　　Passage One

　　When the world mourned Nelson Mandela at his funeral on December 10, 2013, few would remember that early on, (9) the father of the modem South African nation was feared and condemned by many nations for advocating violence.

　　As young, Nelson Mandela had a rebellious streak. He was a founding member of the Youth League of the African National Congress, combating apartheid at a young age. In 1961, he founded and became co-chairman of the ANC's military wing.

　　Its tactics included bombing power plants, military installations, and transportation lines.

　　(l0) In 1962, Mandela was convicted of conspiracy and he began serving a life sentence two years later.

　　The 1960s brought a change in tactics by groups campaigning for change. Once local and confined to a specific area of conflict, they now focused on the anti-colonial unification of groups worldwide.

　　The 1970s and 1980s brought heightened fears of the Cold War and global terrorism.

　　Britain was battling the military wing of the Irish Republican Army. Analysts say Mandela was lumped along with terrorists in western perception.

　　(11) In 1984, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher narrowly escaped injury when an IRA bomb exploded at a Conservative Party meeting in Brighton. Five party members were killed.

　　In 1987, Thatcher branded the ANC a terrorist organization.

　　Following South Africa's transition to black majority rule and Mandela's election as president, many feared his ascension to power.

　　(12) But those who feared a freed Nelson Mandela pursuing power in South Africa have watched him lead, govern, and forgive.

　　Question 9. What is the passage mainly talking about?

　　Question 10. What happened to Nelson Mandela in 1962?

　　Question 11. What happened to British Prime Minister in 1984?

　　Question 12. What happened when Nelson Mandela was elected president of South Africa?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题9】C

　　【小题10】C

　　【小题11】C

　　【小题12】B

　　习题解析：

　　【小题9】这是一道主旨题，短文开头部分提到“2013年12月10日，当全世界都在纳尔逊·曼德拉的葬礼上为他哀悼的时候，几乎没有人会记起这位现代南非之父曾经因为主张暴力而被很多国家谴责和惧怕。”可见本文主要是回顾纳尔逊·曼德拉的过去。C选项符合文意，故选C。

　　【小题10】短文中提到，1962年纳尔逊·曼德拉被判犯有阴谋（推翻政府）罪，故本题选C。

　　【小题11】本题问的是“1984年英国首相发生了什么事情”，文中提到在1984年，当爱尔兰共和军的一枚炸弹在布赖顿的保守党会场爆炸时，英国首相玛格丽特·撒切尔侥幸没有受伤。因此，C选项“她在爱尔兰共和军的炸弹爆炸中差点受伤”为正确答案。

　　【小题12】本题属于推断题，短文最后提到“但是那些对重获自由并在南非追求权力的纳尔逊·曼德拉感到惧怕的人看到的却是（英明的）领导、（有力的）统治和（无私的）宽容。”根据排除法可以推断出答案为B。
