(2013·江西九江市高三模拟)President Barack Obama celebrated the start of construction on the National Museum of African American History and Culture, in Washington, D. C., at a ground-breaking ceremony on Wednesday. The new museum will tell a detailed history
of
black life, art and culture in the country. It will be “not just a record of tragedy, but a celebration of life,” Obama said in a speech at the event.
The museum will be built between the Washington Monument and the National Museum of American History on the National Mall. It will be the 19th museum in the Smithsonian Institute. The seven-level building's bronze design was inspired by African-American metalwork from New
Orleans, Louisiana and Charleston, South Carolina.
President Obama was joined on stage by First Lady Michelle Obama and former First Lady Laura Bush. He spoke about the importance of the museum's location in the nation's capital. “It was on this ground long ago that lives were once traded, where hundreds of thousands once marched for jobs and for freedom,”Obama said. “It was here that the pillars (核心) of democracy were built, often by black hands.”
The museum is scheduled to open in 2015, but curators (馆长) have already collected thousands of articles. Some are on display in a gallery at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, including a current exhibit about Thomas Jefferson and the slave families that live on his Monticello plantation in Virginia.
Collected things include musician Louis Armstrong's trumpet, a plane used to train Tuskegee Airmen, activist Harriet Tubman's shawl (披肩), a fedora (呢帽) worn by entertainer Michael Jackson and a dress made by Rosa Parks. The curators will choose from about 35,000 things to create the museum's permanent galleries, which will include spaces devoted to sports and military history.
President Obama spoke about how he wants his daughters and other children to experience the museum. “I want them to see how ordinary Americans could do extraordinary things, how men and women just like them had the courage and determination to right a wrong,”he said.

课时跟踪检测(十六)
Ⅰ.1.选A 句意:“碰上你在家,我很高兴。我需要你的帮助。”“怎么了,罗宾?”what's up“怎么了”,符合句意。what else“还有什么”;how come“怎么会”;why not“为什么不”。
2.选D 句意:我们村的年轻人现在过着一种比我们当时更舒服的生活。“the+形容词”表示的是一类人;live a ...life是固定搭配,意为“过着„„生活”。
3.选A 句意:“教授,我们怎样才能尽可能在旅游时不冒犯当地人?”“我认为应该遵守当地的风俗和规定。” observe “遵守”; approve “赞成;认可”; support “支持;拥护”; deliver “递送”。
4.选B 考查动词辨析。句意:大部分镇里人强烈支持为孩子们建操场的计划。support“支持”,符合句意。consider“考虑”;confirm“确认”;submit“呈递;递交”。
5.选C 句意:他们就那件事情彼此辩论了整个下午,最后终于达成了一致。argue with sb. about“就„„与某人争论”。
6.选D 问句句意:你是否碰巧认识莉莉演讲中提到的那位教授?refer to句中表示“提到”,这里用其过去分词形式作定语,修饰professor,表示被动意义。
7.选D 句意:当你站在山顶并俯瞰周围美景时,你会觉得尽力攀上来是值得的。It is worthwhile to do sth. “做„„是值得的”;It is possible to do sth. “做„„是可能的”。
8.选D 考查短语辨析。前句句意:我们不应该看不起和嘲笑那些没有能遮风挡雨的住处的人们。A项意为“盼望”;B项意为“高度评价”;C项意为“注意”;D项意为“蔑视;瞧不起”,符合句意。
9.选C 考查动词辨析。句意:“你知道吗?汤姆毕业后想成为哈利·波特。”“你在开玩笑吗?他永远不会成为一个像哈利·波特那样的人。”make可以表示“成为”之意,符合语境。而turn表示“变成”时,后常加表示颜色的名词,且前面不带冠词。
10.选C 句意:在某种程度上,我认为我们俩都赢了——我赢得了比赛,但是你赢得了
我的尊敬。support“支持”; favour“赞同”; impression“印象”,均不符合句意;只有respect“尊敬”,符合句意,故选C。
11.选B war“战争”;campaign“运动”;motion“运动;提议”;struggle“斗争”。显然只有B项符合答语的句意,即“的确!所以我们国家正在计划开展一项戒烟运动。”

13.选B 考查虚拟语气。第二句句意:若不是因为突如其来的雨,我们本可以玩得很开心的。根据上一句可知是对过去情况的叙述,而but for经常用于虚拟语气中,所以是对过去事实的假设。
14.选C the rest后接“of+复数名词”时,谓语动词用复数;the rest后接“of+单数名词”时,谓语动词用单数。本题中the rest后省略了of the ten questions, 且前一分句中的时态是一般过去时,故选were。
