问题     Just as the top EU official for migration was urging the White House to be "more generous" in accepting Syrian refugees, Paris was struck by a series of attacks that immediately boosted political opposition to his pitch. As in some other countries, the massacres have been co-opted by critics of refugee policy. The US in September agreed to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year, up from 1,500, under pressure from Europe. The fear that terrorists could enter the US masked as refugees was exacerbated after a Syrian passport was found near the body of one of the attackers. Many of the Republican presidential contenders and other party members now want the White House to scrap or defer the Syrian refugee programme.
选项
答案 就在欧盟负责移民事务的高级官员敦促美国政府“更大方地”接收叙利亚难民之际，他的这一论调因巴黎遭受的一系列恐怖袭击而在顷刻之间面临更强烈的政治反对。像其他一些国家一样，这一系列大屠杀在美国也成为难民政策批评者炒作的题材。09月份，在欧洲的施压下，美国答应在接下来的一年里将接收叙利亚难民的数量从原先的l500名增加到1万名。在巴黎警方发现一名袭击者的尸体旁有一本叙利亚护照后，人们更加担心恐怖分子可能佯装成难民进入美国。目前，很多共和党总统参选人和其他党员都希望白宫取消或推迟收容 叙利亚难民的计划。
解析     本文选自时事评论作家Demetri Sevastopulo与Barney Jopson于2015年11月在《金融时报》上发表的一篇名为Obama Criticizes Republicans’Anti-migrants Stance的时文。2015年11月13日，巴黎巴塔克兰剧院遭受恐怖袭击，事件造成至少1 18人死亡，一名歹徒的尸体旁出现一本叙利亚护照，继而影响了国际社会对叙利亚难民收容项目的态度。选段部分针对该事件阐述了美国的难民收容项目因这一系列事件而遭受的影响。在备考中考生要时刻关注国内外重大新闻事件，多参阅《纽约时报》《金融时报》等外文网站的相关社评，以这些材料为基础进行翻译练习。
