罗本岛(Robben Island)位于南非西开普省桌湾中,是南大西洋上的一座小岛,面积13平方公里,距南非立法首都开普敦11公里。从17世纪开始,罗本岛成为殖民者关押土著反抗运动首领的地方。 罗本岛先后关押过3 000多名黑人运动领袖和积极分子。1964年6月,曼德拉被当时南非白人政府判处终身监禁,开始在罗本岛服刑,直至1982年才被转移到波尔斯摩尔监狱。
THE REST OF ELIAS’ STORY
You cannot imagine①how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from which no one escaped②. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I

天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
got there Nelson Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning.He taught us during the lunch breaks③ and the evenings when we should have been④ asleep. We read books under our blankets⑤and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later,Mr Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us.He said they should not be stopped from⑥ studying for their degrees⑦. They were not cleverer than me, but they did⑧pass their exams. So I knew I could get a degree too.That made me feel good about myself⑨.
◆from which在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词a prison, from与从句的谓语动词escaped搭配。escape from表示“从……逃走”。
◆who在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词those of us。
◆when在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词the lunch breaks and the evenings。
◆we could find是省略了关系词that的定语从句,修饰先行词anything。因为此处先行词anything为不定代词,故关系词应用that。
◆made me feel good about myself为“make+宾语+宾补”结构。
When I finished the four years in prison⑩, I went to find a job. Since I was better educated⑪, I got a job working in an office. However, the police found out⑫and told my boss that I had been in prison for blowing up government buildings. So I lost my job. I did not work again for twenty years until Mr Mandela and the ANC came to power⑬in 1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg⑭for food and help from relatives⑮or friends.Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on R obben Island. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group. All the terror⑯and fear⑰of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatings⑱and the cruelty⑲of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward⑳after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now I am proud to6 show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.
◆Since I was better educated为since引导的原因状语从句,since意为“因为,既然,由于”。主句中的working in an office作job的同位语,解释说明job的内容。
◆本句包含not...until...引导的时间状语从句,not...until...意为“直到……才……”。
◆taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island作job的同位语,解释说明job的内容。
◆此处the first time用作连词,引导时间状语从句,意为“第一次……”。

伊莱亚斯的故事(续篇)
你无法想象罗本岛这个名字听起来多么令我们恐惧。那是一座任何人都逃不出去的监狱。在那里我度过了我一生中最艰苦的岁月。但是我到那儿时,纳尔逊·曼德拉也在那儿,他帮助了我。曼德拉先生为我们当中那些几乎没有上过学的人开办了学校。他在午休以及晚上我们本来该睡觉的时间教我们。我们躲在毯子下面读书,用可以找到的任何东西制成蜡烛来看清书上的字。我成了一名好学生。我想为我的学位而学习,但不被允许那样做。之后,曼德拉先生让狱卒和我们一起学习。他说他们不该被阻止为学位而学习。他们并不比我聪明,但确实通过了考试。因此我知道我也能拿到学位。那让我感觉不错。
在监狱里服完四年的刑之后,我去找工作。因为我受过比较好的教育,我得到了一份坐办公室的工作。然而警察发现并告诉了我的老板我因炸毁政府大楼而坐过牢。于是我失业了。在曼德拉先生和非国大于1994年掌权之前,我有20年没有再工作。在那段时期,我的妻儿只得从亲戚朋友那儿讨饭吃,并乞求帮助。幸亏曼德拉先生还记得我,并给了我一份工作,让我带旅行团去参观罗本岛上(我待过的)那座旧监狱。第一次给旅行团讲解时,我感觉很糟。我想起了那时所有的恐怖和害怕。我记起了狱卒的殴打和暴行以及我那些死去的朋友。我觉得我做不了这份工作,但是我的家人鼓励我。他们说,从南非新政府得到的这份工作和薪水是我毕生为争取黑人的平等权利而斗争所得到的回报。所以现在我很骄傲地给参观者介绍有关监狱的情况,因为我曾为争取我们的人民在自己的土地上的自由而出过力。

In the state of Maryland, a girl was born into slavery in 1820.Her parents named her Araminta Harriet Ross.She was to become Harriet Tubman.She was one of about one million Africans in slavery in the United States.
From the age of five, Harriet Tubman’s owners made her work very hard.First, she cared for the child of the farm owner.Then, she did hard work on large farms.
Although she could not read or write, Tubman learned from her parents to do what was right.Through her whole life, Tubman put herself in danger to help other people.
One such act changed her life when she was 13 years old.Because she helped another slave, her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head.She was badly hurt.For the rest of her life, Tubman’s head wound caused problems for her.
When she was about 25 years old, Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman.But she was still a slave.Her life was so difficult that she decided to escape.She travelled for 145 kilometres, and finally crossed into the North.Tubman became a free woman.

But Tubman could not leave her family enslaved in the South.So she travelled back to help them escape as well.Then, she made many trips and guided about 300 slaves to freedom.Tubman also fought bravely in the American Civil War and in 1865 slavery was not allowed in the U.S.
Harriet Tubman died in 1913.Her memory brings hope to many people—especially to those who fight for justice (正义).She encouraged people to never give up.
“If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”

A.She was born a slave.
B.She was born in Africa.
C.She was taken to the U.S. by a slave trader.
D.She was sold to a farm owner when she was born.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的a girl was born into slavery可知,Harriet Tubman出生于奴隶家庭,也就意味着她一出生就是奴隶。
2.When she was 13 years old, Tubman ________.
A.planned to run away
B.helped a slave escape
C.fought bravely against her owner
D.was seriously wounded in her head
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的when she was 13 years old和her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head.She was badly hurt.可知,Tubman在13岁的时候,头部受到重创。
3.We can infer from the text that Tubman was ________.
A.honest and friendly
B.strong and helpful
C.lucky and careful
D.clever and polite
B 解析:推理判断题。根据文中对Tubman事迹的描述可知,作为奴隶的她受到非人的折磨,但她却凭借自己顽强的意志成功摆脱奴隶的身份,并且多次帮助其他奴隶获取自由。由此可知,B项准确概括了Tubman的品质。
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Africans’ Fight for Freedom
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
B.Harriet Tubman:From Slave to Hero
C.The History of Slavery in the United States
D.The American Civil War:The North Against the South
B 解析:标题归纳题。Harriet Tubman出身奴隶,但她渴望自由,最终逃到美国北方,获取新生。不仅如此,她还帮助无数黑奴奔向自由,成为了一名英雄。故B项作标题贴切。

2.E 解析:此空设于段首,引出下文。开头提出她的身体状况出现问题了,很严重,所以她才意识到要尽快戒烟。在此过程中,她得到了医生的建议和一个线上组织的支持,扔掉了打火机,开始更多地锻炼。
3.B 解析:此空设于段中,与前一句存在逻辑上的解释关系。前一句说她过上了她之前从来没有想过的生活,此句和后一句都是对前一句提到的那种生活的具体陈述。
4.D 解析:此空设于段中,是一个过渡句。前一句提到作为一位女性,希望能看起来漂亮是她戒烟的一部分原因,此空接着说她想要尽可能地看起来年轻、健康、漂亮,后一句指出,吸烟是不可能帮助她做到这些的。
5.A 解析:此空设于段尾,对本段进行总结。前面提到她希望她的故事可以鼓励其他人戒烟,最后一句总结,毕竟健康是最重要的。
