream is out in the open for everyone to see and to reach for. It must be because even those people who can never realistically believe theyll get rich themselves can still dream about it. And they respond to the hope of getting what they s

34、ee others having. Their hope alone seems to be enough to sustain them. The woman going into Tiffanys to buy another diamond pin can pass within ten feet of a man without money enough for lunch. They are oblivious to (不在意 ) each other. He feels no envy; she no remorse. Theres a disregard for the past

35、 in New York that dismays even a lot of New Yorkers. Its true that no one pays much attention to antiquity. The immigrants who came here came for something new, and what New York used to be means nothing to them. Their heritage is somewhere else. Old million-dollar buildings are constantly being tor

36、n down and replaced by new fifty-million-dollar ones. In London, Rome, Paris, much of the land has only been built on once in all their long history. In relatively new New York, some lots have already been built on four times. Because strangers only see New Yorkers in move, they leave with the impre

37、ssion that the city is in one great mindless rush to nowhere. They complain that its moving too fast, but they dont notice that its getting there first. For better and for worse, New York has been where the rest of the country is going. 31 The author thinks that most New Yorkers_. （ A） are hostile t

38、o visitors （ B） are cold and cruel toward each other （ C） are full of compassion for their fellow man （ D） are unable to get the bare necessities of life 32 It is implied in the second paragraph that_. （ A） there are more rich people than poor people in New York city （ B） its easy to get rich in New

39、 York because the American dream is out in the open for everyone （ C） in New York, the poor resent the rich, and the rich feel remorse about their wealth （ D） the rich and poor both have a place and seem to get along in New York 33 For immigrants, what New York used to be means nothing because_. （ A

40、） they dont like New York at all （ B） they dont like the old things in New York （ C） they dont know much about New Yorks past （ D） they do not relate New Yorks past to their own roots 34 The main idea of the last paragraph is that_, （ A） New York is moving fast and is getting nowhere （ B） New York s

42、thy with New Yorkers 35 “With two friends I started a journey to Greece, the most horrendous of all journeys. It had all the details of a nightmare: barefoot walking in rough roads, risking death in the dark, police dogs hunting us, drinking water from the rain pools in the road and a rude awakening

43、 at gunpoint from the police under a bridge. My parents were terrified and decided that it would be better to pay someone to hide me in the back of a car. “ This 16-year-old Albanian high-school drop-out, desperate to leave his impoverished country for the nirvana of clearing tables in an Athens res

44、taurant, might equally well have been a Mexican heading for Texas or an Algerian youngster sneaking into France. He had the misfortune to be born on the wrong side of a line that now divides the world: the line between those whose passports allow them to move and settle reasonably freely across the

45、richer worlds borders, and those who can do so only hidden in the back of a truck, and with forged papers. Tearing down that divide would be one of the fastest ways to boost global economic growth. The gap between labours rewards in the poor world and the rich, even for something as menial as cleari

46、ng tables, dwarfs the gap between the prices of traded goods from different parts of the world. The potential gains from liberalizing migration therefore dwarf those from removing barriers to world trade. But those gains can be made only at great political cost. Countries rarely welcome strangers in

47、to their midst. Everywhere, international migration has shot up the list of political concerns. The horror of September 11th has toughened Americas approach to immigrants, especially students from Muslim countries, and blocked the agreement being negotiated with Mexico. In Europe, the far right has

48、flourished in elections in Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands. Although many more immigrants arrive legally than hidden in trucks or boats, voters fret that governments have lost control of who enters their country. The result has been a string of measures to try to tighten and enforce immigration

49、 rules. But however much governments clamp down, both immigration and immigrants are here to stay. Powerful economic forces are at work. It is impossible to separate the globalisation of trade and capital from the global movement of people. Borders will leak; companies will want to be able to move staffs and liberal democracies will balk at introducing the draconian measures required to make co
