The population is 3.8 million, of which about 1.5 million live in San Juan, although about another two million Puerto Ricans live in the USA. Average life is 73.8 years and GDP per person is US $ 12,212, the highest in Latin America, although not up to the level of mainland USA. The people are largely a mixture of Amerindian, Taino­Arawak, Spanish and African. Most Puerto Ricans do not speak English and less than 30% speak it fluently(流利地). Second generation Puerto Ricans who were born in New York, but who have returned to the island, are called Nuyoricans(新波多利哥人). The people are very friendly and hospitable but there is crime, linked to drugs and unemployment.

　　1．It can be inferred from the passage that________.

　　A．Puerto Rico belongs to the USA

　　B．Puerto Rico is part of Spanish

　　C．Puerto Rico is an independent country

　　D．Puerto Rico has the highest peak in Latin America

　　答案：A　细节理解题。波多黎各是南美洲的岛屿，属于美国。由首句Puerto Rico may be part of the USA得出。

　　．The underlined word“It”in the first paragraph refers to________.

　　A．the country

　　B．a result

　　C．a mixture of very new and very old

　　D．Puerto Rico

　　答案：C　语意理解题。应向前找，再向后看看it代表的内容，此处是指既古老又现代的混合体。It在句中作代词，指代前一句中的名词或短语，首先可以排除B。a result，因为“as a result”是插入语，A项the country虽然意思正确，但与C项相比就相对间接了；而D项Puerto Rico比A项更加间接，故排除。
