Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.
　　Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.
　　These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.
　　It won’t be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.
　　Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉著), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long.
小題1:Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?
A．She serves as a role model for African women.
B．She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.
C．She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.
D．She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women.
小題2:What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?
A．They are victims of violence.
B．They are of an inferior violence.
C．They use quite a lot of body language.
D．They live on charity and social welfare.
小題3:What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?
A．Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans.
B．How Michelle should behave as a public figure.
C．How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.
D．What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House.
小題4:What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?
A．However many fans she has, she should remain modest,
B．She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community.
C．However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody.
D．She will give priority to African-American women’s concerns.
小題5:What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do?
A．Help change the prevailing view about black women.
B．Help her husband in the task of changing America.
C．Outshine previous First Lady.
D．Fully display her fine qualities.

試題分析：這是《新聞周刊》2008 年 11 月刊的一篇文章，題目為 MICHELLE OBAMA IS A BLACK SKINNEDBEAUTY。全文共五段。第一段作者介紹作為黑人女性，她更關(guān)注米歇爾奧巴馬，因?yàn)樽鳛闇?zhǔn)第一夫人，米歇爾代表的正是人們平時(shí)極少接觸的非洲裔女性美國(guó)公民。第二至四段介紹過(guò)去人們對(duì)黑人女性帶有成見(jiàn)的看法，因此米歇爾將代表所有黑人女性來(lái)改變世人對(duì)她們的看法。最后一段介紹米歇爾作為第一夫人，美國(guó)黑人對(duì)她的期望，以及她身上所具有的、黑人女性應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)的品質(zhì)。
小題1:事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中關(guān)鍵詞 Michelle Obama 和 fascination for the author，答案可定位在第一段第二句和末句。根據(jù)第一段第二句...what she might be able to do not just for this countrybut for me as an African-American woman 和本段末句中...people will have a chance to get upclose and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see，即她（米歇爾）會(huì)代表美國(guó)的黑人女性，并且人們通過(guò)與她的密切接觸來(lái)了解美國(guó)黑人女性的形象。C 的意思與之相符，故選C
小題2:事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞 stereotype of African-American women，答案可定位在第二段第二、三句。這前兩句告訴讀者人們普遍認(rèn)為大多數(shù)黑人女性都是暴躁脾氣的單身媽媽，吸引不住男人。在人們的想象中，黑人女性給人留下的刻板印象往往是：受人歧視，性交過(guò)度，通常被未婚的酒鬼老媽養(yǎng)大。選項(xiàng) B 的意思與之接近，故選B
小題3:語(yǔ)義理解題。根據(jù)題干中 African-Americans write about in their blogs，答案可定位在末段第二句。根據(jù)此句 Many African-American blogs have written about what theyd liketo see Michelle bring to the White House----mainly showing the world that a black woman cansupport her man and raise a strong black family，意為quot許多非洲裔美國(guó)人的博客里都曾寫到對(duì)米歇爾的期待，寫到她帶進(jìn)白宮的將是對(duì)整個(gè)世界的宣言，宣告黑人女性同樣可以支持老公，同樣可以肩負(fù)一個(gè)黑人.選 D
小題4:語(yǔ)義理解題。根據(jù)題目，答案可定位在末段末句。根據(jù)此句But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise(沉著)，confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long，即但對(duì)于像我一樣的非洲裔美國(guó)人，即便能夠?qū)W到她的一絲沉著，一絲自信和一絲聰慧，那都將會(huì)很大程度上改變長(zhǎng)久以來(lái)黑人女性給人的印象，由此可知米歇爾是不會(huì)令美國(guó)黑人失望的。故選擇B
小題5:語(yǔ)義理解題。根據(jù)題目African-American women hope答案定位在末段末句。短文第四段末句For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all，即米歇爾代表著美國(guó)黑人女性的形象。末段末句提到“對(duì)于像我一樣的非洲裔美國(guó)人，即便能夠?qū)W到她的一絲沉著，一絲自信和一絲聰慧，那都將會(huì)很大程度上改變長(zhǎng)久以來(lái)黑人女性給人的印象�！庇纱丝芍仔獱柺敲绹�(guó)黑人婦女學(xué)習(xí)的榜樣，廣大美國(guó)黑人女性如果都能向她學(xué)習(xí)，就一定會(huì)改變公眾心中的形象。故選A

LONDON---A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake（假冒的）bomb detectors（探測(cè)器）to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $ 77.8 million from the sales of his detectors---which were based on a kind of golf ball finder---to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57, was convicted（判罪）of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors, sold for up to $ 42, 000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “l(fā)acked any grounding in science” and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.
小題1:Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A．He sold bombs. B．He caused death of people.
C．He made detectors.D．He cheated in business.
小題2:According to the judge, what McCormick had done         .
A．increased the cost of safeguarding
B．lowered people’s guard against danger
C．changed people’s idea of social security
D．caused innocent people to commit crimes
小題3:Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A．They have not been sold to Africa
B．They have caused many serious problems.
C．They can find dangerous objects in water.
D．They don’t function on the basis of science.
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick         .
A．solo the equipment at a low price
B．was well-known in most countries
C．did not think he had committed the crime
D．had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text

I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once   36  and did not know the   37  very well. I was on the   38  after I had made some enquiries.
At Ashvelle, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut(小道，近路). The short cut was to   39  several hills and was dangerous, I hesitated (猶豫)for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be   40 .

The short cut, to my surprise, was not that   48 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road,   49  up and down two low   50  .There was   51  traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and   52  with cows and horses. My fear was   53  with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立體聲), I drove on and   54  the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me   55 . It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.

An old man lived with his family. The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon, dropping to the floor. When he grasped his glass of milk, it often spilled clumsily(笨拙地) at the tablecloth.
With this happening almost every night, the son and daughter-in-law became annoyed with the mess.
“We must do something about grandfather,” said the son.
“I’ve had enough of his milk spilling, noisy eating and food on the floor,” the daughter-in-law agreed.
So the couple set a small table at the corner.
There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in wooden bowls. Sometimes when the family looked in grandfather’s direction, he had tears in his eyes as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp warnings when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening, before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood pieces on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy replied, “Oh, I’m making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
These words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears streamed down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both knew what must be done.
小題1:Eating was difficult for the grandfather because ________.
A．his son and daughter-in-law didn’t like him
B．there wasn’t enough food for him
C．life was hard for the poor family
D．he was old and weak
小題2:The couple served the old man’s food in wooden bowls to ________.
A．show how sick they felt of the old man
B．make the old man’s food more enjoyable
C．prevent the old man from breaking more dishes
D．encourage their son to make more wooden bowls
小題3:What would the end of the story be like?
A．The couple gave their son a good beating.
B．No more milk was spilled by the old man.
C．The old man had every meal with the family.
D．The whole family started to use wooden bowls.

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test was the final for the class. It was a rather   36   test. I didn’t know how   37  I had done but I knew there were things on   38   that I didn’t know.
I remember   39  waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales   40  my paper on my desk, I was    41   . There in big   42   numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I   43   my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not   44    that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and   45  the class. “The grades were not very good;    46  of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.”
A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal (陰沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot   47  . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s   48   changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t    49   what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother    50   answered.
For years, I thought that was a harsh (嚴(yán)厲的) judgment. My mother was always that   51   . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and    52     I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand   53   the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy（人生態(tài)度）has    54   me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is   55   and there are very few people on it.

As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.
I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew （工作人員）. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (萊茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I had a sombre feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me abroad, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general，for me，has always been a terrible and painful experience．Flying on Lufthansa，however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.
