专题四ⅠB自选模块综合练(一)题号：05阅读理解阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

The campaign was over.The celebrations ended.And the work for US President Barack Obama began.Born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and an American mother，Obama was called a “political upstart”in American polit ics often because he had only been a senator(参议员)for four years.The 47­year­old politician rose to the highest post because of his attitude against the war in Iraq and his plans to fix an ailing(病态的)economy. ①Obama’s victory appeared to have given bla cks and other minorities a true national role model.For years，many looked to athletes，musicians and famous persons for inspiration.As Darius Turner，an African­American high school student in Los Angeles，told the Los Angeles Times，“②”A USA Today poll f ound that two­thirds of Americans believed relations between blacks and whites“will eventually work out”．That was the most hopeful response since the question was first asked in 1963.However，it was still too early to tell whether Obama would solve the soci al problems facing low­income blacks.Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population,55 percent of all prisoners are African­American.Such numbers can be blamed on America’s racist past，a failure of government policy and the collapse(坍塌)of the family unit in black communities.It was unlikely that Obama would be able to change such trends overnight.However，Bill Banks，an expert of African­American Studies，said that basically young blacks needed to find role models in their own communities.“That’s not Martin Luther King，and not Barack Obama，”he told the Los Angeles Times.“③ Barack only has so much influence.”In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, ④“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 Barack Obama；not one of them is white，”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 psycholo gical change for all sorts of people.”第一节根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D、E中选出最适合放入短文空缺处的选项。

We often hear people say，“Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination.A person who ⑥ (believe) in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he ⑦.In my opinion，the determination to succeed is an important quality⑧ (have)．Therefore，I believe that we should never give up.One reason is that if we give up too ⑨，we will rarely achieve anything.It is not unusual for us to fail in our first ⑩ at something new，so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. ⑪，if we always give up when we fail，we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people.Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort.If we do not try again，the ⑫ we have learned is wasted.Finally，we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals，we develop confidence，and this confidence can help us succeed in other ⑬ of our lives.If we never challenge ourselves，we will begin to doubt our abilities.In short，it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. ⑭we succeed in the end or not，we will learn something，and what we learn will help us to become better，more confident people.Furthermore，if we give up，it is impossible for us to achieve our goals，but if we keep trying，there is always a ⑮ that wewill succeed one day.⑥_________⑦__________⑧__________⑨__________ ⑩__________ ⑪__________⑫__________ ⑬__________ ⑭__________⑮__________题号：05阅读理解阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

A while ago，I didn’t think I had a passion.I thought a passion was for fanatics(狂热者) with nothing better to do than obsess(入迷) over a hobby.At that time，I didn’t know how important having a passion is to exist. ①There are so many passions.Whether one loves playing a sport，listening to music，or coming home to their children，the important thing is the satisfaction and joy gained from the activity.My first meeting with this knowledge was in seventh grade.I went with my mom to drop my sister off.As my mom stopped at a red light，someone caught my eye.It was a man dressed in rags standing o n the side of the road.It wasn’t the fact that he was homeless that interested me，for I had seen many like him before. ② This man was not sitting down with a sad and hopeless expression.He was standing waving his hands and doing a half­dance.He held a radio as it was the most precious item he had.Seeing all this surprised me.“Mom，why does that man have a radio even though he’s homeless？”I asked，not expecting much of an answer.“He bought it，”she replied，focusing on the traffic.I was still puzzled.“But if he’s homeless，why doesn’t he use his money to buy food or clothes？He wasted his money on something he doesn’t need.”“Well，Sarah，sometimes food isn’t the most important thing.Music can be food for the soul.Food and shelter aren’t the only things we nee d. ③”I wasn’t expecting such a response and thought about what I had just seen.That man must care enough about music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes.Maybe my mom was right.I had never thought about delight in depth，but I soon realized that happiness is a key to existence. ④That’s how necessary a passion is.It provides the happiness which every person enjoys.Since those few moments of seeing that scene，I’ve never gone a day without thinking of what’s truly important.Now I realize that we all need a joy，a light in a dark day，and we all need a passion.第一节根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D、E中选出最适合放入短文空缺处的选项。
