美国入籍 中英对照新考题 144条
作者:admin 日期:2007-06-10

On November 30, 2006, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Emilio Gonzalez announced the release of 144
questions and answers for the pilot test of a new naturalization test. USCIS will administer the pilot test to about 5,000
volunteer citizenship applicants in 10 cities beginning in early 2007.
USCIS included new questions that focus on the concepts of democracy and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. In
designing the new test, USCIS received assistance and worked with test development contractors, U.S. history and government
scholars, and English as a Second Language experts. USCIS also sought input from a variety of stakeholders, including
immigrant advocacy groups, citizenship instructors and District Adjudications Officers.
The pilot will allow USCIS to work out any problems and refine the test before it is fully implemented nationwide in the
spring of 2008.
During the trial period, volunteer applicants who choose to take the pilot test can immediately take the current test if they
incorrectly answer a pilot question. To pass, applicants will have to correctly answer six of 10 selected questions. The 10
pilot test sites are: Albany, NY; Boston, MA; Charleston, SC; Denver, CO; El Paso, TX; Kansas City, MO; Miami, FL; San
Antonio, TX; Tucson, AZ; and Yakima, WA.
