2016届江苏宿迁宿豫中学高考英语专题复习精练：阅读理解（13）

　　[文章大意]文章为说明文，介绍了新年规划以及如何落实的问题。

　　1．D。考查词义猜测。综合第一段第一、二句话可知，时间飞快，你刚把假日装饰收起，又到了把它们拿出来的时候了，故画线词意为“装饰物”。

　　2．C。考查细节理解。文章第四段提到“If it turns out you have to move your

　　trip，fine，but at least you've got it on the calendar”可知，不管会不会改变行程，首先要将计划记录在日历上。

　　3．B。考查主旨大意。A、C、D选项分别是对第二、三、四段的归纳，只有B项具有概括性。

　　A nation mourns the loss of its former leader, Nelson Mandela, who has died after a long illness. Mandela was born on July 18,1918. When Mandela was nine, he was sent to live with his father's friend, a wealthy clan chief.

　　In school, Mandela learned about his ancestors' struggles with discrimination. He later traveled to Johannesburg, where he studied law and opened the country's first black law practice. He also joined the African National Congress, a group that fought for racial equality.

　　In 1948, the government introduced apartheid, which left the country's nonwhite majority with few economic opportunities. In response, Mandela traveled throughout South Africa and encouraged people to take part in nonviolent demonstrations against the government's racial segregation policies. He was arrested for organizing antigovernment activities and eventually sentenced to life in prison. “I have cherished the ideal of a free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities，” he said. “If needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” Mandela's imprisonment led to protests around the world and limits on trade against his country.
