題目問鹽湖城的移民對Operation Safe Travel這一行動的感受如何。
第二段敘述了美國911恐怖襲擊發(fā)生之后政府對工作在機(jī)場而無有效身份證明的人進(jìn)行突擊逮捕的經(jīng)過之后,第三段用一句話給出了這些移民的感受:were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods。這里的關(guān)鍵詞是angered,意思是“憤怒的”,可見移民的反應(yīng)是憤怒。
A,guilty,內(nèi)疚的。
B,offended。Offend是“使不高興、不愉快、使惱怒”的意思,它的被動語態(tài)就是“不高興、不愉快、惱怒”的意思。與angerd是同義詞。
C,disappointed,失望的。
D,dicouraged。Dicourage是“使氣餒”的意思,其被動形式就是“氣餒的”。
B是正確答案。
64. Undocumented workers became the target of “Operation Safe Travel” because ________.
A) evidence was found that they were potential terrorists

題目問無入檔工人成為Operation Safe Travel行動的目標(biāo),原因是什么。

B,他們大多在機(jī)場工作,受到恐怖分子的威脅。

D,據(jù)報他們在機(jī)場附近協(xié)助窩藏恐怖分子。
文章第二段敘述了美國911恐怖襲擊發(fā)生之后政府對工作在機(jī)場而無有效身份證明的人進(jìn)行突擊逮捕的經(jīng)過和結(jié)果,以及官方給出的如此做法的原因。those captured were anything but terrorists,這里的but表示“除了”,除了恐怖分子之外可以是anything(任何東西),言下之意就是“絕對不是恐怖分子”。Anything but可以作為一個詞組來記憶,意為“絕不是”。 Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status made them open to blackmail (訛詐) by terrorists,這一句解釋了官方逮捕未入檔工人的原因。Be open to blackmail,是易受訛詐的
adj. 可能的,潛在的
n. 潛力,潛能
