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.
Why did the first thirteen colonies fight with their mother country?
选项
A、To stop paying taxes.
B、To get more power.
C、To set the African slaves free.
D、To win their independence.
答案
D
解析
本题为细节题。解题关键是第二段中的第二、三、四句: “The thirteen colonieswere not happy with the mother country, England.The colonies were paying taxes but did nothave power.They decided to fight and won their independence.(他们并不满意他们的祖国。他们有上税的义务,但却没有权利。于是他们决定战斗以获得独立。)”。根据句意,只有选项D表达的“为了赢得独立”是最全面、最准确的答案。选项A和选项B只是片面的原因,而选项C在文中根本未提及。
