The United States is a country of immigrants. After the Native Americans, all people have an immigrant past except African slaves and their descendants (后代). The first immigrants were Europeans, and they arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. They arrived from England on a ship named the Mayflower to escape religious persecution (迫害).
The first European immigrants formed thirteen colonies (殖民地) under England. The thirteen colonies were not happy with the mother country, England. The colonies were paying taxes bu t did not have power. They decided to fight and won their independence. The new Americans wrote the Declaration of Independence. It said that all men were created equal, but it did not include Indians, African slaves or women. The colonies celebrated their independence from England on July 4, 1776. They became a new country, and George Washington was the first president.
In the 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s, many immigrants came to the United States from different countries. Everyone wanted jobs, freedom, education, and better opportunities. From the 1950s to 2003, many new immigrants came because of war, or for economic or political reasons. Many of these people were Asian or Hispanic. The United States Census said that the total population reached 300 million in 2006. Some people think that these new immigrants contribute to the U.S. economy and help keep prices down. Some Americans think that the United States needs immigrants’ energy and positive attitude about working in Sow-level or difficult jobs. Other people disagree with this idea and think these immigrants take the jobs that the Americans need or want.
According to the passage, who are the first immigrants in America?
选项
A、The African slaves.
B、The Asian descendents.
C、The Englishmen.
D、The native Americans.
答案
C
解析
本题为细节题。本题的问题是“美洲最早的移民是谁?”解题关键是文章第一段第三句话:“The first immigrants were Europeans,and they arrived in Jamestown,Virginia,in 1607.”。该句明确说了美国的第一批移民是欧洲人。选项A.The African slaves., “非洲奴隶”;B.The Asian descendents., “亚洲后裔”;D.The native Americans., “美洲本土人”,都明显不符合原文意思,只有C.The Englishmen., “英国人”才属于原文提到的欧洲人,故选C。
