     McDonnell, who has made oil drilling off Virginia's coast, one of his administration's top tasks, flew
to Houston on Monday to advertise the benefits of offshore drilling at a national conference. He told
reporters before he left that he does not want to postpone drilling but to learn from the accident off
Louisiana's coast.
     "What we do as Americans is that we find out what went wrong and how can we do things better,"
McDonnell said. "I think that's the spirit of American people. "
     President Obama announced in March that Virginia will become one of the first East Coast states to
drill offshore for oil and natural gas. Companies could conduct exploratory drilling in Virginia's waters
50 miles off the coast late next year or early in 2012.
     In Virginia Beach, the state's largest city and one that relies heavily on tourism, Mayor Will Sessoms
said he would be worried if the timetable was not changed. Sessoms supported drilling and helped the
city pass a resolution (決議) in favor of it, in part to help the tourism industry by keeping the cost of gas
down. But, he said, the Louisiana accident was a wakeup call.
     "It's alarming to me, " Sessoms said. "It gives me great concern. "
     Obama swore Friday that no expansion of offshore oil drilling would take place until investigations
into the Louisiana accident were complete.
     Virginia's officials, who support drilling, said they agree that drilling should be delayed. Sen. Mark
Warner said it was "appropriate" for Obama to delay offshore projects. McDonnell said he wants to
see a full investigation into the Louisiana accident, but he still thinks that drilling could begin off Virginia's
coast as soon as next year or early 2012.
     McDonnell has also said that drilling off Virginia's coast would create thousands of jobs, as well as
lessen US dependence on foreign oil.
     A recent explosion and fire on an exploratory well in the Gulf (海灣) of Mexico left 11 workers
missing and dead. Crude oil (原油) has been leaking into the gulf since, inching closer to the coasts of
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
     The accident confirmed the worst fears of environmental groups and people already worried that
possible spills (溢出) could harm plants, animals, and tourism.
1. What was McDonnell's opinion about drilling off Virginia's coast?
A. It should be stopped as it may cause damage to the environment.
B. It should be delayed due to the gulf oil accident.
C. It has a lot of benefits, and thus shouldn't be delayed.
D. It could make the US dependent on foreign oil.
2. Why did Will Sessoms support drilling off Virginia's coast?
A. It could create thousands of jobs.
B. It could help recover the economy.
C. It met the spirit of American people.
D. It partly helped the tourism industry.
3. What do we know about the accident?
A. The explosion in the Gulf of Mexico killed 11 workers.
B. The leaked crude oil may affect the coasts of 3 states.
C. The investigation into the accident has been completed.
D. Officials who support drilling off Virginia's coast are not in favor of the investigation.
4. What is the main idea of the report?
A. Officials reconsider support for drilling after the gulf oil accident.
B. It is dangerous to drill oil off the coasts.
C. People should learn from oil accidents to reduce damage to our environment.
D. Investigations should be carried out immediately after oil accidents.

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 (眾議院).

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 (失業(yè)的) Americans. “Jobs must be our Number 1 focus (焦點(diǎn)) 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 (共和黨人). 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 (推斷) 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

   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

   C. he spent too much money on cigarettes          D. he lost his way home

52. What conclusion can we draw according to the last paragraph?

   A. Mr. McDonnell will not smoke any more.

   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.
