【答案与解析】移居美国是不少人的梦想，许多不惜以健康为代价千方百计融入美国社会.

71.3作者意图题.本文是一篇册究报道，第一段是文章的中心段，根据本段第一句中的内

容可知作者意在表明移民愉向于食用高能量食物以便融入美国社会.

72.C推理判断题.从第二段的研究可知，的被询问过英语能力的亚商美国人将一种典

型的美国食物看做他们的最爱，而只有二％的没有被询问是否说英语的亚商美国人这样做，

由此可推断选择食物与亚商美国人的处境有关.2

73.A猜

测词义题：结合上文中的“Inthatexperimento55Asian.Americanswereaskedtochooseamealfromalocal

AsianorAmericanrestauran.”以及画线词后面的内容可推知画线词表示的是提供的食物。

"C推理判断题.根据倒数第二段后半部分中的内容可推断此人认为移民不惜以健康为代

价去融入美国社会.

三D细节理解题,根据最后一段第一句内容可知应该把不良的饮食习惯归咎于社会压力.

解读：战后，StanleyVine艰难地找到一份农场工作。半年后，他悄然离开了农场。最后，他成为了世人瞩

目的百万富翁。

C细节理解题。根据第一段后半部分中的“…withnoprospectsforajobinEngland…”可知他之所以决定去

加拿大是因为他无法在英国找到工作。

D正误判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句后半部分的内容可推知他是在报纸上看到那份工作的。

A推理判断题,结合第二段前两句的内容可推知尽管他尽力在雇主面前展示自己，但是对

方依然对他不满意.

3细节理解题.根据倒数第二段第四句的内容可知他喜欢每天下鹿后照看农场主的马.

D推理判断题.文章最后一葭的后半部分提到Stanley此时已是百万富翁赛马骑师，联想到

他二年前的窘况，自然可推出.Arnold因没有料到StanW；会变得如此成功而感到震惊.
