And the work for US president-elect Barack Obama has begun.The 47-year-old politician rose to the highest post because of his stand against the war in Iraq and his plans to fix a weak economy. But what will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations.Obamas victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school student in Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times.“Kobe( the basketball player) doesnt have to be everybodys role model anymore.”Recent polls also suggest that Obamas victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks and whites“will finally be worked out”. This is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963.However, its still too early to tell whether Obamas presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percent of all prisoners are African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on Americas racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse of the family unit in black communities.It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse（扭转）such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, say that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities.“Thats not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,”he told the Los Angeles Times, “Its actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.”In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obamas rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.46: For years, before Obama was elected president of the US, . A. Kobe was the only role model for all the blacks B. blacks could only find role models on the basketball court C. minorities in America couldnt find role models in their real life D. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area47. According to Bill Bank, . A. Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans B. young blacks should not be so much influenced by Obama C. blacks should find other role models because Obama is far from their reality D. its better for young blacks to find role models in those who are close to them48. What do you think the author is probably going to talk about in the next paragraph? A. In what ways Obama will contribute to racial relations in the US. B. How Obama will influence Americans as a national role model. C. How Obama will contribute to multiculturalism in the US. D. How to choose a role model in his community as a young black.49.What would be the best title for this passage? A. The First African-American President B. Americas New Role Model C. Obamaa Successful Black D. Choosing a Right Role ModelBThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 50. People who are unhappy . A. always consider things differently from others B. usually are affected by the results of certain things C. usually misunderstand what others think or say D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things51. We can conclude from the passage that . A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons A. prevent any communication with them B. show no respect and politeness to them C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes53. In this passage, the writer mainly . A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy people C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness D. tell people how to be happy in lifeCBollworms are a traditional threat to cotton cropsYoung ones feed on the boll，the part of the cotton plant that contains the seedsA bacterium known as Bt is able to kill bollworms and some other pestsBt is short for Bacillus thuringiensisIt was discovered in the early twentieth centuryFarmers began using Bt as a natural pesticideThen，in the 1990s，researchers found a way to grow cotton plants that contain a Bt geneThe genetically modified cotton plant produces toxins that kill bollwormsFarmers around the world are now growing an estimated fourteen million hectares of Bt cottonCotton bollworms also attack other cropsBut scientists in China recently reported that Bt cotton may help suppress bollworm in other crops growing nearbyThe study involved crops grown in six provinces of northern China between 1992 and 2007The study area contained three million hectares of cotton and twenty-two million hectares of corn，peanuts，soybeans and vegetablesThe researchers say the study suggested that Bt cotton not only controls bollworm on the transgenic cotton，but also may reduce its presence on other cropsAnd that reduction，they say，may decrease the need for insecticide sprays in generalBut the researchers also pointed out concernsThey say bollworms could develop resistance to the cotton plants designed to resist themAnd they noted that insects called mirids have become “key pests” of cotton in ChinaThey said this is because of a decrease in pesticide use made possible by Bt cottonThe researchers say they do not believe that Bt cotton alone can solve all insect problemsInstead，they say farmers in China should consider it just one part of pest management systems54What is Bt in this passage?AIts a kind of hi-tech invention BIts a natural bacteriumCIts a kind of pest DIts a man-made pesticide55Bt cotton has all the advantages EXCEPT that _Ait resists bollwormsBit does good to other crops growing aroundCit reduces the use of insecticideDit helps to develop new insects56The underlined word “ones” in the first paragraph refers to _Abollworms Bcotton crops Ccotton seeds Dpests57From the passage，we can infer _Afarmers around the world are now growing a large area of Bt cottonBChinese scientists found the way to grow Bt cottonCbollworms could not exist in Bt cotton any longerDresearchers are probably now searching for new ways to solve other cotton problemsDOne hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon-its already here.While computer offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how far they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.58.According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to . A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes B. obtain more convenient services than other people do C. enjoy great trust from the storekeeper D. cash money where he wished to59. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that . A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cads B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before60. The phrase“ring up sales”most probably means . A. make an order of goods B. record sales on a cash register C. call the sales manager D. keep track of the goods in stock第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A.
