　　The curtain on the 2008 US presidential election finally rose last month as Requblican Senator(參議員) John McCain and Democratic Senator Barack Obama were formally selected as candidates of the two major parties.This may be one of the hardest decisions voters have to make between two appealing candidates.The big question for voters,as they face both an economic downturn and international threats,is :who will they elect? A young first - term senator promising change and new ideas,or a longtime senator with strong military experience and a reputation as a maverick(特立獨(dú)行的人)？
　　American voters have never seen a candidate quite like Obama.He has a white mother from the US and a black fater from Kenya who left the family when Obama was very young.He spent part of his youth in Indonesia.
　　However,McCain has a very different life story.
　　He grew up in a Navy family and was a daring pilot during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. When Obama was in kindergarten in Indonesia,McCain's plane was shot down over Ietenam and he became a prisoner of war.McCain could have been set free if he disowned America but he refused and so was held for five years.
　　"We need a president who is very,very old,"McCain joked at his age as many others do.If elected,he would be 72 when he takes office and the oldest man to step in.
　　So in the end,the election may depend on several factors that are hard to judge:Will Obama's race matter to a significant number of voters ? Will workingclass whites who tended to support his primary (黨內(nèi)初選) oponent,Hillary Clinton,vote for Obama? And perhaps most important of all,will uncertain voters be more attracted to Obama's vision or to McCain's experience?
　　Whatever happens,one thing is clear,however:Whoever walks into the White House on January 20,2009,will find huge challenges waiting for him in the Oval Office,both at home and abroad.
　　64.______makes the result of the election hard to predict.
　　　A.Whether working class whites care about Obama's inexperience
　　　B.The economic trouble the country now faces
　　　C.Who uncertain voters will finally decide to vote for
　　　D.McCain being too old to govern the country
　　65.The appeal in Obama as a presidential candidate lies in _________
　　　A.his multi - cultural background
　　　B.his belife in tradition
　　　C.his inexperience in politics
　　　D.his fantastic promises
　　66.The word "disown" in Paragraph 6 means closest to ______.
　　　A.flee from
　　　B.turn his back on
　　　C.not keep it private
　　　D.expose secrets about
　　67.The challenges that will face the new preident______.
　　　A.are not mentioned in the text
　　　B.include buklding a strong party and a friendly image
　　　C.refer to the problems of immigrants and economy
　　　D.refer to the problems of economy amd international relations

　　Is jazz a kind of folk music? Is it a performing style? How is it different from other kinds of music? There is cur simple answer to the questions, because the most important quality of jazz comes from its unique combination of different musical sources over a period of almost 400 years.

　　The quality that unites the many different jazz forms is, in some degree, separate from its musical sources. The quality is the expression of freedom. The idea of freedom is central .

　　The ancestors of jazz were black people from West Africa who were bought to America as slaves, or forced laborers, from the early 1600s to the mid-1800s. Most of them remained slaves until President Lincoln set them free on January 1,1863, during the American Civil War.

　　With the loss of their personal freedom and the breaking up of their families, the slaves also lost the social traditions of their music from Africa. The complex rhythms of this music involved a number of people performing together. The breaking apart of the social groups forced slaves to create new songs, that is, to develop a completely new musical tradition .

　　Using some of the remembered African rhythms, the slaves gradually began to add some features of the European classical music that was played by the slave owners. The slaves were also influenced by American folk songs. But the result of adding these borrowed elements to the complex, African rhythms was the beginning of a completely new kind of music. Still, this music only existed privately among groups of slaves.

　　The slaves' work had another effect on their music. It introduced new kinds of musical rhythms. Some of these rhythms became work songs to accompany(伴隨) their planting and picking of cotton. Other rhythms were developed by teams of workers who needed to lift heavy loads of cotton onto carts that passed through the fields. Later, during the building of the railroads, individual workers created new songs to match the sharp rhythms of steel as they put the rails into place.

1．The main musical sources used by the slaves to develop a new kind of music were ________.

[　　]

A．folk music, jazz music and modern music

B．classical music. American rhythms and African folk songs

C．African music, European classical music and American folk songs

D．slaves' songs, rhythms of lifting heavy loads and sounds of striking steel

2．In some degree, the quality that many different jazz forms share is ________.

[　　]

A．the liberation of the American slaves

B．the expression of freedom

C．the respect for President Lincoln

D．the independence of the United States

3．“It introduces new kinds of musical rhythms.”Here “it” refers to ________.

[　　]

A．the slaves' music

B．a(chǎn) new musical rhythm

C．the slaves' work

D．a(chǎn)nother effect

4．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

[　　]

A．The ancestors of jazz music were people from east Africa.

B．Jazz music has mixed different kinds of musical sources.

C．Some of the rhythms of jazz music later became work songs.

D．It took quite a long time to develop jazz music .
