Reading Comprehension (本题共10小题，共20分，每小题2分)Passage AThroughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how theyll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, Im 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 worlds 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 were all hot-tempered single mothers who cant keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still cant 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 wont 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 Housemainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyonean impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image thats been around for far too long.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.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.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.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 shouldnt disappoint the African-American community.C. However hard she tries, she cant expect to please everybody.D. She will give priority to African-American womens concerns.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.Passage BBritain is not just one country and one people, even if some of its inhabitants think so. Britain is, in fact, a nation which can be divided into several separate parts, each part being an individual country with its own language, character and cultural traditions. Thus Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales (and even Cornwall perhaps) do not claim to belong to “England” because their inhabitants are not strictly “English”. They are Scottish, Irish, Welsh (or Cornish) and many of them prefer to speak their own native tongue which in turn is incomprehensible to the others.These cultural minorities have been Britains original inhabitants. In varying degrees they have managed to preserve their national identity, their particular customs and way of life. This is probably even more true of the remoter areas where traditional life has not been so affected by the growth of industrialism as the border areas have been. The Celtics races are said to be more emotional by nature than the English. An Irish temper is legendary！The Scots prefer to be remembered for their ballads and dances, while the Welsh are famous for their singing. The Celtic temperament as a whole produces large numbers of writers and artists, such as the Irish Bernard Shaw, the Scottish Robert Burns, and the Welsh Dylan Thomas, to mention but a few.6. Some British people regard Britain as _.A. a single, unified country.B. a country of foreign cultures.C. a wholly Celtic country.D. an individualistic unit.7.“their own native tongue” means_.A. the language of a forei
