Running mate Joe Biden
Electoral vote365
Popular vote69,498,215
Percentage52.9%
The United States presidential election of 2008 was held on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. It was the 56th quadrennial United States presidential election. Outgoing Republican President George W. Bush's policies and actions and the American public's desire for change were key issues throughout the campaign, and during the general election campaign, both major party candidates ran on a platform of change and reform in Washington. Domestic policy and the economy eventually emerged as the main themes in the last few months of the election campaign, particularly after the onset of the 2008 economic crisis.
Democrat Barack Obama, then-junior United States Senator from Illinois, defeated Republican John McCain, the senior United States Senator from Arizona. Nine states changed sincerity from the 2004 election. Each had voted for the Republican nominee in 2004 and contributed to Obama's sizable Electoral College victory. The selected electors from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia voted for President and Vice President of the United States on December 15, 2008. Those votes were tallied before a joint session of Congress on January 8, 2009. Obama received 365 electoral votes, and McCain 173.
There were several unique aspects of the 2008 election. The election was the first in which an African American was elected President,[1] and the first time a Roman Catholic was elected Vice President.[2] It was also the first time two sitting senators ran against each other. It was the first election in 56 years in which neither an incumbent president (Bush was barred from seeking a third term by the Twenty-second Amendment) nor a vice president (Dick Cheney did not seek the presidency) ran. It was also the first time the Republican Party nominated a woman for Vice President and only the second time a woman was nominated for Vice President on a major party ticket. Also, voter turnout for the 2008 election was the highest in at least 40 years.

The original plan actually called for humor. On Wednesday
evening, actress Christy Carlson Romano was supposed to ring
the closing bell on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) to mark her debut in the Broadway musical "Avenue
Q." She plays two roles on stage -- a romantic kindergarten assistant, and a sexy nightclub singer.
After that day on the floor, the stock traders could have used a bit of comic relief. But it was not to be. Instead of Christy Carlson Romano, a NYSE employee in a joyless gray suit stood on the balcony and silently pressed a button. The bell rang and he disappeared. No waving, no clapping, none of the usual cheers.
By the end of Wednesday, no one here was in the mood for laughter. The bad news on Wall Street was coming thick and fast. All the US indexes were crashing again after Tuesday's brief and misleading breather. In its wild, rollercoaster ride, the Dow Jones lost about 450 points, which was almost as much as it lost on Monday, the most catastrophic day on US markets since 2001. For traders, now might just be the worst of times. Traders abandoned the NYSE temple visually defeated and immune to the TV crews waiting. The disastrous closing prices were flickering (闪烁的) on the ticker above the NYSE entrance: American Express -8.4 percent; Citigroup -10.9 percent; JP Morgan Chase -12.2 percent. American icons（偶像）, abused like stray dogs. Even Apple took a hit. "I don't know what else to say," stammered one broker, who was consoling himself with white wine and beer along with some colleagues at an outdoor bar called Beckett's. Ties and jackets were off, but despite the evening breeze, you could still make out the thin film of sweat on his forehead. His words captured the speechlessness of an industry.
Things got worse after the markets closed. Washington Mutual, America's fourth-largest bank, announced that it had started the process of putting itself up for sale. The Wall Street Journal reported that both Wells Fargo and the banking giant Citigroup were interested in taking over the battered（摧毁的）American savings bank.
Investors were turning their back to the market in flocks and fleeing to safer pastures. The price of gold broke its record for the highest increase in a one-day period.
31. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. The stock traders were very happy that day.
B. Christy Carlson Romano was a clerk on NYSE.
C. Christy Carlson Romano committed suicide.
D. Christy Carlson Romano was a excellent actress.
32. The underlined word“consoling”in Para.3 most probably means______
A. drowned
B. comforting
C. awarding
D. providing
33. Which of the following does NOT show that the economy is going down?
A. All the US indexes were crashing again after Tuesday's brief and misleading breather.
B. American icons, abused like stray dogs. Even Apple took a hit.
C. Both Wells Fargo and the banking giant Citigroup were interested in taking over the battered American savings bank.
D. The price of gold broke its record for the highest increase in a one-day period.
34. By saying“Investors were turning their back to the market in flocks and fleeing to safer pastures.”the author means____.
A. Investors were not in the mood for laughter.
B. Investors were leaving the stock markets.
C. Investors were changing their way of investments.
D. Investors had a passion for safer pastures.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Panic Is the Word of the Hour
B. the Dow Jones in its wild Rollercoaster Ride
C. All the US Indexes Were Crashing again
D. the most Catastrophic Day on US Markets
C
BEIJING(AP)-China’s unusually strong winter snowstorms damaged 10 percent of the country’s forests, leading to huge economic losses and widespread environmental destruction, the forestry administration said Tuesday.
Economic losses for the forestry reached $ 8 billion, Vice Minister of the State Forestry Administration Zhu Lieke told a news conference. The storms hit some of China’s best forest areas, and vital supplies for the timber(木材) industry, in southern China.
“There is no doubt this natural disaster has caused great losses to the forestry resources in the southern part of China, but the nationwide timber production capacity has not been fundamentally affected.” He said.
Heavy ice and snowstorms during January and through the Lunar New Year toppled trees, paralyzed much of China’s rail and road transport, froze power network and trapped hundreds of thousands of people heading home for the holiday. A large number of passengers said their backs were up against the wall as they had never met with such as an incredible heavy snow disaster, and meanwhile they were helpless.
Zhu mentioned 46 million acres of forest form 10 provinces in southern China suffered from the snow disaster. Forests in Hujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces were hit the worst. The timber production capacity of the disaster-struck areas will be “seriously affected” for three to five years, Zhu warned.
“Some companies that rely on bamboo and timber for raw materials will likely have to close. But the government will use timber from damaged forests to meet the market demand this year to ensure stable supply”, he promised.
The destruction will also alter the local ecology, causing landslides, forest fires, forest pests and disease. The storms caused trees to fall over; increasing the risk of
forest fires, especially as dry weather normally comes after a storm. About 20,000 nationally protected wild animals were injured and froze to death during the storms, Zhu said.
36. This passage most probably is ___________.
A. a news story from China Daily
B. a news translation from People’s Daily
C. an investigation report from Beijing Review
D. a news report form Associated Press.
37. Which of the following is NOT a direct result caused by this snow disaster?
A. Power network broke down.
B. Rail and road transport was paralyzed
C. Forest pests and diseases spread rapidly.
D. Protected wild animals were injured and killed.
38. What does the underline part “their backs were up against the wall” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. They were quite nervous
B. They were in a desperate situation
C. They faced the disaster
D. They stood against the wall
39. Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces suffered the greatest economic losses.
B. China’s timber production capacity will be seriously affected for three to five years.
C. Some companies will be closed by the government for relying on bamboo and timber.
D. The ecology in the disaster-struck areas will also be changed after this snow disaster.
40. The passage is mainly concerned with ________ caused by the heavy ice and snowstorms.
A. the huge economic losses
B. the serious damage of China’s forests
C. the paralyzed rail and road transport
D. the widespread environmental destruction.
D
Computers are helpful because they offer a wide range of functions and services that are not available anywhere else. There are four main uses: word processing, Internet/ communications, digital video/ audio composition, and desktop publishing.
The word processing capabilities of computers are amazing. They can automatically correct your spelling and grammar mistakes. The cutting and pasting features are incredibly simple and very useful for revision. Having a digital backup is an added benefit. All of these things help writers get the job done. With desktop publishing, you can create page layouts (页面部局) for entire books on your home computer.
The Internet is one of the greatest inventions created by humans. It is a huge
network of computers, each with the ability to contact any of the others. Vast amounts of information can be found on the Internet. It is the ultimate form of media, a combination of newspaper, radio and television. Using the Internet, any two people anywhere can communicate for free, whether it is by text or voice. New uses are being found for the Internet every day.
Audio/ video editing and composition have been made much easier by computers. Cutting and pasting no longer involve using scissors and tape on large reels of film. It no longer costs thousands of dollars of equipment to make a film or to compose music. Now musicians can compose their own songs and publish them without having to obtain a record contract. Film-makers can produce work from their own homes. Anybody who owns a computer can now enter the field of media production.
Internet/ communications, digital video and audio composition, and desktop publishing are features only offered on computers. With the aid of computers, humankind is entering a new era of civilization.

57. Joe is eleven years old. He enjoys reading picture books about animals. He often
buys some new ones. Last Saturday he bought a new book. There is such a sentence on the first page: “In a heartwarming twist on the ‘I-can-do-anything-you-can-do-better’ theme, Little Nutbrown Hare goes through a series of declarations regarding the breadth of his love for Big Nutbrown Hare”.
58. Tong Tong is five years and two months old now. His father bought him a story
