asabetterpictureoftheextentofintermarriageintheUnitedStates.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章的开篇即谈到了“Forthe2000decennialcensus,thatwillno

longerbethecase^,但是在2000年举行的是年一次的人口普查却不是这样;作者

说至ljAsaresult,theCensusBureaushouldobtainabetterpictureoftheextentof

intermarriageintheUnitedStates,这里只提到了“异族通婚”，虽然没有提及“人口的

准确数量“，但从常识而言，人口普查的第一要义就是查人口的准确数量。

3、Theresultsofcensushavealwaysbeenthecompromiseofcertaingroupsofinterest.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章中有谈及到“相互妥协的结果“一Theshiftwasacompromise

betweenthedemandsofsomeinterestgroupsthatwantedtheadditionof

a^multiraciaF'box,andthosethatobjectedtoanychange,fearingdilutionoftheir

numbers,不过这并不是指的“人口普查”，而是“人口普查的方式的转变”一从a

formula-oneperson,onerace—similartothetime—honoredvotingprinciple44一人一

族”、“就像传统的选举原则”、“利用固定格式收集种族情况数据”的传统方法转变

成“peopletocheckasmanyracialboxesastheybelieveapplytothem人们可以填上自

己所有的种族归属

issues,andthemutualsuspicionthatexistsamongdifferentracialgroups.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章在第一部分的最后谈到“intheabsenceofofficialnumbers»with

theheightenedtensionsurroundingracialissues,andwiththemutualsuspicionthat

existsamongcompetingracialandethnicinterestgroups,there'slittleagreementon

whatintermarriagewillmeanforU.S.societyinthefuture,\这里提到了“由于缺乏

官方数据、种族问题情势日趋紧张、相互竞争的种，民族利益集团间相互猜疑，人

们对异族婚姻在未来美国社会中的影响还没有形成一致看法。”

5、Theracialandethnicintermixinginthiscountryissometimesgradualandsometimes

acceleratedinhistory.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章第二部分谈至lj“通用面粉公司(GeneralMillsInc.)制作了新贝蒂

形象，并将新形象推广到整个贝蒂・克罗克食品系列，但是却花费了不少时间”：作

者接着点出推广进程的缓慢暗示着美国种族融合的缓慢步伐。此处没有提到种族融

合的步伐是否有加快的时期。

6、Sophisticatedtechniqueshavebeenalreadyemployedtocalculatehow

intermarriageischangingthefaceoftheUnitedStates.

标准答案：mathematicalmodeling

知识点解析：文章中谈到“几年前，由于直接统计方法还没有实施，资深人口统计

学家巴里•埃德蒙斯顿(BarryEdmonslon)在指导美国科学院全国研究会(National

ResearchCounciloftheAmericanAcademyofSciences)所做移民研究时，他“used

sophisticatedmathematicalmodelingtechniquestocalculatehowintermarriageis

changingthefaceoftheUnitedStatesaspartofanimmigrationstudyhedirectedforthe

NationalResearchCounciloftheAmericanAcademyofSciences.

7、PresidentClintonadvisedthatpeopleasnosingleracewillexceedotherraces

innumber30or40yearslater.

标准答案：betolerabletoracialdifference

知识日解析：文章谈到“美国的面貌正在改变，克林顿总统经常谈到种族宽容和文

化多元，就是因为他认为within30or40years,whentherewillbenosingleracein

themajorityintheUnitedStates”,并号召为此做好准备；其他一些人Othersare

debatingimmigrationpolicy.Almostalldiscussionfocusesonthepotentialdivisiveness

inherentinanationthatisnolongerapredominantlywhilecountrywithamostly

Europeanancestry.其他人在争论移民政策问题。兀乎所有的讨论都集中在一个不

再由欧洲裔白人占主导地位的国家的潜在分裂性，这无疑从另一个侧面证明了人们

应该"betolerabletoracialdifference”。

8、ItisthatplaystheleadingroleintheethnicintermixingoftheU.S.

标准答案：market-place

知识点解析：文章第二部分的开始就提到美国种族融合进化进程，接着分别以通用

面粉公司和高尔夫巨星老虎伍兹为例进一步说明，但作者给出一句总结性陈述是

“Forthemostpart,themarket-placenotgovernment-isleadingthewayinthis

evolution”。

9、Incitiesortownswhereisnotserious,itismorelikelythatblackpeople

wouldenterintermarriage.

标准答案：residentialsegregation

particularlynoticeableinCaliforniaandincitiessuchasDallas(Texas),Las

Vegas(Nevada)andPhoenix(Arizona),whereresidentialsegregationhasbeenless

pronouncedthanintheoldernortheasternandmidwesternU.S.cities”表明异族通婚

趋势在加利福尼亚以及一些城市如得克萨斯州达拉斯(Dallas,Texas).内华达州拉

斯维加斯(LasVegas,Nevada)和亚利桑那州菲尼克斯(Phoenix,Arizona)尤其明

显，因为它们和美国东北部及中西部的老城市相比，居住隔离的情况没有那么突

出。这从反面衬托出事实“在居住地隔离不是十分严重的城镇，黑人更有可能拥有

异族配偶

10、Regardlessoftherealdegreeofracialandethnicintermixingthatgoeson,thetestof

ablendedsocietywillbetheproportionofpeople.

标准答案：whoidentifyasmultiracialormultiethnic

知识点解析：文章最后一部分谈的“Regardlessoftherealdegreeofracialandethnic

intermixingthatgoeson,thetestofablendedsocietywillbetheproportionofpeople

whoidentifyasmultiracialormultiethnic.”•无论种族混融实际达到了什么程度，

检验社会融合程度只能靠声明自己是多种民族归属的人的比例的判断。

11、MoreandmorepeopleintheU.S.tendtoidentifyasAmericanIndianspartly

becausethey.

标准答案：areproudoftheirethnics

知识点解析：士章的最后谈到“种族身份的认定“一Racialidentificationcanstemfrom

othersources,suchasheightenedethnicprideortheopportunitytobenefitfrom

affirmativeactionandotherprograms.葡族身份的认定也取决于其他原因，如民族

自豪感增强，或可从肯定性行动计划(affirmativeaciion)或其他项目中获益。接着作

者就以人口普查中出现的情况为例——在过去几十年中，印第安人血统显然颇受青

睐。1970年至1980年间，在人口普查表上声明属美洲卬第安人的人口数量从80

万增至140万，造成这一增长速度的原因远不止于“出生人口减去死亡人口”，而后

作者再进一步分析其原因Peopledecided：theywantedtoidentifyasAmerican

Indians,tosomeextentbecauseofrisingethnicconsciousness人们决定要美洲印第安

人的身份，这在某种程度上是出于不断增强的民族意识。”

B、Themancouldn'tunderstandwhyGeorgesaidthat.

C、Themandoesn'tknowwhatGeorgemeant.

B、Awanderinthestreet.

C、Amateurdetective.

D、Apolicemanwithplainclothes.

B、Youwillgetmorefinancialaid.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题又是考对,bul一词的理解。对话中有一句话“Youcanapplyforthe

springsemesteraswell,butyourchanceofgettingfinancialaidsislower.”在听的时

内容，but后面即为相反的内容，即disadvaniage。根据这一句话可确定选C.

C、$2000toS5000.

D、$10to$100.
