19、al ban on all and-personnel landmines (地雷). Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,“ she said. “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality

20、 home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines“. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.But, back in London, her views were not shared by some membe

21、rs of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “very ill-informed “and a“ loose cannon (乱放的人 ).The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: “This is a distraction (干扰)

22、 we do not need. All Im trying to do is help.Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princesss trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-i

23、nformed about both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, MalcolmRifkidnd, claimed that the Princesss views on landmines were not very different from

24、government policy, and that it was “working towards“ a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.“For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how

25、 much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.41 Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 ( ).（A）to voice her support for a total ban of landmines（B） to clarify the British governments s

26、tand on landmines（C） to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there（D）to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims42 What did Diana mean when she said “. putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me“ (Paragraph 1 )?（A）She just couldnt bear to meet the landmine vi

27、ctims face to face（B） The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home（C） Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics（D）Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation43 Some members of the British government criticized Dia

28、na because ( ).（A）she was ill-informed of the governments policy（B） they were actually opposed to banning landmines（C） she had not consulted the government before the visit（D）they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola44 How did Diana respond to the criticisms?（A）She paid no at

29、tention to them（B） She made more appearances on TV（C） She met the 13-year-old girl as planned（D）She rose to argue with her opponents45 What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?（A）It had caused embarrassment to the British government（B） It had brought her closer to the ordinary people（C）

30、It had greatly promoted her popularity（D）It had affected her relations with the British government45 In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex“, or, if men wa

31、nt to please them, “the fair sex“. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women

32、s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes, Womens times are always slower than mens, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was

33、 only 16. The first “Tarzan“ in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more s

34、erious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone (荷尔蒙) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!46 Women are calle

35、d“ the weaker sex“ because ( ).（A）women do as much work as men（B） people think women are weaker than men（C） sport is easier for men than for women（D）in sport the two sexes are always together47 Which of the following is true?（A）Boys and girls study separately everywhere（B） Women do not run or swim i

36、n races with men（C） Famous Prime Ministers are women（D）Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe48 “That at least is what people say.“ means people ( ).（A）say other things too（B） dont say this much（C） say this but may not think so（D）only think this49 What problems does sport have?（A）Some wo

37、men athletes are actually men（B） Some women athletes are given hormone injections（C） Women and men do not run or swim in the same races（D）It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women50 In this passage the author implies that ( ).（A）women are weaker than men, but faster（B） women a

38、re slower than men, but stronger（C） men are not always stronger and faster than women（D）men are faster and stronger than women50 Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long, long ago“. Chess was probably invented in In

39、dia, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess“ is interesting. When one player is attacking the others king, he says, in English, “check“. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says “check mate“. These words come from Persian. “Shah mat“

40、 means “the king is dead“. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It wou

41、ld be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You dont have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match

42、 played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.51 Which of the following is known to be true?（A）Chess is an old

43、 Indian travelling game（B） Chess is the oldest game in the world（C） Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400（D）Chess was played in India long before 90052 One player has won the game when ( ).（A）he attacks the other players king（B） he says some Persian words（C） the other players king cannot

44、move anywhere（D）he says “check“ to the other player53 Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?（A）Shah mat（B） Check（C） The king is dead“（D）Check mate54 Which of the following is NOT correct?（A）All kinds of people can play chess（B） Only two people can play chess sitting a

45、t the same table（C） Some people write to each other playing chess（D）The Russians lost the game played by radio55 According to the old rules of the game ( ).（A）the queen was the strongest piece on the board（B） the king had to be attacked all the time（C） the queen could move no more than one square at

46、 a time（D）the king could not move anywhere55 Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing our that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often c

47、aused by more complex reasons than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or for fear of having their idea stole

48、n. These people who seem lazy may be paralyzed by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies, may prevent work, some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals or fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever “lesser“ work is on ha

49、nd. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating(延迟) rescheduling their day.Laziness can actually be helpful, Like procrastinators (拖延者，拖拉者) , some people may look lazy when they are really thinking, planning, contemplating, researching. We should all remember that great scientific discoveries occurred by chance. Newton wasnt working in the orchard (果园) when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone “lazy“ build the car or stove we buy, particularly if
