纳尔逊·曼德拉的一生充满激情,他每天都在为自由而战。他不仅仅是一位伟人,更是一位英雄。
Nelson Mandela, who was the first black president of South Africa, passed away on Dec.5,2013.His death is a great loss(损失) to the whole world.
Nelson Mandela grew up in South Africa with a government that did not consider black people equal(平等的) to white people.But Nelson Mandela was a fighter.He refused to accept this unfair idea of the government and began to fight to make South Africa a fair country for everybody.He became the leader of a political movement called the African National Congress (ANC),and did everything he could to encourage the government to change their ideas.He was in prison for 27 years.This was a terrible prison where people had
to work hard all day and were treated(对待) very badly.Then in 1990, Nelson Mandela was freed and it was the beginning of the end for the unfair government of South Africa.Less than five years after he was set free, Mr.Mandela was given the Nobel Peace Prize and elected(选举) as the first black president of South Africa.Today, thanks to the brave fight by Nelson Mandela, the government of South Africa has become fairer.Now everyone in South Africa can enjoy comfortable and happy lives at home and at work.Nelson Mandela is one of the world’s true freedom fighters, and his life will be remembered long after the world has forgotten the earlier unfair government of South Africa.
Though dead, he will live in our heart forever.

ELIAS’ STORY
My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa.The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer①to whom I went for advice.He offered guidance② to poor black people on their legal③problems. He was generous with④ his time, for which I was grateful.
◆when在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词The time。
◆to whom在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词the black lawyer。介词to与从句中的went搭配(go to sb.for advice去某人处寻求建议)。
◆for which在此引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的整个句子。介词for与从句中的grateful搭配(be grateful for sth.对某事非常感激)。
I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometres away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees⑤and the bus fare⑥. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook⑦ to live in Johannesburg.Sadly I did not have one because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work⑧.
◆where在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词The school。
◆“this was a time when...”是常考句式,其中when引导定语从句,修饰先行词a time。
The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told me how to get the correct papers⑨ so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful⑩ about my future.I never forgot how kind Mandela was.When he organized the ANC Youth?League?, I joined it as soon as I could.He said:

It was the truth.Black people could not vote?or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted.The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people.The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa.No one could grow food there.In fact as Nelson Mandela said:

伊莱亚斯的故事
我叫伊莱亚斯,是南非的一个穷苦黑人工人。第一次见到纳尔逊·曼德拉的时候,是我一生中非常艰难的时期。(当时)我才12岁。那是在1952年,曼德拉是我寻求建议的那位黑人律师。他在法律问题上给贫苦的黑人提供指导。他不吝惜时间,我对此非常感激。
我需要他的帮助,因为我只受过很少的教育。我六岁开始上学,我仅仅读了两年的那所学校有三公里远。我不得不辍学,因为我家无法继续支付学费和车费。我既读不好也写不好。几经周折,我才在一家金矿上找到一份工作。然而在那个时候,一个人要想住在约翰内斯堡就非得要有身份证不可。不幸的是我没有这个证件,因为我不是在那里出生的,我很担心自己会失业。
纳尔逊·曼德拉帮助我的那天是我最高兴的日子之一。他告诉我要想在约翰内斯堡立住脚,应当如何获取所需证件。我对自己的未来更加充满了希望。我永远忘不了曼德拉是多么和善。当他组织了非国大青年联盟时,我马上就参加了这个组织。他说:
“过去30年来所出现的大量法律剥夺我们的权利,阻挡我们的进步,一直到今天,我们还处在几乎什么权利都没有的阶段。”
这是事实。黑人没有选举权,也无权选择他们的领导人。他们不能做自己想要做的工作。他们在城里不得不居住的地方是由白人决定的。他们被打发去城外居住的地方是南非最贫穷的地区。没有人能在那儿种庄稼。事实上,正如纳尔逊·曼德拉所说的:
“……我们被置于这样一个境地:要么被迫接受低人一等的现实,要么跟政府作斗争。我们选择向法律进攻。首先我们用和平的方式来打破法律,当这种方式得不到允许时……只有到那个时候,我们才决定用暴力反抗暴力。”
事实上,我并不喜欢暴力……但是在1963年,我帮助他炸毁了一些政府大楼。那是很危险的,因为如果被抓住了,我可能要坐牢。但我乐于帮忙,因为我知道这将帮助我们实现使黑人和白人平等的梦想。

Thomas Edison was born in 1847 in Ohio.People around found little Edison very bright because he often took things apart to see how they worked.
In the early 1860s, he created his first important invention, a telegraphic(电报的) repeater that could send messages over a second line. At 21, he invented an electrical vote recorder and got his first patent(专利) for it.The next year he designed an improved stock ticker, a kind of electronic communications medium, and then set up a company to produce it. In 1874, he invented the quadruplex telegraph, a type of electrical telegraph.
Edison built his first laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey when he was 30 years old.They often had several projects going at once, and it wasn’t long before they started producing one invention after another, including such revolutionary inventions as the phonograph and the electric light.
The lab was successful because of Edison’s inventive talent, his strong determination, and his ability to inspire his assistants’ devotion by working so hard along with them and relaxing with them.The lab even had a pipe organ, a kind of musical instrument.After a long day of work, he would play the pipe organ while he and his assistants would sing along.The people who worked with him during those years would often say that those were the happiest days of their lives.
Edison’s goal was to create a small invention every ten days and a big invention every six months.Edison once said, “I always invented to gain money to go on inventing”, so the money wasn’t really the goal for him.The money was used to make sure that he could continue his work.
Eventually the lab at Menlo Park couldn’t contain all of the work that he wanted to do, so Edison built a new laboratory complex in West Orange, New Jersey.Then he could undertake more projects with greater resources than had ever been possible before.

Tea is the second most popular drink in the world after water.There are different kinds of tea including green tea and black tea.A cup of tea has become a part of our daily lives and our culture.Earlier, tea used to be made in large pots.Hot water was poured over a bunch of tea leaves even to make a single cup.It is believed that this led to waste of tea and that is where the story of the teabag comes in.
It is more convenient and easier to use a teabag than to brew(沏) fresh tea leaves every time you want to make a cup of tea.With the help of teabags, tea was made available in places like offices and airplanes.In order to make tea taste good, you need to remove the dried leaves after brewing.With teabags, you can brew a great cup of tea without a tea strainer.
“Who invented the teabag?”has been a question for a very long time.There are some interesting stories about this question, but the most popular one is of a New York tea businessman, Thomas Sullivan.In 1908, he sent samples of tea to his customers in small silk bags.A few of his customers thought that these bags were to be dipped(浸) in water to brew tea and so they did not empty out the tea.Sullivan did not realize this till the time he started receiving complaints from customers about the orders not being sent in bags.Then he started producing teabags and because of silk being too expensive he later used gauze(纱布).
The popular Sullivan story lacks evidence.Whatever the truth may be, we will be ever so thankful to whoever came up with this wonderful product.Teabags have managed to make our lives so much easier.By the 1920s, teabags had successfully become the new way of drinking.It brought about a great change in our habit of drinking tea.

Tea is the second most popular drink in the world after water.There are different kinds of tea including green tea and black tea.A cup of tea has become a part of our daily lives and our culture.Earlier, tea used to be made in large pots.Hot water was poured over a bunch of tea leaves even to make a single cup.It is believed that this led to waste of tea and that is where the story of the teabag comes in.
It is more convenient and easier to use a teabag than to brew(沏) fresh tea leaves every time you want to make a cup of tea.With the help of teabags, tea was made available in places like offices and airplanes.In order to make tea taste good, you need to remove the dried leaves after brewing.With teabags, you can brew a great cup of tea without a tea strainer.
“Who invented the teabag?”has been a question for a very long time.There are some interesting stories about this question, but the most popular one is of a New York tea businessman, Thomas Sullivan.In 1908, he sent samples of tea to his customers in small silk bags.A few of his customers thought that these bags were to be dipped(浸) in water to brew tea and so they did not empty out the tea.Sullivan did not realize this till the time he started receiving complaints from customers about the orders not being sent in bags.Then he started producing teabags and because of silk being too expensive he later used gauze(纱布).
The popular Sullivan story lacks evidence.Whatever the truth may be, we will be ever so thankful to whoever came up with this wonderful product.Teabags have managed to make our lives so much easier.By the 1920s, teabags had successfully become the new way of drinking.It brought about a great change in our habit of drinking tea.

Although I had wanted to quit smoking, I never made up my mind until New Year’s Day last year. I was having a terrible headache. I knew it was time to quit.
Searching for methods to quit smoking on the Internet is like searching for weight loss tips—there are thousands of different ways that are said to be the best, but not all are right for you.One approach that did draw my interest was apps.Along with cigarettes(烟), my phone was the only other thing I couldn’t leave my apartment without.
There are hundreds of apps for quitting smoking.I downloaded an app called QuitIt because it was said to be good. It was free and didn’t cost much time as some others. You input the amount of cigarettes you smoke, the cost per pack and the time you decide to quit smoking. The app does the maths and then gives you information based on the information given by you. It tracks the amount of time since you decided to quit, the money you’ve saved, and the danger you’ve avoided. The app also includes a number of health goals.
Quitting smoking was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Like most stories of quitting, I did get a little sick and I felt terrible, but the most difficult part was the empty feeling I was left with.Any time I felt like a cigarette, I would open the app and track the progress I had made.If I wanted to smoke while I was on the computer, I’d immediately go to stopsmoking to read a success story, or to offer support to someone else having a harder time than me.
I quit smoking 1 year 2 months and 27 days ago.I did not smoke 6, 771 cigarettes and saved $4, 062.84.

Nelson Mandela was a figure(人物) of international fame, and many details of his life and career were public knowledge. But here are some things you may not have known about him.
In his youth, Mandela enjoyed boxing. Even during the 27 years he spent in prison, he would exercise every morning. “I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it. Boxing is equal. I never did any real fighting after I entered politics. My main interest was in training,” he wrote in his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom. In the Mandela Family Museum, visitors can find the world championship belt given to Mandela by American boxer Sugar Ray Leonard.
When Mandela was nine years old, a teacher at his primary school gave him an English name “Nelson”, which is a custom to give all school children Christian names. Rolihlahla is his original name but it’s not a common name in South Africa. It means “troublemaker”. In South Africa, Mr Mandela was often called by his clan(宗族) name “Madiba”, which South Africans used out of respect.
A fake passport in the name of David Motsamayi was used by Mr Mandela. He had changed his appearance and pretended(假装) to be a driver, a gardener and a chef in order to travel around the country unnoticed by the authorities.
Mr Mandela studied law on and off for 50 years from 1939, failing about half the courses he took. In August 1952, he and Oliver Tambo set up South Africa’s first black law firm in Johannesburg. He persevered(坚持不懈) to finally get a law degree while in prison in 1989.

Although I had wanted to quit smoking, I never made up my mind until New Year’s Day last year. I was having a terrible headache. I knew it was time to quit.
Searching for methods to quit smoking on the Internet is like searching for weight loss tips—there are thousands of different ways that are said to be the best, but not all are right for you.One approach that did draw my interest was apps.Along with cigarettes(烟), my phone was the only other thing I couldn’t leave my apartment without.
There are hundreds of apps for quitting smoking.I downloaded an app called QuitIt because it was said to be good. It was free and didn’t cost much time as some others. You input the amount of cigarettes you smoke, the cost per pack and the time you decide to quit smoking. The app does the maths and then gives you information based on the information given by you. It tracks the amount of time since you decided to quit, the money you’ve saved, and the danger you’ve avoided. The app also includes a number of health goals.
Quitting smoking was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Like most stories of quitting, I did get a little sick and I felt terrible, but the most difficult part was the empty feeling I was left with.Any time I felt like a cigarette, I would open the app and track the progress I had made.If I wanted to smoke while I was on the computer, I’d immediately go to stopsmoking to read a success story, or to offer support to someone else having a harder time than me.
I quit smoking 1 year 2 months and 27 days ago.I did not smoke 6, 771 cigarettes and saved $4, 062.84.

罗本岛(Robben Island)位于南非西开普省桌湾中,是南大西洋上的一座小岛,面积13平方公里,距南非立法首都开普敦11公里。从17世纪开始,罗本岛成为殖民者关押土著反抗运动首领的地方。 罗本岛先后关押过3 000多名黑人运动领袖和积极分子。1964年6月,曼德拉被当时南非白人政府判处终身监禁,开始在罗本岛服刑,直至1982年才被转移到波尔斯摩尔监狱。
THE REST OF ELIAS’ STORY
You cannot imagine①how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from which no one escaped②. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I got there Nelson Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning.He taught us during the lunch breaks③ and the evenings when we should have been④ asleep. We read books under our blankets⑤and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later,Mr Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us.He said they should not be stopped from⑥ studying for their degrees⑦. They were not cleverer than me, but they did⑧pass their exams. So I knew I could get a degree too.That made me feel good about myself⑨.
◆from which在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词a prison, from与从句的谓语动词escaped搭配。escape from表示“从……逃走”。
◆who在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词those of us。
◆when在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词the lunch breaks and the evenings。
◆we could find是省略了关系词that的定语从句,修饰先行词anything。因为此处先行词anything为不定代词,故关系词应用that。
◆made me feel good about myself为“make+宾语+宾补”结构。
When I finished the four years in prison⑩, I went to find a job. Since I was better educated?, I got a job working in an office. However, the police found out?and told my boss that I had been in prison for blowing up government buildings. So I lost my job. I did not work again for twenty years until Mr Mandela and the ANC came to power?in 1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg?for food and help from relatives?or friends.Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on R obben Island. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group. All the terror?and fear?of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatings?and the cruelty?of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward?after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now I am proud to( show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.
◆Since I was better educated为since引导的原因状语从句,since意为“因为,既然,由于”。主句中的working in an office作job的同位语,解释说明job的内容。
◆本句包含not...until...引导的时间状语从句,not...until...意为“直到……才……”。
◆taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island作job的同位语,解释说明job的内容。
◆此处the first time用作连词,引导时间状语从句,意为“第一次……”。
◆said后为that引导的宾语从句,其中after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks为介词短语作时间状语。
伊莱亚斯的故事(续篇)
你无法想象罗本岛这个名字听起来多么令我们恐惧。那是一座任何人都逃不出去的监狱。在那里我度过了我一生中最艰苦的岁月。但是我到那儿时,纳尔逊·曼德拉也在那儿,他帮助了我。曼德拉先生为我们当中那些几乎没有上过学的人开办了学校。他在午休以及晚上我们本来该睡觉的时间教我们。我们躲在毯子下面读书,用可以找到的任何东西制成蜡烛来看清书上的字。我成了一名好学生。我想为我的学位而学习,但不被允许那样做。之后,曼德拉先生让狱卒和我们一起学习。他说他们不该被阻止为学位而学习。他们并不比我聪明,但确实通过了考试。因此我知道我也能拿到学位。那让我感觉不错。
在监狱里服完四年的刑之后,我去找工作。因为我受过比较好的教育,我得到了一份坐办公室的工作。然而警察发现并告诉了我的老板我因炸毁政府大楼而坐过牢。于是我失业了。在曼德拉先生和非国大于1994年掌权之前,我有20年没有再工作。在那段时期,我的妻儿只得从亲戚朋友那儿讨饭吃,并乞求帮助。幸亏曼德拉先生还记得我,并给了我一份工作,让我带旅行团去参观罗本岛上(我待过的)那座旧监狱。第一次给旅行团讲解时,我感觉很糟。我想起了那时所有的恐怖和害怕。我记起了狱卒的殴打和暴行以及我那些死去的朋友。我觉得我做不了这份工作,但是我的家人鼓励我。他们说,从南非新政府得到的这份工作和薪水是我毕生为争取黑人的平等权利而斗争所得到的回报。所以现在我很骄傲地给参观者介绍有关监狱的情况,因为我曾为争取我们的人民在自己的土地上的自由而出过力。

In the state of Maryland, a girl was born into slavery in 1820.Her parents named her Araminta Harriet Ross.She was to become Harriet Tubman.She was one of about one million Africans in slavery in the United States.
From the age of five, Harriet Tubman’s owners made her work very hard.First, she cared for the child of the farm owner.Then, she did hard work on large farms.
Although she could not read or write, Tubman learned from her parents to do what was right.Through her whole life, Tubman put herself in danger to help other people.
One such act changed her life when she was 13 years old.Because she helped another slave, her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head.She was badly hurt.For the rest of her life, Tubman’s head wound caused problems for her.
When she was about 25 years old, Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman.But she was still a slave.Her life was so difficult that she decided to escape.She travelled for 145 kilometres, and finally crossed into the North.Tubman became a free woman.
But Tubman could not leave her family enslaved in the South.So she travelled back to help them escape as well.Then, she made many trips and guided about 300 slaves to freedom.Tubman also fought bravely in the American Civil War and in 1865 slavery was not allowed in the U.S.
Harriet Tubman died in 1913.Her memory brings hope to many people—especially to those who fight for justice (正义).She encouraged people to never give up.
“If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”

关系副词
先行词
功能
when
表示时间的名词
时间状语
where
表示地点的名词
地点状语
why
reason
原因状语
1.关系副词when引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示时间的名词,关系词在从句中作时间状语。
◆I still remember the time when I first travelled by plane. 我仍然记得我第一次坐飞机旅行的时候。
◆We will never forget the year when the 29th Olympic Games were held in Beijing. 我们将永远不会忘记第29届奥运会在北京举办的那一年。
2.关系副词where引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示地点或抽象地点的名词,关系词在从句中作地点状语。
◆I’d like to live in the house where there is plenty of sunshine. 我喜欢住在那个阳光充足的房子里。
◆The house where I lived ten years ago has been pulled down. 我十年前居住的那所房子已经被拆了。

我不知道昨天他为什么没向他的好朋友求助。
◆Can you tell me the reason why you didn’t come to his birthday party?
你能告诉我你没参加他的生日宴会的原因吗?
表示时间、地点及原因的名词作先行词时,定语从句可用关系代词引导,也可用关系副词引导。若先行词在定语从句中作状语,应用关系副词;若先行词在定语从句中作主语或宾语,则应用关系代词。试比较:
◆Do you remember the days when we chatted with each other all night? 你还记得我们整夜聊天的那些日子吗?(when在从句中作状语)
◆Do you remember the days that/which we spent together on the farm? 你还记得我们在农场一起度过的那些日子吗?(that或which在从句中作spent的宾语)
◆The reason why/for which you failed was that you had not followed your mother’s advice.
你失败的原因是你没有听你母亲的忠告。(定语从句中缺少状语,所以用why或for which, why作原因状语)
◆I won’t listen to the reason that/which you have given us.
我坚决不听你给我们提供的那个理由。(定语从句中缺少宾语,所以用that/which,不用why)
【即时演练1】——对比填空:that, which, when, where, why

当关系代词在定语从句中作介词的宾语时,我们通常用“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句。如果指“人”,用“介词+whom”;如果指“物”,用“介词+which”;关系代词有时也用whose(作定语)。
选用介词的依据:
1.根据定语从句中谓语动词的搭配习惯(即固定短语)。
◆Yesterday we visited the West Lake for which Hangzhou is famous. 昨天我们参观了西湖,杭州因其而出名。(be famous for因……而出名)
2.根据先行词的搭配习惯(约定俗成,不一定是短语)。
◆This is the camera with which he often takes photos.
这就是他经常用来拍照的相机。(with camera用照相机)
◆The old woman with whom you talked just now is a famous artist. 刚才和你们说话的老太太是一个著名的艺术家。(talk with sb.和某人谈话)

◆I have ten books, half of which were written by Mo Yan.
我有10本书,其中一半是莫言写的。
◆The old man has two sons, both of whom are lawyers.
这位老人有两个儿子,他们都是律师。
在定语从句中,有一些含介词的动词短语不可拆开使用,如look after, look for等不能把介词移至which或whom之前。
◆The babies whom the nurses are looking after are very healthy.(正)
◆The babies after whom the nurses are looking are very healthy.(误)

A
Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honoured women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed(雇用) by the government.
Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.
When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognised that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learnt how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.
After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night—her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”
In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learnt about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organisation for the next 23 years. Her last field mission(使命) as leader of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.
Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.

She was born to wealth and power in a time when money and politics were left to the men.Later,as the publisher of The Washington Post(华盛顿邮报), Katharine Graham became one of America’s most powerful women.
Katharine loved journalism and got a job after college at The Washington Post, the newspaper her father bought in 1933.At the Post, Katharine met Phil Graham, a lawyer who became her husband.Then, in 1945, Katharine’s father chose Phil to take over his paper.Katharine didn’t object(反对) and stayed at home as a wife and mother.
While Phil succeeded in his career, he also suffered from severe depression.When Phil committed suicide(自杀), the 46-year-old Katharine found herself thrown into a new job, that of newspaper publisher. But determined to save the family paper for her children, Katharine met the challenge of running the Post, working endlessly to prove herself to her critics(批评家), and becoming the very famous woman of Washington.
In 1971, Katharine ordered the Post to print a copy of the Pentagon Papers(五角大楼文件), the top-secret papers revealing the truth about the Vietnam War. What’s more,her brave decision and support for her journalists prepared the Post to break the most important political story in modern history: Watergate(水门事件).Katharine managed to control the most disordered situations when it was reported, all the time insisting the news stories be true and fair. Watergate made The Washington Post an internationally famous paper and Katharine was considered as the most powerful woman in America.

A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night—her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”
In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learnt about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organisation for the next 23 years. Her last field mission(使命) as leader of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.
Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.

She was born to wealth and power in a time when money and politics were left to the men.Later,as the publisher of The Washington Post(华盛顿邮报), Katharine Graham became one of America’s most powerful women.
Katharine loved journalism and got a job after college at The Washington Post, the newspaper her father bought in 1933.At the Post, Katharine met Phil Graham, a lawyer who became her husband.Then, in 1945, Katharine’s father chose Phil to take over his paper.Katharine didn’t object(反对) and stayed at home as a wife and mother.
While Phil succeeded in his career, he also suffered from severe depression.When Phil committed suicide(自杀), the 46-year-old Katharine found herself thrown into a new job, that of newspaper publisher. But determined to save the family paper for her children, Katharine met the challenge of running the Post, working endlessly to prove herself to her critics(批评家), and becoming the very famous woman of Washington.
In 1971, Katharine ordered the Post to print a copy of the Pentagon Papers(五角大楼文件), the top-secret papers revealing the truth about the Vietnam War. What’s more,her brave decision and support for her journalists prepared the Post to break the most important political story in modern history: Watergate(水门事件).Katharine managed to control the most disordered situations when it was reported, all the time insisting the news stories be true and fair. Watergate made The Washington Post an internationally famous paper and Katharine was considered as the most powerful woman in America.

After John was out of work, he lost heart and began to steal but was caught the first time he stole. As a result, he was sentenced to three years in prison, so he turned to a friend for help. As a matter of fact, his friend came to power last year.His friend had ever promised that he could turn to him when he was in trouble, but his friend said that everyone was equal before law when he begged him for help. Only then did he realize that nobody could help him. This was the first time that he had felt regretful.After being released from prison, he devoted himself to working in a small company, whose boss helped him set up his own company in reward for him. In my opinion, only by working hard can you pay off.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
He has a bright idea.
Avery Hairston is lighting up people’s lives.The 15-year-old from New York City created an organization called RelightNY.It helps people who have difficulty in paying their electricity bills by giving them special light bulbs(灯泡), which cut long-term electricity costs.They are also better for the environment than common bulbs.“People who can afford the bulbs, which are a bit expensive, should buy them,”Avery insists.
He is very interested in recycling(回收再利用).
Eli Kahn, 15, started Cartridges for a Cure to raise money for children’s cancer(癌症) research by recycling empty ink cartridges(墨盒).Eli has raised $82,000 for Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. “With a little time and work, anything can get bigger,” Eli says.
She makes water safe to drink.
Kelydra Welcker, 17, has been trying her best to make drinking water safer. She invented an easy way to get the chemical C8 out of her West Virginia town’s water supply(供应).C8 went into the water from a nearby industrial factory. “Clean water should be given,” Kelydra explains. “We all should have it.”
She tries to stop deforestation.
Wangari Maathai, from Kenya, Africa, has been working for many years to save the forests. In 1977, she started a movement in Kenya to help stop deforestation (the cutting or burning down of all the trees). The program has planted more than 30 million trees in Africa. Her work brought her the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. In 2006, she helped start the Billion Tree Campaign. The United Nations program encouraged people to plant trees in their neighborhood, with the goal of planting one billion trees worldwide that year. So many people who wanted to go green joined the program, and more than nine million trees have been planted.Maathai says, “This is something anybody can do.”

After failing an important exam in my life and missing the opportunity to be an exchange(交换) student in a university of my dreams, I kept trying to avoid Facebook so I wouldn’t have to see the information about it. It was after this that I slowly quit using Facebook.
Facebook made me feel uneasy, sad and like a failure. When I went online, it seemed that everyone was in Australia or Thailand. And if they weren’t travelling, they were getting married or landing great jobs. I felt like everyone was living the dream and I was still at home with my parents, with my student loan(贷款) hanging over me.
I also felt that if I wasn’t eating at restaurants or posting photos from nights out, people would think I wasn’t living. I remember that a friend said to me once, “Yeah, but you’re still going out having fun, and I’ve seen on Facebook.” I tried to present myself as always having a great time. If what I posted on social media didn’t get more than five likes, I’d delete(删除) it.
My life has changed for the better since I stopped using social media. I now enjoy catching up with my friends. When they tell me new plans, my response isn’t just, “Yeah, I saw it on Facebook.” It makes me realize who my real friends are and how social media takes the joy out of sharing news with people.I also feel less uneasy and less of a failure.
I’m planning to visit a friend in Australia next month. My mom and a couple of other friends want me to go back on Facebook to share my pictures. I’d really prefer not to, though.

Bats(蝙蝠) often appear in movies and literature as frightening creatures. The animals have even been linked in some cultures to vampires(吸血鬼), seeking to attack humans and drink the blood of them. In reality, bats are usually not harmful to people. They can do good things for people and the environment. For example, bats eat a lot of different insects that can harm our environment. They can also spread seeds.
But a serious disease is currently threatening the bat population in many parts of the United States. The disease is called white-nose syndrome(白鼻综合征). It has killed more than 6 million bats across the United States since 2007.Bats catch the disease through their skin while resting on the walls of mountain caves. Biologist Lindsay Rohrbaugh says that the disease spreads quickly and can lead to strange behavior in bats.
In Washington D.C.,researchers are studying how white-nose syndrome is affecting the area’s nine species of bats. Some scientists are trapping bats on an island in the middle of the Anacostia River to test for the disease. The group is receiving money to help carry out their studies. Marco Carvello is with the Washington D.C. Government’s Department of Energy and Environment. “Scientists are concerned that the disease is continuing to greatly reduce the bat population. The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats,there is an increase of many insects. And that’s only going to get worse over time if some ways can’t be found,” he said.
One theory is that some bats are no longer returning to caves to avoid getting sick.This means more of them are now making their way into cities, where contact with humans is more likely. Experts advise people to keep away from bats in case they have the disease. And animal control officers should safely remove the animals.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。美国部分地区的蝙蝠正遭受白鼻综合征的危害而数量减少,这也将严重影响到人类。作者呼吁应采取措施控制该疾病的传染速度。
28.According to Paragraph 1, people tend to think bats ________.

31.What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?
A.A bat species is decreasing in number.
B.We have found ways to protect bats.
C.A disease causes many deaths of bats.

Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night.They aren’t able to do their best unless they sleep well. Most experts agree that the proper number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember.However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and sometimes this affects(影响) your schoolwork.
I read an article in a teacher’s magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results suggested that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growing number wake up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack(点心) but because of FOMO—the fear of missing out!
According to the article, schoolchildren suffer because of an increasing trend(趋势) to wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a message or chance to take part in a discussion, teens wake up at all times of the night to go online and join up with social groups. All this happens when they should be sound asleep.
The report gives some worrying numbers. 23% of 12-to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason. As a result, one in three students are constantly tired and unable to do well at school.
So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave and turn off your phones and computers at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning.I give you my word that you won’t have missed anything important.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了青少年半夜醒来使用社交媒体的现象,并就此发表了看法。
32.What is the new trend among teenagers?
A.They get up too early in the morning.
B.They have difficulty in falling asleep at night.
C.They wake up at night to get something to eat.
D.They wake up in the middle of the night to go online.
D 解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的schoolchildren suffer...check social media可知,这个趋势是指青少年半夜醒来上网使用社交媒体。
33.How did the author introduce the new trend?
A.By using examples.
B.By asking questions.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By showing research findings.
D 解析:推理判断题。作者在第二至四段中通过引用一篇文章中的研究发现,介绍了在青少年中出现的半夜醒来上网的趋势。
34.What is FOMO?
A.A fear of going online.
B.A fear of losing touch on social media.
C.A need to go out all the time.
D.A need to use the latest technology.
B 解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的a growing number wake up...because of FOMO—the fear of missing out可知,FOMO是许多青少年半夜醒来的原因;而接下来第三段对这个原因进行了详细的阐述,因此FOMO的所指可以在第三段中找到(Afraid of missing a message or chance to take part in a discussion),即害怕错过社交媒体消息或错失参与网上讨论的机会。
35.What can we learn about the author’s opinion on the new trend?
A.It’s worrying.
B.It’s encouraging.
C.It’s hard to understand.
D.It’s difficult to change.
A 解析:推理判断题。由作者在引述研究结果时所用的表达(如第二段中的Worryingly,第四段中的worrying numbers)以及最后一段中作者提出在夜间关闭上网设备的建议可推断,对于青少年半夜醒来使用社交媒体这个趋势,作者忧心忡忡。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. Here are some reasons for it.
First of all, the Finnish government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool. Compulsory education(义务教育) usually begins when children are seven years old. 36.________ When they are not with the students, they spend their time working on lesson preparation.
37.________And Finland selects its teachers very carefully as it only takes the best to educate its youth. For example, only talented students go on to a university and receive a master’s degree in education.
Although schools in Finland are small, teachers are trying to respond to the needs of each student. In some cases, they know every student in their school. As a matter of fact, most of the students get extra help from their teachers in their elementary school years. 38.________
All Finnish children, whether they come from a rich or poor family, have the same opportunities in education. 39.________Because two thirds of Finnish students who finish compulsory education will move on to higher education.
Finland’s school system was once influenced by the Soviet Union. At that time, most students left school after six years of learning. 40.________However, in the middle of the 1960s, the Finnish government realized the need to change their education system if they wanted to be interna- tionally competitive.
A.And the teachers are willing to help them.
B.Teaching in Finland is a highly admired job.
C.Only the wealthy ones got a better education.
D.Students learn Swedish as their second language.
E.Finland’s schools are supported by the government.
F.Students have few differences in their educational choices.
G.Teachers work with their students in school as much as possible.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了芬兰教育制度成功的几个原因。
36.G 解析:此空设于段中,与下文存在逻辑上的指代关系,下文When they are中的they指代的是该句中提到的Teachers。这两句话的意思为:老师在学校的时候尽可能地跟学生在一起,当他们没有跟学生在一起的时候,他们通常在备课。
37.B 解析:此空设于段首,是本段的主题句。本段主要是围绕“芬兰学校的教师”展开的。根据语境可知此句意为:在芬兰,教书是一个很令人们羡慕的职业。
38.A 解析:此空设于段尾,对本段讲述的内容进行总结。本段主要讲的是在芬兰学校虽然小,但是老师基本了解每一位学生,并且乐意给他们提供帮助。
39.F 解析:此空设于段中,与下文存在因果关系。根据语境可知,下文意为:三分之二的芬兰学生完成义务教育后都会去接受更高层次的教育,所以可推测前一句是讲学生们在学业选择方面的差异很小。
40.C 解析:此空设于段中,起承上启下的作用。前一句讲在芬兰学校体制效仿苏联的时候,很多学生上了六年学后就离开学校了,此句接着说只有家庭富裕的孩子能得到更好的教育,most students和Only the wealthy ones形成对比。

One possible version:
Dear Mr Brown:
I’ve learnt that two hosts are needed for the coming English speech contest. I would like very much to be one of them.
I’m Li Hua, a handsome boy of about 180cm in height. As a hard-working student, I have a good command of English, especially spoken English.I have won the first prize in many English speech contests. What’s more, I have been the host of English parties since I entered junior high school. It gave me much experience in hosting big events. So I believe I can do the job perfectly.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
