问题     For centuries, immigrants have come to America seeking the
promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Some came
fleeting religious persecution. Others came for the possibility of a【M1】______
better life. But all were inspired by the freedoms that exist in the
United States because of the rule of law.
    Throughout our history, immigrants have contributed to
American society and help build the American dream. But today【M2】______
we face with an immigration crisis. Lax enforcement of our【M3】______
immigration laws threatens the promise of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness that has made America that it is today. In【M4】______
order to protect the American dream, we must enforce our
immigration laws.
    According to a report by the Government Accountability
Office, only 44 percent of the U.S.-Mexico border is under the
"operational control" of the U.S. Border Patrol. Forty-four percent
is a failure grade. Holes in the security of our borders threaten【M5】______
American lives. The first promise of the American dream is "life."
In order to protect that promise, we must secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
    We must also do more to prohibit Americans from criminal【M6】______
illegal immigrants. Despite the Obama administration has【M7】______
increased the deportation of criminal immigrants, two Supreme
Court rulings created a safe haven for dangerous criminal
immigrants who can be removed. Because these rulings prohibit【M8】______
criminal immigrants from detained longer than six months【M9】______
when they cannot be deported, federal officials have been forced to【M10】______
release thousands of criminal immigrants into our communities.
Tragically, many have gone on to commit more crimes, including
murder.
【M1】
选项
答案fleeting—fleeing
解析 词汇错误。此处考查形近词的用法，fleeting为形容词，表示“短暂的，飞逝的”，若为动词fleet的现在分词形式，则意为“疾飞、掠过”，放在此处不符合语意。fleeing为现在分词形式．表示“逃离”，在句中作状语，整句意为“一些人为了逃避宗教迫害来到美国”。
