第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）
第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 ABCD 中，选出最佳选项，并在
答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
The campaign is over. The celebrations have ended. 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.
Obama’s 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) doesn’t have
to be everybody’s role model anymore.”
Recent polls also suggest that Obama’s 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, it’s still too early to tell whether Obama’s 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 America’s 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.“That’s not
Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,”he told the Los Angeles Times, “It’s
actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.”
In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obama’s 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 couldn’t find role models in their real life
D. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area
47. 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. it’s better for young blacks to find role models in those who are close to
them
48. 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. America’s New Role Model
C. Obama—a Successful Black
D. Choosing a Right Role Model
B
There 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 things
51. 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 mistakes
53. 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 life
C
Bollworms are a traditional threat to cotton crops．Young ones feed on the
boll，the part of the cotton plant that contains the seeds．
A bacterium known as Bt is able to kill bollworms and some other pests．Bt is
short for Bacillus thuringiensis ． It was discovered in the early twentieth
century．Farmers began using Bt as a natural pesticide．
Then，in the 1990s，researchers found a way to grow cotton plants that contain
a Bt gene ． The genetically modified cotton plant produces toxins that kill
bollworms． Farmers around the world are now growing an estimated fourteen
million hectares of Bt cotton．
Cotton bollworms also attack other crops ． But scientists in China recently
reported that Bt cotton may help suppress bollworm in other crops growing
nearby．
The study involved crops grown in six provinces of northern China between
1992 and 2007．The study area contained three million hectares of cotton and
twenty-two million hectares of corn，peanuts，soybeans and vegetables．
The researchers say the study suggested that Bt cotton not only controls
bollworm on the transgenic cotton ， but also may reduce its presence on other
crops．And that reduction，they say，may decrease the need for insecticide sprays
in general．
But the researchers also pointed out concerns．They say bollworms could
develop resistance to the cotton plants designed to resist them．And they noted
that insects called mirids have become “key pests” of cotton in China．They said
this is because of a decrease in pesticide use made possible by Bt cotton．
The researchers say they do not believe that Bt cotton alone can solve all
insect problems．Instead，they say farmers in China should consider it just one part
of pest management systems．
54．What is Bt in this passage?
A．It's a kind of hi-tech invention． B．It's a natural bacterium．
C．It's a kind of pest． D．It's a man-made pesticide．
55．Bt cotton has all the advantages EXCEPT that ________．
A．it resists bollworms
B．it does good to other crops growing around
C．it reduces the use of insecticide
D．it helps to develop new insects
56．The underlined word “ones” in the first paragraph refers to ________．
A．bollworms B．cotton crops C．cotton seeds D．pests
57．From the passage，we can infer ________．
A．farmers around the world are now growing a large area of Bt cotton
B．Chinese scientists found the way to grow Bt cotton
C．bollworms could not exist in Bt cotton any longer
D．researchers are probably now searching for new ways to solve other
cotton problems
D
One 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---it’s 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 to
59. 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 before
60. 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

The torch is 72 centimetres high, weighs 985 grams and is made of alumninium.
The torch is of a curved surface form, with etching and anodizing being used
during its production. A torch can usually keep burning for approximately15
minutes in conditions where the flame is 25 to30 centimetres high in a windless
environment . The torch has been produced to withstand winds of up to 65
centimetres per hour and to stay aright in rain up to 50mm an hour. The flame can
be identified and photographed in sunshine and areas of extreme brightness. The
fuel is propane(丙烷) which is in accordance with environmental guidelines. The

harmony. Its stable burning technique and adaptability to the environment have
reached a new technical level. The torch of the Beijing Olympic Games is
designed, researched and produced in China. BOCOG owns all intellectual

63.
Under the concept of a Green Olympics, environmental protection was a key
element listed in me in the invitation documents to the design companies by
BOCOG. . The fuel of the torch is propane, which is a common fuel which also
comes with a low price. It is composed of carbon and hydrogen. No material,
expect carbon dioxide and water will remain after the burning, eliminating any
risk of pollution.
64
Its stable burning technique and adaptability to the environment have reached a
new technical level. It can stay alight in severe weather conditions such as strong
wind, rain, snow, hail etc. It can also be identified in sunshine and areas of
extreme brightness so as to satisfy the requirements of capturing photographic
images and video footage.
