Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked
27、 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 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
28、 of the matter is, though, that however cold and cruel things seem on the surface, there has never 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
29、themselves. You couldnt call that cold or cruel. Everyone must have seen pictures at least of 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 expressiv
30、e than the great number of poor people, its the great number of rich people. Theres no need to 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
31、 rich themselves can still dream about it. And they respond to the hope of getting what they see 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 obl
32、ivious to (不在意 ) each other. He feels no envy; she no remorse. Theres a disregard for the past 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
33、 them. Their heritage is somewhere else. Old million-dollar buildings are constantly being torn 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
34、built on four times. Because strangers only see New Yorkers in move, they leave with the impression 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
35、 rest of the country is going. 31 The author thinks that most New Yorkers_. （ A） are hostile to 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）
36、 there are more rich people than poor people in New York city （ B） its easy to get rich in New 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
37、 get along in New York 33 For immigrants, what New York used to be means nothing because_. （ A） 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 th
38、e last paragraph is that_, （ A） New York is moving fast and is getting nowhere （ B） New York seems to be changing for the worse （ C） New York is a leader among American cities （ D） New York is often criticized for being in great mindless rush 35 The authors purpose in writing this text is to_. （ A）
39、criticize New York （ B） praise New York （ C） introduce New York to visitors （ D） express sympathy 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 dar
40、k, police dogs hunting us, drinking water from the rain pools in the road and a rude awakening 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, d
41、esperate to leave his impoverished country for the nirvana of clearing tables in an Athens restaurant, 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
42、line between those whose passports allow them to move and settle reasonably freely across the 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
43、between labours rewards in the poor world and the rich, even for something as menial as clearing 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. B
44、ut those gains can be made only at great political cost. Countries rarely welcome strangers into 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 co
45、untries, and blocked the agreement being negotiated with Mexico. In Europe, the far right has 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 the
46、ir country. The result has been a string of measures to try to tighten and enforce immigration 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 f
47、rom 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 controls truly watertight. If the European Union admits ten new members, it will eventually need to accept not
48、just their goods but their workers too. Technology also aids migration. The fall in transport costs has made it cheaper to risk a trip, and cheap international telephone calls allow Bulgarians in Spain to tip off their cousins back home that there are fruit-picking jobs available. The United States
49、shares a long border with a developing country; Europe is a bus-ride from the former Soviet block and a boat-ride across the Mediterranean from the worlds poorest continent. The rich economies create millions of jobs that the underemployed young in the poor world willingly fill. So demand and supply will constantly conspire to undermine even the most determined restrictions on immigration. 36
