  P1

  1

  Traditional research has confronted only Mexican and United States interpretations of Mexican-American culture.

  传统的对墨西哥裔美国人文化的研究,一直以来只注意墨西哥和美国视角的解读。

  2

  Now we must also examine the culture as we Mexican Americans have experienced it, passing from a sovereign people to compatriots with newly arriving settlers to, finally, a conquered people — a charter minority on our own land.

  现在我们也必须从墨西哥裔美国人的历史经验出发考察这种文化,从自治到成为一国的国民,从新登陆的开拓者到被征服者——这片土地上的少数族群。

  3

  When the Spanish first came to Mexico, they inter-married with and absorbed the culture of the indigenous Indians.

  西班牙人刚到墨西哥就与当地人通婚,并吸收了当地的印第安文化。

  4

  This policy of colonization through acculturation was continued when Mexico acquired Texas in the early 1800‘s and brought the indigenous Indians into Mexican life and government.

  这种文化融合的政策,在1800年代早期墨西哥扩展到德州时仍在发挥作用,(德州)当地的印第安人也就得以进入墨西哥人的生活与治理。

  5

  In the 1820‘s, United States citizens migrated to Texas, attracted by land suitable for cotton.

  1820年代,美国人迁徙到德州,发现这片土地很适合种棉花。

  6

  As their numbers became more substantial, their policy of acquiring land by subduing native populations began to dominate.

  美国人越来越多,他们的政策转而以强征当地人的土地为主。

  7

  The two ideologies clashed repeatedly, culminating in a military conflict that led to victory for the United States.

  两种意识形态不断冲突,最终爆发了武装冲突,以美国的胜利告终。

  8

  Thus, suddenly deprived of our parent culture, we had to evolve uniquely Mexican-American modes of thought and action in order to survive. (168 words)

  因此,当地人失去了原有的文化,不得不发展出一种墨西哥裔美国人的思维和行为方式,以图生存。

  1. The author‘s purpose in writing this passage is primarily to

  (A) suggest the motives behind Mexican and United States intervention in Texas

  (B) document certain early objectives of Mexican-American society

  (C) provide a historical perspective for a new analysis of Mexican-American culture

  (D) appeal to both Mexican and United States scholars to give greater consideration to economic interpretations of history

  (E) bring to light previously overlooked research on Mexican Americans

  选C

  A 暗示了墨西哥和美国干涉德州事物背后的动机,搞笑

  B 记录了墨美社会特定的早期目标,瞎聊

  C 提供了一种新的分析墨美文化的史学观点,正确项,句1,2

  D 呼吁墨西哥和美国的学者更重视从经济角度解释历史,瞎聊

  E 揭示了一直被忽略的关于墨美人的研究,瞎聊

  2. The author most probably uses the phrase “charter minority” (lines 6-7) to reinforce the idea that Mexican Americans

  (A) are a native rather than an immigrant group in the United States

  (B) played an active political role when Texas first became part of the United States

  (C) recognized very early in the nineteenth century the need for official confirmation of their rights of citizenship

  (D) have been misunderstood by scholars trying to interpret their culture

  (E) identify more closely with their Indian heritage than with their Spanish heritage

  选A

  挺精致的一题。

  charter 我们在很早以前的一个填空题里讲过 “黄热病肆虐北美,以至于费城 lost its charter ”,charter 是指英国颁发给海外殖民者,建立城市的特许状,其中规定了殖民城市所拥有的武装、税收等权力。

  结合本段内容,墨西哥人是西班牙人加南美土著,他们来到德州,接纳了德州当地的土著,这些人相处是比较融洽的,他们通婚,文化上也融合。

  但这群倒霉蛋后来碰上来种棉花的美国人,美国人就不那么友好了,通过武力强抢当地人的土地。那么一旦建立了 Texas ,美国人的 charter 是不太可能保障前者的权益的,他们在这个新建立的政权中,自然就成了少数派 minority 。
