　　Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born on July 19, 1918, near Umtata, Transkei．A folk hero for South African blacks, Nelson Mandela led the armed struggle against their homeland’s segregationist(隔离主义者)policies．Disappointed by the failure of nonviolent(非暴力)resistance(抵抗), he was an outlaw for 18 months often wearing disguises(伪装)to outwit(以智取生)the authorities(当局)．Finally he became a world-wide symbol of victory against apartheid(种族隔离)when he was freed from a life sentence in prison．

　　To seek a political career, he refused to succeed(继承)his father as chief of the Tembutribe．He studied law．In 1944 he joined the African National Congress(ANC)and helped found its influential(具有影响力的)Youth League．His first prison sentence was for the ANC’s 1952 Defiance Against Unjust Law Campaign．

　　After the 1960 massacre(屠杀)of thousands of unarmed pass-law protesters, Mandela became a fugitive(逃亡者)．The security police caught him in 1962．In 1964 he was convicted(定罪)of acts of sabotage(破坏行为)while leading an underground wing of the banned(禁止的)ANC．As his legend grew, a campaign for his freedom intensified(加强)in the 1980s．Mandela was set free on February 11, 1990．He shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with South Africa’s President, F．W．de Klerk．

Britons stranded（搁浅）at sea or in flooded homes could find a real-life prince riding to their rescue. Prince William announced on Monday that he is to train to be a full-time pilot with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force (SARF).

William, who is currently a Lieutenant（中尉）in the Army's Household Cavalry Regiment（皇家骑兵团）, will transfer to the RAF and begin an 18-month training course in January 2009.

If successful, he will become a fully operational Search and Rescue pilot in 2010, flying Sea King helicopters at one of the six SARF units based in Britain.

"The time I spent with the RAF earlier this year made me realize how much I love flying," the prince, who spent two weeks with a SARF team while on work experience in 2005, said in a statement.

"Joining Search and Rescue is a perfect opportunity for me to serve in the Forces operationally, while contributing to a vital part of the country's Emergency Services."

It means he will follow a similar career to that of his uncle, Prince Andrew, who was a Sea King helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands war.

The Search and Rescue teams' main duty is to recover RAF personnel but in peacetime they mainly respond to civilian emergencies, dealing with more than 1,000 calls a year.

The units deal with incidents ranging from helping those trapped by sudden major floods to rescuing people lost while out walking on hills.

William, who has spent the last year on secondment（借调）to the various branches of the military to prepare for his future role as head of the armed forces, received his RAF wings （飞行勋章）following a four-month stint（持续的工作）with the service earlier this year.

However, his time with the RAF was clouded when the Defense Ministry was forced to fend off criticism for allowing the prince to fly military helicopters to a bachelor party for his cousin and to the family home of his girlfriend Kate Middleton.

61. Prince William wanted to be a full-time pilot because _____.

A. he liked flying

B. he would like to do something in the country’s Emergency Services

C. many Britons were in danger at sea waiting for rescue

D. he had much experience in flying

62. According to the passage, _____.

A. the Falklands war broke out in 2005

B. Prince William served in the Army’s Household Cavalry Regiment in 1982

C. Prince Andrew is serving in SARF now w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m

D. William would finish his training course in June 2010

63. It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A. the RAF is an army that rescues its soldiers during wartime

B. either Andrew or William is interested in flying

C. there are many floods happening in Britain

D. the prince saving the people in danger is no longer fairy tale

64. The author’s opinion on William’s joining RAF is ______.

A. enthusiastic B. doubtful C. negative D. pessimistic

65. What is the purpose of the author by mentioning what the prince had done before in the last paragraph?

A. The author wants to say that Prince William pays much attention to his family and friends

B. The author suggests that the Defense Ministry was criticized when William flew for his private business

C. William had a hard time when he went against his leaders

D. The author has the worry that Prince William is likely to get the Defense Ministry into trouble again.
