In the last few years, the face of undocumented immigration to the U.S. has changed and so has the business of human smuggling. Make no mistake, migrating illegally across the U.S.-Mexico border is a well established, booming business. Today on the show, we meet a businessman and a client in the evolving industry of human smuggling.
   For some context consider the changes in recent years: Mexican immigrants have actually been leaving America. Meanwhile, Central American immigration is on the rise. This shift caused alarm when unaccompanied children from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala started showing up at the border seeking shelter. A new wave of people were making their way up through Mexico, trying to cross rivers and deserts to escape poverty and gang violence. And many of the people doing this were paying dearly for it.
3. What do we learn about the industry of human smuggling in the U.S.-Mexico border?
4. Whose immigration to America is on the rise?
选项 A、It is a flourishing business.
B、It is a declining business.
C、It has been removed by the government.
D、It has changed greatly.
答案 A
解析 新闻开头提到，在美国和墨西哥边境，非法移民的“业务”体系完善，发展兴旺(a well established，booming business)，A中flourishing是booming的同义表达，故A为答案。B“一个衰退的产业”和C“被政府取缔”均与新闻内容相反。新闻中说有改变的是undocumented immigration“没有身份的移民”，而不是“人口偷渡”这一行业。
