Despite being tall, Michelle Obama is much smaller than she appears on television． And she seemed a little short by her surroundings in the great hall of Christchurch College as she spoke quietly without a microphone because of a technical mistake． Her audience were 40 young girls from a London state school where 50 languages are spoken．
“I remember how well-meaning but misguided people questioned whether someone with my background could succeed at an elite （精英） university,” she said． “When I was accepted, I had all kinds of worries and doubts． I wouldn’t be as well prepared as students from privileged families and I wouldn’t fit in． But you are just as capable and have just as much to offer as anyone else．”
This was Mrs． Obama’s only solo outing during the state visit and part two of an unusual relationship which she has struck up with Anderson College in Islington． Two years ago on her first visit to the UK she visited the school．
Yesterday she returned to meet the pupils but this time at Christchurch College where they were taking part in an open day run to improve Oxford’s still poor record on diversifying student intake．
Mrs． Obama was asked why she married her husband, what it was like being First Lady and when there would be a female President in the White House． Her message—which she repeated time and again—was work hard, have self-belief, and don’t be afraid to fail． It was very un-British, but rather effective． Afterwards there were hugs for everyone and a photo with her．
And watching the group of multicultural young Britons surround her among the splendor of the college building one thought stood out． Had Mrs． Obama been born in Britain, she would almost certainly not have made it to Oxford as she did to Harvard． But now—thanks in part to her—some of these children just might．

(答案→)D 解析：【小题1】D 推理题。根据文章第二段1，2行I remember how well-meaning but misguided people questioned whether someone with my background could succeed at an elite （精英） university,说明她的出身背景并不好，人们怀疑她是否能在精英大学中取得成功。故D正确。【小题2】C 推理题。根据第一段最后一句Her audience were 40 young girls from a London state school where 50 languages are spoken．说明这些学生来自伦敦的一所学校，这个学校里面的学生来自很多不同的地方，故C正确。【小题3】C 细节题。根据文章倒数第二段2,3行Her message—which she repeated time and again—was work hard, have self-belief, and don’t be afraid to fail．说明ABD都是她认为的成功的因素，只有C没有提到。【小题4】B 推理题。根据It was very un-British, but rather effective．中的effective说明她的讲话很有效，故B正确。
