II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for questions below. (1.0 point)
The populations of many countries include not only the people who are native inhabitants, but also immigrants from other countries. For example, the United States is often called a “Nation of Immigrants” since so many people have left their home countries and settled there. The United States is not unique, however, as immigration continues in many countries around the world. The immigration process has several steps, the final one being official citizenship. That is, the immigrant becomes a full member of his or her new country, with the same rights as native-born citizens. Though gaining citizenship is often a lengthy process, it is not usually a complicated one.
[1] Take for example a person who marries a U.S. citizen and wishes to become a citizen as well. [2] The person must first live in the United States for three consecutive years. Once the three years have passed, the person may apply for citizenship. [3] To complete the application, the person must give the government personal information such as where he or she is from and how long he or she has been in the United States, as well as how many times he or she has traveled outside the country. [4] Then the person pays a fee and sends all of the materials to the government. When the government receives the documents, it checks to make sure the information is accurate and complete. Next, the government sends a notice to the applicant that it has received the application. The applicant then must go to a government office to have his fingerprints taken. Months later, the government will contact the person to come for a personal interview. The applicant will be asked questions about the history of the United States, and will also take an English exam. When the person has completed the interview he or she may become a citizen. Finally, an official ceremony is given to celebrate this achievement.
1. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. The process of obtaining citizenship in the United States
B. The benefits of obtaining citizenship in another country
C. The reasons it is difficult to obtain United States citizenship
D. The time it takes for an immigrant to become a citizen
2. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Becoming a citizen of another country is usually easy.
B. Immigrants can never have the same rights as native-born citizens
C. Spending time is the most important factor in obtaining citizenship.
D. Most countries do not encourage immigrants to apply for citizenship.
3. For an immigrant married to a U.S. citizen, what is the first requirement for obtaining citizenship in the United States? A. Paying a fee to the government
B. Staying in the United States for three years
C. Filing an application at least three years in advance
D. Traveling to the United States
4. The author mentions the United States in paragraph 1 in order to…………. A. criticize U.S. immigration policy.
B. show that immigration is an international phenomenon.
C. introduce the subject of immigration.
D. identify a major reason why people choose to immigrate.
5. Where is the best place to insert the following sentence into the paragraph? This is a very common path to citizenship.
A. [1] B. [2] C. [3] D. [4]
