| History has arrived Nine-year-old Barack Obama was looking through magazine. But the African-America boy was shocked by a series of photos. The pictures were of a black man who destroyed his skin with chemicals that promised to make him white. For the first time, the boy began to doubt who he was. "I stood in front of the mirror and wondered if something was wrong with me," Obama said. However, now the boy who used to struggle with his identity doesn't see it as a problem any more, but an advantage for his career. Last week, Obama made history by being elected as the first black president of the US. He defeated John MaCain in a landslide (压倒性的) victory. Obama's story starts in opposite corners of the world. His white mother was born in the heartland of the US. His black father grew up in a tiny village in Kenya. They met during in Hawaii, but his father left the family when Obama was just two years old and his mother moved to Indonesia. At 10, Obama moved back to live with his white grandparents in Hawaii where his sense that he didn't belong grew. At his class a white boy asked Obama if his father ate people. Out of embarrassment, Obama lied to his classmates that his father was prince, "I kept asking who I am and I ended up trying drugs and drinking," Obama recalled. Things came to change after the young man made friends with those with a similar background at college. Their experiences back in Africa helped Obama to finally face up to his African origin. He worked hard to become a star at Harvard Law School and the third black senator (参议院) in US history. At the beginning of his campaign for the White House, few people viewed Obama favorably (赞同地). Many doubted his unusual background, which left him neither "black" enough nor white enough. But Obama turned his pain of growing up into a tool to make Americans believe: "There is not a black America, an Asian America. There's the United States of America." Barack Obama's victory is "a historic victory that promised change and overcame centuries of prejudice (偏见). His success fulfilled Martin Luther King's dream that a man he judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character," wrote ABC news. |

| Each year, an area the size of Beijing plus Shanghai disappears from the Amazon rainforest. On September 30, 2008, Brazil announced that the rate of deforestation increased more than three times in the past year. The Amazon rainforest covers around 4.1 million square kilometers of Brazil, nearly 60 percent of the country. The rainforest supports at least 10 percent of the world's known species. The 17 million people who live in the Brazilian Amazon depend on the land for their homes and livelihoods. Brazil is the world's biggest beef and soy exporter. Farmers need land for crops and to feed their cattle. Some burn patches of forest to clear the land. Others cut down trees for wood. They build roads to transport the wood. Brazil's economy is growing, but that growth comes at a price. In May, Brazil's environment minister, Marina Silva, quit her job. For six years, she tried to protect the forest. But she felt she was losing the battle against those who are eager to make money in the Amazon. The Amazon is the planet's largest absorber of carbon dioxide, a gas that can trap heat in the atmosphere. A world Wildlife Found study shows that 55 percent of the Amazon could be gone by 2030. Without those trees, billions of tons of carbon dioxide would stay in the atmosphere. They would speed up global warming. Brazilian researchers say that temperatures in the Amazon region will rise by two to three degrees by 2050. That, and the resulting lower rainfall, could turn 30-60 percent of the forest into grassland with only scattered trees. |
| 1. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means _______. |
| A. a certain forest station B. the loss of the trees C. the slow growth of trees D. an increase in trees |
| 2. In the opinion of the writer, the economic growth of Brazil is based on _______. |
| A. the development of modern science and technology B. the world's biggest beef and soy export C. the gradual destruction of the Amazon rainforest D. the environmental protection of the Brazilians |
| 3. It can be inferred from the passage that _______. |
| A. Marina Silva had devoted herself to protecting the rainforest before she quit her job B. Marina Silva is determined to fight for the conservation of the rainforest in any case C. Marina Silva began to hold the post of Brazil's environment minister in 2005 D. The majority of Brazilians have joined Marina Silva in protecting the rainforest |
| 4. What the writer really wants to tell us is that _______. |
| A.55 percent of the people in the Brazil Amazon will have to leave their homes by 2030. B. The living standard of the Brazilians has been greatly raised in the past few years. C. The Amazon rainforest is the planet's largest absorber of carbon dioxide. D. The Amazon rainforest is in urgent need of the protection, or global warming will speed up. |

| Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism (批评). Their critics (批评家) seem to hate them because they think this entirely unproductive industry should absorb millions of pounds each year. Why don't they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? The poor consumer (消费者)! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods comes largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim (说法) may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway bylaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not exist without this source of revenue (税收). The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! |
| 1. What is the main idea of this passage? |
| A. The Advertising industry is an entirely unproductive industry. B. Advertisements keep the consumers fully informed of the goods. C. Advertisers perform a useful service to the public. D. Advertisements make the goods more expensive. |
| 2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers is ______. |
| A. appreciative. B. optimistic. C. negative. D. dissatisfactory |
| 3. Why do the critics criticize (批评) advertisers? |
| A. Because critics think advertisers make a lot of profit. B. Because advertisement is a"waste of money". C. Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary. D. Because advertisements often misunderstand consumers. |
| 4. Which of the following is Not True? |
| A. Advertisements can beautify the surroundings. B. We can buy what we want thanks to advertisements. C. Good quality products don't need to be advertised. D. In terms of money, we benefit a lot from the advertisements. |

| When a crisis (危机) develops in the world, Doctors Without Borders is usually there to help. This organization provides emergency care to victims of armed conflict, natural and manmade disasters, and fast-spreading diseases. The group also assists people who have no other way to receive health care. It trains local health workers, provides mental health care, and organizes nutrition and other programs. Doctors Without Borders is also known by its French name, Medecins Sans Frontieres. A group of doctors from France started the organization in 1971. They said they felt strongly that race, religion and political beliefs should not prevent someone from receiving health care. They also said the medical needs of individuals were more important than national borders. Doctors Without Borders is also working to get medicines to poor people. It is involved in a new drug research organization in Geneva. The effort is called the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative. Research centers in Brazil, France, India, Kenya and Malaysia are also involved. The organizers say drug companies have forgotten about the diseases that affect millions of people in developing countries. Scientists will seek new drugs to treat diseases like sleeping sickness and leishmaniasis [(医)利什曼病(尤指黑热病)]. Both are spread by insects. What should be done is to spend about two-hundred-fifty-million dollars over the next ten years to develop new treatments for these and other diseases. In 1999, Doctors Without Borders won the Nobel Peace Prize. The group was recognized for its work in the conflicts in Kosovo and East Timor. |
