| 第3、4、5、6、7题： How Did She Conquer the Americans? African-American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the world's most powerful celebrity, according to Forbes magazine. (46) Winfrey, 51, draws 30 million viewers weekly in the United States. Her talk show reaches 112 countries. She earned US$225 million over the past 12 months to rank second in celebrity riches. The annual Forbes list gives most weight to annual earnings. (47) "After 21 years, her exciting chat show still rules the airwaves. It created new celebrities and hundreds of millions of dollars in profits," the magazine said. Winfrey is most popular with her popular talk show "The Oprah Winfrey Show". She can always attract the superstars and let them open up to her intimate interviewing style. Last month, American actor Tom Cruise, 42, surprised fans when he celebrated his new romance with 26-year-old actress Katie Holmes. He jumped up and down, shouting "I'm in love." Only a few years ago, Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman appeared separately on the same show telling the news of their divorce. (48) Winfrey's approach appears to be simple. She is in pursuit of self-improvement and self-empowerment (自强). This has proved to be just what people, especially women, want. Winfrey often talks about her personal secrets on her show. That pulls in viewers. For example, she revealed that she had been sexually abused as a child, and has spoken freely of her struggle with her weight. Winfrey was born to a poor family in Mississippi in 1954 (49) At the age of 19, she became the youngest person and the first African-American woman to anchor (主持) a news programme. Her success has not just been on the screen. Her media group includes a women's TV network and websites for women. Winfrey's work has extended to social change. (50) She testified before the US Senate to establish a national database of dangerous child abusers. President Bill Clinton later signed "Oprah Bill" into law A In 1991, she did a lot of work for the National Child Protection Act B She was not a very successful woman C She began broadcasting while still at high school D it placed Winfrey at the top of its annual ranking of the 100 people last week. E The couple had been tight-lipped about their break-up F But it also looks at the celebrity's presence on the Internet and in the media |

| 第9、10、11、12、13、14、15题： It has been well documented that for centuries the olive leaf has offered a natural means to cure many ailments of the body. This can also be applied as a toenail fungus cure. Oleuropein（橄榄苦甙）,the name established for the agent in the olive leaf extract,is the reason why the olive leaf provides many positive attributes. Olive trees require this substance to ensure that the plant itself is quite robust so as to withstand any harsh weather situations or attacks from insects. The antimicrobial（抗菌剂） characteristic of olive leaf extract comes about when the oleuropein breaks down in the body into a certain acid. This acid interferes with a pathogen's（病原体的） ability to replicate. A beneficial byproduct of this response is that a jump start is given to the immune system,which begins to fight bacteria and infection on its own as well. Studies today show that toenail fungus is a common,infectious condition that strikes many people. It typically occurs when the immune system is down and can be difficult to eliminate from your system once contracted. Scientifically is it referred to as onychomycosis（灰指甲） which accounts for a large proportion of nail disorders and can become rather unsightly and painful. It first begins as a discoloration of sorts or a light colored spot under the tip of the toenail which then runs to spread until the entire nail itself is noticeably yellow and rough completely yellow,thick and rough. Fortunately,toenail fungus doesn't have to be accepted as a part of life. Various treatments are now available on the market to eliminate the fungus that causes this unpleasant condition. Applying the natural healing potential of olive leaf oil has proven to be a safe and natural way rid of this difficult ailment. When purchasing olive leaf extract,it is important to purchase from a reputable company as the processing of the plant must be done carefully to ensure that the extract is potent and effective. When consuming olive leaf extract it is important to start slowly to prevent what is known as Herxheimer reaction or "die-off." However,this outcome only happens when large doses are taken quickly. If the treatment begins slowly and is gradually increased,this response to detoxification is rarely seen at all. It is a preferable course of treatment to ingest a small amount of capsules on a daily basis to relieve toenail fungus. It is necessary to complete this therapy until the fungus is completely extinguished. Even as the fungus dies and the toenail starts to clear it is critical to persist with the course until the infected portion has grown out altogether. This toenail fungus cure should be accompanied by future preventions so that this will not occur again by keeping toenails clean and hygienic and to always keep them protected when visiting public areas where toenails are exposed. 1.Olive trees require leuropein to survive any harsh weather situations or attacks from insects A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 2.The acid generated from oleuropein can strengthen a pathogen's ability to replicate.

| 第18、19、20、21、22、23、24题： Fighting for a Better Future for Woman When I was asked what it means to be a woman running for President, I always gave the same answer: that I was proud to be running as a woman but I was running because I thought I'd be the best president. But I am a woman, and like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases out there, often unconscious. I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us. I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worries about my daughter's future and a mother who wants to lead all children to brighter tomorrows. To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect. Let us resolve and work toward achieving some very simple propositions: There are no acceptable limits and there are no acceptable prejudices in the twenty-first century. You can be so proud that, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee, unremarkable to think that a woman can be the President of the United States. And that is truly remarkable. To those who are disappointed that we couldn't go all the way – especially the young people who put so much into this campaign – it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you're knocked down, get right back up. And never listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on. As we gather here today in this historic magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House. 16. Hillary Clinton has become the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party. A Right B Wrong C Not Mentioned 17. Hillary Clinton believed that if she were elected president of the United States, she would be the best. A Right B Wrong C Not Mentioned 18. The American people are now ready to accept a woman as their president. A Right B Wrong C Not Mentioned 19. The American young people feel disappointed at Hillary's failure to win the nomination. A Right B Wrong C Not Mentioned 20. America's 50th female astronaut is right now moving round the Earth. A Right B Wrong C Not Mentioned 21. Hillary Clinton will support Obama in the upcoming presidential election campaign. A Right B Wrong C Not Mentioned 22. Hillary Clinton will no longer run for president. A Right B Wrong C Not Mentioned |
