FLORENCE,Italy — Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt.The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly,but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skill s by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.
Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits,or in some cases,citizenship.
Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more
difficult for natives to keep jobs,such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合).Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation,seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.
Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants,and some terms are even tougher.The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.
Italy,which has a much weaker tradition of immigration,has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years.In 1990,immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy’s then 56.7 million people,or about 2 percent.At the start of this year,foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million,or 7.5 percent,with immigrants’ children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.
Cojochru,the Moldovan caregiver,hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy;they live with her sister in Moldova,where salaries are among the lowest in Europe.She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.
Italians always “see me as a foreigner,” an outsider,even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently,she said.
1.Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?
A.To continue to stay in Italy.
B.To teach her children Italian.
C.To find a better job in Italy.
D.To better mix with the Italians.
2.Some people worry that the new language requirement may .
A.reduce Italy’s population quickly
B.cause conflicts among people
C.lead to financial difficulties
D.put pressure on schools
3.What do we know about Cojochru?
A.She lives with her sister now in Italy.
B.She enjoys learning the Italian language.
C.She speaks Italian well enough for her job.
D.She wishes to go back to her home country.

(2018·山西太原期中)
为增进中美学生友谊并加深对彼此文化的理解,你校将与美国高中举办中美学生交流活动,现
面向全校学生招募活动志愿者。

假如你是李华,对此活动很感兴趣,请根据下列要点写一封自荐
信。

要点:1.活动的主题;
2.自我介绍;
要求:1.词数:100左右;
2.可合理增加细节,以使行文连贯。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua,a middle school student from China.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua 答案：
Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文报道了意大利最近采取的一项限制移民的措施,即要求移民通过一项语言考
试来获得工作条件甚至居民身份。

1.A 细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“...in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test...” 可知她参加考试的原因是证明自己的语言技能从而能继续留在意大利,故A项正确。

2.B 推理判断题。

根据第三段中的“Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard
financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs,such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration.”可知,糟糕的经济状况已经让本土人很难保住工作,而这样一项措施使得移民压力变大,可能会导致排外而不是融合,故B项正确。

3.C 推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“...she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently...”可知,她能熟练地讲意大利语,故C项正确。

B项在文中未提到;A、D两项和文章倒数第二段内容矛盾。

Ⅱ.【语篇导读】作者上大学的第一周接触到美式手语,手语的动作和这种新的交流方式吸引了作者。

作者从此便爱上了这种无声的交流方式。

1.A 根据上文的“...to explore new aspects of life,college sets the stage for that exploration.”以及下文的and found something可知,作者自己经历了这个“探索”的过程,所以选A项。

searching“探索的”;planning“计划的”;natural“自然的”;formal“正式的”。

2.B 根据句意可知,作者在探索的过程中发现了某种东西,这种东西让他的大学经历向更好的方面转化,所以选B项。

3.C 根据“My entire family is hearing,and so are all my friends.”可知,作者的家人和朋友都没有听力障碍,所以作者以前没有学习手语的强烈欲望。

4.D 由于家人和朋友都没有听力障碍,所以“口语”在日常的交往中就足够了。

此处的“spoken languages”与上文的“sign language”相对应。

5.A 根据下文可知,作者接触到手语后,被它吸引,开始学习手语。

所以此处应该是作者发现了自己对手语的热爱。

6.C 根据下文可知,这里讲述的是作者上大学第一周发生的事情,所以用story。

7.B 作者观看了美式手语俱乐部用手语表演的一首歌曲。

perform “表演”,符合语境。

record“录音”;recite“背诵”;discuss “讨论”,都与文意不符。

8.A idea“想法”;amount“数量”;dream“梦想”;reason “理由”。

无声交流的想法吸引了作者,故A项符合语境。

9.D 下文提到,作者看到的和他过去经历的完全不同。

由此可知,作者被手语的动作和无声交流的想法所吸引,所以选D项。

disturb“打扰”;support“支持”;embarrass“使困窘”,都不符合语境。

10.B 根据前面的had experienced可知,此处填past。

in the past“在过去”。

11.D 作者感到这种形式非常新颖,自然想要了解更多,所以选D项。

12.B exercise“练习”;explore“探索”;express“表达”;explain“解释”。

根据文章首句提到的“...encourage students to explore new aspects of life...”可知选B项。

13.C 作者那一天只学会了用手语表示字母表。

print“印刷”;write“写”;sign “用手势表达”;count“数”,只有sign符合语境。

14.A 根据上文的“only”可知,此处应该填“slow”,表示“进步很慢”。

15.C 根据后面的宾语those meetings可知,此处应填attend,表示“参加那些会议”。

16.D 根据下文提到的professor可知,作者选了美式手语这门课程。

register for“注册,选课”,符合语境。

17.A 由于教授本人就失聪,所以课上是“禁止”谈话的。

prohibit “禁止”;welcome“欢
迎”;ignore“忽视”;repeat“重复”。

只有A项符合语境。

18.C 上文提到“不久我就意识到这种沉默并不会令人感觉不愉快”,下文又说“如果可以用嘴说
话的话,我们会学得少”,由此可知instead(反而)为最佳选项。

19.B cause sb to do sth“导致某人做某事”。

require“要求”;allow“允许”;expect“期望”,都不符合语境。

20.D 根据第三段最后的“This newness just left me...”可知,此处应为“the new way of communication”。

Ⅲ.1.an 表示泛指,故应用不定冠词,order是以元音音素开头的单词,故应用an。

2.slightly 修饰形容词different应用副词。

3.asked 此处为并列谓语,和前面的called及后面的bought并列。

4.what 在sense后是一个宾语从句,引导词在宾语从句中充当主语,故应用what表示事情。

5.surprised 表示那些人的感受,故应用surprised表示“感到吃惊的”。

6.appreciation 在介词后应用名词做其宾语。

7.to reach 在名词desire后应用动词不定式做定语。

8.thoughts 由后面多个问题可知,此处应用thought的复数形式,即多个“想法”。

9.to 作者前面有许多疑虑,但最后还是决定“听从”自己的内心,listen是不及物动词,带宾语时
后应用介词to。

10.their 修饰名词smiles应用形容词性物主代词。
