　　Tens of thousands of couples across the United States are racing to get married by April 30．This is the result of a new law that makes illegal(不合法的)immigrants(移民) legal(合法的)if they marry by then．

　　The law has sent marriages rising by 50 percent to 300 percent this year in immigrant-rich Los Angeles, Houston and New York．The new law, passed in the last days of the Clinton administration(任期)，contains a large number of measures to help immigrants and their loved ones become legal．

　　Critics(批評家)say it also brings many marriage frauds(詐騙)．A key aspect allows immigrants to look for houses while remaining in the USA－if they are married to a citizen or legal resident and hand in applications by April 30．After the date, applicants will have to return to their native countries to deal with their paperwork－a requirement that could take as long as 10 years．

　　Demand for marriage licenses in Manhattan this year jumped from 100 a day to more than 300．The Los Angeles County registrar(戶籍員)recorder's office supplied 12 997 marriage licences during January and February, and 59 percent increase over last year．

　　Critics say the new law encourages false marriage．There are a lot of frauds as people rush to make use of this window．In the past cases citizens or legal residents were paid US ＄10 000 or more to marry illegal immigrants in which immigration is concluded may be investigated for as long as the years after the vows．

　　“It's not worth the risk to attempt an illegal marriage, ”says INS spokesman Bill Strassberger．

On July 4,1986, Americans celebrated the Staue of Liberty’s 100th birthday. Parades, speeches, fireworks, and other activities contributed to the great joy of the event. The celebration caused reporters and the local people to look back a century to the similar great joy that marked the official opening of the statue. The Statue of Liberty was completed in 1886, but the story began earlier. The idea for a statue was first suggested at a dinner party by Edouard de Laboulaye, a French historian. A guest at the party was Frederic Bartholdi, a young sculptor.

Most people who attended the dinner party soon forgot the idea, but Laboulaye and Bartholdi remembered it. In 1871, Bartholdi came to the United States to interest Americans in a statue that would link France and the United States in friendship. Many people in France had already been persuaded and contributed money to the project. Americans were also persuaded to build a fund (基金) for the statue. Much of the money came from schoolchildren.

After the idea had been accepted, Bartholdi set to work. He worked hard for many years. His friend Laboulaye died before the statue was completed. At last, in 1885, the statue was sent to the United States. It had to be shipped in sections and then put together for its weight and size.

Ever since then, 1886, the Statue of Liberty has stood as a symbol of freedom to millions of immigrants entering New York harbor.

1．Bartholdi made his first trip to the United States to talk about the Statue of Liberty in        .

       A．1986                   B．1871                   C．1885                   D．1886

2．The Statue of Liberty was shipped in sections because          .

       A．it was too large and heavy to move to USA as a whole

       B．USA had better means of putting it together than France

       C．the completed statue was a symbol of friendship for Americans

       D．putting it together cost less money and labour in USA

3．From the content, we may feel that the writer is        when he is writing the passage.

       A．calm                   B．curious                C．worried               D．modest

4．Which of the following titles best summarizes the content of the passage?

       A．Laboulaye and Bartholdi: Makers of the Statue of Liberty

       B．How People Made the Statue of Liberty Possible

       C．The 100 th Birthday of the Statue of Liberty

David Beckham made a losing start to his second season in Major League Soccer when his Los Angeles Galaxy team were crushed 4 – 0 by the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.

Beckham, in his first game since reaching 100 international caps for England in a friendly against France on Wednesday, played in a variety of different positions as head coach Ruud Gullit tried in vain to find a successful formation.

The former England captain and his Galaxy team mates struggled to cope with playing at altitude, just outside Denver.

“It is always going to be tough when you travel when you have got international games,” Beckham told reporters. It is always tough when you are back from England and you are adjusting to the time difference.

“I felt ok for most of the match but I was maybe not at my sharpest and maybe the altitude had something to do with that.”

Former Manchester United winger Terry Cooke opened scoring for Colorado after 10 minutes.

The Galaxy went further behind after an hour when defender Abel Xavier was adjudged to have fouled Rapids forward Omar Cummings inside the penalty area(罰球區(qū)). Christian Gomez converted the spot-kick after they argued fiercely.

“I find it hard not to criticize some of the decisions tonight but I’ve been told I’ll be fined if I do,” said Beckham. “But certain decisions change games. I think that has happened tonight.”

Cummings added Colorado’s third goal on 67 minutes before Colin Clark scored the fourth with 10 minutes left. 

Xavier was sent off late in the game for using abusive language towards referee Abiodun Okulaja and Colorado substitute Ciaran O’Brien was also dismissed after a foul on Carlos Ruiz.

1．The news report is mainly about        .

       A．Beckham’s new team Galaxy

       B．referee Okulaja’s preference

       C．Beckham’s good performance

       D．possible reasons for Galaxy’s first failure

2．We can know that        .

       A．Beckham is captain of England

       B．Beckham was not in form during the game

       C．Gullit found a proper position for Beckham

       D．Beckham was well adjusted to the time difference

3．By saying “certain decisions change games” Beckham means the referee          .

       A．carried out judgment in the Galaxy’s favor

       B．could do anything he liked on the football field

       C．carried out judgment in the Rapids’ favor

       D．might have received money from the Rapids

4．We know the        goal of Rapids was controversial.

       A．1 st                     B．2 nd                    C．3 rd                    D．4 th

5．We can infer that        is fighting for Galaxy.

       A．Xavier      B．O’Brien     C．Cooke      D．Gummings
