  • 2.These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before.They were brave hostile(懷敵意的) and aggressive.They would not take orders and shouted "Amandla!" at every opportunity.Their instinct was to confront(對抗)rather than cooperate. The authorities①did not know how to handle them and they turned the island upside down.During the Rivonia Trial,I remarked to a security policeman that if the government did not reform itself, the freedom fighters who would take our place②would some-day make the authorities miss us.That day had indeed come on Robben Island.
       In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times.I had had some warning.On a visit with Winnie a few months before she had managed to tell me through our coded conversation that there was a rising class of discontented youths③who were violent and Africanist in beliefs.She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them.
       The new prisoners were shocked by what they considered the inhuman conditions of the island and said that they could not understand how we could live in such a way.We told them that they should have seen the island in 1964.But they were almost as sceptical of us as they were of the authorities.They chose to ignore our calls for discipline and thought our advice weak and unassertive (不果斷).
       It was obvious that they regarded us the Rivonia Trialists④, as moderates⑤(溫和派).After so many years of being branded a radical (激進的) revolutionary to be seen as a moderate was a novel and not altogether pleasant feeling.I knew that I could react in one of two ways:I could scold them for their disrespect or I could listen to what they were saying.I chose the latter.
       Then some of these men such as Strini Moodley of the South African Students' Organization and Saths Cooper of the Black People's Convention came into our section,________.
       Shortly after their arrival on the island the commanding officer came and asked me as a favour to address the young men.He wanted me to tell them to behave themselves to recognize the fact that they were in prison and to accept the discipline of prison life.I told him that I was not prepared to do that.Under the circumstances they would have regarded me as a follower of the authorities.
    (-adapted from "Long walk to freedom:The autobiography of Nelson Mandela')
    (1)We may infer from the passage all of the following EXCEPT that
    .
    A.a(chǎn)n angry massive revolution was probably on its way
    B.the author's activities were strictly monitored
    C.many were concerned about the influence these young men could make
    D.these young men were willing to cooperate in face of difficulties
    (2)Sentences are missing in blank regarding the author's following reactions.Which of the following reactions do you think he would have?

    A.I tried to calm them down and talked them into behaving.
    B.I reported to the officers about their dissatisfaction.
    C.I asked them to tell us about their movement and beliefs.
    D.I just turned a deaf ear to the young men.
    (3)Several phrases have been underlined and numbered in the passage;which two of them actually refer to the same people?

    A. ①②
    B. ②③
    C. ③④
    D. ⑤①

  • 3.The event that stands out in my memory happened one morning in 1983 when I was 14 years old.I was at home with my mother,getting ready for the afternoon session of school.
       I was doing my homework when I heard raised voice.At first I thought nothing of it---customers in the motorcycle shop directly below us often became unruly and loud,but I soon realized this was different.
       "Quick!Remove the motorcycle from the shop." someone yelled.
       Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When I opened the front door of our flat to investigate,a thick cloud of smoke,billowing up from the ground floor,greeted me.The motorcycle shop had caught fire.
       My mum,who had been working in the kitchen,hurried to the living room.We rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke.
       We were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Mum stopped in her tracks.She turned around and headed back the way we came.I had no idea what she was doing,but I followed suit.
       Mum had suddenly remembered the Korean lady in her 70s who lived next door to us,who we called Makcik.Mum began banging on her door,but to no avail.As the smoke thickened around us,I could see many of our neighbors---some still in their pajamas----running for safety.
       "She would have run for safety like everyone else!" I cried.
       Mum refused to give up. "I know she is still inside," she said as she pounded the door. "Go downstairs,Shaji.Go now!"
       However,frozen with fear,I stood rooted to the spot.By then,both of us were coughing and our eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still,though we were probably there for only two or three minutes.
       Just as I was beginning to choke,the door opened.Makcik stood there,totally confused.Mum was right---she had been unaware of what was happening.Grabbing her hand,Mum led Makcik downstairs and outside to a safe spot where people had gathered to witness the fire.
       The firemen had just arrived and set about fighting the blaze,which was reaching up to the second floor above the motorcycle shop.
       Comprehending the gravity of the situation,Makcik broke down.Holding my mother's hands tightly,and with tears flowing down her cheeks,she spoke to Mum.I could not hear what she said,but there was no mistaking her gratitude.I learned later that Makcik was sleeping when the fire broke out.
       I dread to think what would have happened if Mum had not turned back for her.
       Soon the firemen put out the billowing flames.There were no deaths and injuries,though the motorcycle shop was completely destroyed.
       Although the fire had damaged our corridor badly,it was put out before it could spread into our flat.Our home had been saved,though everything was covered in soot and an awful smell hung in the air.And,sadly,my pet lovebirds were dead.
       I felt terrible for not saving them in my haste.However,the thought of Mum's courageous act in saving a human life brought great relief.
       Years later,I asked Mum about this incident.She said that she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.When I asked if she was scared,Mum replied,"When a loved one is in danger,the thought of fear never crosses the mind."
       During my school days,whenever I wrote an essay about courageous deeds,I always focused on soldiers risking their lives to save others.It never occurred to me to write my mum who had,in her determined way,saved our elderly neighbor.Today I know better.Maria Thomas,a timid and modest lady,someone who would not be mistaken for a superhero,had turned out to be my real hero.

    (1)It can be inferred from the passage that
    .
    A.the author knew nothing about the Korean lady living next door
    B.no damage was caused because the fire was put out immediately
    C.firemen made no attempt to rescue those trapped in the building
    D.Makcik survived the big fire owing to my mum's timely rescue
    (2)Receiving no response from Makcik,Mum refused to leave because
    .
    A.she was sure that the fire wouldn't threaten her life
    B.she knew for sure Makcik was indoors,sleeping
    C.she was informed that Makcik was in desperate need of help
    D.she was convinced that Makcik was too scared to move
    (3)What does the underlined part "to no avail" most probably mean?

    A.to one's disappointment
    B.worse still
    C.without success
    D.in one's absence
    (4)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

    A.My mother:a superhero
    B.The fire:an unforgettable experience
    C.The firefighting:a thrilling story
    D.My neighbor:a narrow escape
