P2

1. B. 从文中第一段第一句 “Li Ting, a 26-year-old girl from China, has lived in the United States since she was 7 years old.”可以得知李婷今年26岁，而她7岁就来了美国，因此她在美国居住了19年。故答案选 B。 

2. C. 由文章第二段 “It all started from a decision US President Donald Trump made on Sept 5: ending a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (童年抵美者暂缓遣返计划, DACA).”可以看出美国总统特朗普决定结束DACA计划，导致李婷有可能被遣返回国，造成李婷担忧。故答案为 C。 

3. C. 从文章第三段 “DACA allows immigrants who were brought to the US illegally  as children to stay in the country” 和第四段第一句“these immigrants, called ”dreamers,“  可以得知DACA这个项目允许非法移民者，也就是那些“追梦人”，留在美国学习工作。故答案为 C。  

4. A. 从文章的第五段 “But now, the dreamers only have about six to 24 months before they become illegal and are deported (驱逐). This has caused a great stir (轩然大波). 

.” 可以得知像李婷这样的移民者因为DACA项目的终止，有可能在6到24个月之后被驱逐出美国。故答案为 A。
