31、o 40are based on the following passage.Throughout 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 a

32、n AfricanAmerican 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 AfricanAmerican woman they so rarely see。Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined。

33、The prevailing theory seems to be that were all hot-tempered single mothers who cant keep a man.

35、eatures on regular African-American women， little is known about who we are， what we think and what we face on a regular basis.

36、y.

42、ing America.C.

43、criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims。 The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in peoples hair. “Youre what you eat and drink， and thats recorded in your hair， said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah. While U。S。 diet is relatively

44、 identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move。Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable， but traces of both elements are also present as heavierisotopes (同位素) 。 The heaviest rain falls

45、 first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah。Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of

46、hair corresponds to about two months。 Cerlings team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional differences。 They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops。They were able to accurately place the hair samples in br

47、oad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems。“Its not good for pinpointing （精确定位）,” Cerling said. “Its good for eliminating many possibilities.”Todd Park， a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great

48、 Salt Lake.The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones， a Tshirt and several strands of hair.When Park heard about the research， he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months。She stayed in the

49、Northwest， although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming。“Its still a substantial area，” Park said. “But it narrows it way down for me.41. What is the scientists new discovery？（B）A。 Ones hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drin

50、k.B。 A persons hair may reveal where they have lived。C。 Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects. D。 The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person. 42.

51、ty development。B。 Food and drink preferences vary with individuals。C. Food and drink leave traces in ones body tissues。 D。 Food and drink are indispensable to ones existence. 43. What is said about the rainfall in Americas West?（B）A. There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah。B. The wate

52、r it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland。C。 Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas. D。 It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward。44. What did Cerlings team produce in their research?（A）A. A map showing the regional differences of tap water。B.
