10．Heads of states from around the world gathered in South Africa on Dec.10，2013 for a farewell to Nelson Mandela，the respected statesman against racial inequality．
Born in 1918 in a country where blacks and other non-whites were racially separated in every manner possible：education，hospital，public transport，even beaches，Mandela fought a lifelong battle for freedom and justice for all．
In the 1940s，Mandela and the Youth League of the Africa National Congress（ANC非国大青年联盟） were active to help organize strikes and demonstrations（示威） against the country's system of racial inequality-Some blacks were forcibly removed from homes and they had no right to vote．As a result，he and several other ANC leaders were arrested in 1963．
Despite facing the death penalty，Mandela told the court that his action had been for the ideal of a free，democratic （民主的） society with equal opportunity for all races．"It is an ideal for which I am prepared to die，"Mandela said at the time．Later he and his fellows escaped the death and were sentenced to life in prison，where he spent the next 27 years．Even in prison，he never stopped fighting．
On Feb.11，1990，having endured great hardships，and after nearly two years of secret negotiation，Mandela walked to freedom through the gate of Cape Town's Victor Verster prison，watched by cameras and broadcast live around the world．Four years later，he was again in the international spotlight when he celebrated the outcome of South Africa's first democratic elections，becoming the country's first black president．
The nation，thanks in large part to Mandela，is no longer a victim of racial inequality but is able to participate freely in the global economy，sports and other areas．www．sdzxlm．com

9．It was 3：45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken．After six months of arguing and final 16hours of hot parliamentary debates，Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die．The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15to 10．Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up，half a world away，by John Hofsess，executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada．He sent it on by way of the group's online service，Death NET．Says Hofsess："We posted bulletins all day long，because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia．It's world history．"
The full import may take a while to sink in．The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications．Some have breathed sighs of relief，others，including churches，right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association，bitterly attacked the bill and the hurry of its passage．But the tide is unlikely to turn back．In Australia-where an aging population，life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia （安乐死）．In the US and Canada，where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength，observers are waiting for the dominoes （多米诺骨牌） to start falling．
Under the new Northern Territory law，an adult patient can request death-probably by a deadly injection or pill-to put an end to suffering．The patient must be diagnosed （诊断） as Terminally Ill by two doctors．After a"cooling off"period of seven days，the patient can sign a certificate of request．After 48hours the wish for death can be met．For Lloyd Nickson，a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer，the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering：a terrifying death from his breathing condition．"I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view，but what I was afraid of was how I'd go，because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks，"he says．

73．Which of the following has the similar meaning to"But the tide is unlikely to turn back．"？D．
A．What happened in Australia can change world history．
B．It is impossible to pass the NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law．
C．Doctors are allowed by law to take the lives of the ill patients．
D．That the Law has been passed probably can't be changed．
74．From the second paragraph we learn thatD．
A．the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries
B．physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia
C．changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hurry passage of the law
D．it takes time to realize the significance of the law's passage
75．By saying"observers are waiting for the dominoes to startfalling"，the author meansB．
A．observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia
B．similar bills are likely to be passed in the U．S．，Canada and other countries
C．observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes
D．the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop
76．When Lloyd Nickson dies，he willA．
A．face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia
B．experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient
C．have an intense fear of terrible suffering

I like riding my bike．Though it is not very new，but it is my best friend．I find very convenient to go anywhere with a bike．Riding gives me not only exercises but also pleasure．I use my bike almost in summer when the weather is warm and dry．It can be very pleasant in winter when it is cold and rain is pour down．It can also be very dangerous．Therefore，I am very carefully on my bike．In fact，accidents are not the only problem．Once I went to bookstore on my mother's bike to buy some books and come out to find the bike missed．Now I have two strong locks．

5．NEW YORK----Family members gathered on Wednesday evening for the funeral of Eric Garner，who died shortly after police put him in a banned chokehold as they arrested him in Staten Island of New York，where the death has cause anger and a promise to reform police training．Garner's wife，Esaw Garner，entered the Bethel Baptist Church in Brooklyn，supported by two young boys，looking upset and exhausted．After her followed six children of the family．Garner's dying moments on a Staten Island sidewalk last Thursday were recorded on by bystanders．Mayor Bill Blasio，who was elected partly because he once promised to mend the worn relations between New York police and the local ethnic minorities，has called the death a tragedy．
In the videos，Garner，who was black，can be seen arguing with several police officers arresting him suspected of selling untaxed cigarettes outside a beauty parlor．
Moments later，he was down on the sidewalk with an officer's arm around his neck，pleading（恳求） repeatedly that he couldn't breathe．After he fell down，at least seven minutes passed without any apparent attempts at medical help．
The Staten Island district lawyer and the police department's internal affairs are investigating Garner's death．
The city's police have been banned from using the chokehold for more than 20years because it can be deadly，particularly when used on someone who is overweight，as Garner was．
Two of the police officers involved have been put on desk duty and four emergency response workers were suspended without pay．Actually，a complete check of police training was started on Tuesday，focusing on the proper use of force．

3．One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but．good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers．Indeed，a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry．Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere，and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the'last paradise（天堂） on earth'．
  However，the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy．In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays，over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal．
  Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most．In recent years，Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education．Its forests，full of wildlife and rare flowers，were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise．In fact，the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land．Ancient tacks became major routes for the walkers，with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants．
  Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism．The people as well rapidly feel its effects．Farmland makes way for hotels，roads and airports； the old way of life goes．The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization； he is no longer his own master．Once it was his back that bore the pain； now it is his smile that is exploited．No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land．
  Thankfully，the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers．The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support form tourist companies．At the same time，tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people．
  The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit．Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies．Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies．If not，in a few years'time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed．

71．What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1？C．
A．The Pacific island is a paradise．B．The Pacific island is worth visiting．
C．The advertisement is not convincing．D．The advertisement is not impressive
72．The example of Nepal is used to suggestD．
A．its natural resources are untouched．B．its forests are exploited for farmland
C．it develops well in health and education．D．it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists．
73．What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4？B．
A．They are happy to work their own lands．
B．They have to please the tourists for a living．
C．They have to struggle for their independence．
D．They are proud of working in multi-national organizations．
74．Which of the following determines the future of tourism？D．
A．The number of touristsB．The improvement of services．
C．The promotion of new products．D．The management of tourism
75．The author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry isC．
A．optimisticB．doubtfulC．objectiveD．negative．
2．Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel．And he surely deserves additional praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism．
I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War．H．B．Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is only the most famous example．These early stories dealt directly with slavery．With minor exceptions，Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely．He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story．
Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race．Consider the most controversial，at least today，of Twain's novels，Adventures of Huckleberry Finn．Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twain's most widely read tale．Once upon a time，people hated the book because it struckthemas rude．Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel"trash and suitable only for the slums（贫民窟）．"More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurrences of the word nigger．（The term Nigger Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it．）
But the attacks were and are silly-and miss the point．The novel is strongly anti-slavery．Jim's search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic．As J．Chadwick has pointed out，the character of Jim was a first in American fiction-a recognition that the slave had two personalities，"the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim，the father and the man．"
There is much more．Twain's mystery novel Pudd'nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day．Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior （低等的） to whites，especially in intelligence，Twain's tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth．A slave gave birth to her master's baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South，switched him for the master's baby by his wife．The slave's light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class．The master's wife's baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave．
The point was difficult to miss：nurture （养育），not nature，was the key to social status．The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice-manner of speech，for example-were，to Twain，indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims．
Twain's racial tone was not perfect．One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography （自传） about how much he loved what were called"nigger shows"in his youth-mostly with white men performing in black-face-and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them．Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality．His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not．
 Was Twain a racist？Asking the questioning the 21 stcentury is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln．If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the"wisdom"of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error．Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white，fought and won a war to free him．And Twain，raised in a slave state，briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century．

65．How do Twain's novels on slavery differ from Stowes？B
A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism．
B．Twain's attack on racism was much less open．
C．Twain's themes seemed to agree with plots．

A．Jim's search for his family was described in detail．
B．The slave's voice was first heard in American novels．
C．Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture．
D．Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent．

For nearly 30years Mumbet served the Ashley family．One day，Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade．Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead．Furious，she left the house and refused to come back．When the Ashleys tried to make her return，Mumbet consulted a lawyer，Theodore Sedgewick．With his help，Mumbet sued（起诉） for her freedom．
While serving the Ashleys，Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution．If the constitution said that all people were free and equal，then she thought it should apply to her．Eventually，Mumbet won her freedom----the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution．
Strangely enough，after the trial，the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee．She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick．Mumbet died in 1829，but her legacy lived on in her many descendants（后裔）．One of her great-grandchildren was W．E．B．Du Bois，one of the founder of the NAACP，and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights．
Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried．It reads，in part："She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years．She could neither read nor write，yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal．"
