Nelson Mandela is respected and admired across the world. And to South Africans he is a superstar. He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races, despite the 27 years he spent in the prison of the South Africa’s white, racist regime(政权)
Mandela, who won the nation’s first all-race elections after the fall of apartheid(种族隔离) in 1944,retired in 1999. But he remains as popular as ever.
“He’s loved by all people, whether you’re white or black, whether you’re young or old,” said Ali Bacher, South Africa’s former cricket(板球) chief.
His popularity has inspired an entire national industry. His portrait has appeared at many places, including on some goods. His face has appeared on a South African coin, a metropolitan(首都)area was named in his honor and some business leaders hope to build a massive, rotating statue in his likeness---- the Statue of Freedom. It would stand taller than New York’s Statue of Liberty.
His popular appeal is similar to that of John F. Kennedy wth US or Winston Churchill in Britain, but few politicians in his times have achieved his level of admiration, said Tom Lodge, head of the political science department of the University of the Witwatersrand.“ Sometimes it isn’t completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political career. He is a very ,very clever man,”However , he is far from perfect.
Most articles for his birthday, which appeared in every major South African newspaper on the day, briefly mentioned that Mandela did have his shortcomings. Then they returned to their flowing praises. “Through the ages, the human race has had its icons(偶像)---- men and women who rose above ordinary people to inspire their generation,” The Mail and Guardian Weekly said. “In our generation, the gods presented us Nelson Mandela.”Nelson Mandela is loved by all the people of South Africa because_____________.

C.he’s a great fighter against the racialism |
D.he’s the first all-race elections president |

B.It appears on the Statue of Freedom |
C.It is used to raise money for the Statue of Freedom |
D.It is similar to that of John F. Kennedy or Winston Churchill |
The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means “_____________”
A.Mandela is as great as a god |
B.We are proud to live in Mandela’s time |
C.Mandela lives together with us all |
D.We are proud to know Mandela |

Mona Lisa, the mysterious woman in Leonardo da Vinci's 16th century masterpiece, had just given birth to her second son when she sat for the painting, a French art expert said on Tuesday. The discovery was made by a team of Canadian scientists who used special infrared(红外线) and three-dimensional(三维的)technology to study the paint layers on the work, which now sits in the Louvre museum in Paris.
Bruno Mottin of the French Museums' Center for Research and Restoration said that on very close examination of the painting it became clear that the Mona Lisa's dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze veil.(透明面纱)
"This type of gauze dress was typical of the kind worn in early 16th century Italy by women who were pregnant or who had just given birth. This is something that had never been seen up to now because the painting was always judged to be dark and difficult to examine," he told a news conference.
"We can now say that this painting by Leonardo da Vinci was painted in memory of the birth of the second son of Mona Lisa, which helps us to date it more precisely to around 1503."The young woman with the ambiguous half smile has been identified as Lisa Gherardini, wife of Florentine merchant Francesco de Giocondo. She had five children.
"People always wrote that Mona Lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders. This greatly surprised historians because letting your hair hang freely during the Renaissance was typical of young girls and women of poor virtue (美德)," he said.
The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo’s painting techniques, which the artist used to create a hazy (朦胧的) effect. But scientist John Taylor said the team had been disappointed by the lack of brush stroke(笔触)detail on the painting.According to the latest research, Mona Lisa was __________.
A.a woman of poor virtue | B.da Vinci’s second wife |
C.a woman who was pregnant | D.the wife of Florentine merchant |
We can infer from the test that ___________.
A.The research has been carried out in France |
B.Mona Lisa was painted in 1503 at the latest |
C.In da Vinci’s time women could only wear short hair |
D.the most difficulty is to identify the paint layers |
What is probably the best title for the test?
A.Mona Lisa ,the Mysterious Woman |
B.Mona Lisa was a New Mother |
C.Great Discovery in Painting |
D.Leonardo’s Painting Technique |
The information reported in the text was first got from _______________.
A.a newspaper | B.the Internet |
C.a news conference | D.the museum |
