奥朗德

President Normal

(2012年洛阳二模)BEFORE Nicolas Sarkozy became French president，he was asked if he thought about presidency when he looked in the mirror while shaving(刮胡子)．“Not just when I'm shaving，”he answered.

When Francois Hollande，now presidentelect(总统当选人)of France，was asked the same question，he replied：“Do I see myself as president？No，I am a presidential candidate.A candidate must not think himself president；he must give hope that he becomes president.”

Hollande has promised to be a“normal(普通的) president”－something Sarkozy certainly was not.Sarkozy celebrated his election in 2007 at a worldclass Parisian restaurant.He took holidays on the yachts(游艇)of wealthy businesspeople.Hollande，by contrast，was still going around Paris on his threewheeled motorbike at the start of this year.One member of his party said he looked“more like a pizza delivery man”than the next president.

“That is the key to Hollande's success because the election is turning into a sort of referendum(公民投票)for or against Nicolas Sarkozy，”Eric Dupin，a journalist and political observer(观察员)told Global Post.“Francois Hollande is the one who appears not only as his main opponent(对手)politically，but also as his complete opposite psychologically(心理上)．”

When he was the Socialist party leader，Hollande was nicknamed“the marshmallow(软糖)”because he hated fights.Sarkozy，by contrast，is known to be loud and aggressive(好斗的)．

When faced with Sarkozy's verbal attacks during the election，Hollande stayed calm.This sometimes annoyed even his own supporters.“I wish he would just let go and savage(用暴力对付)Sarko，”one Hollande voter said to the Guardian.

But Hollande still knows how to fight.Stéphane Le Foll，a Sicialist MEP who has been one of Hollande's closest advisors for 17 years and is codirecting his campaign，said Hollande had quietly planned his presidential bid(投标) for 10 years.“I think we all underestimated(低估)this guy，”Alain Minc，one of Sarkozy's closest friends and advisers，told Reuters.

Hollande was born in 1954 into a middleclass family.He lived through the 1968 protests(抗议)that nearly overthrew(推翻)the French government.“They shocked him，but also politicized him，he said in a recent interview，making him understand that change was possible，”reported the New York Times.When Hollande was 15，he told friends he expected to become president.

“I didn't come to the first rank either by chance or by obsession(执迷)，”Hollande said in an interview with Reuters.“I got there because I put myself in this situation，and because I deserved (值得的；应受的)it.”

【1】By citing Hollande and Sarkozy's replies to the same question，the author intends to show ________.

A．Sarkozy is more confident than Hollande

B．Hollande is more modest than Sarkozy

C．Hollande is less ambitious than Sarkozy

D．Sarkozy is more humorous than Hollande

【2】What is the key to Hollande's success in the presidential election according to Eric Dupin?

A．His dislike of fights.

B．His careful plan for the presidential bid.

C．How different he is form Sarkozy.

D．The gentle way in which he ran his campaign.

【3】How did Hollande react to Sarkozy's verbal attacks according to the article?

A．He fought back violently.

B．He got annoyed on the spot.

C．He didn't say anything.

D．He dealt with them calmly.

【4】What did Hollande think he owed his success to，according to the article?

A．His good luck.

B． His devotion and efforts.

C．His obsession with politics.

D．His personality and experience.

【5】What is the purpose of the article?

A．To show what kind of person Hollande is.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

When I was 13，my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and the Beatles.I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections.I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities(名人)；my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers.I drove my mother crazy！But after a few years，my obsession(迷恋) with stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.

In the 35 years since I was a teenager，celebrity worship(崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows，and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet.It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.

Celebrity worship syndrome(综合征) is now considered a personality disorder.While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars，parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting.Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family.When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment，this is considered normal celebrity worship.However，when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star，this may be the time for concern.Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low selfconfidence and depression.Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.

A．it's normal for a teen to have celebrity worship

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen，beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia，based in Woburn，Massachusetts，says it plans to deliver its carplane，the Transition，to customers by the end of 2011.

“It's the next ‘wow’ vehicle，” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari，but as we say，Ferraris don't fly.”

The carplane has wings that unfold for flying－a process the company says takes one minute－and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.

The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies，although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations，and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.

The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports：You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go. When you land，you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport－you park it in the garage at home.

The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds，including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowin pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界的) conditions.

The Transition's price tag：$194,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio，a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a fullplane parachute.

“If you get into a very awful situation，it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.

So far，the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We're working very closely with them，but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.

【1】We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ________.

A．carplanes will be popular in 2011

B．people might drive a carplane in 2011

C．both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and land

D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts

【2】It takes the carplane one minute to ________.

A．fold and unfold its wings

B．unfold wings for flying

C．land in the airport

D．meet flying safety regulations

【3】According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?

A．The carplane needs a runway to take off and land.

B．To meet aircraft regulations，the company has been working with FAA.

C．The carplane may fly as high as normal planes.

D．People can park the carplane in the garage at their home.

【4】The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to ________.

A．the radio

B．the transponder

C．the GPS

D．the fullplane parachute

【5】What's the best title for the passage?

A．Cars with wings may be just around the corner

B．Which to choose：a Ferrari or a carplane?

C．A more convenient and cheaper way to fly

D．Cars with wings can fly as fast as planes

【题目】Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.

The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from.

In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect（探测〉water waste and leakage（泄漏）and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.

Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App（应用程序〉that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people.
