A New Citizenship Test
1 Last week，a sample of the new US citizenship(公民身份)exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services(US-cist).It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008.Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has，as the current test does，the new one asks why there are 13 stripes.Instead of having to name the branches of government，an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.
2 "The goal is to make it more meaningful."explains Emilio Gonzalez，director of the US.CIS.Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better” understanding and respect” for US civic(公民的)values，Gonzalez says.
3.The us sin’t the only country dealing with citizenship)tests that aim to get a” shared
commitment” from immigrants for their adopted country’s” values".1n recent years，in addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status，several European countries have adopted citizenship tests.Britain introduced a new citizenship test Last November.1n March.a new butch law--took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test.It involved watching a video showing nude(裸体的)women bathing at beaches and gay(同性恋的)men kissing in public.The aim was to ensure that” newcomers will be comfortable with the country’s liberal social mores
4 Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades.But，today，the fact is that some immigrant

s are kept apart from Inca citizens by culture and they become hostile to each other.Promoting integration has become a major concern for European countries，after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes(少数民族聚居区)in France and the killing Of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.
5 Officials believe that a person’s attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country.However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate(同化)themselves."Immigration is a culture war today.Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?” says Ali Noonan，of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition(难民辩护联盟).

第4部分：阅读理解(第31~45题，每题3分，共45分)
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。
第一篇 Political Spins
Last week，US White House spokesman Tony Snow sent journalists digging for their dictionaries.He called recent criticism by the former President Bill Clinton” chutzpah"(大胆放肆).With just one sentence，Snow managed to make headlines，a joke and a defense of President George W.Bush.Interestingly, this is how battles are fought and won in US politics-with carefully-worded one-liners(一行字幕新闻)made for TV which often lack substance and clarity(清晰度).
"The amount of information that candidates attempt to communicate to people is actually getting smaller and smaller,” said Mark Smith，a political science professor at Cedarville University.This has been accompanied by a changing media environment， Smith said.In 1 968，the average TV or radio sound bite(演讲中的句子或短语)was 48 seconds，according to Smith.In 1996。the average sound bite had shrunk to 8 seconds. Thus，politicians wanting publicity try to make their public communication as quotable as possible.
Campaigning politicians also use 30-'second"I V ads and clever campaign slogans to boost their messages.Republican presidential candidate John McCain rides to campaign stops in a bus named the” Straight-Talk Express".Mocking hopes the name will convince voters he plans to tell people the truth—whether it’s in fashion or not.Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton，on the other hand，has chosen the campaign slogan” Let the conversation begin".She hopes

it will help her appear open—minded and friendly.
But one—liners，TV ads and campaign slogans all have a single key ingredient： something commonly called political” spin".Brooks Jackson，a former journalist and the current director of the non—partisan(无党派的)website Fact Check.org，calls spin” just a polite word for deception(欺骗)."
"I do believe that very often politicians believe their own spin."said Jackson.
"Strong partisans suffer from a universal human tendency：They ignore the evidence that would force them into the uncomfortable position of having to change their minds and admit that they were wrong."
31. Which statement is NOT true of one-liners?
A.They are unclear.
B. They contain a lot of information
C.They lack substance.
D.They are carefully constructed.
32 What changed from 1968 to 1996?
A. Publicity.
B. Information.
C. Communication.
D. The average sound bite.
