Nelson Mandela was a figure of international fame, and many details of his life and career were public knowledge. But here are four things you may not have known about the late South African leader.
1. He was a boxing(拳击) fan.
In his youth, Nelson Mandela enjoyed boxing and long-distance running. 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. I was curious by how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat, how one paced oneself over a match," he wrote in his autobiography（自传） Long Walk to Freedom.
2. His original name was not Nelson.
Rolihlahla Mandela was nine years old when a teacher at the primary Methodist school where he was studying in Qunu, South Africa, gave him an English name “Nelson” according to the custom to give all school children Christian names.
3. He forgot his glasses when he was released from prison.
Mr. Mandela's release on 11 February 1990 followed years of political pressure against apartheid (种族隔离). Mr. Mandela's reading glasses stayed behind in prison. Mr. Mandela and his then-wife Winnie were taken to the centre of Cape Town to address a huge and exciting crowd. But when he pulled out the text of his speech, he realized he had forgotten his glasses and had to borrow Winnie's.
4. He had his own law company, but it took him years to get a law degree.
Mr. Mandela studied law on and off for 50 years from 1939, failing about half the courses he took. A two-year diploma(学位证书) in law on top of his university degree allowed him to practice, and in August 1952, he and Oliver Tambo set up South Africa's first black law firm, Mandela and Tambo, in Johannesburg. He kept on studying hard to finally secure a law degree while in prison in 1989.
24. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Nelson Mandela’s life in the prison.
B. The achievements of Nelson Mandela.
C. Nelson Mandela’s hobbies and career.
D. Unknown things about Nelson Mandela.
25. Why did Nelson Mandela love boxing?
A. Because he wanted to be a boxer.
B. Because he enjoyed the violence of boxing.
C. Because he appreciated the strategy in boxing.
D. Because he had nothing else to do in the prison.
26. What happened to Mandela when he was about to give the speech?
A. He broke his glasses into pieces.
B. He had to use his wife’s glasses.
C. He left his own glasses at home.
D. His wife wanted to borrow his glasses.
27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Nelson Mandela was not his original name.
B. Nelson Mandela was the name given by his teacher.
C. Nelson Mandela had been studying the law nonstop for 50 years.
D. Nelson Mandela had started his own law firm before he got a law degree.
C
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to record his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered(征服) something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
28. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
29. Traveling alone is challenging because .
A. it will finally build your character
B. you have to make things on your own
C. you depend on yourself whatever happens
D. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
30. What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A. He started traveling at an early age.
B. He was once shot in the arm.
C. His website inspires others a lot.
D. He used to work as a salesman.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Unaccompanied
C. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and Far
D
Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
32. Parents in China, according to this passage, ____________.
A. are too strict with their children
B. are too rich to educate their children
C. have some problems in educating their children correctly
D. are too poor to educate their children
33. Generally speaking, what most parents fail to realize is ______.
A. that their children need to take extra-course activities
B. that the more expensive an education is, the better it is
C. that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence
D. that their children first need to be a good cook if they want to get good marks in the
exams
34. The writer of this passage does not seem to be satisfied with_______.
A. the parents’ ideas of educating their children
B. the education system
C. children’s skills
D. children’s hobbies
35. According to the last paragraph we can conclude that______.
A. broken radios and television sets are useful
B. one's curiosity may be useful for his later life
C. an engineer must fix many broken radios
D. a good student should spend much time repairing radios
第二节 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。（注意：E涂AB, F涂AC, G涂AD）
Do you sweat, chew（嚼）your pencil, and feel butterflies in your stomach as your teacher hands out a test? A lot of people get upset when it's time to take a test. 36 In fact, sometimes a little stress is a good thing for you. Here are some tips for taking tests:
● 37 It sounds like a no-brainer(不用动脑的事), but if you're sure of the information, you'll have less reason to be worried.
● Get enough sleep the night before the test. 38 In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.
● 39 Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts that you are expected to complete. This will allow you to estimate（评估） how much time you have for each part and ask the teacher any questions. If something seems unclear before you start, don't worry: ask.
● Relax. 40 Of course you can't get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle(扭动) your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or imagine yourself on a beach or some calm place.
These tips should help most people, but some can get serious test-taking error. If you're one of them, you may need to talk to a parent or teacher for help.
A.Read the test through first.
B.Be sure you've studied properly.
C.Focus on dealing with each question personally.
D.It's natural to feel some stress about taking tests.
E.Your memory will be much better if you've had enough rest.
F.As the teacher hands out the test, be sure you know what's expected of you.
G.If you're so nervous that you can't think of anything, you might need a mini-break.

参考例文
Dear John,
I’m sorry that you have trouble in learning English at your new school. However, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. Here are some tips to help you:
First of all, why not turn to your teacher for help? Generally speaking, teachers are always willing to help students and have rich experience. In addition, you should form a good learning habit. For example, you’d better read English for an hour every morning. Taking notes in class is also necessary, which will help you review what you have learned. Last but not least, it would be a good idea if you listen to English songs and see English movies in your spare time. By doing this, you can improve your listening skills.
Above all, have confidence in learning English well. I hope you will find these ideas useful.
Yours,
Li Hua
