WASHINGTON — It is announced Friday that White House visitor records will be opened up on a regular basis for the first time in modern history, providing the public an unusually detailed look at who gets the opportunity to help shape American policy at the highest levels.
“Americans have a right to know whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process,” the president said in a written statement issued by the White House while he vacationed with his family at Camp David.
By the end of the year, the White House will begin posting online every month the names of the people who visited in the last 90 to 120 days. Each person’s full name will be listed, along with the date and time they entered and left and the name of the person they visited. About 70,000 to 100,000 people visit the White House each month, and the records will include tourists as well as people conducting business.
The White House pointed out several exceptions to the policy: “purely personal guests” of the Obama family; those cases in which the disclosure(透露) of visitors’ names “would threaten national safety interests”; and those who come for “particularly sensitive meetings,” like candidates for a Supreme Court nomination(提名). Officials said only a “small number” will fit in the latter category(類別), and their names would eventually be disclosed after they are no longer secret, like after a nomination is publicly announced. Moreover, they said, the number of undisclosed visitors will be disclosed, to make clear how few they are.
1.Why will the White House visitor records be open to the public?
A.To attract more visitors to the White House.
B.To allow people to know more about the life of the Obama family.
C.To let the public know who are influencing the policies.
D.To ask the public help correct the policies made by the government.
2.From the passage we can learn that ________.
A.All the visitors’ names will be posted online soon after their visits
B.Not all visitors are allowed to visit the White House
C.Some visitors’ names can be found online until they’re not secret
D.The records of the visitors will be kept for at least 4 months
3.According to the passage, whose name might be kept secret for some time?
A.A tourist. B.A businessman. C.A foreign student. D.A foreign minister.
4. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.The White House will open the records of the visitors to the public.
B.In America more and more people are becoming policy makers.
C.The Americans have a right to know who are making policies.
D.President Obama has announced a new policy while on holiday.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2013屆浙江省慈溪市高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試題 題型:閱讀理解
The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans. The coffee shop’s business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, and he was curious about the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did , and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company’s head of marketing.
In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the espresso(濃咖啡) bars there caught his eye. To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, work , and coffee bars . His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.
Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new stores---and that was only the beginning. As a matter of fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day!
Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United Stateds is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gains an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their customers.
1.What is the main topic of the reading?
A. how Starbucks has grown B. Starbucks’ customers
C. what Starbucks makes D. how Starbucks makes its coffee
2.Which is true about Starbucks’ first ten years of business?
A. It grew very quickly B. It was run by Howard Schultz
C. It was a small company D. It made special coffee makers
3.Who is Howard Schultz?
A. a coffee seller from New York B. the man who changed the company
C. an Italian coffee maker D. one of the original owners of the company
4.About how many new Starbucks opened in 1999?
A. 3 B. 150 C. 300 D. more than 1000
5.What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?
A. opening restaurants in just a few locations each year.
B. only selling locally produced coffee beans
C. working with other major coffee-making companies
D. learning about local customers.
