真题回放
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 Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (难民辩护联盟). (2008年)
A. Preparation for taking a citizenship test.
B. Citizenship tests in European countries.
C. Importance of promoting integration.
D. Necessity to know the branches of government.
E. Different views on the new citizenship test.
F. Goal of the new citizenship test.
[答案解析]该段共三句话,前两句用表达转折关系的however来衔接,分别表达officials和some critics对公民身份测试所持的不同观点。第三句是对第二句的举例说明。由此推断,该段主旨大意即为不同的人对公民身份测试持有不同观点,这与E选项意思一致,故E为正确答案。
