GRE阅读题目解析：英国移民

2016-12-29 14:25:00来源：网络

　　P3

　　1

　　In a recent study, David Cressy examines two central questions concerning English immigration to New England in the 1630's: what kinds of people immigrated and why?

　　在近期一项研究中，DC仔细分析了关于1630年代迁往新英格兰地区的英国移民的两个核心问题：什么人群组成了这支移民以及他们为啥移民?

　　2

　　Cressy finds that most adult immigrants were skilled in farming or crafts, were literate, and were organized in families.

　　他发现，多数移民中的多数成年人是熟练的农民或技工，能读写，而且是举家移居。

　　3

　　Each of these characteristics sharply distinguishes the 21,000 people who left for New England in the 1630's from most of the approximately 377,000 English people who had immigrating, to America by 1700.

　　1630 年代迁往新英格兰的 21000人所表现出的这些特点，每一条都不同于十七世纪末迁居该地的 377000 英国人。

　　4

　　With respect to their reasons for immigrating, Cressy does not deny the frequently noted fact that some of the immigrants of the 1630's, most notably the organizers and clergy, advanced religious explanations for departure, but he finds that such explanations usually assumed primacy only in retrospect.

　　至于移民的理由，他并不否认那个通常广为人知的事实，即部分 1630 年代的移民，多数是著名的教会组织者以及神职人员提出的，因为宗教原因选择移民，但他也发现这种解释，只在回顾这段历史时才作为主要原因。

　　5

　　When he moves beyond the principal actors, he finds that religious explanations were less frequently offered and he concludes that most people immigrated because they were recruited by promises of material improvement. (155 words)

　　C 调查了主要参与者以外的其他人后发现，其他人并不经常提及宗教原因，C 认为多数移民是受到物质许诺的感召而应征的。

　　(beyond 在此作 “除了” 理解，in addition / besides)

　　4. According to the passage, Cressy would agree with which of the following statements about the organizers among the English immigrants to New England in the 1630's?

　　I. Most of them were clergy.

　　II. Some of them offered a religious explanation for their immigration.

　　III. They did not offer any reasons for their immigration until some time after they had immigrated.

　　IV. They were more likely than the average immigrant to be motivated by material considerations.

　　(A) I only

　　(B) II only

　　(C) II and III only

　　(D) I, III, and IV only

　　(E) II, III, and IV only

　　选 B

　　细节题的确是阅读里相对简单的一类，但像这样综合的细节题，也不易答对，需要你对全文的多个细节有准确把握。只能先排除那些包含你确定绝对错的项，剩下的再斟酌。

　　1) 移民多数是神职人员。肯定错了，句 2 我们就知道，移民的主力军是农民和技工，所谓 “多数是神职人员” 的概念，来自陈述宗教理由的那部分人，其中多数是神职人员，这样一种嫁接。读不懂就容易被迷惑。

　　2) 有些人对移民的理由提出了一种宗教解释。正确。

　　3) 直到移民后一段时间，才有人开口谈移民的原因。未知项，文段没讨论。

　　4) 他们比所有移民的平均水平更容易受物质因素的考量驱动。未知项，文段结尾确实说 C 认为他们移民的主要原因是物质因素，但其他移民有多爱钱，是不是这批人更爱钱，我们无法判断，毕竟大家都爱钱，熙来攘往皆为利也。

　　于是选 B 。

　　5.The passage suggests that the majority of those English people who had immigrated to America by the late seventeenth century were

　　(A) clergy

　　(B) young children

　　(C) organized in families

　　(D) skilled in crafts

　　(E) illiterate

　　选 E

　　文段暗示多数十七世纪晚期移民北美的英国人是怎样的。根据句 2-3：

　　Cressy finds that most adult immigrants were skilled in farming or crafts, were literate, and were organized in families. Each of these characteristics sharply distinguishes the 21,000 people who left for New England in the 1630's from most of the approximately 377,000 English people who had immigrating, to America by 1700.

　　尽管作者没有明说，不过可以推测，十七世纪晚期迁居北美的英国人应该是 “不大擅于技术劳动和种地”，“不识字”，“孤家寡人”的。

　　只有 E 能搭边。
