    20．UNITED NATIONS，December 19，2013 （Xinhua）--The United Nations held a special meeting to honor great Nelson Mandela，the former South African president who passed away on December 19，2013 at the age of 95，because Nelson Mandela is respected 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，although he spent 27 years in prison．
         Nelson Mandela，winning the nation's first all-race elections in 1994，stopped working completely in 1999．But he remains as popular as ever．His being popular has promoted the whole national industry．His picture has appeared at many places，including on some goods．His face has appeared on a South African coin，a business area was named in his honour and some business leaders hope to build a great statue in his honour---the Statue of Freedom．It would stand taller than New York's Statue of Liberty．
        His being popular is similar to that of John F．Kennedy in US or Winston Churchill in Britain，but few politicians in this times have achieved his level of being popular．Sometimes it isn't completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political career．He's 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，mainly 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 encourage their generations，"The Mail and Guardian Weekly said．"In our generation，the gods presented us Nelson Mandela．"

    8．The launch of the UK's biggest online university venture has the potential to"revolutionise conventional models of formal education"and keep UK ahead in the global race to deliver the best education，says universities minister David Willetts．
    The FutureLearn project will see more than 20 institutions enter the global market to offer massive open online courses，or Moocs．Until now，the US has led the way in the creation of Moocs，catering to an estimated 3 million learners worldwide with hundreds of courses from a range of top institutions．
    Bath，Exeter，Birmingham，Edinburgh and Warwick are among the 21 UK universities that have signed up．The British Library，British Museum and British Council will also make material available to students．The venture，set up by the Open University，is a response to the rise of Moocs and will offer students a new and innovative way to access courses，says Martin Bean vice-chancellor of the Open University．Bean said，"Time and again we have seen the impact the Internet can have on industries-driving innovation and enhancing the customer experience．I have no doubt Moocs will do the same for education-offering people new and exciting ways to learn．"
    A senior academic at University College London-which has chosen not to be involved in FutureLearn-has questioned whether the Mooc model is the best road for universities to go down．Although free for students，online courses have some downsides．Stephen Caddick，professor at the university，says students want flexibility above all．"Moocs are an online product of higher education currently experienced offline by a lot of students：inflexible"，said Caddick．"These courses are free to students，yet very expensive to develop for universities．"
    Simon Nelson，CEO of FutureLearn，said university partners see this opportunity as"money extremely well spent"，helping them to boost their global profile and encourage experimentation and innovation within university departments．According to Nelson，FutureLearn will continue to expand its number of partners both in the UK and overseas，as well as develop its commercial model，which in the future could see students paying to take exams and purchase extra course material．
    （Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS．）
    78．Besides revolutionizing traditional educational models，FutureLearn has the potential toto keep UK ahead in the global race to deliver the best education．
    79．How many learners all over the world have benefited from the online courses offered by American universities？an estimated 3 million learners
    80．What are the two downsides of online courses mentioned by Stephen Caddic？These courses are inflexible and expensive to developfor unversities．
    81．What is the plan for FutureLearn according to Nelson？to expand its number of partnersand develop its commercial model．

    5．It was 1：30 a．m．Monday at London's Savoy Hotel and，with autograph books and cameras，a group of brighteyed tennis fans of all ages were waiting for just a glimpse of Maria Sharapova（莎拉波娃）．
        The 17-year-old girl defeated champion Serena Williams（威廉姆斯） 6-1 6-4 in the Wimbledon（温网）final on Saturday in London to become the first Russian to win a single title at the championships．
        A silver lining to a depressing，rain-hit Wimbledon，she has raised heated passion．
        Nobody was complaining，though，for the 1.83-metre Sharapova has created a welcome wave of interest in tennis，something missing in recent years．
        Not even Anna Kournikova（库尔尼科娃）evoked（唤起） such passion when she broke on to the scene．To look good on court is one thing，but Sharapova can actually play the game too．Extremely well．
        She proved it over 13 days at the world's most prestigious tournament．Playing tennis of the highest quality throughout，the Russian's triumph not only lifted the tournament from fits of rain-induced depression but also salvaged（拯救；挽回） the season for the woman's tour．
        Sharapova was given no easy ride in the tournament，having to beat 1999 champion Lindsay Davenport（达文波特）in the semifinals and twice-champion Serena Williams for the title．Neither caused her much concern．
    "I don't remember too much about the final，"Sharapova giggled．"I was in my own place．"
        She will find it increasingly hard to find any place to call her own from now on after advertisers identified her as the most marketable woman in sport．
        In Russia she is sensational news．She headlined the news bulletins and was telephoned by former Russian President Boris Yeltsin after her triumph．
       Sharapova will return to her adoptive Florida home knowing life will never be the same again．
        But the girl who arrived in the US aged seven with her father and just US$700 is determined not to let fame and riches detract from her number one love，tennis．
    "I know things will start coming up and that many more things will want to get involved，but I want to keep my head cool and play tennis，"she said．
    61．Why is Savoy Hotel mentioned in the passage？C
    A．Because the good-looking Kournikova would break on to the scene．
    B．Because the fans wanted to take a picture of Sharapova．
    C．Because Sharapova was expected to appear there．
    D．Because it gave the fanatics shelter from the rain．
    62．Who has won the most times in Wimbledon？C
    A．Sharapova．B．Kournikova．C．Serena Williams．D．Davenport
    63．Before Sharapova，there was（were）DRussian（s） who had won the title．
    A．Four．B．Two．C．One．D．No．
    64．Which of the following statements about this year's Wimbledon is RIGHT？A
    A．The rain caused depression in the tournament．
    B．Sharapova beat the 17-year-old Serena Williams with a silver lining．
    C．Sharapova won the title without effort．
    D．Lindsay Davenport met Sharapova in the final and lost the title．
    65．What can be inferred from the passage？B
    A．Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin will phone Sharapova for her success．
    B．It's not easy for Sharapova to keep herself away from the advertisers．
    C．Sharapova doesn't like fame or riches．
    D．Sharapova will continue to live a quiet life in her second homeland-Florida．

    10．There are many reasons that goals go unfulfilled．For many，goal setting is a never ending circle that starts，stops，and begins again．To help us succeed in reaching our goals，let's examine the reasons why many people fail at reaching them．Here are 7Reasons That You   Won't Reach Your Goals：
    1．You Don't Have Any Goals
    Too many people are afraid to"set"their goals．Afraid of failing．Afraid of disappointment．Well，you definitely won't complete them if you don't try．Make a choice and set your goals．Otherwise you will end up wherever life takes you．
    2．You Don't Start
    OK，so you have a goal．What have you done about it？Have you started it yet？What are you waiting for？Procrastination is responsible for the failure of many goals．
    3．You Aren't Willing to"Buy"Your Goals
    Yes，you have to buy your goals．Why？Because every goal has a price．It has a cost．Time．Money．Sweat．Sacrifice．You will have to"pay"for your goals in some manner．
    4．Your Goals Are Unrealistic．
    Make sure that your goals are possible and that you set an adequate time frame for success．
    5．You Won't Stick With It
    Over half of goals will be given up within 30days．You set your goals．You started them．And then…you gave up．Are you using life's daily happenings as excuses？Goals are not   reached through one effort．Rather，they are made in small steps over time．
    6．You Will Fail…And You Won't Get Back Up!
    No one succeeds immediately．Those who appear to have effortlessly succeeded have usually put in years of preparation and practice．You have to fall down many times before you will succeed．Skill is learned by doing．
    7．You Quit Before The Finish Line
    Too many people stop…right before the finish line．It's almost like they are afraid of succeeding．Often a life event is used as the reason for not finishing．Something always comes up before you finish．
    Are you reaching your goals？Which of these is keeping you from succeeding？Set your goals．Stay the course．Always get back up when you fail．And make sure you cross the finish line．
    67．What's the author's purpose of writing this passage？C
    A．To remind people of the importance of setting life goals．
    B．To convince people of keeping to their life goals．
    C．To clarify the reasons leading to the failure of achieving goals．
    D．To persuade people to have big life goals．
    68．What's the probable meaning of the underlined word"procrastination"in the second tip？B
    A．hesitation     B．delay       C．importance       D．contradiction
    69．According to the passage，you will not reach you goals，if youB．
    A．are not willing to spend money seeking helping hands．
    B．do not take time to make plans for them．
    C．do not let life take you where it goes．
    D．are not afraid of succeeding．
    70．What can be learned from the sixth tip？D
    A．He who has hope has everything．
    B．Two heads are better than one．
    C．Practice makes perfect．
    D．Keeping up contributes to success．
