10、读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。AThe campaign 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 wh

11、at will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations? Obamas 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

12、Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times, “Kobe doesnt have to be everybodys role model anymore.”Recent polls（民意测验）also suggest that Obamas 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

13、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, its still too early to tell whether Obamas presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.

14、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 Americas racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse(瓦解)of the family unit in black communities.It is unlikely that

15、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. “Thats not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “Its actually

16、 the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.”In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obamas rise will contribute more to multiculturalism(多民族主义) than to race relations in the US. “When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the preside

17、nt of China, the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Barak Obama,” he told Londons The Times newspaper. “It will be the first time weve 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

18、.”21. For years, before Obama was elected president of the US, _.A. Kobe was the only role model for all the blacksB. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political areaC. minorities in America couldnt find role models in their real lifeD. blacks could only find role models on the

Li is

23、ranked fifth.In an interview Li said she was proud of her effort. “I think I play great tennis,” she said. “ I mean, she plays better than me. After the match, I make a joke: tennis should only play one set.”Bai Yan, a member of Chinas mens national team member and Li Nas friend, said the loss was d

24、isappointing, but still a bright starting point. “To tell you the truth I feel a little bit down, all of us. But you know she is still the best, and shes still our hero in everybodys eyes,” said Bai. “This is just the start.”.Win or lose, Lis appearance in the Australian Open finals was seen as a ma
