　　The man and woman were coming home from a party. They were enjoying the landscape aroundSwansea, Wales. Suddenly, they found the front of their car leaning into a huge hole. The car barely hung onto the edge of the pit. It swayed back and forth like the arm of a balance.

　　In their precarious position,the couple knew that each movement they made could be a matterof life and death. Slowly, slowly, they edged toward the backseat. Then each opened a back door. An don the count of three,they jumped out together. The accident was so scary that they ran a long way before they calmed down. But later they returned to see what had happened. They found that a big chunk of the road had sunk into the ground! And at the bottom of the pit lay their car--roof down and wheels up.

　　Was this mystery of the sunken road ever solved? It turned out that an abandoned mine shaftlay under the road. It had collapsed and taken the pavement with it. Layers of tunnels intersect be-neath the city of Swansea. The tunnels were built so many years ago that no one knows where they end or begin. The tunnels are shaky, like those that ants build in the sand. No one knows when the entire city might collapse.

　　根據(jù)下面內(nèi)容，回答題：

　　People are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems be-tween the first generation and the second generation because they don't have thesame native lan-guage. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many im-migrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots ofareas such as getting a job and trying to speak English ,they want their children to speak English, notonly at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, theirchildren are losing their ethnic identity.

　　For example, my aunt, who has been living in Chicago for twenty-five years, has three childrenand they were all born in the States. The eighteen-year old daughter speaks English as a native lan-guage and she speaks Korean very well too. She has no problems talking with her parents, but shestill doesn't understand Korean jokes, and there are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daugh-ter is fourteen years old, and she doesn't want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her be-cause she is very Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishesher,this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking,.about. The third child is a twelve-year-old son. He speaks English to his parents and my aunt speaks' Korean to him as she does to the second daughter. He also has a problem communicating with his parents. My aunt is trying to teach him to speak both languages, but it is very hard for him because he speaks English all day and does not understand why he should learn to speak Korean.

　　We must realize that language is import.ant and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents' language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.

　　40What do you think this article is about?

　　A.Learning a second language.B.Immigrants who become sick in the US.C.Schools attended by immigrants to the US.D.Language and its effect on the identity of immigrants.

　　參考答案：B

　　參考解析：

　　第一、二段指出C項和D項是這位母親希望她的孩子們說好英語所能得到的幫助。與此同時她也希望她的孩子們能學好韓語，知道自己是韓國人。因此B項是正確的。

　　43Based on the passage, the phrase "your identity" means

　　A.your homeB.your dignityC.who you areD.where you are from參考答案：C

　　參考解析：

　　這篇文章多次用了這個詞：identity。第一代移民對自己的民族特征非常看重，也就是知道自己是誰，也希望自己的孩子明白自己的特征。然而第二代移民卻對自己究竟是誰非常困惑。
