Obama has made history by becoming the first African-American in American history.
Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. His parents didn’t live together when he was two years old and later divorced. Obama grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia University in 1983. Obama met his wife, Robinson, in June, 1989 and married her on October 3rd, 1992. The couple’s first daughter was born in 1998, followed by a second daughter in 2001.
Obama took office in January 20, 2009. However, just when he became the president, he had to face many serious challenges ---- two foreign wars, the climate change and what he had described as “the worst financial crisis (經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)) in a century”. But Obama said that he himself had been ready to face these challenges.
Obama’s success is a true milestone. It speaks to the fact that in America you really do get a chance to do anything, if you have the talent and abilities and you work hard enough.

試題分析:1.根據(jù)Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961.和Obama took office in January 20, 2009. However, just when he became the president可知,奧巴馬當(dāng)總統(tǒng)時(shí)是48歲。
2.通過(guò)Obama has made history by becoming the first African-American in American history.可知,奧巴馬是美國(guó)歷史上首位非洲裔的總統(tǒng),也是第一位黑人總統(tǒng)。所以C是正確的。
3. 通過(guò)if you have the talent and abilities and you work hard enough.可知,本題的答案是D。
4.根據(jù)句意和just when he became the president一句可知,此處的take office應(yīng)該是“就職”的意思。
5.根據(jù)第三自然段中的two foreign wars, the climate change and what he had described as “the worst financial crisis 一句可知,C選項(xiàng)中的人口問(wèn)題是不對(duì)的,所以本題選C。
