题目:

The percentage of immigrants (including those unlawfully present) in the United States has been creeping upward for years. At 12.6 percent, it is now higher than at any point since the mid 1920s. We are not about to go back to the days when Congress openly worried about inferior races polluting America’s bloodstream. But once again we are wondering whether we have too many of the wrong sort of newcomers. Their loudest cites argue that the new wave of immigrants cannot, and indeed do not want to, fit in as previous generations did.

We now know that these racist views were wrong. In time, Italians, Romanians and members of other so called inferior races became exemplary Americans and contributed greatly, in ways too numerous to detail, to the building of this magnificent nation. There is no reason why these new immigrants should not have the same success.

Although children of Mexican immigrants do better, in terms of educational and professional attainment, than their parents, UCLA sociologist Edward Telles has found that the gains don’t continue. Indeed, the fourth generation is marginally worse off than the third. James Jackson, of the University of Michigan, has found a similar rend among black Caribbean immigrants, Telles fears that Mexican Americans may be fated to follow in the footsteps of American blacks—that large parts of the community may become mired in a seemingly state of poverty and underachievement. Like African Americans, Mexican Americans are increasingly relegated to (降入) segregated, substandard schools, and their dropout rate is the highest for any ethnic group in the country.

We have learned much about the foolish idea of excluding people on the presumption of the ethnic/racial inferiority. But what we have not yet learned is how to make the process of Americanization work for all. I am not talking about requiring people to learn English or to adopt American ways; those things happen pretty much on their own, but as arguments about immigration hear up the campaign trail, we also ought to ask some broader question about assimilation, about how to ensure that people, once outsiders, don’t forever remain marginalized within these shores.

That is a much larger question than what should happen with undocumented workers, or how best to secure the border, and it is one that affects not only newcomers but groups that have been here for generations. It will have more impact on our future than where we decide to set the admissions bar for the latest ware of would be Americans. And it would be nice if we finally got the answer right.

What should be done to help the new immigrants()

A.Rid them of their inferiority complex.

B.Urge them to adopt American customs.

C.Prevent them from being marginalized.

D.Teach them standard American English.

题型:单项选择题

某公路桥梁,计算跨径为25m,由双车道和人行道组成。桥面宽度为0.25m(栏杆)+1.5m(人行道)+7.0m(车行道)+1.5m(人行道)+0.25m(栏杆)=10.5m。桥梁结构由梁高1.5m的5根T型主梁和5根横梁组成,混凝土标号为30号。设计荷载为公路-Ⅱ级荷载,人群荷载q=3kN/m2。桥梁结构的布置如题图所示。

使用规范:《公路桥涵设计规范》(JTG D60一2004)及(JTG D62—2004)

假定主梁跨中全断面由二行汽车荷载产生的总弯矩值Mp=3500kN·m(未计入冲击系数),其1#主梁的横向分布系数为0.48P(P为轴重)。试问该桥1#主梁跨中断面由二行汽车荷载引起的最大弯矩值,与下列()项数值最为接近。

A.1932.0kN·m

B.966.0kN·m

C.563.37kN·m

D.1006.73kN·m
