Passage 1
Perhaps no single monument in the USA is as famous as
the Statue of Liberty. Standing on a small island in New York
Harbor， the crowned lady， holding aloft in her right hand the
torch of freedom and in her left hand a tablet which is inscribed
“July 4th， 1776”， is a symbol of American democracy. She is
colossal. She is 151 ft. high and the pedestal on which she
stands is almost as much. An elevator takes visitors to the top of
the pedestal， around which a balcony runs.
A spiral staircase goes up to the crown， and another to
the torch. The State of Liberty was a gift to the USA from France
in 1886， as a mark of friendship and also in memory of the aid
8



France gave the Americans during the American Revolution.
For millions of immigrants the Statue was their first sight
of the promised land， and for a few it was also the last， as
they sailed back home again. About a mile from Liberty Island，
there is another small island， called Ellis Island， which was
looked upon with dread by the immigrants. For it was here that
they had to wait their turn to be examined by doctors and
officials. Most of the immigrants could not speak a word of
English. But only two out of 100 immigrants were refused
admission to New York City. Often the person refused turned
out to be a grand-mother or a weary， frightened girl
mistakenly labeled “feeble-minded.” Sometimes husbands and
wives were parted because one of them happened to have a
bad cough and was suspected of having tuberculosis.
New York City was a bitter disillusionment to some
immigrants. Far from being a city paved with gold， it was a city
teeming with overcrowded， unhealthy and unsafe ghettos. The
immigrants looked for earlier immigrants of their own
nationality or religion. So Italian， Polish， Irish， Jewish
neighborhoods grew up. Because they could not speak English，
the newcomers found it difficult to get work at once， and their
living quarters were often slums.
9



However， they found in the USA opportunities of
bettering themselves. Today immigrants no longer have to
endure the indignities of Ellis Island. The grim buildings were
closed down in 1924. In 1976， Ellis Island became an historic
monument.
1. Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A. Gateway to the USA B. Statue of Liberty
C. Ellis Island D. Immigrants of the USA
2. The word “colossal”（Para.1， Line 4） means ______.
A. miniature B. colorful C. enormous D. beautiful
3. Immigrants looked upon Ellis Island with dread because
______.
A. they could not speak a word
B. they might be refused admission to the USA
C. husbands and wives might be recognized
D. they were suspected
4. Paragraph 4 implies that ______.
A. New York City was paved with gold
B. immigrants of the same nationality or religion lived in
the same building
C. immigrants lived everywhere
D. some immigrants were disappointed at New York City
