Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here; the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere; and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were hying in New York. These are the three States of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it' s a city of dreamers.
What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its speciainess--but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it' s the capital of the world?
People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $ 3.7 million a year for the city' s top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city's bottom 10 percent.
So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illu- sion that draws them?
They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They arc not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.
What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, even the illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city' s econ- omy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.

當今有三種不同型別的紐約人：第一種表現得好像他們生來就在紐約;第二種雖然在紐約卻希望生活在別處;第三種是來自世界各地的一群希望生活在紐約的虛擬紐約人。這是三種不同的心態，其共同點是憧憬和幻想。事實上，這是一座夢想家的城市。
是什麼使得紐約與眾不同?紐約人確信紐約是獨一無二的—但是多倫多更加多元化，倫敦更大，華盛頓更有權勢。那麼，為什麼紐約認為自己是世界之都呢?人們常常說歐洲的城市問題是不平等。但是當今的紐約是美國最不平等的城市之一。2010年，l%的紐約人的收入佔到全紐約的45%。這意味著這個城市最有錢的34，500個家庭的平均年收入是370萬美元。這個群體平均日收入要多於這個城市最貧窮的l0%的人的平均年收入。那麼，為什麼仍然有人願意到這樣一個不平等的'地方來碰運氣呢?吸引他們來到這裡的是機會還是幻覺?他們來到這裡是因為任何新來者都可以在紐約的不同層級中找到自己的位置。例如，你隨便看一家紐約的飯店，他們的廚師可能是法國人，洗盤子的可能是墨西哥人，女服務員可能是俄羅斯人，店主人可能是英國人。他們並不完全平等。他們賺得不同的收入。但是他們一起工作把食物提供給飢餓的人們。紐約向我們展示的是：移民很有用。這座城市利用它的移民，甚至非法移民。雖然他們非法跨越邊境破壞了法律，但是如果他們不那樣做，這座城市的經濟將只是一個空殼，如果把他們驅逐出境，這座城市的經濟也會崩潰。被這座城市的傳說所吸引，每個移民都想到這裡來尋求一種對過去、個人以及政治生活的解脫。對於這樣的移民來說，紐約是給了他第二次生命的城市。
46.B【精析】主旨題。根據第一段內容可知，當今有三種不同型別的紐約人：第一種表現得好像他們生來就在紐約;第二種雖然在紐約卻希望生活在別處;第三種是來自全世界的一群希望生活在紐約的虛擬的紐約人。這是三種不同的心態，其共同點是憧憬和幻想。事實上，這是一座夢想家的城市。故選B。
47.C 【精析】細節題。根據第二段第一、二句話：什麼使得紐約與眾不同?紐約人確信紐約是獨一無二的。故選C。
48.C【精析】細節題。根據第三段第二句話：但是當今的紐約是美國最不平等的城市之一。故選C。
49.B【精析】細節題。根據第五段第一句話：他們來到這裡是因為任何新來者都可以在紐約的不同層級中找到自己的位置。故選B。
50.A【精析】推斷題。根據最後一段可知，紐約吸納了各種移民者(不論是否合法)來促進自己城市的經濟發展。由此可以推知，紐約是一個寬容的城市，故選A。
