請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題 The United States has more immigrants than any other country in the world. Today, more than 40 million people living in the US were born in another country, accounting for about one-fifth of the world’s migrants. Also, the population of immigrants is very diverse, with just about every country in the world represented among US immigrants. Pew Research Center regularly publishes statistical portraits of the nation’s foreign-born population, which include historical trends since 1960. These portraits provide more details on the US immigrant population. The US foreign-born population reached a record 44.8 million in 2018. Since 1965, when US immigration laws replaced a national quota system, the number of immigrants living in the US has more than quadrupled. Immigrants today account for 13.7% of the US population, nearly triple the share (4.8%) in 1970. However, today’s immigrant share remains below the record 14.8% share in 1890 when 9.2 million immigrants lived in the US. Most immigrants (77%) are in the country legally, while almost a quarter are unauthorized, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on census data adjusted for undercount. In 2017, 45% were naturalized US citizens, 27% of immigrants were permanent residents, and 5% were temporary residents in 2017. Another 23% of all immigrants were unauthorized immigrants. From 1990 to 2007, the unauthorized immigrant population was more than tripled in size – from 3.5 million to a record high of 12.2 million in 2007. By 2017, that number had declined by 1.7 million, or 14%. There were 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants in the US in 2017, accounting for 3.2% of the nation’s population. The decline in the unauthorized immigrant population is due largely to a fall in the number from Mexico – the single largest group of unauthorized immigrants in the US.

當題目要求我們找出「不正確」的統計數字時，如果選項中提到了關於「增長倍數」的描述，你會優先在文章的哪一個段落尋找對應的動詞（例如代表翻倍或四倍的詞彙），來核對它的精確性呢？

太棒了！你能精確鎖定文章中的數據細節，並成功揪出選項中的錯誤，這顯示出你具備極佳的閱讀耐心與資訊查核（fact-checking）能力。本題的關鍵在於文章第二段明確提到：自 1965 年移民法改革以來，美國移民人數增加了「四倍以上（quadrupled）」，而選項 (A) 卻將其誇大為「六倍以上（more than six times）」。這種微小數字的替換，正是閱讀測驗中最需留心的陷阱。
數據檢索與資訊比對
這類題型的鑑別度在於考察學生在長篇資訊中定位關鍵數據的速度。至於其他選項，我們都能在文中找到直接證據：選項 (B) 的 4.8% 出現於第二段末；(C) 與 (D) 關於 2017 年非法移民（unauthorized immigrants）的比例與占總人口的百分比，則完整呈現在第三段。你能夠不被大量的年份與百分比干擾，準確識破倍數描述的矛盾，表現得非常專業且細心！
