D  New US Citizenship Test
E  Different views on the new citizenship test
F  Goal of the new citizenship test
 
80.
 
Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services（US-CIS）. It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are l3 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.
81.
 
The newly released US citizenship exam has included more information and knowledge. People who take it need to know more about the adopted country and have a deeper insight into its culture and values. “The goal is to make it more meaningful.” explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US—CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better “understanding and respect” for US civic values, Gonzalez says.  
82.
 
The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a “shared commitment” from immigrants for their adopted country's “values”. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language／work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude（裸體的）women bathing at beaches and gay（同性戀的）men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that “newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores（風俗）”.
83.
 
Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile (敵對的) to each other. Promoting unity has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes（少數(shù)民族聚居區(qū)）in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.
84.
 
Officials believe that a person's attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate（同化）themselves. “Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?” says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition（難民辯護聯(lián)盟）.

第二節(jié)讀寫任務(wù)(共1小題，滿分25分)
閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach
problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people
express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing
control of themselves. But still other people control their anger. They cannot or will not express it.
Recently some doctors have found that people who express anger too often and
violently become, in fact, more and not less angry. This can cause medical problems.
Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous. They
believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart
disease, and they believe that those who deep their anger inside may face a greater
danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first
step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "

Lane waited on the bench nearest the bridge, as he had been instructed.. The strong wind blew straight across the river, and he had to put his overcoat closer about him.
He went over his instructions in his mind. The spy would appear at four o’clock. He would talk to Lane for a while, after which he would get up, leaving his newspapers behind. The plans would be found inside.
A distant clock began to strike the hour. As if from nowhere, a man appeared and sat down beside Lane, placing his newspaper on the seat between them. He was thin and middle-aged, and seemed in need of a good meal. He didn’t look like a successful spy, Lane thought. His talk about the weather was uninteresting.
A few minutes later he got up and continued on his way. Lane picked up the paper which lay on the bench, as if he wanted to read the news. He was excited to see the plans, stuck on the center page. At that moment, however, there was a strong gust of wind which lifted the newspaper into the air, like a kite, and blew it into the river.
小題1:Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A．Sitting on the bench, Lane repeated his orders to himself
B．Lane would read about the plans in the newspaper.

Mr. Fitzpatrick has given much attention to his “Weight reduction” (減輕體重) programs. Just last year, for example, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he put on twenty pounds instead of losing thirty he promised he would.
The year before that, he joined a health club. He exercised every day and ate less food. At the end of three months, however, he began making excuses about why he couldn’t go there more often.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
This week in our Foreign Student Series，we talk about getting an American education online．A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university．Finding the right online program requires research．Talking to advisers and recruiters（招募者）can help．Keep in mind，though，that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs．
The Council on Higher Education Accreditation（CHEA）recognizes a group in Washington，D．C．，to accredit（授權(quán)）schools that offer distance learning．One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council．
We asked the executive director，Michael Lambert，for advice on choosing a distance learning program．He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if a school is accredited．The address is c-h-e-a dot o-r-g．Next，make sure the school offers what you need．Do you need a degree，or will a certificate or license be enough?
Another consideration is cost．Often the published price does not include all the costs --like books．Technology requirements can also add to the costs．Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?
Also，consider the level of interaction that an online program offers．You might never meet the teacher or other students in person．
Finally，and this is our own advice，find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you．Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true．
56．This passage is probably from ________．
A．a(chǎn) magazine          B．a(chǎn) newspaper    
C．a(chǎn) text book       D．a(chǎn) radio program
57．This passage is mainly about ________．
A．how to get an American education online
B．what to learn in an American university
C．the introductions to schools offering distance learning
D．the advantages of online education
58．What else should be taken into consideration about cost besides the published price?
A．The cost for books and technology requirements．
B．The cost for books and a new computer．
C．The cost for new software and a high-speed Internet connection．
D．The cost for technology requirements and even a classroom．
59．How can you find the information about schools accredited to offer distance learning easily?
A．Ask the members of CHEA．        B．Go on the website of chea.org．
C．Ask Michael Lambert for help．      D．Talk to advisers and recruiters．
60 According to Michael Lambert，________．
A．to get a certificate or a license is much easier than to get a degree
B．it’s not fair for the schools to charge extra money beside the published price
C．the level of interaction that an online program offers is quite considerable
D．people’s comments about schools are always unbelievable

第二節(jié)（共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分）
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A—F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余選項。
A．Environment protection
B．Driving experience
C．Self – driving
D．Safety
E. Computing and communications
F. Wireless communications

 

 
61．

Today, the Internet is in a few cars; tomorrow, broadband (寬帶) will be in all of them. Any capability a personal computer has, a car will have, including two – way wireless communications for receiving e – mail, music, and movies. When you’re crossing the lonely place, the kids can watch TV if they’re bored. Every passenger will have a video feed.

 

 
62．

    Every car will have a self – driving system linked to GPS satellites. Radar sensors (傳感器) will track nearby cars. On the freeway, they’ll slow your car when the car ahead of you slows; in town, they’ll help you park without hitting other cars. At rush hour, you’ll get the routes around traffic jams and accidents. The self – driving system in a car makes it possible for the car to drive itself, though some scientists say that’s 30 to 40 years off.

 

 
63．

    Motor vehicles today represent 20 to 30 percent of the world’s energy use. In the near future, a small gasoline engine and an electric motor will be brought together. Drivers will use electricity in a storage battery for short distances. Longer term, cars might burn hydrogen or use a fuel cell that converts a fuel like hydrogen and combines it with oxygen to create power. Then the waste will be pure water.

 

 
64．

   You’ll use the voice control: “Make it a bit cooler” or “find me country music”. Lighter, more reliable electronic controls replace mechanical controls. Fiber optics (光纖) replace electrical wires and light bulbs. Seats will be air – conditioned. The car will travel with one side higher than the other when turning, just as an airplane does now.

 

 
65．

   Cars will avoid some accidents by maintaining safe following distances, and by sensing sleepy or drunk drivers. Air bags will adapt for every passenger according to their size, weight, and position in case accidents happen.
