When it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known
题型：不详难度：来源：
The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:
The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.
Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.
The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.
While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They’re not little princess. It’s just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”
Michelle also mentions another set of rules:
The girls must do their chores(家务), though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.
They must play a team sport, because it’s about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.
…
It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?

试题分析：本文讲述了奥巴马夫妇对Malia and Sasha设立的一系列的教育的规矩。
小题1:B 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:说明本文是关于奥巴马教育孩子方面的规则，故B正确。
小题2:C 推理题。根据文章第一段most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.说明虽然奥巴马的很多事情都已经为人所知，但是他的孩子的信息我们所知很少，都是处于一个保密的状态。故C正确。
小题3:D 细节题。根据文章第三段The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.说明每次旅行以后都要写一个报告，这是奥巴马的要求，故D正确。
小题4:A 细节题。根据第三段第一行Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends说明A项是例外，孩子不能随意地使用电话，其余三项都是允许的。故A想符合要求。
小题5:A 细节题。根据文章第二段The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general.说明这些规则在白宫以外也是要遵守的，故A正确。

Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment, one that will require thousands of first-time offenders—whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit—to install in their cars blood- alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition. The devices work like this—A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car’s ignition. If the result is higher than the legal limit, the car will not start. The device also requires random “rolling retests” once the driver is on the road.
Virginia’s current law requires only repeated offenders or those with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their cars.
The new law, which takes effect in July, will roughly increase the number of people required to use ignition interlock devices four times, and offenders will have to pay about $ 480 for a typical six-month installation.
The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders. Such groups as Mother Against Drunken Driving and The Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia’s 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5,500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving. Ignition interlock devices, they say, reduce repeat offenses. But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit 0.08, and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees.
Del. Sal R. Iaquinto, who sponsored the bill, had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devises: “How much does a life cost?” “Blowing into a tube for six months, you will remember that,” Iaquinto said, “And you’re not likely to offend again.”
小题1:The underlined word “ignition” in Paragraph 1probably refers to the part in a car where ___________.
| A．the alarm goes off | B．the engine starts | C．the door opens | D．the car is fueled |
| A．The first time drunken-driving offenders. |
| B．The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees. |
| C．The repeat drunken-driving offenders. |
| D．Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15. |
| A．fewer cases go to trial |
| B．lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again |
| C．interlock devices increase repeat offenses |
| D．the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders |
| A．prevention is better than cure | B．no law is absolutely perfect |
| C．punishment is the key to all | D．justice has long arms |
| A．Negative. | B．Indifferent. | C．flexible. | D．workable. |
At a time when many Americans have had their work hours cut or have even lost their jobs, Sherian Huddleston is working overtime. She works at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) where she oversees (监督) the enrollment (注册) of new students. The university’s population grew by 800 students this term —an increase of 4 percent over last spring’s enrollment. Huddleston says seeing the enrollment rise in a failing economy is not unexpected. "When people are out of work," she points out, "they will ask "What else can I do?’ or "What other careers can I follow?’ They will often return to school if they have not completed a degree before."
Older returning students aren’t the only ones increasing the enrollment at MTSU. Huddleston says she’s also seeing an increase in student transfers (转移). "Students who went out of state, or even within the state, to more expensive schools are transferring to public schools to make use of the lower cost of going to school here," she explains.

Jesse’s uncle, Vance Folsenzier, ran back into the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this didn’t kill it, the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down onto its stomach, and pull out the boy’s arm.
At the Baptist hospital in Pensacola, Dr Lan Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse’s arm. “It was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. If the arm hadn’t been recovered in time, we wouldn’t have been able to do the operation at all. What I means is that if they hadn’t found the shark, well then we wouldn’t have had a chance.”
According to local park ranger (园林管理者) Jack Tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky” he says, “Evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in the area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in the area where swimming is allowed.” When reporters asked Jesse’s uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark , he replied, “I was mad and you do some strange things when you’re mad.”
小题1:What was the boy doing when the accident happened?

| C．By flying him to hospital | D．By offering his blood |
