33、can now request a drivers license.”可知:非法进入美国加利福尼亚西部的人现在可以申请司机驾照,故选A。2.细节理解题。倒数第三段第二句“That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building.”这意味着驾照不能用来乘坐飞机或者进入联邦大厦。故选B3.推理判断题。纵观全文,当地非法移民、政治学家等对于此项改革的看法不尽相同。因此,公众态度是有争议的。考点:考查新闻类阅读文章特点时事新闻类阅读材料的组成有一个共同的特点,即都是由标题(Hea
