2、gical park. It was soon clear that 8 acres wouldnt be enough.Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a survey for a 100-acre site, outside of Los Angeles.

Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.
16、Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sa
17、ms bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem
18、 is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gea
19、r wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His sugges
20、tions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees somethin
21、g in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perf
22、ectly. In short , he has solved the problem.43. By referring to Sams broken bicycle, the author intends to _.A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB. discuss the problems of his bicycleC. tell us how to solve a problemD. show us how to analyze a problem44. Which of the following is NOT true?A.
23、 People do not analyze the problem they meet.B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.C. People may learn from their past experience.D. People can not solve some problems they meet.45. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _.A. in the short term B. in detail C
24、. in a word D. in the end46. . In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except .A. recognize and define the problemB. look for information to make the problem clearerC. have suggestions for a possible solutionD. find a solution by trial or mistakeDThe campaign is over. The celebrations
25、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? Obamas vi
26、ctory appears to have given blacks and other minorities 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 doesnt have to be everybodys role model an
27、ymore.”Recent polls（民意测验）also suggest that Obamas victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks and whites “will finally be worked out”. This is the most hopeful response since the ques
28、tion was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963. However, its still too early to tell whether Obamas presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percent of all prisoner
29、s are African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on Americas racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse(瓦解)of the family unit in black communities.It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse (扭转) such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert
30、of African-American Studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. “Thats not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “Its actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.”In the opinion of black
31、British politician Trevor Phillips, Obamas 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
32、Londons The Times newspaper. “It will be the first time weve 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.”47. For years, before Obama was elected president of the US, _.A. Kobe was the only role model
33、 for all the blacksB. blacks could only find role models on the basketball courtC. minorities in America couldnt find role models in their real lifeD. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area48. According to Bill Bank, _.A. its better for young blacks to find role model
34、s in those who are close to themB. young blacks should not be so much influenced by ObamaC. blacks should find other role models because Obama is far from their realityD. Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans49. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The First African-Am
35、erican President B. Americas New Role ModelC. Obama- A Successful Black . D. Choosing a Right Role Model50. 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
36、leaders is white.D. The other three leaders except Obama are from Asian countries.第四节七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）Four goals for Perfect LifeHealthy and FitThe first goal common to all of us is health and energy. _51_Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and
