Nelson Mandela

  Nelson Mandela is one of the great political leaders of our time.His lifelong efforts to the fight against racial(种族)oppression(压迫)in his country won him the admiration(钦慕)of millions worldwide, as well as the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.As the leader of South Africa’s anti-partheid(反种族隔离)movement, Mandela was a key player in helping to move his country toward multiracial government(多民族政府)and majority rule.

  Mandela’s long, hard struggle is a victory of dignity(尊严)and hope.He’s a man of true courage.If determination and patience were considered talents, Mandela would win hands down in any sort of competition.

  accomplishments(成就)& fame(名誉)

  Nelson Mandela’s greatest accomplishments were his role in ending apartheid, and becoming South Africa’s first elected black president.He has been the recipient(收件人)of dozens upon dozens of awards, prizes and honors from countless associations and organizations, but perhaps none more prestigious(声望很高)than the Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with former South African President Frederik W.de Klerk, in 1993.

  He has been awarded several other major peace prizes, such as the UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)Peace Prize in 1991(also shared with F.W.de Klerk); the Africa Peace Award in 1995 and the International Gandhi Peace Prize in 2002.

  Mr.Mandela also received dozens of honorary degrees(名誉学位)from universities the world over, including the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Glasgow, London, Nottingham, and Oxford, as well as an Honorary Doctorate from the Sorbonne University in Paris(all in July 1996), and Harvard Business School’s Statesman of the Year Award in 1995-to name but a few.He has also been presented(赠送)with the key to cities such as Rome, Rio de Janeiro, London, Dublin, and Sydney, Australia(where he became the first person ever to receive the Freedom of that city).In July of 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States highest civilian(公民)award.

  Model

  There’s something admirable about having been a leader fighting for a people’s freedom and equality in an unjust society.Mandela has become a worldwide symbol(楷模)of the struggle of the oppressed(被压迫者)over the oppressor.He has been celebrated in song by artists the world over, in many different languages.One entitled “Nelson Mandela”was recorded by British 2-Tone group The Special A.K.A(formerly The Specials); making the top 10 in the UK and a few other European nations in 1984.

  Personal style

  As a president, Mandela sported the typical garb(服饰)of high-ranking government officials: expensive, well-tailored(缝制精致的)suits.Now retired(退役)from public life, Mandela the elder statesman dresses in an ordinary way.

  He attends many activities, often where he is the guest of honor, in bright, colorfully patterned(典型的)traditional African robes(长袍)or shirts all the better for getting down when the music begins.

(1)

Mandel was not only admired(钦慕)for his long fight against ________but also for ________.

(2)

How many peaceful prize has Mandela got?He has got________ in 1991, ________in 1995 and ________ in 2002.

听第11段独白,回答第18~20题。

B.Taking care of our health.

C.Collecting information.

19.What should we do to remember someone’s name?

A.Write it down on a piece of paper.

C.Remember his or her last name.

20.What does the speaker suggest to us?

A.Having a rest for twenty minutes.

B.Taking some Vitamins B1 and B2.

C.Doing sports during the break.

听力原文:(Text 11)

  W:There are many ways in which the memory can be improved.In fact, I believe we all have the ability to remember up to six times more than we do.

  A lot of people find that visualizing information is very helpful.For example, if you are trying to remember a telephone number, imagine it written down on a piece of paper.

  Remembering people’s names is a problem for a lot of people.I recommend that when you are introduced to someone you concentrate on his or her first name.It probably won’t offend anyone if you have to say, “What was your last name again, Sarah?” but Sarah might be upset if you forget her first name.

  Of course, regular breaks are important and it’s better not to work for long periods without taking one, stopping for rest about every twenty minutes is best.

  Finally, take care of yourself physically.Avoid substances like coffee, alcohol or drugs, because they dull the mind.And don’t forget your vitamins-B1 and B2 are particularly good for the memory.

注意:每个空格只填1个单词。
     Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a
great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and
yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is
that we do not focus on our present situation.
     Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means
of reaching our final destination. We don't take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.
     Let's use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the
manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will
watch others achieve our goal instead.
     What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get
to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We
can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have
the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and
supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.
     So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we
are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves
the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true:
"Rome wasn't built in a day.", "Patience is a virtue", and so on.
Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very
best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life
every day.

【2011·浙江省第二次五校联考】

Where is it possible to drive from Rome to Moscow, Madrid, Paris, Vienna, and Stockholm without going to Europe? The answer is in the state of Maine!

Throughout the United States there are many towns and cities that have been named after not only European cities but other countries as well, such as China, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Just how many New World place names are recycled from the Old World names has never been tallied, but one researcher found forty-one Londons, fifty-six Berlins, twenty-four Dublins, thirty-two Athenses, and twenty-seven Moscows, among others!

Reasons for European place names differ. Some were in memory of settlers’ former homes, others in honor of historic events. Founded in 1818 by John Coffee, Robert Beaty, John D. Carroll, and John Read, Athens is one of the oldest incorporated cities in the State of Alabama. The town was first called Athenson, and the name was then shortened to Athens, after the ancient city in Greece. More interestingly, some names were given by mistake. For instance, the people of Moscow, Kansas, wanted to their city to follow the name of the explorer Moscoso. They shortened his name to Mosco, and an official in Washington, thinking the Kansans couldn't spell, added a ‘W’.

41. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. In the state of Maine there are many different European cities.

B. You can drive to many European cities from the state of Maine.

C. All the settlers in the state of Maine came from Europe.

D. The state of Maine has many cities named after European cities.

42. The word “tallied” (Line 4, Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to ________.

A. built              B. believed                   C. added                      D. visited

43. What might have made the official in Washington change Mosco into Moscow?

A. Moscow was a world-famous city name.

B. He thought Moscoso would prefer Moscow.

C. He believed Moscow was a far better name.

D. He couldn't spell very well and made a mistake.

44. The best title for the passage is ________.

A. The Story of Moscow, Kansas

B. American Cities and Their Names

C. Interesting Names

D. Old World Place Names in America
