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．Among the memorabilia in the Mandela Family Museum in Soweto, visitors can find the world championship belt given to Mandela by American boxer Sugar Ray Leonard.Rolihlahla Mandela was nine years old when a teacher at the primary Methodist school where he was studying, gave him an English name—Nelson—in accordance with the custom to give all school children Christian names.Rolihlahla is not a mon name in South Africa．It means “troublemaker”．His circumcision name was Dalibunga, meaning “founder of the Bunga”.However, in South Africa, Mr. Mandela was often called by his clan(宗族)name—Madiba—which South Africans used out of respect.After going underground because of his ANC activities, Mr. Mandela’s ability to evade(躲避)the securities services earned him the nickname “the black Pimpernel”, after the novel The Scarlet Pimpernel, about a hero with a secret identity.A fake(伪造的)passport in the name of David Motsamayi was used by Mr. Mandela. He had disguised(伪装) himself as 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 est ablished South Africa’s first black law firm, Mandela and Tambo, in Johannesburg. He persevered to finally secure a law degree while in prison in 1989.56.Why did Nelson Mandela bee a boxing fan?A．He desired to enjoy the training. B．He wanted to take the championship.C．He enjoyed the violence of boxing. D．He hoped to find a better job.57.Which of the following is true of Mandela’s name?A．Rolihlahla is a popular name in South Africa.B．His parents gave him the name—Nelson.C．His original name was not Nelson.D．Madiba was his Christian name.58.What made people call Mr. Mandela “the black Pimpernel”?A．His ability to escape from being caught.B．His underground activities in ANC.C．His pressure given by the authorities.D．The novel’s hero wit h a secret identity.59.Mr Mandela made a fake passport to_____.A．travel around the country B．go abroad easilyC．disguise himself as an actor D．escape from the authorities60.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．It took Mr. Mandela over fifty years to get a law degree.B．Mr. Mandela was a determined person.C．Mr. Mandela got his law degree after being released from prison.D．Mr. Mandela set up South Africa’s first law firm.BApple published new iPads at the headquarters on Thursday. Fortune had 30 minutes to try them both out. While Apple clearly adjusted last year’s models--- one much more than the other--- instead of entirely remaking them, the latest iPads seemingly uphold pany’s reputation for making quality products.iPad Air 2:The new 9.7-inch tablet looks a lot like last year’s model, but manages to be 18% slimmer--- a design that makes the iPad Air 2 thinner than a pencil. It’s the thinnest tablet on the market. A new screen cuts glare and reflections by half, according to the Apple. And now there’s Touch ID, the same fingerprint scanning technology found in last year’s iPhone 5s that users unlock their devices by placing a finger on the home button.The iPad Air’s other improvements includes a faster processor and graphics chip, a B urst mode feature that quickly get a series of photos and more storage on iPad models priced $599 and above .It will be available starting Oct.24iPad mini3If the larger iPad received something of a face improvement this year, its smaller sister got a half-hour facial. Available Oct.24, the iPad mini 3 is more portable thanks to its 7.9-inch size, but there’s very little new here besides the addition of Touch ID. And yes, the iPad Mini 3 offers more storage on model priced $499 and over, but again, the iPad Air 2 does that, too.In fact , the iPad mini 3 is virtually similar to last year’s model down to the size, processor and camera, so much so that handling the device gave me déjà vu(似曾相识). pared to the Air 2, it’s noticeably thicker, runs slower and lacks the Air 2’s glare-resistant screen. It’s still a solid. Affordable tablet--- it just doesn’t offer much that’s new.61 Which isn’t the description of the iPad Air 2?A.

He leads a team who has studied the problem since the 1980s.Back then, people knew little about what and how well people could smell. Doctors simply lacked a tool to measure people’s scent detection. So Doty developed a smell test, based on 40 different cards. Each card carries a different odor( 气味). A person’s score equals the total number of correctly identified scents. The cards allow doctors to measure how many scents people can detect and thus determine whether they lose the sense of smell. Today, this test is used by laboratories around the world.In the project, Doty’s team used the cards to test smokers. The test showed that the more cigarettes people smoked, the poorer their ability to identify chocolate, rubber, apple and other scents. In another, Doty tested 99 people who breathed in smoke and dust. He found their sense of smell was generally not as sensitive as that of other people. The study showed certain pollutants can harm our sense of smell.Actually, the major interest for Doty is the link between the sense of smell and Parkinson’s disease, which strikes millions of mostly older people worldwide. It causes shaking in patients and makes it difficult for them to walk, talk, eat and smell. So a smell test could help diagnose the disease much sooner than usual. That could give patients access to early treatment.Doty’s research team is also working with patients who have begun taking medication for Parkinson’s disease. They give smell tests to the patients and scan their brains, using an imaging device called SPECT.“So far, the smell tests are proving to be more sensitive than the brain scans, ”Doty says. The findings suggest it may be possible for doctors to use inexpensive smell tests to diagnose Parkinson’s disease even before the disease shows up in far more expensive brain scans. While the research is under preparation, Doty says, it has a bright future.66. The 40 different cards’ test was developed by Doty in order to___________.A. guide the doctors to help the older people better.B. measure people’s ability to identify scents.C. help people know how they could smell better.D. check if older people will lose their sense of smell.67. Two examples are mentioned in the third paragraph to show that____________.A. the card test has shifted Doty’s attentionB. the card test has benefited the doctors a lotC. the card test brought Doty’s team unexpected findingsD. the card test is widely used all over the worlds.68. According to the passage, what interests Doty most is _____________.A. how the sense of smell limits people’s behaviorsB. how smokers are losing their sense of smellC. how Parkinson’s disease makes it difficult to walkD. how the sense of smell is linked to Parkinson’s disease69. How does the test help older people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease?A. By giving them access to early treatmentB. By offering them cheaper medicineC. By diagnosing their disease much more carefullyD. By offering them a second chance to scan their brains70. We can infer from the passage that the research is____________A. negativeB. hopefulC. uncertainD. imaginativePART FOUR WRITINGSection A (10 marks)Dictions: Read the following passage.

Generosity literally means willingn ess and liberty in giving away one’s own money, time, talent, etc. sincerely without any personal gain as shown in the following story.Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old lady got up. She was gone with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in rags. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Mahatma Gandhi was sitting.“I must see him,” she insisted. She went up to Mahatma Gandhi and touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari(卷布), she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Mahatma Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Mahatma Gandhi for the coin but Mahatma Gandhi refused.“I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees (卢比) for the Charkha Sangh,” Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly, “yet you won’t trust me with a copper coin.” “This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands,” Mahatma Gandhi said. “If a man has one hundred thousand rupees and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn’t mean much.” “But this coin was perhaps all that the poor lady possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than ten millions of rupees.”81.
