    The campaign（竞选）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（少数民族）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 doesn’t have to be everybody’s role model anymore.”
    However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, says 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.
    “When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the president of China, the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Barak Obama,” he told London’s The Times newspaper. “It will be the first time we’ve seen that on our television screens. That will be a huge psychological shift（心理转变）for both the white people and the colored ones in the world. ”
    【小题1】 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
    【小题2】According to Bill Bank, ____________.
    A．it’s better for young blacks to find role models in those who are close to them
    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．Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans
    【小题3】What would be the best title for this passage?
    A．The First African-American PresidentB．America’s New Role Model
    C．Obama-- A Successful Black. D．Choosing a Right Role Model
    【小题4】What will be the huge psychological shift Trevor mentioned at the end of the passage?
    A．The other three leaders all support Obama.
    B．Obama is an African-American president.
    C．None of the four leaders is white.
    D．The other three leaders except Obama are from Asian countries.


    【小题1】D
    【小题2】A
    【小题3】B
    【小题4】C

    For Americans, a mosquito bite is an itchy bother. But for many in Africa, a tiny bite can be deadly. One million people die each year of malaria, a disease spread by infected mosquitoes. Most of these people live in Africa, and are under age 5.

    Malaria can be prevented and treated. However, many African nations don't have the funds to fight it. Nothing but Nets (NBN) hopes to change that. The United Nations Foundation created the campaign in 2006. The aim is to prevent malaria by covering sleeping areas with nets. Hanging bed nets treated with insecticide(杀虫剂) is the simplest way to stop mosquitoes from biting at night. The chemicals last four to five years. For $10, anyone can send a net to Africa and help save a life.

    So far, NBN has raised $19 million and delivered 700,000 nets to seven countries. Families are taught how to use the nets. Kids also get vaccines (疫苗)and vitamins. "Women line up for miles to get the medicine for their kids," says NBN director Elizabeth McKee Gore. "They understand the importance."

    So do kids in this country. "They get so excited thinking of ways to raise money," says NBN spokesperson and basketball star Ruth Riley.

    NBN's biggest fund-raiser is Katherine Commale, 7. She's been spreading the information about bed nets for the past two years. To show how they work, she and her brother made a video. "We teach that bed nets can save lives," she said.

    Katherine has raised $42,000 for NBN. "She just wants those who need a net to have one," says her mom, Lynda. "It's pretty simple to her." To find out how you can help, visit nothingbutnets.net.

    We know from the passage that NBN is in fact _________.

       A. a deadly disease                B. an organization

       C. a piece of equipment            D. a game

    The purpose of the passage is most probably ___________.

       A. to list the sufferings of the African people

       B. to introduce new ways to avoid mosquito bites

       C. to call on people to offer their help to Africans

       D. to tell people how to buy nets in Africa

    By saying “So do kids in this country” in Paragraph 4,the author means that kids in this country also ___________.

       A. know the importance of the bed nets

       B. know how to protect themselves

       C. lack nets to protect themselves

       D. suffer from malaria

    What do we know about Katherine from the passage?

       A. She set up the website nothingbutnets.net.

       B. She is the youngest money-raiser for NBN.

       C. She raised money by making and selling videos.

       D. She started working for NBN at the age of 5.

    The Japanese government has launched(发起)a campaign encouraging people to go to bed and get up extra early in order to reduce household carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放).

     The Morning Challenge campaign，put forward by the Environment Ministry, is based on the idea that swapping late night electricity for an extra hour of morning sunlight could greatly cut the nation’s carbon footprint．

      A typical family can reduce its carbon dioxide footprint by 85 kg a year if everyone goes to bed and gets up one hour earlier，according to the campaign．The amount of carbon dioxide emissions potentially saved from going to bed an hour early was equal to 20 percent of annual emissions from household lights，“Many Japanese people waste electric power at night time，for example by watching TV until very late,”a ministry spokesman told The Daily Telegraph.“But going to bed early and getting up early can avoid wasting electrical power which causes carbon dioxide emissions.” The campaign also proposes that people take advantage of an extra hour of morning sunlight by improving their lifestyles in general by running, doing yoga and eating a nutritious breakfast.

      It is the latest action dealing with climate change by the Japanese environment ministry，which is faced with the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25 percent from 1990 levels within the next decade．

      It was the same government department that launched the Cool Business campaign five years ago, which encouraged workers to wear short—sleeved shirts and offices not to turn air conditioning lower than 28 degrees during the summer.

    1..  Why are Japanese encouraged to go to bed and get up early?

        A. Because it is of great benefit to their health． 

    B. Because Japan is a country without enough electricity.

    C. Because it can give off less carbon dioxide． D. Because it is a good habit．

    2... The underlined word“swapping” means___________.

       A. comparing    B. exchanging    C. turning   D. competing

    3... In general，a Japanese family gives off _________of carbon dioxide every year.

    A. 85 kg    B. 170 kg    C. 425 kg   D. 850 kg

    4..  We can draw a conclusion that_________.

      A. People can save energy and reduce emissions by changing their lifestyle

      B. Japanese often don’t have nutritious breakfast

      C. Japanese prefer to wear short—sleeved shirts in summer

      D. Yoga is very popular with the old Japanese

    5... What is the main idea of the passage?

      A. The Japanese government has launched the Cool Business campaign．

      B. What can we do to cut carbon emissions?

      C. Change your lifestyle and you can become healthy．

      D. Japanese are encouraged to go to bed an hour early to cut carbon emissions．
