第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

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

37. In the 1960s in South Africa, black people _____.

A. lived in a democratic society

B. enjoyed the same rights with whites

C. had no rights to take part in elections

D. fought together with whites for freedom

38. What is Mandela’s attitude toward his lifelong fighting for racial equality?

A. Sceptical. B. Disappointed. C. Optimistic. D. Pessimistic(悲观的).

39. All the following statements about Mandela are true EXCEPT that _____.

A. he passed away when he was 95

B. he went on fighting for racial equality even in prison

C. people of all races in South Africa have equal rights, thanks to him

D. he was the first black president in the world

40. How did the author develop the passage after the opening paragraph?

A. By asking questions. B. By making comparison.

C. By arising debates. D. By following time order.

B

“There is no second chance…there is no chance of making mistakes.”

That’s why Dr. Omer Mei-Dan and others who enjoyed base-jumping and wingsuit(翼装) flying were sad but not surprised by the recent deaths of three extreme sports enthusiasts.

Mark Sutton, the English parachutist(跳伞者), died on August 14 in Switzerland when he flew into a rocky ridge(山脊) in a wingsuit. Not even a week afterward, Mario Richard, a Canadian base-jumper, died in Italy during a wingsuit flight, when he “apparently failed to clear a rock by three meters.” And most recently, Hungarian wingsuit flyer Victor Kovats died in Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie on Oct. 9 during a practice flight ahead of the World Championships.

According to Mei-Dan, six to seven percent of the 3,000 or so base-jumpers who use wingsuits or parachutes die each year — a huge number when you consider the most dangerous job in America, logging which has an annual death rate well under one percent of the workers.

Base-jumpers and wingsuit flyers are experienced. They have hundreds of practice before trying to fly from buildings, cliffs and towers. The same goes for those who drop from helicopters above mountains and valleys and then use their wingsuits to try to whiz by(飞速掠过) as close as possible to the rocks and ridges below.

Among the dangers, said Mei-Dan, is the temptation to “push the envelope ” : To try to get close to a rock wall, for example, than anyone else. “ Whe
