參考答案【正確答案：C】
C選項是對原文第二段中最后一句“To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.(首先我們要承認這些生活繁衍在灰色地帶的短暫移民的存在，然后解決移民的挑戰(zhàn))”的同義復現(xiàn)。故正確答案為C。
A選項“需要新的移民分類”與原文“We don’t need more categories”相悖。B選項“放松對移民的控制”文章“Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants.”我們目前有更加嚴格的對待移民不符。D選項“被政治方式所修復”。沒有提及。
