(原创)People around the world are remembering NelsonMandela, South Africa’s first black president. He diedThursday at the age of 95.South African President Jacob Zuma said, “The nati on haslost its greatest son, and our people have lost a father. ”Mandela had been in poor health for several years. Hewas repeatedly treated in hospital, most recently for a lung infection. He became infected with tuberculosis(肺结核)many years ago while in prison.Nelson Mandela was the main leader in efforts to end white minority rule in South Africa. He spent 27 years in prison for his part in fighting apartheid(种族隔离)—the nation’s policy of discrimination(歧视)against blacks.Many world leaders, past and present, are remembering Nelson Mandela.Frederick W. de Klerk was South Africa’s last apartheid leader. He freed Mandela from prison in 1990. Later, the two men won the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. de Klerk said people will remember Mandela for the importance he placed on reconciliation(和解)—being able to reach a settlement between conflicting sides. He said their relationship was, in his words, “often stormy”, but he said they were“always able to come together at critical(关键的)moments. ”In the United States, President Barack Obama called Mandela an influential, brave and profoundly good human being. Mr. Obama said Mandela will be remembered for leaving a free South Africa at peace. “I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s l ife. My very first political action—the first thing I ever did that involved an issue, or a policy, or politics—was a protest against apartheid. I would study his words and his writings. ”In London, British Prime Minister David Cameron called Mandela a true global hero. In his words, a great light has gone out in the world.【文章大意】本文主要介绍了南非前总统曼德拉的去世及世界各国主要领导人对曼德拉的缅怀。

[学以致用]When I was growing up in the suburbs of New York，our first local Earth Daywas organized around a drive to a town field where families were urged to dump items from their basements for recycling rather than tossing them in the trash.It wasan eye-opening concept for a kid in 1970.But as an environmental reporter，I have come to dread(非常害怕)the large amount of deals and promotions that arrive via e-mail or in my office or home mailbox on Earth Day.Like Valentine's Day，Earth Day has become a huge marketing opportunity —aparadoxical(矛盾的)way to promote consumption and sell stuff.In fact，Earth Day is such a good sales hook that so-me shops，like Target，have expanded Earth Day into Earth Month.There isn't time to give you a full rundown of the Earth Day shopping opportunities I was alerted to this past week.They included deals on buying bottled water and earth-f riendly diaper wipes.My award for the silliest promotion：a plan to gift 25 of the most environmentally conscious stars unique，useful and fabulous “green” products and services，including skin care products，cat litter，cheesecake and artwork.My guess is most of the stuff will end up in celebrities' garbage.What's the author's attitude towards the deals promotions on Earth Day?A．Objective.

With the tears streaming down her face，she put her two hands to her lips，and kissed them to Him; then clasped(紧握着)them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there．“You are not the gaoler’s(监狱长)daughter ?”She sighed“No. ”“Who are you ?”Not yet trusting the tones of her voice，she sat down on the bench beside him．He drew backbut she laid her hand upon his arm．A strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at her．Her golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down over her neck．Advancing his hand by little and little，he took it up and looked at it．In the middle of the action he went astray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemaking．But lot for long．Releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder．After lookingdoubtfully at it，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attached to it．He opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his finger．He took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it．“It is the same．How can it be! When was it! How was it!”As the concentrating expression returned to his forehead，he seemed to become conscious thatit was in hers too．He turned her full to the light，and looked at her．“She had laid her head upon my shoulder，that night when I was summoned(传唤)out—shehad a fear of my going，though I had none—and when I was brought to the North Tower they found these upon my sleeve．‘You will leave me them? They can never help me to escape in the body，though they may in the spirit．’Those were the words I said．I remember them very well. ”He formed this speech with his lips many times before he could utter it．But when he did findspoken words for it，they came to him coherently(连贯地)，though slowly．“How was this?一Was it you? ”1．The underlined word“it” in the passage refers to“”.A．her hair B．her hand C．his arm D．his shoulder2．The passage is most probably taken from .A．a chant B．a drama C．a novel D．an essay3．From the passage，we can infer that .A．the lady was the gaoler’s friend B．the man lived a peaceful lifeC．they hadn’t seen each other for years D．they made a happy conversation4．The old man took the lady’s hair into his hand again because .A．the hair reminded him of his daughterB．he found the hair of high qualityC．the lady had almost the same hair as he didD．the lady’s hair worried him so much5．The writer attracts the readers by .A．describing the changes of the relationshipB．giving a vivid description of detailsC．using funny and humorous languageD．presenting unpredictable consequence【参考答案】1—5、BCCAB阅读理解。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as“ a ribbon (丝带)around a bomb”．Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly，she is actually a much_bigger_name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City ，Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven.Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older.Then，in 1925，her back was broken in several places in a school­bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However，the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering，Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist.Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s，even in her home country.Her first one­woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954，Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.弗里达·卡洛是一位画家，她的作品还有艺术影响力，但是她的名气在现在比她当时的时代要大得多。

话题阅读板块（A）Scientists say they’ve developed a system using machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike.The research was led by engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland.European researchers have estimated between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year.The strikes can also cause power outages(停电),destroy property,damage electrical equipment and start forest fires.For these reasons,climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning.But no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods.The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas.The data related to four main surface conditions:air pressure,air temperature,relative humidity(湿度) and wind speed.The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm(算法),which compared it to records of lightning strikes.Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method.He said,“Current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites.”“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station,” Mostajabi said.“This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellites or in places where communication systems have been cut,” he added.1.Why have climate scientists tried to predict and control lightning?A.To collect relative data.B.To create a scientific system.C.To do research in relation to machine learning.D.To reduce the destruction lightning has been causing.2.The four mentioned surface conditions include all the following EXCEPT .A.wind speedB.air pollutionC.relative humidityD.air temperature3.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?A.Lightning.B.The system being tested.C.The atmospheric data.D.The machine learning algorithm.4.What can we learn about Mostajabi from the passage?A.He developed the method and the system by himself.B.He thinks the current systems are too slow and simple.C.He is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.D.He believes their system does much better in data collection.（B）In 2010,a huge earthquake hit Haiti,causing the deaths of over a hundred thousand people and millions of dollars’ worth of damage.1On this occasion,funds were raised with amazing speed—within a week of the quake,the American Red Cross had raised $22 million.The reason?People were donating via their mobile phones.2Gone are the days when people donated door by door.In today’s world of computers,smartphones,tablets,and smartwatches,charities can now reach more people than ever before.Social media in particular has had a great impact on charity.3This enables charities to raise money extremely quickly,as in Haiti.And the quicker aid can be delivered,the more lives can be saved.Individual fundraising has also benefited.Most people are now so well-connected through sites like Meta that asking people to contribute to your chosen cause is easier than ever.New,innovative ways of donating are being thought up all the time.For example,if you want to support a good cause and keep fit at the same time,you can use an app called Charity Miles.4For every kilometer you cover,the app’s sponsors will make a donation to a charity of your choice.There’s also Snapdonate,which allows users to donate simply by taking a photo of a charity’s logo with their smartphone.The app recognizes the logo and allows users to immediately make a donation through their phones.This cuts out the need for entering payment details on charity websites,and makes the process of donating small amounts to multiple charities much simpler.Apps like these are growing in number,and that can only be a good thing.5A.People were eager to aid others in trouble.B.The app can track the distance you run or cycle.C.News of disasters spreads quickly around the world.D.Charity helps to refresh the development of social media.E.Technological advances have changed how charities work.F.The international community jumped into action to provide aid.G.In future,we could support our chosen cause more easily and more often.Part 3 语法写作板块（A）The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,1.(publish) in 1876,is one of America’s best-loved stories.It has double appeal.First,it attracts nearly all young people,regardless of time or culture because of the 2.(excite) adventures of a typical boy during the mid-nineteenth century.Secondly,the novel attracts the adult reader 3.looks back on his or

(combine) of the past and the present.Although The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is set in a small town on the banks of the Mississippi River sometime during 7.1840s,readers from all parts of the world respond to the 8.(variety) adventures experienced by Tom and his group of friends.Twain’s ability 9.(discover) universal experiences and dreams and fears of childhood leads to the success 10.the novel.（B）假定你是李华,你校将举办一场以“How to survive an earthquake”为主题的讲座。

Unit 23 Conflict李仕才【阅读理解】“Congratulations,Mr.Jones!It’s a girl.”Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words.Some feel proud when they receive the news,while others worry,wondering whether they will be good fathers.Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them,others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them.Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time.For other couples,pregnancy(怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child,it is obvious that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task.Yet,unfortunately,few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization process.Although many good books have been written about American mothers,only recently have some books discussed the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’srole,although difficult,is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role.The mother’s role seems to require a complete transforma tion of daily routine and adaptation to a new life,on the other hand,the father’s role is less demanding and immediate.However,even though we have mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home,the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.1.According to the author,being a father________.A.brings a feeling of excitement to some menB.has a different meaning for those who have daughtersC.makes some men feel proud and others uneasyD.means nothing but more responsibilities2.It is stated in the passage that______.A.some parents are not prepared to have a childB.young couples do not like children at allC.working couples do not have much time to take care of their childrenD.many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child3.The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife____.A.changes her life style in a quite different wayB.makes a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situationC.stays at home to take care of the babyD.helps her husband in his re-socialization process参考答案： 1.C; 2.A; 3.B解析：本文主要讲述从丈夫的角色转换到父亲的角色是一个很难的过程。

AThere is no doubt now that Yellowstone National Park is indeed extraordinarily beautiful. If you’re looking for the ultimate outdoorsy getaway, this would be it. Hundreds of miles of hiking trails wind through forests, along streams and up mountains. Yellowstone attracts about three million visitors every year.When to Visit YellowstoneThe best times to visitYellowstone are from March toMay and from September to November. These seasons feature both mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer is the most popular time to visit: the kids are out of school and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside. However, this park is no stranger to the cold. Temperatures have been known to drop into the 30s even in summer, and during the winter, they range anywhere from negative three to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Don’t let that stop you. There’s nothing quite like seeing plumes (飘升之物) of steam rise from beneath a thick blanket of snow.Yellowstone DiningThere are several restaurants, cafeterias and snack shops within the borders of Yellowstone National Park. Consider bringing along a cooler with lunch items and snacks — so you don’t have to worry about staying near one of the park’s more developed areas. Yellowstone is also home to several sit-down restaurants located in the most visited areas. Cafeterias serve burgers and sandwiches while upscale restaurants like the Lake Yellowstone Hotel Dining Room provide selections of game meats. Although the fare is far from fine, reservations are necessary during the busy summers.Getting around Yellowstone The best way to get around Yellowstone Hotels$199: four-star hotels in Jackson HoleYellowstone is by car, especially as there is no public transportation system.

SHANGHAI—Health experts in Shanghai are calling for more protection for young children as the latest research shows about half of the youngsters are suffering from secondhand smoke.About 45 percent of children suffer passive smoking in families，50 percent in public places，and almost 6 percent on public transportation，shows a research released by the Shanghai Children's Medical Center on Tuesday.“Not only adults but also children and newborn babies are at risk for the adverse effects of passive smoking, ”said Tang Jingyan, a doctor at the Shanghai Children's Medical Center.“Actually, those young children whose bodies are still growing and developing are more sensitive to the effects of secondhand sm oke.”Research has shown that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke will suffer from more colds, coughs and sore throats，and they are more likely to suffer from bronchitis, pneumonia and will have a higher risk of developing cancer.Doctors even suggested that children suffering passive smoking are more likely to have behavioral problems and may not developmentally as quickly as their peers.Other research by the Shanghai Children's Medical Center has found that more than 80 percent of child patients in the center live in a smoke filled household, where one or both parents smoke.“Though doctors have stressed the harm of passive smoking over and over, it is still hard to reach a totally smoke free home, ”said a pediatrician named Zhang Yiwen, noting tha t parents are often tempted to smoke even though they have learned the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.China has 540 million people suffering from passive smoke，180 million of them younger than 15.The age of smokers is also getting lower, earlier reports said.“There are more young smokers than before.You can see young people wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag light a cigarette on the street.Some of them are even female students, ”said Jing Xingming, a professor of children's development al behavior at the center.“Children like to imitate adults, especially their parents.If parents often smoke at home, it is very likely children will develop a smoking habit, which can cause a vicious circle，”Jin said.Reports from the Ministry of Health said China has about 350 million smokers, of whom 15 million are underage smokers.Also, around 40 million of the country's 130 million children aged between 13 and 18 had tried smoking, and 15 million had become addicted to tobacco.【语篇解读】本文主要说明了许多儿童目前受二手烟的影响，以及二手烟对儿童产生的危害。
