His first successful fight was for the
equal rights of black people in South
Africa. Then, as the first black president,
he fought to unite the country and organize
the government. Now Nelson Mandela has
set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 Mandela, former president, hosted his second AIDS awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination. He decided to fight for equal rights for all people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, coloured and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography(自传).
As a skilled fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.

One day, I happened to talk to a stranger on the bus. When he found out that I was from Chicago, he told me that one of his good friends lived there and he wondered if I happened to know him. At first I wanted to say that it was foolish to think like that, for from all the millions of people in Chicago, I could not possibly know his friend. But, instead, I just smiled and said that Chicago was a very big city. He was quiet for a few minutes, and then he began to tell me all about his friend.
He told me that his friend was an excellent tennis player and that he even had his own tennis court (网球场). He added that he knew a lot of people with swimming pools, but that he only knew two people in the country who had their own tennis courts. And his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several people like that, for example, my brother and my next-door neighbor. I told him that my brother was a doctor and he lived in California. Then he
asked where my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that last year his friend spent the summer in Sacramento and lived next door to a doctor. The doctor had a tennis court. I said that my next-door went to Sacramento last summer and lived in the house next to my brother’s. For a moment, we looked at each other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood ” I asked finally. He laughed and said, “Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr. Ray Hunter ” It was my turn to laugh.

Pigs are always considered dirty
animals because they roll in mud(泥).
But in fact they prefer being quite
clean. They cover themselves with mud to help stay cool. During cooler weather, they prefer to stay clean. So do
elephants, who also cover themselves in dust or mud to keep cool. When they find a place with clean water they will take a bath, using their long noses to give themselves—or each other—a nice shower.
Some animals use dust to get clean. Chinchillas(南美洲栗鼠)have very fine fur. They don’t like to take water baths because water is not warm enough for them. So, instead, they roll around in fine dust. The dust helps to keep their fur and skin dry. This protects them from disease.
Usually, a small bird is a light meal
for a crocodile(鳄鱼). But when a crocodile
wants its teeth cleaned, it lies on the ground
with its mouth open. The crocodile bird goes
in and picks out any parasites(寄生虫)
between the crocodile’s teeth or under its tongue. The crocodile gets its mouth cleaned, and the crocodile bird gets dinner.
You wouldn’t think fish would
need baths. But some undersea parasites
live under the fish’s skin. “Cleaner” fish,
like the wrasse(隆头鱼), helps take them
away. The wrasse stands on its head and dances to signal a big fish that it is ready to go into the cleaning business. The big fish will stop moving and open its mouth wide so the wrasse can swim inside and pick out parasites and bits of food.
68. The passage is mainly about how animals____.
A. stay clean B. help each other
C. get their food D. take baths
【解析】 选A。主旨大意题。整篇文章都介绍了动物们是如何保持洁净的。
【规律方法】主题句定位法揭秘
众所周知,文章是由段落组成,每个段落都是围绕某个中心思想展开的一群句子的组合,而段落的中心思想又是为文章主旨服务的。寻找文章中心思想的方法是:通过分析篇章结构,找出每一小段的主题句,然后通过寻找共同点,找出整篇文章的主题句,这是找准文章主旨大意的关键。主题句在文章中的位置通常有三种:开头、文中和文末。解题时,我们通常采用浏览的方式,仔细选读文章的首尾段和首尾句(包括每一段的首尾句),重点搜索主题线索和脉络。下面阐述三种主题呈现的方式:
1)开门见山式
主题句出现在文首。开门见山,提出主题,随之用细节来解释、论证或发展主题思想。这种写作手法叫做演绎法,在英语文章中尤为常见,这种文章的主题句最容易找到,故主题思想显而易见。
2)藏头露尾式
主题句出现在文尾。即文章先阐述了细节,然后归纳要点,得出结论,概括主题,叫做归纳写作法,主题句往往位于末段。这一类文章的主题句也很明显,不难找到。
3)首尾呼应式
在有些文章中,为了突出主题,作者在文章开头提出主题,接着进行阐述或论证,在结尾时再次点出主题,这种首尾呼应的写作方式也很常见。值得注意的是,前后两个主题句不是简单的重复,再次出现的主题句往往是前面主题句的进一步引申或发展。
69. From Paragraphs 3 and 4, we can know that____.
A. some animals can get clean from others’ help
B. most animals are friendly to each other
C. small animals couldn’t get food from big ones
D. all of the animals prefer to stay clean
【解析】 选A。推理判断题。由第三段可知,鳄鱼鸟会帮助鳄鱼清理牙齿;由第四段可知隆头鱼会帮助其他鱼类清理寄生虫。两段共同之处是:某些动物可以依靠其他动物的帮助保持干净。B、C、D三项在文章第三、四段中找不到根据。
70. We can infer from the last paragraph that the wrasse__.
A. is often eaten by other fish
B. lives under other fish’s skin
C. is a small kind of fish
D. likes taking baths
【解析】 选C。推理判断题。根据文章第四段最后一句可知,隆头鱼可以游入其他鱼类的口中,这说明它是一种小鱼。

when引导的定语从句表示时间, 在定语从句中作时间状语。一般有下列两个特征:
1)先行词是表示时间的名词,如:time, the same day, holidays,year, period等。
2)先行词可以和相关介词构成介词短语在定语从句中充当时间状语。
1)若先行词表示时间, 但在定语从句中作宾语,则用that或which或省略。
2) when也可以用“介词+which”来表示。

⑤ Let me think of a proper situation______ this sentence can be used.
A. where B. that C. of whom D. which
【解析】选A。考查定语从句。句意:让我想一想这个句子可以用的合适的情况。situation 作先行词,且在从句中作状语时,常用where来引导,故选A。
where引导的定语从句具有的条件:
1)先行词是指地点或相当于地点的名词。
2)先行词可以和相关介词构成介词短语在定语从句中充当地点状语。
1)如果定语从句修饰point, situation, condition, stage, case和position等表示抽象意义的词时,常用where引导,表示“到了某种地步,在某种境况中”。
2)若先行词表示地点,但在定语从句中作主语或宾语,则用that或which; 当然,若作宾语时,关系词可省略。
① 请向我解释一下这次你迟到的原因。
Please explain to me the reason why you were late this time.

why引导定语从句的条件:
1)先行词是指原因的名词
2)先行词可以和相关介词构成介词短语在定语从句中充当原因状语。
若先行词表示原因,但在定语从句中作宾语,则用that或which或省略。

⑤Wind power is an ancient source of energy ____ we may return in the near future.
A. on which B. by which
C. to which D. from which
【解析】选C。考查介词+which的用法。=Wind power is an ancient source of energy which/that we may return to in the near future.
“介词+ which/whom”引导的定语从句 有两个特点:
1) 关系代词用作介词的宾语时,介词可以放于从句句首也可放于从句句末;介词放于从句句末时,关系代词可省略。
2)当先行词指人时,关系词要用whom, 而不用who; 指物时要用which,而不用that。
1) 一些固定搭配中,一般不将介词与动词分开,将介词提到关系代词之前。如listen to, look at, depend on, take care of, look into等。
2)“介词+ which/whom”也可引导非限制性定语从句。
3)介词的选用必须遵循的三个原则:
①依据定语从句中动词所需要的某种习惯搭配来确定。
②根据与先行词的搭配来确定。
③根据句子所表达的意思来确定。
Ⅰ. 用适当的介词填空
1. This is the countryside in which I spent five years.

2. She set hair the way___her husband liked.
A. how B. where C. in which D. that
【解析】选D。考查定语从句。the way作先行词且在从句中作宾语时,其后关系词我们常用which/that或不填,故选D。
3. Is there any reason___you should go away
A. why B. which C. where D. as
【解析】选A。考查定语从句。why=for which, 引导reason 后的定语从句,在从句中作状语。
4. Air,___ we breathe every day, is made up of oxygen and other gases.
A. that B. which

5. —Do you have anything to say for yourselves

A. which I think B. which I think is
C. which I think it D. which I think it is

A. whom B. who
C. to whom D. on whom
【解析】选C。考查定语从句中介词与关系代词的搭配。从句中的turn to sb. “转向某人寻求帮助”为固定搭配,to 被提至从句前。故选C。

It is Kate that has finished the task earlier.
是凯特提前完成了工作。
It is in 1949 that China was founded.
中国是在1949年成立的。
3)用“What. . . is/was. . . ”句型来强调主语或宾语,其特点是将被强调的部分后移。例如:
What surprised me was she should have passed the exam.
使我惊奇的是,她竟然通过了考试。
4)疑问词后加上-ever 可以对疑问句进行强调,表示“究竟,到底……”。例如:
Whatever are you going to say now

As a favorite of Chinese, Xiao Bao draws attention of crowds whenever he appears, which his mother says happens almost every time he hears music. “When he was young, we just started playing music to him and he started moving round like this, ” his mother said. “When he was just a couple of months old, we would let him listen to music and he would immediately stop crying and calm down, ” she told Reuters Television.
Xiao Bao was born prematurely (早产), and doctors suggested moving his body to music would do good to him, but his parents were surprised by how quickly and interestedly he took to the rhythm(节奏).
Dancing since he was two years old, he is skilled at the moonwalk and other Jackson moves, such as Beat It, Billie Jean and Dangerous.
Before long, his interest turned into an obsession (着迷)—the family spends up to 20, 000 yuan a month on dance training with a professional and outfits including tailor-made suits, hats and shirts.
Xiao Bao is serious about his dancing and says he will not mind becoming famous one day. But his parents say that no matter how talented their son is, his schooling will be the first choice.

1. Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela was born in
Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918.
His father was Chief Henry Mandela of the
Tembu Tribe(部落). Mandela himself was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the
University of Witwatersrand and qualified in law in 1942. He joined the African National Congress(非洲人民大会党) in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party’s apartheid policies(种族隔离政策) after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and was acquitted(宣判无罪) in 1961.
After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military(军事的) wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive(执行者) considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics(暴力策略) and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela’s campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of
Umkhonto we Sizwe(民族之矛). Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment with hard labor. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to (秘密计划)overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity.
On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was in prison at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland.
During his years in prison, Nelson Mandela’s reputation grew steadily. He was widely accepted as the most significant black leader in South Africa and became a potent symbol of resistance as the anti-apartheid movement (反对种族隔离运动) gathered strength. He refused to compromise(妥协) his political position to obtain his freedom.
Nelson Mandela was released on February 11, 1990. After his release, he plunged(投入) himself whole-heartedly into his life’s work, striving to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier. In 1991, at the first national conference of the ANC held inside South Africa after the organization had been banned in 1960, Mandela was elected President of the ANC while his lifelong friend and colleague, Oliver Tambo, became the organization’s National Chairperson.
Nelson Mandela accepted the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of all South Africans who had suffered and sacrificed so much to bring peace to our land. Long Walk to Freedom is his moving and popular autobiography(自传).
2. The ANC and the ANC Youth League
The ANC is a national liberation movement. It was formed in 1912 to unite the African people and spearhead the struggle for fundamental political, social and economic change. For nine decades the ANC has led the struggle against racism and oppression, organizing mass students’
resistance, mobilizing the international community and taking up the armed struggle against apartheid. Membership of the ANC is open to all South Africans above the age of 18 years, irrespective of race, color and creed, who accept its principles, policies and programmes.
The ANC Youth League was founded in 1944. The league propagated(传播) “Africanism” and its motto was “Africa’s cause must Triumph”. It was radical and militant. The members of it rejected the idea of“ foreign”leadership and argued that black Africans must provide their own leadership and rely upon themselves.
