问题 Which of the following is TRUE about the immigration reform?
US President Barack Obama has said the time has come for a review on the US immigration system. He made his case at a high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, a day after a group of senators outlined a framework for reform. The White House and senators envisage a path to citizenship for many of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US. He noted that the current system was "out of date and badly broken". Mr Obama’s case for an immigration reform reflects a blueprint he rolled out in 2011, though that did not go far. Mr Obama now backs the Senate plan including making illegal immigrants pay taxes and fines, and sending them to the back of the queue before they can become American citizens. His 2011 blueprint also focused on a path to permanent residency and eventual citizenship. After eight years, individuals would be allowed to become legal permanent residents and would eventually become citizens five years later, according to his 2011 blueprint.

选项 A、It was proposed by a group of senators.
B、Mr Obama had carried out the reform.
C、Illegal immigrants would soon be given citizenship.
D、The reform failed to improve the current system.

答案A

解析 录音开头提到,奥巴马表示,对美国移民制度进行检讨的时机已经成熟。接着说他在拉斯维加斯的一所高中谈到了这一事件,而前一天参议员拟定了(outlined)改革的框架。由此可知A“移民改革是参议员提出的”正确。移民改革在奥巴马2011年展示的蓝图中有所反映,但did not go far表明并未实施,故B“奥巴马已实施改革”不对。根据2011年的蓝图,非法移民成为合法永久居民要八年,最终成为公民还须再等五年,C“非法移民很快会获取公民身份”与之不符。移民改革还未实施,故D“改革没有改善现在的系统”不正确。
