Or maybe you live in a place where there are few jobs and little chance to earn a living. Your family decides to move — not to another town, but to another country. You and your family have become immigrants. People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes. People become immigrants for many reasons. The most common one is economic opportunities.Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmland, or business opportunities. Other people become immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters. They are refugees. Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest. Others are seeking freedom to express their religious views. Still others are uprooted by disasters, such as terrible flooding or drought. Some people have become immigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains. Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearly 500 years, immigrants have landed on America's shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked lowpaying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do. Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language common to most Americans. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have become part of American life. The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize new lands. By the mid1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American Southwest. French immigrants arrived in the early 1600s and built their first colony in Canada. The English also arrived in the early 1600s. They established 13 colonies along America's Atlantic Coast. In the 1700s, England became the major power in colonial North America. But many European immigrants came to live in the English colonies. They included people from Sweden, Holland, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland. Immigrants still come to the United States seeking freedom and economic opportunities. Most new immigrants no longer come from Europe. They come mainly from Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia. Today, the US government limits the number of immigrants into the country each year. People who sneak illegally into the United States are called illegal immigrants, who, if caught, would be sent back to their home countries.

A.This event takes place 12 times a year. B.Only those who book seats are welcome. C.Writers read their books to participants. D.Nicola Yoon, a writer, will help choose books. 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据THE MIX BOOK CLUB!部分第二段第二、三句可以推断出,THE MIX BOOK CLUB活动每月举办一次,每次读一本书,所以一年会举办十二次。根据该部分第二段最后一句可知,B项错误,C项与D项原文均未提及。故选A。 B There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”, and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends. Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn't consider her my best friend. Best friends don't pay for your wedding. Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying. While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together. Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren't speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother's emotional wellbeing. It isn't that they don't care deeply about their mothers. It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's wellbeing. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friend. 语篇解读:本文主要论述了“母女关系”,作者认为母女关系独具特点。 3.Why do many mothers and adult daughters keep a rewarding relationship? A.Because they have a lot in common. B.Because they have common family values. C.Because they have no generation gap. D.Because they keep a constant relationship. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“While some ... many find them to be extremely rewarding ... of shared companionship.”可知,母女之间的共同之处有助于增强相互关系的可能性。故选A项。 4.What do we know from the passage? A.The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend. B.A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship. C.The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends' friendship. D.Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother. 解析:选C 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知,本文论证的是母女关系不同于朋友关系但又超越朋友关系。故选C项。 5.The author proves his statements mainly by ________. A.listing data B.giving explanations C.quoting sayings D.making examples 解析:选B 写作手法题。本文主要采用了说理解释的方法论证观点,故B项正确。 C (2018·扬州高三模拟)Why do some people flush when they drink alcohol? This effect is a common reaction to alcohol among East Asians. It affects about 36 percent of Japanese, Chinese and Koreans. For many, even a small amount of alcohol can cause unpleasant effects. Most commonly, their face, neck and sometimes their whole body turn red. People might also feel uncomfortable and sick to their stomach. They might experience a burning sensation (感觉), increased heart rate, shortness of breath and headaches. The cause is a genetic difference that they are born with called an ALDH2 deficiency (缺乏). It prevents their bodies from treating alcohol the way other people do. But the effects might be more serious than just a red face. Researchers warn of a link between this condition and an increased risk of cancer of the esophagus (食道) from drinking alcohol. The more alcohol people with this deficiency drink, the greater their risk is. In Japan and South Korea, for example, many people have the deficiency but still drink heavily. Researchers have found that these drinkers develop a form of esophageal cancer six to ten times more often than those without the deficiency. Esophageal cancer is one of the deadliest cancers. It can be treated when found early, but once it grows the chances of survival drop sharply. The researchers estimate that at least five hundred forty million people have the deficiency, about eight percent of the world's population. Philip Brooks is a researcher at the National Institute in the United States. He says it is important to educate people about the link between the alcohol flushing effect and esophageal cancer. He says doctors should ask East Asian patients about their experiences with facial flushing after drinking alcohol. Those with a history of it should be advised to limit their alcohol use. They should also be warned that cigarette smoking works with the alcohol in a way that further increases the risk of esophageal cancer. 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,文章讲述了喝酒引起脸红这样的简单现象是一种基因缺陷所造成的,如果进一步酗酒会导致食道癌。 6.The underlined word “flush” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”. A.walk unsteadily B.turn red in the face C.appear unpleasant D.talk more than usual 解析:选B 词义猜测题。结合第二段第一、二句可知他们的脸、脖子甚至整个身体都会变红。故flush意为“脸会变红”。 7.The second paragraph is mainly about ________. A.the cause of the effects of alcohol B.Asians and alcohol C.the advantages of drinking alcohol D.unpleasant effects caused by alcohol 解析:选D 段落大意题。第二段第一句是该段的中心句。第二段主要列举了喝酒带来的可能的不好的后果。故选D项。 8.Esophageal cancer is considered one of the deadliest cancers in that ________. A.it can't be treated at all B.it is not easy to be discovered early C.it is hard to cure once it has developed D.people are addicted to alcohol 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第五段第一、二句可知食道癌可以在早期发现时治愈,一旦进一步恶化就很难治愈,故选C。 9.We can infer from the passage that ________. A.only some East Asians have the ALDH2 deficiency B.about 36 percent of Japanese, Chinese and Koreans are heavy drinkers C.unpleasant effects occur only when people with this deficiency drink a lot D.the ALDH2 deficiency may be passed on from generation to generation 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知原因是与生俱来的基因差异,这种差异被叫作ALDH2先天性缺乏,故它有可能是遗传的。故选D。 D I remember the thrill of first seeing you at law school orientation. You looked happy in a sea of dour, nervous faces. And you swept me off my feet immediately and I was eager to know everything about you. It quickly became clear that you were kind, downtoearth, engaging and loyal to family and friends. By graduation, we were inseparable. We took the bar exam and were married. The future looked bright — two freshly minted lawyers with supportive families and a dream of starting a family of our own some day. I started my career with the exhausting hours and high stress that are traditionally visited on young lawyers. You were unexpectedly ambivalent (矛盾情绪的) about finding a good job — or any job. After gentle pressure from me, and more from the student loan payments, you puttered around in some nonlegal positions more suited for someone with half your education and intelligence, which offered low pay. Pregnancy — something we both wanted — gave you the most important job in the world. After a few years, we were blessed with a second child. You have never returned to work, although both kids have been at school fulltime for years, and our firstborn is heading to college soon. I've climbed the professional ladder reasonably well. We have the trappings of middleclass success — a nice house in a safe, quiet neighborhood; annual holidays; happy, healthy children; money saved for their college years. But it has come at enormous personal cost to me. My stress level has increased dramatically with added responsibilities at work and my health has become worse. People who haven't seen me for years flinch (退缩) when we meet again and I've attended more than one event at which I have overheard someone remarking on how much I've aged. I don't think I can do this for another 25 years. I often dream of leaving my firm for a less demanding position, with you making up any financial deficit with a job — even a modest one — of your own. I've asked, and sometimes pleaded, for years with you to get a job, any job. Many of my free hours are spent helping with the housework and the kids, and I recognize that traditional gender roles are often oppressive, but that cuts both ways. I would feel less used and alone if you pitched in financially, even a little. That's_not_going_to_happen. It has become clear that you are OK with my working myself to death at a highstress career that I increasingly hate, as long as you don't have to return to the workforce. You keep busy volunteering, exercising and pursuing a variety of hobbies. You socialize (社交) with similarly situated women who also choose to remain outside the paid workforce. You always say you are not satisfied with the family income, but never once consider that you could relieve the stress on both our budgets and your burntout husband by earning some money yourself. Our family is grateful for all that we enjoy and we know that we're far more fortunate than millions who work far harder than I ever have, or will. And I know all too well that work can be unpleasant. But I don't want you to work so I can buy a Jaguar or a holiday home. I want you to work so I can get a different position and we can still maintain a similar standard of living. I want you to get a job so I don't wake up in the middle of the night worrying that my career is the only one between us and financial ruin. I want you to work so our marriage can feel more like a partnership and I can feel less like your financial beast of burden. I want our daughter to see you in the workforce and I want her to pursue a career so she is never as dependent on a man as you are on me, no matter how much he loves her (and he will). But mostly I want you to get a job because I want to feel loved. 语篇解读:本文主要讲述了身心疲惫的丈夫劝妻子找一份工作来分担自己的压力。 10.What can we know about the author? A.He has a family of five.
