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 doesn t have to be everybody s role model anymore Recent polls 民意测验 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 瓦解 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 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 8 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 47 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 48 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 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 50 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 参考答案 D DABC 结束 9 1 The Plot Against America is a novel by Philip Roth published in 2004 Instead of reconstructing real historical events Philip Roth offers something bolder a reconstruction of imagined events a what if that reads like a what really happened Just suppose that the air hero Charles Lindbergh the man who made the first solo transatlantic flight in 1927 who earned huge sympathy when his baby son was kidnapped and murdered five years later who called Hitler a great man just suppose that he d run for president in November 1940 and took advantage of the feelings that undoubtedly existed then No more war Never again will young Americans die on foreign soil and that instead of Roosevelt being elected for a third term and taking America into Europe to fight the Nazis Lindbergh won a landslide victory And then he signed non aggression treaties with Germany and Japan and introduced a set of anti semitic 反犹太人的 measures which were a betrayal of the rights and liberties in the constitution 宪法 and yet they were accepted by the mass of ordinary citizens and even by some Jews The narrator is Philip Roth aged seven and the family at the book s centre are his family father Herman mother Bess and brother Sandy The Roths understand the threat posed by Lindbergh but each member of the family responds differently Early on there s a trip to see the sights of Washington where the Roths find their pre booked hotel room has become mysteriously unavailable An obvious case of anti semitism Herman shouts and a violation of the principle that All men are created equal But his loudmouth protests embarrass Bess Already
