62. According to the author, the United States claims to be a nation ________.
A) composed of people having different values
B) encouraging individual pursuits
C) sharing common interests
D) founded on shared ideals(D)
題目問根據(jù)作者的說法，美國聲稱是一個什么樣的國家。
第一道題的答案基本上都要到第一段去尋找。第一段的內(nèi)容只有兩句話，第一句是In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come work and live here? 這里的that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood是一個較長的賓語從句，修飾country。根據(jù)后文可知，這里的country指的就是美國，那么題目問的美國是什么樣的國家，其答案就是that后面表述的內(nèi)容。defines itself by ideals，以理想來定義自身，not by shared blood而不是以共同的血統(tǒng)。意思就是美國是一個因理想而凝聚起來的國家，而不是因其國民屬于同一血統(tǒng)同一種族。事實(shí)上也確實(shí)如此，美國是一個移民國家，大部分居民都是外來移民，大家懷揣著同一個夢想——美國夢。而多數(shù)國家的國民則屬于同一血統(tǒng)，如德國人主要是日耳曼民族，日本主要是大和民族等。
A，由擁有不同價值觀的人組成。
B，鼓勵個人追求。
C，分享共同利益。
D，建立在共同的理想之上。
根據(jù)上文的分析，D的說法是正確的。
63. How did the immigrants in Salt Lake City feel about “Operation Safe Travel”?
A) Guilty.
B) Offended.
C) Disappointed.
D) Discouraged.(B)
題目問鹽湖城的移民對Operation Safe Travel這一行動的感受如何。
第二段敘述了美國911恐怖襲擊發(fā)生之后政府對工作在機(jī)場而無有效身份證明的人進(jìn)行突擊逮捕的經(jīng)過之后，第三段用一句話給出了這些移民的感受：were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods。這里的關(guān)鍵詞是angered，意思是“憤怒的”，可見移民的反應(yīng)是憤怒。
A，guilty，內(nèi)疚的。
B，offended。Offend是“使不高興、不愉快、使惱怒”的意思，它的被動語態(tài)就是“不高興、不愉快、惱怒”的意思。與angerd是同義詞。
C，disappointed，失望的。
D，dicouraged。Dicourage是“使氣餒”的意思，其被動形式就是“氣餒的”。
B是正確答案。
