二、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）

A

Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, I’m 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 world’s 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 we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t 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 won’t 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 House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an 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 that’s been around for far too long.

21.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.

22.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.

23.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.

24.What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?

A. However many fans she has, she should remain modest.

B. She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community.

C. However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody.

D. She will give priority to African-American women’s concerns.

25.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.

B

"Itis a dreadful thing to be poor a fortnight before Christmas," said Clorinda, with the mournful sigh of seventeen years.

AuntEmmy smiled. Aunt Emmy was sixty, and spent the hours she didn't spend in a bed, on a sofa or in a wheel chair; but Aunt Emmy was never heard to sigh.

"Thegifts which money can purchase are not the only ones we can give," said Aunt Emmy gently, "nor the best, either."

"Oh,I know it's nicer to give something of your own work," agreed Clorinda, "but materials for fancy work cost too. That kind of gift is just as much out of the question for me as any other." "Thatwas not what I meant," said Aunt Emmy.

"Whatdid you mean, then?" asked Clorinda, looking puzzled.

AuntEmmy smiled.

"Supposeyou think out my meaning for yourself," she said. "That would be better than if I explained it. Besides, I don't think I could explain it. Take the beautiful line of a beautiful poem to help you in your thinking out: " The gift without the giver is bare."

"I'dput it the other way and say, "The giver without the gift is bare,'" said Clorinda, with a grimace（鬼脸）. "That is my predicament（困境）exactly. Well, I hope by next Christmas I'll not be quite bankrupt. I'm going into Mr. Callender's store down at Murraybridge in February. He has offered me the place, you know."

"Won'tyour aunt miss you terribly?" said Aunt Emmy gravely.

Clorindaflushed. There was a note in Aunt Emmy's voice that disturbed her.

"Ithink she would rather have your companionship than a part of your salary, Clorinda," said Aunt Emmy. "But of course you must decide for yourself, dear. "

"Well,I must say bye-bye and run home. " Clorindalived just across the road from Aunt Emmy in a tiny white house behind some huge willows. But Aunt Mary lived there too--the only relative Clorinda had, for Aunt Emmy wasn't really her aunt at all. Clorinda had always lived with Aunt Mary ever since she could remember.

Clorindapuzzled over Aunt Emmy's meaning for four days and part of three nights. Then all at once it came to her. Or if it wasn't Aunt Emmy's meaning it was a very good meaning in itself, and it grew clearer and expanded in meaning during the days that followed, although at first Clorinda shrank a little from some of the conclusions to which it led her.

OnChristmas Day, Clorinda went over to Aunt Emmy's. It was a faded brown Christmas after all, for the snow had not come. But Clorinda did not mind; there was such joy in her heart that she thought it the most delightful Christmas Day that ever dawned.

Sheput the queer cornery armful she carried down on the kitchen floor before she went into the sitting room. Aunt Emmy was lying on the sofa before the fire, and Clorinda sat down beside her.

"I'vecome to tell you all about it," she said.

AuntEmmy patted the hand that was in her own.

"Fromyour face, dear girl, it will be pleasant hearing and telling," she said. Clorindanodded.

"AuntEmmy, I thought for days over your meaning ... thought until I was dizzy. And then one evening it just came to me, without any thinking at all, and I knew that I could give some gifts after all. I thought of something new every day for a week. At first I didn't think I couldgive some of them, and then I thought how selfish I was. I would have been willing to pay any amount of money for gifts if I had had it, but I wasn't willing to pay what I had. I got over that, though, Aunt Emmy. Now I'm going to tell you what I did give. "

"First,there was old Aunt Kitty. You know she was my nurse when I was a baby, and she's very fond of me. But, well, you know, Aunt Emmy, I'm ashamed to confess(承认，忏悔) it, but really I've never found Aunt Kitty very entertaining, to put it mildly. She is always glad when I go to see her, but I've never gone except when I couldn't help it. She is very deaf, and rather dull and stupid, you know. Well, I gave her a whole day. I took my knitting yesterday, and sat with her the whole time and just talked and talked. I told her all the Greenvale news and gossip and everything else I thought she'd like to hear. She was so pleased and proud; she told me when I came away that she hadn't had such a nice time for years. "

Thenthere was ... Florence. You know, Aunt Emmy, we were always intimate(亲密的) friends until last year. Then Florence once told Rose Watson something I had told her in confidence. I found it out and I was so hurt. I couldn't forgive Florence, and I told her plainly I could never be a real friend to her again. Florence felt badly, because she really did love me, and she asked me to forgive her, but it seemed as if I couldn't. Well, Aunt Emmy, that was my Christmas gift to her ... my forgiveness. I went down last night and just put my arms around her and told her that I loved her as much as ever and wanted to be real close friends again. "

"Igave Aunt Mary her gift this morning. I told her I wasn't going to Murraybridge, that I just meant to stay home with her. She was so glad--and I'm glad, too, now that I've decided so." "Yourgifts have been real gifts, Clorinda," said Aunt Emmy. "Something of you--the best of you--went into each of them."

Clorindawent out and brought her cornery armful in.

"Ididn't forget you, Aunt Emmy," she said, as she unpinned the paper.

Therewas a rosebush--Clorinda's own pet rosebush--all snowed over with fragrant blossoms.

AuntEmmy loved flowers. She put her finger under one of the roses and kissed it.

"It'sas sweet as yourself, dear child," she said tenderly. "And it will be a joy to me all through the lonely winter days. You've found out the best meaning of Christmas giving, haven't you, dear?"

"Yes,thanks to you, Aunt Emmy," said Clorinda softly.

The Simpsons____________

University of Pennsylvania Linguistics professor Mark Liberman wrote in 2005, "The Simpons has apparently taken over from Shakespeare and the Bible as our culture's greatest source of idioms and catchphrases ."Liberman's comment sounds crazy-at least until you remember there's a Millhouse quote for every occasion. Even the gatekeeper of language, the Oxford English Dictionary has found a spot for Homer Simperson's trademark "D'oh!"

America's Most Wanted ____________.

The show has helped arrest over I,100 fugitives(逃犯)since its debut in 1988.Many people thought highly of the series as they could enjoy a safer community.

Glee________________

Fox scored a sleeper hit with the musical series in 2009.But the show's real impact came between airings. As most of the record industry failed .the Glee recordings found staggering success on iTunes .By the end of 2011,the cast had sold more 11 million albums and another 36 million single tracks. Meanwhile, the 2011 concert tour grossed more than $40 million.

Sex and the City__________

四、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）

Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you’ve both had a lot of these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you have. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom, and that even though you both are excited about that new puppy, it doesn’t for all the time we’ve been apart. I know I’ve missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I’d my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into

my with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never to fill my heart and light up my day.

I want all our children to go to schools of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill (灌输) in them a sense of about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college their parents aren’t rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own and retire with dignity.

I want us to the boundaries of discovery so that you’ll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach the divides of race and region, gender and religion that us from seeing the best in each other.

That was the your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean .

She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better and that the work of perfecting our union falls to each of us.It’s a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to we know America should be.

These are the things I want for you, to in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That’s why I’ve taken our family on this great adventure.

I am so proud of both of you. I love you you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, self-confidence, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.
