        B
        NEW York’s streets were covered by people dressed in elephant costumes and others waving anti-war posters with pictures of US President George W. Bush on them last week. But this was no carnival(狂歡節(jié))—it was the Republican Party’s National Convention, which attracted thousands of protestors(抗議者). It was the largest protest ever at a US political convention, with at least 120,000 people marching through Manhattan on August 29. They demanded that the US leave Iraq and a new president be chosen.
        The Republicans say the opposition Democrat Party(民主黨) encouraged the people on to the streets. They believe it is a Democratic move to help win presidential election, to be held on November 2. The election is described as “the decisive battle between donkey and elephant”. The two animals are the symbols of the two major political parties in the US. The elephant represents (象征) the Republicans, whose candidate, President George W. Bush, is trying to defeat the donkey to win his second term. The donkey represents the Democrats, whose candidate, John Kerry, is trying to kick the elephant out of the White House.
        Republicans think the elephant is powerful and clever, but the Democrats argue it is stupid and conservative(守舊的). In return, the Republicans regard the donkey as stubborn(倔強的) and silly but the Democrats say it is humble, plain, smart and courageous.
        The Republicans have been sending e-mails to Bush supporters and journalists with the header, “An Elephant Never Forgets”, said party spokeswoman Heather Layman. Elephants are known for their long memories. The e-mails suggest that Bush will keep his promises, while Kerry will not stick to his word.
        It is interesting that both symbols were created by a single person, Thomas Nast, a famous political cartoonist of the late 19th century. During the election in 1874, Nast drew a cartoon, in which a donkey in a lion’s skin frightened an elephant marked “Republican”.
        5. In the passage, the donkey stands for ________.
        A. the White House  
        B. the Republicans          
        C. the Democrats    
        D. John Kerry
        6. What does “kick the elephant out of the White House” mean?
        A. Drive the animal out of the White House.
        B. Drive President Bush out of power.
        C. Keep the elephant out of the White House.
        D. Insist on Bush’s being elected.
        7. In the eyes of the Republics, the donkey is considered as ________.
        A. clever        B. foolish                     C. polite              D. brave
        8. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
        A. The same artist created the two symbols.
        B. The emails suggest Kerry will not carry out his promises.
        C. “An Elephant Never Forgets” means that an elephant has a good memory.
        D. John Kerry is a Democrat.
