Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Many current discussions of immigration issues talk about immigrants in general, as if they were abstract people in an abstract world. But the concrete differences between immigrants from different countries affect whether their coming here is good or bad for the American people.The very thought of formulating immigration laws from the standpoint of what is best for the American people seems to have been forgotten by many who focus on how to solve the problems of illegal immigration.It is hard to look for “the ideal outcome” on immigration in the abstract. Economics professor Milton Friedman once said, “The best is the enemy of the good,” which to me meant that attempts to achieve an unattainable ideal can pr us from reaching good outcomes that are possible in practice.Too much of our current immigration controversy is conducted in terms of abstract ideals, such as “We are a nation of immigrants.” Of course we are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of people who wear shoes. Does it follow that we should admit anybody who wears shoes?The immigrants of today are very different from those who arrived here a hundred years ago. Moreover, the society in which they arrive is different. To me, it is better to build a wall around the welfare state than the country.But the welfare state is already here—and, far from having a wall built around it, the welfare state is expanding in all directions. We do not have a choice between the welfare state and open borders. Anything we try to do as regards immigration laws has to be done in the context of a huge welfare state that is already a major, inescapable fact of life.Among other facts of life utterly ignored by many advocates of de facto amnesty(事实上的大赦) is that the free international movement of people is different from free international trade in goods.Buying cars or cameras from other countries is not the same as admitting people from those countries or any other countries. Unlike inanimate objects, people have cultures and not all cultures are compatible with the culture in this country that has produced such benefits for the American people for so long.Not only the United States, but the Western world in general, has been discovering the hard way that admitting people with incompatible cultures is an irreversible decision with incalculable consequences. If we do not see that after recent terrorist attacks on the streets of Boston and London, when will we see it?“Comprehensive immigration reform” means doing everything all together in a rush, without time to look before we leap, and basing ourselves on abstract notions about abstract people.01. What does the author say about immigrants in America?__ [空格内填写选项大写字母]A. They all hope to gain citizenship and enjoy the welfare.B. They come to America with different dreams and purposes.C. Their background may determine whether they benefit the American people.D. Their cultures affect the extent to which they will achieve success in America.02. What does the author try to say by citing Milton Friedman’s remark?__ [空格内填写选项大写字母]A. It is hardly practical to find an ideal solution to America’s immigration problem.B. Ideal outcomes could be produced only by comprehensive immigration reform.C. As for immigration, good results cannot be achieved without good intentions.D. The proper solution of immigration issues is an ideal of the American public.03. What is the author’s view regarding America’s immigration policy?__ [空格内填写选项大写字母]A. America should open its borders to immigrants from different countries.B. Immigrants have contributed greatly to the welfare of American people.C. Unrestricted immigration will undermine the American welfare state.D. There is no point building a wall around the American welfare state.04. What is the author’s purpose in citing the recent terrorist attacks on the streets of Boston and London? __[空格内填写选项大写字母]A. To show that America should join hands with Europe in fighting terrorists.B. To prove that it is high time America made comprehensive immigration reforms.C. To prove that terrorism is the most erous threat to America and the world in general.D. To show that immigrants’ cultural incompatibility with the host country has consequences.05. What is the author’s attitude towards “comprehensive immigration reform”?__ [空格内填写选项大写字母]A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Wait-and-see.D. Indifferent.Passage Two Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.For office innovators, the unrealized dream of the “paperless” office is a classic example of high-tech hubris (傲慢). Today’s office drone is drowning in more paper than ever before.But after decades of hype, American offices may finally be losing their paper obsession. The demand for paper used to outstrip the growth of theUSeconomy, but the past two or three years have seen a marked slowdown in sales - despite a healthy economic scene.ysts attribute the decline to such factors as advances in digital databases and communication systems. Escaping our craving for paper, however, will be anything but an easy affair.“Old habits are hard to break,” says Merilyn Dunn, a communications supplies director. “There are some functions that paper serves where a screen display doesn’t work. Those functions are both its strength and its weakness.”In the early to mid-’90s, a booming economy and improved desktop printers helped boost paper sales by 6 to 7 percent each year. The convenience of desktop printing allowed office workers to indulge in printing anything and everything at very little effort or cost.But now, the growth rate of paper sales in theUnited Statesis flattening by about half a percent each year. Between 2004 and 2005, Ms. Dunn says, plain white office paper will see less than a 4 percent growth rate, despite the strong overall economy. A primary reason for the change, says Dunn, is that for the first time ever, some 47 percent of the workforce entered the job market after computers had already been introduced to offices.“We’re finally seeing a reduction in the amount of paper being used per worker in the workplace,” says John Maine, vice president of a pulp and paper economic consulting firm. “More information is being transmitted electronically, and more and more people are comfortable with the information residing only in electronic form without printing multiple backups.”In addition, Mr. Maine points to the lackluster employment market for white-collar workers -the primary driver of office paper consumption- for the shift in paper usage.The real paradigm shift may be in the way paper is used. Since the advent of advanced and reliable office-network systems, data storage has moved away from paper archives. The secretarial art of “filing” is disappearing from job descriptions. Much of today’s data may never leave its original digital format.The changing attitudes toward paper have finally caught the attention of paper companies, says Richard Harper, a researcher at Microsoft. “All of a sudden, the paper industry has started thinking, ‘We need to learn more about the behavioural aspects of paper use,’” he says. “They had never asked, they’d just assumed that 70 million sheets would be bought per year as a literal function of economic growth.”To reduce paper use, some companies are working to combine digital and paper capabilities. For example, Xerox Corp. is developing electronic paper: thin digital displays that respond to a stylus, like a pen on paper. Notations can be erased or saved digitally.Another idea, intelt paper, comes from Anoto Group. It would allow notations made with a stylus on a page printed with a special magnetic ink to simultaneously appear on a computer screen.Even with such technological advances, the improved capabilities of digital storage continue to act against “paperlessness,” argues Paul Saffo, a technology forecaster. In his prophetic and metaphorical 1989 essay, “The Electronic Piñata (彩罐), he suggests that the increasing amounts of electronic data necessarily require more paper.The information industry today is like a huge electronic piñata, composed of a thin paper crust surrounding an electronic core,” Mr. Saffo wrote. The growing paper crust “is most noticeable, but the hidden electronic core that produces the crust is far larger and growing more rapidly. The result is that we are becoming paperless, but we hardly notice at all.”In the same way that digital innovations have increased paper consumption, Saffo says, so has video conferencing - with its promise of fewer in-person meetings - boosting business travel.“That’s one of the great ironies of the information age,” Saffo says. “It’s just common sense that the more you talk to someone by phone or computer, it inevitably leads to a face-to-face meeting. The best thing for the aviation industry was the Internet.”06. What function does the second sentence in the first paragraph serve?__ [空格内填写选项大写字母] A. It offers a contrast to high-tech hubris. B. It confirms the effect of high-tech hubris. C. It offers a cause for high-tech hubris. D. It further explains high-tech hubris.07. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the slowdown in paper sales? __[空格内填写选项大写字母] A. Workforce with better computer skills. B. Slow growth of the US economy. C. Changing patterns in paper use. D. Changing employment trends.08. The two innovations by Xerox Corp. and Anoto Group feature __[空格内填写选项大写字母] A. the use of computer screen. B. a shift from paper to digital form. C. integrated use of paper and digital form. D. a new style of writing.09. What does the author mean by “irony of the information age”(1st sentence, the last paragraph)? __[空格内填写选项大写字母] A. The dream of the “paperless” office will be realized. B. More digital data use leads to greater paper use. C. People usually prefer to have face-to-face meetings. D. Some people are opposed to video-conferencing.10. What is the author’s attitude towards “paperlessness”? __[空格内填写选项大写字母] A. He thinks airlines benefit most from the digital age. B. He agrees with some of the people quoted in the passage. C. He has a preference for digital innovations. D. He reviews the situation from different perspectives.
