Every time an election rolls around,people want to know what each candidate’s stance(立場(chǎng))is on the issue that are important to them.In deciding which candidate 1 want to vote for, there are two main issues for me:the economy and education.

These issues are important to me because they affect me the most right now.The economy affects everyone,and education is important because t am about to enter college. When I looked at how each candidate views these issues,one man stood out to me,and that is Demoeratic candidate Barack Obama.

I like a11 of Senator Obama’s ideas for improving the economy.He wants to bring the troops home from Iraq,thereby saving the $12 billion we spend there every month.Anotller point that Obama makes is that the United States’current energy policy is hurting the econmny.He believes thal if new energy bills are passed,it will help tile U.S.  get out of its currenr economic slump,and I agree.With these ideas and strategies,I slrongly believe that Obama can improve the current state of the economy.

Obama also has a plan to improve education.He believes that we need to start educating children at a young age.He also hopes to close the gap of achievement between students,which means improving schools that need help.He wants to pay teachers more and treat them like professionals,but in exchange he calls for higher responsibility.

Obama also has a plan to make college more affordable.He wants public colleges to be free for students who maintain a”B”average during high school.And he plans to give a $4,000 tax credit for college and university students who complete 100 hours of community service each year·I belleve these ideas to improve education are good enough and will help many students.

Therefore,there is no longer any doubt in my mind who will be receiving my vote:Barack Obama.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2010-2011學(xué)年江西上高二中高三第六次月考英語(yǔ)卷 題型:閱讀理解

A new law has recently been announced which forbids people to disturb, annoy, harm, kill or interfere with any bats which choose to live in their houses. Anyone who disturbs a bat on its nest ,or handles one without a license will be fined £1,000.

There are some people who like bats. The late Mrs. Ian Fleming was one. She would crawl for miles to see them in caves or hanging from trees. Similarly, there are many people who do not like bats much but are not particularly troubled by them. The chance of a bat resting in their attics(閣樓) or spare bedroom curtains may seem far away from them. But there are others who do not fall into either of these categories and Mr. Auberon Waugh is one. Underneath his house are eight large cellars(地下室) which for some reason bats have chosen to claim for themselves. He finds it extremely disagreeable to have to fight his way through a colony of them every time he wants a bottle of wine. And as a wine-lover he gets a particular pleasure from the ownership of wine. He has certain bottles in his cellar which he thinks are too good to serve to anyone he knows, but he likes to go down and enjoy looking at them occasionally. The bats entirely destroy this pleasure.

Until the recent law, he could keep the bat problem within manageable proportions by sending his children down on a bat hunt every three months armed with tennis rackets. They usually managed to kill one or two and discouraged the rest from settling. But now, Mr. Waugh fears that the bats will take over the house. To solve the problem he inquired what course of action he could take and was told by Dr Robert Stebbings of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, “I am sure that no one will mind if you pick up a bat and take it outside and hang it on a tree or the outside of the house.” The trouble with this, as Mr. Waugh explains, is that he would be fined a £1,000 if he had not already applied to the Nature Conservancy Council for a license to handle bats. And there is no certainty that he would automatically be granted(agreed to give)one.

1. Mr. Waugh thinks that bats        .

A. should all be destroyed          B. interfere with his wine 

C. should be kept under control     D. prevent him owning wine

2. Because he is a wine-lover, M. Waugh        .

A. stores only good wines           B. keeps certain good wine

C. refuses to drink good wines      D. only wants to own the best wines

3. Success in removing bats from your home depends on        .

A. applying for a license from the Nature Conservancy Council

B. seeking help from the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology

C. taking the course of action recommended by Dr Stebbings

D. the granting of a Nature Conservancy Council license

4.Some people who dislike bats        .

A. think they are unlikely to be bothered by them

B. run the risk of finding them in their attics

C. think it strange they should roost(棲息) in the curtains

D. do not mind them hanging in trees
