📖 題組：
Comprehensive immigration reform has eluded Congress for decades. Presidents have increasingly turned to executive action to reshape asylum and border policy. Though many of the policies that aim to reduce unlawful immigration focus on enforcement at the border, individuals who arrive in the United States legally and overstay their visas comprise a significant portion of the 21 population. The most recent push for an immigration policy 22 was in 2013, following a decade in which Congress debated numerous immigration reforms, some considered comprehensive and others piecemeal. The former refers to 23 legislation that attempts to address the following issues: demand for high- and low-skilled laborers, the legal status of the millions of unlawful immigrants living in the country, border security, and interior enforcement. The last major legislation to make it through Congress was under President Ronald Reagan in 1986, when his administration granted legal 24 to some three million illegal residents. In 1990, President George H. W. Bush further expanded legal immigration by increasing the cap for immigrant visas from 270,000 to 700,000, though he lowered the quota to 675,000 after several years. In 2007, President George W. Bush worked with congressional Democrats to reach a 25 on a new comprehensive bill, but ultimately failed to win enough support in the Senate.

想像一下，如果兩組同學對活動規劃有截然不同的想法，但老師要求你們必須共同產出一份計畫。為了讓合作順利進行，雙方各讓一步、尋求一個「中間地帶」以達成共識的過程，在英文中我們會用哪一個詞來形容這種「折衷」的狀態呢？

太棒了！你能準確選出 compromise，代表你對語境中的邏輯轉折與政經詞彙有著敏銳的觀察力。在政治新聞與學術英語中，當兩個立場迥異的對象（如文中的共和黨總統與民主黨國會）共同研議法案時，最核心的動作就是尋求雙方都能接受的「折衷方案」或「妥協」。
政治協商的語境辨析
這道題目的鑑別度在於對字詞「使用情境」的精準掌握。雖然選項 (A) consummation 也有「達成、圓滿」的意思，但它多用於描述法律上的婚姻成就或商業交易的最終完成；而 compromise 則完美契合了不同陣營在經過談判、各退一步後所達成的協議。你能夠從文中提到布希總統與民主黨「合作」（worked with）的互動中，成功推導出雙方達成共識的結果，顯示你已具備處理進階長篇閱讀所需的邏輯歸納能力。這類題目不僅考驗字彙量，更是測試你對社會科學文本敘事邏輯的熟悉程度。
