President Barack Obama set out his plans for the nation on January 27. At the top of his to-do list: his jobs for Americans, health care and education.
“Although we have our difficulties, our union is strong. We do not give up. We do not stop,” President Barack Obama told American in his State of the Union speech on January 27. Guests and government officials filled the hall of the House of Representatives (众议院).
Obama looked back on his first year in office and explained his plan for the future. He dealt with important matters, including health care, the nation’ s high unemployment, national security (安全) and education. Many times during the 70-minute speech, people in the hall clapped (拍手) their hands happily.
The U.S. law system requires the President to report regularly to government officials. Presidents see the speech as an opportunity to set their goals and encourage the nation.
The President devoted much of his speech to the plight of unemployed (失业的) Americans. “Jobs must be our Number 1 focus (焦点) in 2010,” he said. “People are out of work. They are hurting.” Obama also stressed the value of education. “The best way for people to lead a better life is a first-class education.” he told the nation.
Following the President’s speech, the other party always gets the chance to speak. Bob McDonnell, the new governor of Virginia, spoke for Republicans (共和党人). He agreed with many of Obama’s goals, but pointed out policy difference. He tried to persuade both parties to work together. The President had made the same point earlier in the evening. He promised to hold monthly meetings with members of both parties. “Let’s show the American people,” he said, “that we can do it together.”
It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that Obama’s speech on January 27 __________.
was made to explain his plan for the future
was welcomed by the government officials present
was given to ask for foreign help
was actually boring
The underlined word “plight” in para. 5 probably means __________.
A. education B. safety
C. goal D. sadness
Which of the following things does Obama consider the most important in 2010?
A. Health care. B. Jobs.
C. Education. D. National security.
We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.
Republicans don’ t agree with Obama’ s goals
Obama will try to cooperate with the other party
Bob McDonnell was not clear about the two parties’ policy differences
Republicans thought it difficult for the two parties to work together

阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填在标号为31-40的相应位置。
The American space agency opened for business on October first, 1958. NASA’s most important job was to 31 an American into space and return him safely to the earth. Project Mercury was the plan 32 doing this. It would use one of several dependable military rockets to launch a small, one-man spacecraft. 23 space vehicle would return to the earth and land in the ocean. Astronauts would be chosen for the program from the best military test pilots 34 had education in science or engineering.
The idea was simple. But making 35 happen was not a simple job. Thousands of scientists, engineers, technicians and other workers were needed. And money was needed―thousands of millions of dollars. Congress approved the money. NASA organized the program. The McDonnell company designed 36 built the spacecraft. The Army and Air Force built the Redstone, Jupiter and Atlas rockets. NASA announced the seven 37 chosen on April ninth, 1959. They immediately began training for space flight.
No time was wasted. The first test flights began later that year. Those test flights did not 38 astronauts. Men would fly the Mercury spacecraft only after it was proved safe. The 39 test flight was made at the end of January, 1961. A Mercury spacecraft carried a chimpanzee 40 Ham on a seven-hundred-kilometer flight over the Atlantic Ocean. There were some problems. But the animal survived the launch and the landing in the ocean.

As his quitting date comes near, Matt McDonnell, 51, has been thinking about his life as a smoker. “It has such power over me,” he admits, “but this is something I don’t want to continue doing.”
Diagnosed with a lung disease two years ago, the private investigator who has smoked 36 years is well aware of the damage cigarettes have done to his health.
When his wife Laurel bought him a bagpipe as a birthday gift a few years ago, McDonnell didn’t have the lung ability to play the instrument. “I could tell it was smoking-related and I couldn’t believe that my health was being stolen away.”
So he quit… for a while. “In four months, my skin tone improved and I noticed that I wasn’t getting chest pains.” But after a stressful day, McDonnell went out and bought cigarettes. “I felt like the biggest loser.”
Now working with non-smoking coach Angela Forfia, McDonnell says, “I find that it takes the average person seven attempts to actually quit and the big trip wires are emotional. Lesson learned: I will now follow this program― and it had better work!”
50. When did McDonnell begin to realize that something was wrong with his lung?
A. When he first began to smoke in his life.
B. When he was diagnosed with a lung disease.
C. When his wife bought him a bagpipe.
D. On a stressful day.
51. The underlined sentence “I felt like the biggest loser” means that ________.
A. he wanted very much to give up smoking B. he failed to give up smoking

B. Mr. McDonnell may smoke again a few months later.
C. Mr. McDonnell has given up smoking successfully now.
D. Mr. McDonnell wants to stop smoking but he can’t.
