Illegal Immigration
A key point in the discussion of illegal immigration (and legal immigration, for that matter) is that many of those who are vehemently opposed to illegal immigration are also opposed to large amounts of legal immigration as well. These thinly hidden agendas mean that often the debate on illegal immigration cannot be separated from the debate on legal immigration.
Americans firmly believe in tough laws against illegal immigrants and 70% of Americans want no more than 300,000 legal immigrants to enter the U.S. per year. In fact, 20% of Americans want immigration completely stopped. Taking these numbers as the truth, it is clear that America thinks that we have too many immigrants.
Such a dislike of immigration is interesting considering the success of past immigration. Many people would say that today's immigrants are somehow different than those of the past. However, the truth is that the similarities between the immigrants of today and those of the past are numerous. Their reasons for coming to this country are often similar.
When illegal immigration is not confused with legal immigration, debate can take place in a sane manner. Outlandish solutions like building a huge 2,000 mile-long fence and gathering a virtual army to defend the border from Mexicans are not the answer. Making legal immigration easier and more common is the best solution that we have now.
Which of the following solutions is the one the author will agree to?
A.Legalizing the illegal immigration.
B.Facilitating the legal immigration.
C.Building a long fence along the border.
D.Stationing a huge army defending the border.

Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: When we think of communication, we normally think of using words talking face-to-face, writing messages and so on. But in fact we communicate far more in other ways. Our eyes and facial expressions usually tell the truth even when our words do not.
Then there are gestures, often unconscious: raising the eyebrows, rubbing the nose, shrugging the shoulders, tapping the fingers, nodding and shaking the head. There is also the even more subtle "body language" of posture: are you sitting or standing with arms or legs crossed.'? Is that person standing with hands in pockets, held in front of the body or hidden behind? Even the way we dress and the colors we wear communicate things to others.
So. do animals communicate? Not in words, although a parrot might be trained to repeat words and phrases which it doesn't understand. But as we have learnt, there is more to communicate than words. Take dogs for example. They bare their teeth to warn, wag their tails to welcome and stand firm, with hair erect, to challenge. These signals are surely the canine equivalent of the human body language of facial expression, gesture and posture.
What are the ways animals communicate?
A.Words.
B.Gesture and posture.
C.Facial expressions.
D.Special signals.

Mention the issue of these workers to a Texan, and he is liable to fall uncharacteristically silent. Even state legislators avoid the issue. They know that many of their constituents employ undocumented workers. They also know that the booming Texas economy is driven in part by the ready supply of cheap, diligent, illegal labour.
Dallas is one magnet for undocumented workers. The city's politicians oppose INS crackdowns fearing they will damage the local economy and bankrupt small companies. Houston is another. There a dawn drive past some of the city's 36 informal day-labour sites shows the size of the undocumented workforce. Young Mexicans wait on the pavement, ready to jump into the back of any pick-up truck that slows down to take them. Houston police estimate that over 150,000 labourers, about 85% of them undocumented, gather every day in search of a job. It is a testament to the vitality of the Texas economy that most of them get hired usually to mix cement and shift bricks. No questions are asked, no papers signed. Most workers do not even know their employers name. They are paid in cash, around 40 dollars a day while the average American earns more than twice as much.
According to the passage, the presence of immigrant workers in Texas ______.
A.is seen as a problem by local authorities
B.is tolerated given that it helps the local economy
C.can be considered evidence of the failing economy
D.is a source of racial conflict

The skeptics thus have a vital role to play: to educate the public about the nature of science and to attempt to persuade media producers and directors that they have some responsibility to develop an appreciation for scientific rationality. One of the roles of CSICOP is to challenge the views of pseudoscience pouring forth daily from the media. It is clear that we cannot operate within the cloistered confines of the academy, but need to enter into the public arena. In monitoring the media, we surely have not sought to center producers or publishers; we only wish for some balance on their part in presenting paranormal claims, and for some role for scepticism about theses claims. Largely because of the media, large sectors of public opinion simply assume that psychic powers are real, that it is possible to modify material objects merely by the mind, that psychics can help detectives solve mysteries, and that we can abandon the clinical tests of medical science and heal patients by miraculous means. The number of paranormal, occult, and sci-fi television programs is increasing. Our objection is that "docudramas" are not labelled as fictionalized accounts but touted as fact. In regard to the many talk shows that constantly deal with paranormal topics, the skeptical viewpoint is rarely heard; and when it is permitted to be expressed, it is usually sandbagged by the host or other guests.
It can be inferred from the text that most people who have no doubts about paranormal phenomena are probably ______.
A.ignorant of what life really is
B.enthusiastic about mass media
C.inclined to believe things readily
D.fond of psychic powers themselves
