问题 Text 2 A century ago,the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners.Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay,and 7million people arrived while about 2 million departed.About a quarter of all Italian immigrants,for example,eventually returned to Italy for good.They even had an affectionate nickname,“uccelli di passaggio,”birds of passage.Today,we are much more rigid about immigrants.We divide newcomers into two categories:legal or illegal,good or bad.We hail them as Americans in the making,or brand them as aliens to be kicked out.That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.We don't need more categories,but we need to change the way we think about categories.We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal.To start,we can recognize the new birds of passage,those living and thriving in the gray areas.We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.Crop pickers,violinists,construction workers,entrepreneurs,engineers,home healthcare aides and physicists are among today's birds of passage.They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work,money and ideas.They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them.They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.With or without permission,they straddle laws,jurisdictions and identities with ease.We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever.We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle.Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes,including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated____A.as faithful partnersB.with economic favorsC.with legal toleranceD.as mighty rivals
选项 A.as faithful partners
B.with economic favors
C.with legal tolerance
D.as mighty rivals
答案 C
解析 推理题【命题思路】本题为推理题，侧重考查对原文细节信息的理解和概括。【直击答案】根据题干，可定位至第五段。首句指出我们应有新态度，第二句进行具体阐述，末句说包含那些在现今体系中难以合法理解的，即说明要给予法律宽容。首句的“logic of right or wrong”和末句的“legally”为同义表达。故C项正确，该选项是第五段的概括表达。【排除干扰】A、B和D项在文中未提及，是命题人根据文章主题给出的无中生有的干扰项。
