Few politicians have been as respected in life or honoured in death as former South African President Nelson Mandela. Since the anti-apartheid (反對(duì)種族隔離)hero and South Africa's first black president died at 95 in his Johannesburg home on Dec. 5， people around the world, no matter how different their backgrounds and political beliefs are, have been memorializing him in different languages and in different ways.

Mandela was not perfect, and the country he leaves behind still faces many problems. But despite his short?comings ,he leaves the world a heritage to treasure, said a Beijing News editorial on Saturday.

At one time,South Africawas the crudest corner of the world, having serious apartheid. At that time black and white people's living an equal life in the coun?try was an unachievable dream. Both the introduction of democracy(民主)and the avoidance of what would have in all likelihood been Africa's bloodiest civil war were regarded as missions impossible.

It was Mandela who led South Africans to put an end to apartheid, realize social harmony and build a dream nation. There may still be disagreements from time to time, but people seek to resolve their problems and differences through civilized means.

This is the most valuable heritage of Mandela, who endured 27 years of hardships in prison and walked out with new reflections and thoughts with which to guide all races to own their equal rights and interests. His perseverance and tolerance won him supporters both at home and abroad and moved even his enemies.

The reason why South Africa has realized a stable change and avoided hatred and killing between different races is the establishment of a foundation of mutual trust and recognition of the need for social order, rhe co-existence of different human races under the principle of equality and their resorting to peaceful, democratic and legal means to resolve differences are part of Mandela's memorable contribution.

Since 1999, Mandela lived a quiet and retired life. He resigned at the peak of his political life and avoided repeating the mistakes of many political figures of his time. He performed a politician's mission in an almost perfect way.

1. What can we know about the situation from the un?derlined sentence in the third paragraph?

A.It seemed difficult to realize democracy and avoid the civil war at that time.

B.Democracy could not be realized unless peoplewon the civil war.

C.The bloodiest civil war prevented the introduction of democracy toSouth Africa.

D.The introduction of democracy avoided the civil war inSouth Africa.

B.Mandela inspired his people to deal with problems and differences in civilized ways.

C.Mandela taught his people to realize the impor?tance of social order.

D.Mandela created a dream nation for his people without any disagreements.

3.According to the last paragraph, the writer's attitude towards Mandela's retirement is .

A. critical   B. supportive

C. indifferent  D. doubtful

4.What words can best describe Nelson Mandela ac?cording to the passage?

【文章大意】本文是一篇人物傳記，主要講述了前南非總統(tǒng)曼德拉的故事。

A句意理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句"Both—democra-cy(民主)and the avoidance -" bloodiest civil war were regarded as missions impossible."及對(duì)整段的理解可知，在南非實(shí)現(xiàn)民主和避免內(nèi)戰(zhàn)在當(dāng)時(shí)幾乎是不可能的，故選A項(xiàng)。

D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段第二句"There may still be disagreements from time to time, but people seek to resolve their problems and differences through civilized means可知，南非國(guó)內(nèi)盡管仍有不同意見，但是曼德拉教會(huì)人們用民主化的方式去解決問(wèn)題和分歧，而不是沒有了分歧和爭(zhēng)端，故選D項(xiàng)。

B觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后兩句"…avoided re?peating the mistakes of... He performed a politician's mission in an almost perfect way."可推知，作者對(duì)曼德拉從政壇退出表示支持和贊賞，故選B項(xiàng)。

C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第五段最后一句"His perseverance and tolerance won him supporters both at home and abroad and moved even his enemies."'并結(jié)合對(duì)全文的整體理解可推知，曼德拉是一個(gè)不屈不撓、無(wú)私的偉人，故選C項(xiàng)。

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填人空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and that's actually quite true. 9 After all, making a good first impression is all about making others feel good when spending time with them. The following tips will help you make a positive impression every time.

•  Dress appropriately.

10 That means dressing up or putting on nice, clean, situation-appropriate clothes for social situations. It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much, either.

•   Be aware of your body language.

Words express very little of what you say. Body lan?guage can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level. 11 Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfortable, important and special. Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious. Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others.

•  Respect the opinions of others.

Not everyone will have the same opinion with you, and friendly disagreements can be a gateway to a great conversa?tion. Respect other people's right to have their own opinion. Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them. 12

 People love talking about themselves, but generally, you want to be careful of taking over the conversation. By listen?ing carefully to what others are saying, you are not only mak?ing them feel important, but also gathering cues you need to keep the conversation going and bridge to new topics.

A.     Be a careful listener.

B.     Show an interest in every person you meet.

C.     Smile especially when first meeting someone.

D.     Make sure you look nice whenever you meet
someone new.

E.     Meeting new people and starting conversations is often challenging.

F.      Others will want to be with you and help you make a good impression.

G.     Don't force others to believe what you believe or to see things only as you see them.

I.閱讀理解

A [2015 .江淮名校高三第二次聯(lián)考] My old digital camera broke down, so I wanted to buy a new one. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the Internet, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an as?sistant, "Can I have one of those? " He looked perturbed(不安的)."Do you want to try it first? "he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. "Do 1 need to?" I replied, "There's nothing wrong with it. " This made htm look a bit offended and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it," he said encouragingly. "Compare it with the others."

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly differ?ent prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y， always trying to take Z and pos?sibly H into account at the same time. But when I had fin-ished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice ， the clever choice* and the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupt?ed to ask whether I needed to buy a carry case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine. 

  1. The  shop  assistant  insisted  that  the  writer should

A.     trust him and stop asking questions

B.     try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

C.     get more information about different companies

D.     compare the camera he had chosen with the others

2. What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph 2)?

 A.     He should get a 50% discount.

B.      The price of the camera would soon fall.

C.      The quality of the camera was not good.

D.     The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

3.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he_________ .

 A.     knew very little about it

B.     wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

C.     didn't trust the shop assistant

D.     had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers

4.It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's
opinion, ________ .

 A.     we waste too much money on cameras

B.     cameras have become an important part of our daily life

C.     we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product

D.     famous companies care more about profit than quality

A [2015 •河南鄭州高三模擬]

The year of 2014 saw smart people always busy inventing useful things, which have helped to make the world better, smarter and a little more fun. Now,let's take a look at some of the inventions.

Super banana

  Australian biogeneticist(生物遺傳學(xué)家）James Dale visi?ted Uganda,a poor African country,in the early 2000s, where he found that 15%〜30% of children under 5 were at the risk of going blind because they didn't get enough vitamin A. Dale also learned that people there love bananas. They eat 3 to 11 bananas a day. So he came up with an idea to plant bananas containing added nutrition in order to improve Ugandans' health. With the help of Bill Gates' foundation,Dale developed the"super banana". He added a gene to the fruit,making it rich in vitamin A.

Coaching basketball

  Basketball is popular worldwide, partly because you only need a hoop(籃簠)and a ball to play the game. But this sim?ple game experienced a technology makeover with the devel?opment of a smart sensor basketball.

The ball, called the 94Fifty Basketball, has 9 sensors in?side. They can tell you anything from how fast you are going to how accurate your shot angles are.

With a Bluetooth chip inside, the basketball can connect to your smart phone and tell you in the voice of a coach to "snap your wrist" or "go faster", depending on the data.

The hovercraft

Thanks to the California-based company Hendo, flying past your friends on a floating board could soon become a re?ality.

The hovercraft has 4 small engines. These create a spe?cial magnetic field which produces enough force to lift the board off the ground.

At the moment ， the hoverboard (懸浮滑板)can only-float an inch off the ground for 15 minutes and must fly over a metal material. It's expensive too, at $ 10,000, but the com?pany hopes that one day the technology could be used.

Wireless electricity

  Most of us could not bear to live without wireless Inter?net. We use it every day for everything from our phones to our cars. But one company wants to go a step further by com?bining wireless technology with electricity.

That's right, no more tangled (纏繞的）wires and no more having to sit and hold your cellphone near a power sock?et (插 座) in the corner of the room. WiTricity, a US compa?ny? has invented technology that can power objects up to 2. 4 metres away. It uses a special plug-in coiK線圈)that creates a magnetic field!

1.Which of the following statements would James Dale agree with?

 A.     Children in Uganda should eat fewer bananas.

B.     Vitamin A is largely found in fruits like bananas.

C.     Super bananas are definitely a safe biological product.

D.     People's eating habits can be used to develop new food.

2.What is the biggest advantage of the 94Fifty Basketball?

 A.     The sensors hidden inside can help players run faster in a game.

B.     It can help players to improve their shooting and ball-handling skills.

C.     It allows players to connect to their smart phones while playing basketball.

D.     The Bluetooth chip inside allows its users to listen to music while playing basketball.

3.What can we learn about the hovercraft from the text?

 A.     It enables its users to float off the ground freely.

B.     It can work on many different kinds of surfaces.

C.     It still needs to improve its power and efficiency.

D.     It is an affordable means of transport for a family.

4.What do the hovercraft and wireless electricity have in common according to the text?

 A.     They create magnetic fields to produce power.

B.     They apply technologies to many things in life.

C.     They are technologies which can produce electricity.

D.     They use wireless technology to improve their prod?ucts.

A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshipping Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Min-ho as demigods (被神化的人物).Chinese denizens always have different opinions over Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that pro?grammes from the neighbouring country are now enjo?ying a new round of popularity in China.

The widening wealth gap is a matter of social con?cern both inKoreaandChina, and the challenges that young people face in their hope for a better life might have caused many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men. This is precisely what the popular Ko?rean TV dramas describe. In fact > Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the market's demands.

Many denizens even said at an earlier time that Ko?rean TV dramas had become popular because of their stereotyped (模式化的)themes： traffic accidents, canc?er and other incurable diseases.
