(萨尔瓦多）eight years ago without permission from the u. s. government. some call such people illegal immigrants others call them undocumented immigrants. mr. alvarado thinks it so exciting，for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. but some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. armando botello is a spokesman for the california department of motor vehicles，or dmv. he says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared. the new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words federal limits apply. that means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. ana garcia, working at the central american resource center，says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. civil rights groups say the police and others will not. dan schnur，a political scientist at the university of southern california, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. but professor schnur argued that young，white americans generally support immigration reform, including giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. “its simply because they grew up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did. ” professor schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in california will spread throughout the united states.1. why did the new law make mr. alvarado excited?a. because he got his driving license as a legal immigrant.b. because he became a legal immigrant of california.c. because a law went into effect for the new immigrants.d. because he could seek a drivers license according to a new state law.2.what is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens?a. the words “federal limits applys will abuse illegal immigrants.b. people are not permitted to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building using the new licenses.c. they can be used to act against the police and other people.d. with the words federal limits apply, immigrants can enjoy special rights.3. what can we infer about the new license?a. some undocumented immigrants have concern over it.b. it is intended to reward illegal behavior.c. it has come into effect throughout the united states.d. dan schnur believes that it is more acceptable to young americans.4. whats the publics attitude towards the new law released on january 1 in california?a.supportive b. debatable c. doubtful d. neutral参考答案14、dbab 【阅读理解】科普知识类阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。eating foods high in trans-fats (fats present in artificial form in industrially-produced cakes and fast food.) and saturated (饱和的) fats increases the risk of depression, according to a spanish study, confirming previous studies that linked “junk food” with the disease. researchers also showed that some products, such as olive oil, can fight against the risk of mental illness. authors of the wide-reaching study, from the universities of navarra and las palmas, followed and analyzed the diet and lifestyle of over l2,000 volunteers over six years. when the study began, none of the participants had been diagnosed with depression; by the end, 657 of them were new sufferers. “participants with an increased consumption of trans-fats presented up to a 48 percent increase in the risk of depression when they were compared to participants who did not consume these fats,” the head study author said. “the more trans-fats were consumed, the greater harmful effect they produced in the volunteers.” the research team found, at the same time, that after assessing the effect of polyunsaturated fats made up of larger amounts of fish and vegetable oils and olive oil, these products are associated with a lower risk of suffering depression. the report, published in the online journal plos one, noted the research was performed on a european population that enjoys a relatively low intake of trans-fatsmaking up only 0.4 percent of the total energy taken in by the volunteers. “despite this, we observed an increase in the risk of suffering depression of nearly 50 percent,” said researcher miguel martinez. “on this basis we think it of great importance to take this effect into account in countries like the united states, where the percentage of energy derived from these fats is around 2.5 percent.” the report pointed out that the current number of depression sufferers in the world is around l50 million people, and has increased in recent years. this rise is attributable, according to the authors, “to great changes in the sources of fats consumed in western diets, where we have replaced certain types of beneficial fats in nuts, vegetable oils and fish with the saturated and trans-fats found in meats, butter and other products such as mass-produced cakes and fast food.” 1. what s the best title of the text?
