In the United States more than 80 colleges now accept just only women. Most of them were founded in the 19th century. They were set up to   21   women the education they could not get anywhere else. At that time   22   of the universities and colleges   23   only men. In the past 20 years many young women have   24   to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a   25 , some women’s colleges decided to accept men students, too. Others still refused to change. Now the women’s colleges are   26   again.
The president of Trinity College in Washington D. C said by the end of the 1980s women had come to   27   that studying at the same colleges with men and women did not mean   28   had the same chance to   29 . The president of Smith College in Massachusetts said “A women’s college 30   women to choose classes and activities 31 . For example, if a woman student wants to learn math, she will be given the chance. So the percentage of students who like to study math in a women’s college is   32   than that in a college with men and women.”

Recent studies   38   that this leadership continues after   39 . The studies also prove that it is easier for the American women who went to women’s college to   40   successful jobs later in life. Maybe that is why this kind of college is liked by people now.

The campaign（竞选）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 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（少数民族）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.”
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 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. ”
【小题1】 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

【小题2】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

【小题3】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

【小题4】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.

The United States will hold local, state and national elections this Tuesday. It seems that the Democrats (民主党) may be in a position to end Republican control of one or both houses of Congress.

Seventy percent of the fifty states will elect governors (地方长官). If the Democrats win four more of these than they have now, the Republicans would also lose their majority at the state level.

So both parties are fighting hard. Elections in America bring a flood of political advertising, especially on television. These messages are often negative (消极的) or attack ads.

Americans traditionally say they dislike negative ads, but political experts say these ads often work. In many cases, the candidates likely to gain from negative ads say that their own campaigns (活动) were not involved. Outside groups or national party committees often pay for these ads. Some are about issues, like a candidate’s position on the war in Iraq or immigration. But political ads increasingly seem to be attacking candidates personally.

Some political watchers say this year’s election has brought more negative ads than ever before. Whether this is true remains to be proven.

But some ads have made news, like a Republican National Committee ad against Harold Ford. The ad was based on the fact that last year he attended a Super Bowl party held by the men’s magazine Playboy. The ad showed an actress with bare shoulders saying she met him at the Play boy party. "Harold, call me," she says.

The ad might have seemed humorous, except that the woman is white and Mr. Ford is black.

63. The underlined word "some" in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.

A. campaigns B. Ads C. groups or party committees D. candidates

64. About political ads, the author ______.

A. doesn’t show his own opinion

B. thinks they are negative

C. considers them fair

D. disagrees with them

65. The author mainly discusses ______.

A. American elections

B. the ads campaign behind American elections

C. negative ads in the US

D. political advertising on TV

Having put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, you have ended 12 years of hard study. Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves!

There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.

High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It's to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.

At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres ( 佩带在扣眼上的花). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.

Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.

High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, in a pleasure cruise boat.

But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.
