Recently the Department of Planning of New York issued a report which laid bare a full scale of the city. In 1970, 18 percent of the citys population was foreign-born. By 1995, the figure had risen to 33 percent, and another 20 percent were the US-born offsprings of immigrants. So immigrants and their children now form a majority of the citys population.
The mayor of New York once said, Immigration continues to shape the unique character and drive the economic engine of New York City. He believes that immigrants are at the heart of what makes New York great. In Europe, by contrast, it is much more common to hear politicians worry about the loss of unity that immigration brings to their societies. In the quarter century since 1970, the United Stated admitted about 125 million legal immigrants, and has absorbed them into its social structures with an ease beyond the imagination of other nations. Since these immigrants are purposeful and hard-working, they will help America to make a fresh start in the next century.
A) put forward ways to control New Yorks population.
C) studied the structure of New Yorks population.
2. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is true of the immigrants in New York?
B) They found life in New York harder than in their own countries.
D) One can live on welfare if he does not want to work.
A) a big problem in the management of the city.
C) a cause of disintegration of the citys social structure.
4. Where are the new New Yorkers from?
B) Europe.
D) Latin America.
A) Negative.
C) Indifferent

Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe. Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 counties are members, have shown that 45 per cent of reptile species and 24 per cent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.
No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction, he went on. The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.
练习:
A) wildlife needs more protection only in Britain
C) there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than else where
