Unit 4 Body language.閱讀理解ARecently，I had lunch with a young Chinese student who studies at a college in New York.He is very bright and aspiring and I enjoyed our conversation.Still I felt frustrated and useless afterwards because I was not able to provide him with any good news.Graduating at the end of this year，he asked me how he could find a job in this country and fulfill his career dreams.In recent years，students who found a job here after graduation have had to go through a cruel lottery system to obtain their HIB working visa.And the success rates have been declining year after year because of the ever growing number of applicants.Last year，there were 233,000 applicants, and only 30 percent of them were lucky，less than half of the rate in 2013.And it can only become worse.US President Donald Trumps immigration policies in this country are tightening up and this trend will continue for at least the next few years.In this case，foreign students studying social sciences，a field in which starting salaries are rarely above the required amount，can kiss their visa hopes goodbye.Compared to the older generation of Chinese students，todays young people no longer consider the US as the only option.Many start to think China offers better opportunities in the longer term.This is not to say that Chinese students in the US are not interested in job opportunities here any more.A few years of work experience in the US can give them leverage when they finally land back in their home country.But if the job opportunities are largely reduced by the tightening of immigration policy，I expect there will be a decline.And if that happens，it is the American economy that will suffer from the loss of those educated，hardworking and talented immigrants.語篇解讀本文為一篇記敘文。作者通過講述自己和一名在紐約求學(xué)的中國大學(xué)生的交流過程意識到總統(tǒng)特朗普收緊移民政策使得中國學(xué)生在美國擇業(yè)遇到困難，同時也會使美國經(jīng)濟(jì)遭受很大損失。1The author felt frustrated because .Ahe was not interested in the talkBhe didnt fulfill his career dreamsChe couldnt provide helpful adviceDhe thought the student was useless解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第三句可知，作者之所以感到沮喪是因?yàn)樗荒芙o那個中國大學(xué)生提供有益的建議，故答案為C項(xiàng)。答案：C2Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?AThe lottery system for HIB working visa is too tough.BChinese students have no choice but to return to China.CPresident Trump is tightening up the immigration policies.DMore and more students are applying for the working visa.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段與A項(xiàng)相對應(yīng)，故排除A項(xiàng)；第三段第一、二句與C項(xiàng)相對應(yīng)，故排除C項(xiàng)；第二段中的“the ever growing number of applicants”與D項(xiàng)相對應(yīng)，故排除D項(xiàng)；只有B項(xiàng)(中國學(xué)生別無選擇只得回中國)在文中未被提及，故為答案。答案：B3What does the word “l(fā)everage” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?AAdvantage.BLanguage.CAbility.DEducation.解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第五段第一句(這并不是說在美國的中國學(xué)生對這里的工作機(jī)會不再感興趣)可知leverage的意思是“優(yōu)勢”，故答案為A項(xiàng)。答案：A4What is the authors attitude to the tightening of immigration policy?ADoubtful.
