　　(建议用时8′)

　　MONTREAL (Reuters)—Crossing the US­Canada border to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen 10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security rules.

　　The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert，who lives right on the Canadian border.Like the other half­dozen people of Township 15，crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert.The nearby Quebec village of St.Pamphile is where they shop，eat and go to church.

　　There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530­mile border between Canada and the US，which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.

　　As a result，Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada，as usual.The US customs(海关) station in this area is closed on Sundays，so he just drove around the locked gate，as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May，following a tightening of border security.Two days later，Albert was told to go to the customs office，where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.

　　Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed，but the US stopped a similar program last May.That forces the people to a 200­mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.

　　Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine，but he has not attended a Sunday church since.“I feel like I’m living in a prison，” he said.

　　1．We can learn from the text that Richard Albert is

　　.

　　A．an American living in Township 15

　　B．a Canadian living in a Quebec village

　　C．a Canadian working in a customs station

　　D．an American working in a Canadian church

　　答案　A

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Like the other half­dozen people of Township 15，crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert.”可知Richard Albert住在Township 15，再由第四段第一句中的“...when he returned home to the US...”可知他是美国人。故选A项。

　　2．Albert was fined because he

　　.

　　A．failed to obey traffic rules

　　B．broke the American security rules

　　C．worked in St.Pamphile without a pass

　　D．damaged the gate of the customs office

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Two days later，Albert was told to go to the customs office，where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.”可判断出Albert受罚的原因是他违反了美国安全条例。

　　3．What would be the best title for the text?

　　A．A Cross­country Trip

　　B．A Special Border Pass

　　C．An Unguarded Border

　　D．An Expensive Church Visit

　　答案　D

　　解析　标题归纳题。这篇短文讲述了一位美国人为了去教堂而违反了美国安全法，而被罚款10 000美元。所以An Expensive Church Visit是最佳题目。

　　4．The underlined word “detour” in Paragraph 5 means “

　　”．

　　A．a drive through the town

　　B．a race across the fields

　　C．a round­about way of travelling

　　D．a journey in the mountain area

　　答案　C

　　解析　词义猜测题。根据这段的内容可判断出由于美国停止类似的项目，使得人们不得不迂回200英里的盘山公路回家。故选C。

　　There are two factors 8.determining(determine) an individual’s intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born 9.with.Human brains differ 10.considerably(consider)，some being more capable than others.11.But however good a brain he has to begin with，an individual will have a low intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment 12.where he is brought up.If an individual is handicapped(受阻碍) environmentally，it is 13.likely(like) that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain

　　the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

　　The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can 14.be shown(show) by the case of the twins，Peter and Mark.When the twins were three months old,15.their parents died，and they were placed in separate foster homes.Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence with poor 16.educational(education) opportunities.Mark was educated in the home of well­to­do parents 17.who had been to college.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens，when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Mark’s I．Q.was 125，twenty­five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his twin brother.

　　Migrants to the UK are to be quizzed about their English skills before being able to claim income­related benefits，the government has announced.

　　In a move to “protect the integrity(完整性) of the benefits system”，people will also be asked what efforts they have made to find work before coming to Britain.Work and Pensions Secretary Duncan Smith said people should not be able to “take advantage” of British benefits.Job centres in England，Scotland and Wales will use the “more mighty” test.The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said the test would ensure “only migrants who have a legal right to be in Britain and plan to contribute to this country can make a claim for benefits”．

　　“For the first time，migrants will be quizzed about what efforts they have made to find work before coming to the UK and whether their English language skills will be a barrier to them finding employment，” the DWP said in a statement.

　　Income­related benefits include council tax benefit，housing benefit，income­based jobseeker’s allowance and pension credit.

　　Mr.Duncan Smith said British people were “rightly concerned” that migrants should contribute to the economy and should not be “drawn here by the attractiveness of our benefits system”．

　　“It is vitally important that we have strict rules in place to protect the integrity of our benefits system，” he said.He said the new test would help create a fair system which provided for “genuine” workers and jobseekers but “does not allow people to come to our country and take advantage”．

　　To claim the benefits，migrants will have to pass a “habitual residence test” including more than 100 extra questions compared to now.This will be overseen by an “intelligent IT system” which will ensure questions are “tailored to each individual claimant”．

　　Migrants will be allowed to claim benefits if they can prove they are legally allowed to be in Britain and are “habitually resident” of the country.As part of this they might be questioned about what measures they have taken to “establish” themselves in Britain and what ties they still have abroad.

　　“They will also have to provide more evidence that they are doing everything they can to find a job，” the DWP said.

　　4．What does the British government use the test for?

　　A．Promoting the English skills of migrants.

　　B．Making efforts to help migrants find work.

　　C．Protecting the rights of migrants.

　　D．Ensuring the British benefit claimed legally by migrants.

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“the test would ensure ‘only migrants who have a legal right to be in Britain and plan to contribute to this country can make a claim for benefits’”可知这个测试只会让那些有合法权利居住在英国并能够给英国带来贡献的移民得到补助。故D项正确。

　　5．What do we know about the test?

　　A．All British residents must be quizzed about their English skills.

　　B．The test will ask migrants whether they are willing to work in Britain.

　　C．The test is an act to protect British benefits system.

　　D．The test will help the government dismiss jobseekers.

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第四段第一句“It is vitally important that we have strict rules in place to protect the integrity of our benefits system”可知设定严格的规则来确保福利制度的健全是至关重要的。由此推出，测试的目的是为了保护英国的福利制度。

　　6．What does the underlined word “claimant” in Paragraph 7 probably mean in the text?

　　A．A person who applies.

　　B．A person who is badly off.

　　C．A person who migrates.

　　D．A person who is quizzed.

　　答案　A

　　解析　词义猜测题。根据本段内容可推出，这里主要是指申请定居英国的人。这将由能根据不同的申请者而提出相应问题的智能信息技术系统监督实行。

　　7．What does the passage mainly want to inform us?

　　A．All migrants can claim benefits from the UK.

　　B．Income­related benefits can be a great help to migrants.

　　C．All migrants come to the UK only to claim benefits.

　　D．Migrants are to pass a test to get the benefits from the UK.

　　答案　D

　　解析　主旨大意题。根据第一段可知，文章主要谈论了英国移民需接受英语技能测试才能享受福利。
