    Ellas’ story
    My name is Ellas .I am a poor black worker in South Africa .The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life .I was twelve years old . It was in 1952 and he had opened a black law firm to advise black poor people on their problems .
    I began school at six . The school where I studied only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave, because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare .I could not read or write. After trying hard ,I got a job in a gold mine, This was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have this passbook because I was not born there and I was worried about whether I would be out of work.
    The day when Nelson Mandela told me what to do and helped me was one of the happiest days of my life .He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg .I never forgot how kind he was and when he organized the ANC Youth League ,I joined it as soon as I could .He said:
    “The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.”
    It was the truth .Black people has no vote and could not choose who ruled them .The parts of town where they lived were places decided by white people .They could not get jobs they wanted .The places there they were sent to live were the poorest areas in South Africa .No one could grow food there .In fact as  Nelson Mandela said:
    “…we were put in a position in which we had either to accept we were less important ,or fight the Government .We chose to attack the law .We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful ;when this was not allowed… only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.”
    As a matter of fact, I do not like violence… but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings .It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison for years .But I was happy to help because I knew it was to realize our dream of making black and white people equal.

    第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分80分）

    第一节：阅读理解（共35小题；每小题2分，满分70分）

    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    　　August has always been difficult for me. It is the time when I realize that the books my English teacher assigned to me are not going to read themselves and that I have a difficult month in front of me.

    　　You might think that I don’t want to spend my summer reading, but that’s not the problem: I love reading. On the first day of my summer holidays this year, I went to the library and got “A Gathering of Old Men” by African-American writer Ernest Gaines. I enjoyed it very much. I read all the magazines that my parents subscribe to and spend about 30 minutes every day with the morning paper. So why do I hate summer reading for school? Because the books on summer reading lists are often slow-going and just uninviting. Teachers and librarians don’t understand that summer reading can be entertaining as well as educational. They choose books that a friend of my mother’s calls “spinach books”: good for you, but not much fun to take in. Every summer, I read them, hate them and get bitter about the experience.

    　　This bitterness started three years ago when I was about to begin high school. As preparation, my English teacher told me to read “The Age of Innocence” by American author Edith Wharton. I’m sure there are many people who enjoyed “The Age of Innocence” — some might even say it’s their favorite book.

    　　But I don’t think any of these people read it as a 14-year-old boy on his summer vacation.

    　　“The Age of Innocence” is the story of a forbidden romance in New York 100 years ago. At 14, my only experience with romance was my love for baseball. I couldn’t imagine being in love, much less being in love in 1900. “The Age of Innocence” was totally different to my life.

    　　Most of my required summer reading has been like that — books written in a style that plays up the adjectives and plays down the verbs. I guess teachers don’t think exciting plots make for “good literature”. To me, though, a good writer describes events and characters in a way that makes the reader want to know what happens next.

    　　If I were making up a summer reading list, it would include “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” by George V. Higgins, “The Right Stuff” by Tom Wolfe, and “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. These are all books that have literary value but, just as important, can also entertain kids on vacation. If the teachers could stand a little fun in the books they assign, my Augusts would be a lot more enjoyable.

    1. The author thinks he will have a difficult August because ____________.

    A. he doesn’t like reading in summer vacation

    B. he is to read the books boring and not right for kids

    C. he hates the English teacher assigning homework

    D. he hates August

    2. What can make students interested in August reading ought to be ___________.

    A. romantic                                                      B. out of date

    C. entertaining and educational                            D. pure

    3. The author listed such books as “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” because he thinks __________.

    A. they can change his opinion                            B. he can learn a lot more from them

    C. they are of literary value, and enjoyable    D. he has to do as teachers tell him to

    4. In the opinion of the author of this passage, a good writer should be ___________.

    A. one who describes events and characters in different ways

    B. one who is full of imagination         

    C. one who is learned

    D. one who uses a way of describing that makes the reader wish to know what to happen next

    5. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?

    A. Why Can’t Teachers Set Us Fun Books?

    B. I Don’t Like Reading on the Vacation

    C. Teachers, Don’t Set Us Any Reading Assignments

    D. Teachers, Set Us Free

    第二部分、 非选择题（共35分）

    V. Reading expression: 阅读表达10% (共5小题, 每小题2分，满分10分, 每小题2分)

    阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

    To build a safer car, Japanese automakers are trying to replace the most accident-prone (易出事故的) part: the driver.

    Inspired by statistics blaming human error for most accidents, Toyota and its competitors are designing “intelligent” cars that can almost drive themselves on the high way.

    The systems are designed to reduce human tiredness and the mistakes that often result. This kind of support is what drivers need most in a country with some of the most crowded reads in the world. That is why it should not be surprising that Japan is leading the race to make cars smarter.

    To provide a safer ride, Japanese automakers are turning to technologies like laser radar and machine vision to replace tired eyes and wandering minds.

    An infrared radar unit fixed on the bumper is part of a now cruise (巡航) control method that Toyota introduced in August 1997. It’s now an optional feature on its Celsior luxury sedan that costs 70,000 yen (US$648).

    The “adaptive” system tracks the car ahead, and slows down or speed up the car automatically to keep a safer distance in highway traffic. The same technology has also been used by some cars made by Toyota’s competitors.

    Subaru, a type of its Legacy wagon, made its first appearance last September with Active Driving Assist, which besides adjusting cruising speed, sounds an alarm if the car goes out of its lane or makes a turn too fast. In the latter case, it down shifts gear even before the driver starts to brake.

    An even smarter system is coming from Honda. Called Honda Intelligent Driver Support (HIDS), it “sees” the road through a tiny camera on the windshield and helps steer the car down the middle of lane. A computer picks out lines on the highway surface and touched the car’s steering wheel in the right direction. Honda got approval in March to start testing HIDS on the highway and says it will arrive in showrooms in the near future.

    56. Why are Japanese automakers developing cars that can almost drive themselves on the highway?  (No more than 10 words)

    _____________________________________________________________________________

    57.What is the main purpose for the automakers to design the system of the new cars?(within 15 wd)

    _____________________________________________________________________________

    58. When is it likely that an accident happens?  (No more than 15 words)

    _____________________________________________________________________________

    59. If you drive the car with HIDS, what will you find?  (No more than 10 words)

    _____________________________________________________________________________

    60. What does the underlined word “showroom” in the last paragraph mean in English? 

    (No more than 5 words) _________________________________________________________
