　　(2024·阜新模擬)The advice offered from any other 82-year-olds might have made young people yawn and roll their eyes. But when former South African president Nelson Mandela advised two dozen local youth leaders in Los Angeles to take education seriously, his audience was listening.

　　The famed old man said to the young people that if they expected to improve the lives of others in the future, they must work at improving their own lives now.

　　“Education is one of the most important weapons you have, ” Mandela advised. “It will place you in a far better position to serve yourself and your community. ”

　　“The point is, he was young once and rebellious once and he kept his dream alive, just as you each have dreams, ” explained South Africa’s ambassador to the United States, Sheila Sisulu, as she introduced Mandela to the young crowd.

　　Asked for specific advice about changing society by 21-year-old Ahmed Younis, Mandela suggested that somehow helping arouse more American interest in foreign affairs might be a start.

　　“There is an impression that Americans, in general, have not followed international developments properly, ” Mandela said. “I’m not making that statement myself, but there are serious political analysts who say Americans are not well informed as to what has happened in the world. ”

　　22-year-old Omari Trice said Mandela left him full of enthusiasm. “He’s a person who set the tone for an entire nation, ” said Trice. “You come away feeling you need to be a superman in order to get things done. ” (230W)

　　Ⅱ. 用30個詞左右概括閱讀理解大意

　　Ⅰ. 1.【解析】選A。句意:由于競爭激烈, 這家公司只好提高電話津貼作為獎賞來留住顧客。reward “回報, 獎賞” ; prize “獎品, 獎金” ; award “獎品, 獎狀” ; result “結果” 。

　　2.【解析】選C。考查形容詞辨析。句意:在歡度中秋節時, 慶祝豐收是一個重要的原因, 但是全家團聚同樣重要。fair “公平的” ; reasonable “有道理的” ; equal “相等的” ; proper “合適的” 。

　　3.【解析】選B。考查短語意義辨析。句意:我的女兒酷愛吃各種肉, 不愿意吃任何蔬菜, 這讓我很擔憂。be devoted to奉獻于……, 獻身于……; be addicted to沉溺于……, 溺愛……; be accustomed to習慣于……; be exposed to暴露在……之中。

　　4.【解析】選D。考查非謂語動詞。句意:邁克每次違反交通規則的時候, 他都試圖逃避懲罰。動詞escape后接動詞時要用v. -ing形式, 不接不定式。fine是及物動詞, 意為 “罰款” , 需用被動語態。

　　5.【解析】選A。考查stage后定語從句的關系詞。句意:最終我們到了一個新讀者比老讀者多的階段。在定語從句中缺少地點狀語, 故選where。

　　【知識拓展】小心 “抽象地點” 名詞

　　(1)誤導原因

　　一般情況下position, situation, stage, job等詞并不表地點; 表 “地點” 的名詞通常是比較明顯地含地點意義的名詞, 如factory, farm, school等。

　　(2)去偽存真

　　當position, situation, stage, job等詞在句中表示抽象的地點, 且其后的定語從句中又缺少地點狀語時, 應用where引導定語從句。

　　(3)思維定勢

　　當上述抽象的地點名詞作先行詞時, 若定語從句中缺少主語或賓語, 則使用which或that。如上述題干作如下改動, 答案便選D。

　　In time we reached a stagewas of vital importance to our reading.

　　6.【解析】選B。考查短語動詞辨析。句意:周四兩顆炸彈在巴基斯坦的城市爆炸后不久, 市長就趕到現場, 親自處理這件事情。turn to求助于; see to負責, 處理; set to毅然開始做; refer to談及, 參考。根據句意, 故選B。

　　8.【解析】選C。句意:當你處于困境中時, 學會對生活保持樂觀的態度是很重要的。名詞attitude后接介詞to或towards; in trouble “處于困境中” 。

　　9.【解析】選C。句意:每當你和別人談話或寫東西時, 你都在向別人展示你的技能。every time/each time引導時間狀語從句, 意為 “每當……” , 其他三項都不能引導時間狀語從句。

　　10.【解析】選D。句意:統治者因未遵守競選時的諾言而被資訊界攻擊。attack “攻擊, 抨擊” , 符合題意。destroy “破壞, 毀滅” ; beat “敲打, 跳動, 打敗” ; fight “打仗, 搏斗” 。

　　11.【解析】選A。“only +狀語或者狀語從句” 置于句首時, 主句需使用部分倒裝語序。

　　12.【解析】選C。句意:食用油的安全問題是一個我們爭論了很長時間的話題。先行詞是edible oil safety, 指物, 關系詞在從句中作介詞的賓語, 介詞前置, 介詞與從句動詞構成搭配argue about sth. 。

　　13.【解析】選D。考查固定短語。句意:政府軍被打敗后, 反叛者上臺執政了。A項意為 “產生; 形成” ; B項意為 “開始使用” ; C項意為 “開始生效; 起作用” ; D項意為 “上臺; 開始執政” 。故D項符合句意。

　　out of date 過時;

　　out of patience

　　不耐煩;

　　out of control 失去控制;

　　out of question 沒問題, 無疑的;

　　out of place 不得其所的, 不適當的, 格格不入的;

　　15.【解析】選B。句意:貝蒂現在對這首詩表現出濃厚的興趣, 但是她第一次讀這首詩時, 認為它很乏味。the first time “第一次……” , 可以用作從屬連詞引導時間狀語從句。at the first time “在第一次” , for the first time “第一次” , at first “起初” , 這幾個介詞短語皆只能在句中作狀語, 不能引導狀語從句。
