问题     In 1965, the United States made important changes in its immigration laws, allowing many more immigrants to come and entirely eliminating the older laws’ bias(偏见, 偏向)in favor of white European immigrants. As a result, the United States is now confronted with a new challenge—taking in large numbers of new immigrants who are nonwhite and non-European. About 90 percent are from Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. In addition to the large numbers of legal immigrants, for the first time the United States has significant numbers of illegal immigrants. Many worry about what the impact will be on the American society. Can the American economy expand enough to offer these new immigrants the same opportunities that others have had? What will be the effect on the traditional value system that has defined the United States for over 200 years?
    Many Americans see wonderful benefits for their country. Ben Wattenberg, a respected expert on American culture, believes that the "new immigration" will be of great help to the nation. According to Wattenberg, something very important is happening to the United States: It is becoming the first universal nation in history. Wattenberg believes that the United States will be the first nation where large numbers of people from every region on earth live in freedom under one government. This diversity, he says, will give the nation great influence and appeal to the rest of the world during the 21st century.
    Perhaps the United States will be described not as a "melting pot" or a "salad bowl" but as a "mosaic"—a picture made up of many tiny pieces of different colors. If one looks closely at the nation, the individuals of different colors and ethnic groups are still distinct and recognizable, but together they create a picture that is uniquely American. "E Pluribus Unum" —the motto of the United States from its beginning—means one composed of many: "Out of many, one. " [br] Ben Wattenberg believes that______.
选项 A、the new immigration will contribute greatly to improving America’s image in the world
B、the new immigration will help America to become the largest nation in the world
C、the new immigrants will find their own values in conflict with the American values
D、the new immigration will make the American government accepted by the rest of the world
答案 A
解析 细节题。在第二段中，Ben Wattenberg认为新移民将对美国是一大帮助，美国将由此成为历史上第一个universal nation，即不同文化背景的人自由地生活在同一个政府领导之下，民族多样化会使美国对世界产生更大影响，对世界更有吸引力。故A是正确答案。
