26. A,细节题。第一段的首句提到:As is the case in many cultures, the degree to which a minority group was seen as different from the characteristics of the dominant majority determined the extent of that group’s acceptance.意思是,一个少数民族区别于社会主导群体的程度决定了它被接受的程度,这是事实。答案A正好是答案。其他选项都不对。
27. C,细节题。大量移民的涌入被认为是对美国价值观的威胁的主要原因是什么?答案就在第一段最后一句。 “The large numbers of immigrants with significantly different characteristics tended to be viewed as a threat to basic American values and the American way of life.” 由于大量移民有着不同的特征和传统,所以他们被视为是对美国价值观的威胁。通读各选项,就可以知道C正是此题的答案。其他选项都不可选。
28. D,细节题。给移民上“公民权课程”的原因是什么?答案在第四段第一句: “Americans tried to meet what they saw as a threat to their values by offering English instruction for the new immigrants and citizenship classes to teach them basic American beliefs.” 把移民看作是对美国价值观的威胁,所以美国人就为新移民开办一些英语和公民权课程向移民讲授美国人的基本观念。D是正确答案。
