40、ges. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Lego Group had a very humble beginning in the workshop

41、of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Denmark. Christiansen began creating wooden toys in 1932. Two years later, he stumbled on the Lego name by putting together the first two letters of the Danish words Leg and Godt, which mean “play well.” The name could be interpreted as “I put together” in

42、Latin; it also corresponds to the Greek verb meaning “gather” or “pick up.”In 1947, the company expanded to making plastic toys. At first, the use of plastic for toy manufacture was not highly regarded by retailers and consumers of the time. Many of the Lego Groups shipments were returned, following

43、 poor sales. However, Christiansens son, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, saw the immense potential in Lego bricks to become a system for creative play. As the junior managing director of the Lego Group, he spent years trying to improve the “locking” ability of the bricks and made the bricks more versati

44、le. In 1958, the modern interlocking brick design was finally developed and patented.Today Lego is sold in more than 130 countries. Every minute 33,824 Lego bricks are made, and kids around the world spend 5 billion hours a year playing with Lego. There will be more than 400 million people playing w

45、ith Lego bricks this year. On average, every person in the world owns 62 Lego bricks, and about seven Lego sets are sold every second.This year Lego fans all over the world are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the tiny building blocks. Though already 50 years old, Lego is still the same product i

46、t was in the 1950s. Bricks bought then are still compatible with current bricks and that is probably the reason the toy has never fallen out of favor.65.Which of the following is true about the name Lego?A. It is a combination of Greek and Latin words.B. It was created by Ole Kirk Christiansens son.

47、C. It was created in 1947 for naming the plastic toys.D.

48、n the world own Lego sets.B. Children spend an average of 62 dollars on Lego bricks each year.C. People in the world spend 400 million hours playing with Lego every year.D.

The price of the toy is relatively reasonable.()Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential can

50、didates and how theyll change America. Rightly so. But selfishly, Im more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the worlds attention. And that means that for the f

51、irst time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that were all hot-tempered single mothers who cant keep a man. Even in the world of m

52、ake-believe, black women still cant escape the stereotype of being neck-swirling, eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic mothers.These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a

53、 cause, charity or foundations as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simply to be herself.It wont be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we

54、face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will become a stand-in for us all.Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of adoring fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. African-American blogs have all written about what theyd like to see Michelle br

55、ing to the White Housemainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyonean impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise, confidence and intellect will go a long way

56、 in changing an image thats been around for far too long.69. Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author? A. She serves as a role model for African-American women.B. She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.C. She will present to the world a new image of Afri

57、can-American women.D. She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women70. What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?A. They are victims of family violence. B. They are of an inferior social group. C. They use quite a lot of body language.

58、 D. They live on charity and social welfare.71. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady? A. However many fans she has, she should remain modest.B. She shouldnt disappoint the African-American community.C. However hard she tries, she cant expect to please everybody.D. She will g

59、ive priority to African-American womens concern. (C)In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are cou

60、ntries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you
