  Balzac was good at buying things at its lowest price. One day he wanted to buy a vase in a shop window that was much more expensive than he could offer. Not being able to make the shopkeeper cut down its price very much, he left without further talking. Collecting a half dozen of his friends, he explained his wish to them and they worked a plan. The first would enter the shop and make an offer, lower than the marked price. Not getting the vase at his price, he would walk out. Shortly after another would enter and ask for a price lower than the first. In this way, each of the others would offer a price lower than the one before, and the last of his friends made a great effort to attempt to get it at the lowest price. Before long Balzac himself would return, offer more than the last two or three persons made and trust to luck. The plan worked--- Balzac got the vase at his price!

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A vase in the window was placed much higher than Balzac could reach.

How does a place become a World Heritage Site ( 世界遗产 ) ? It takes a lot of people to decide.

1 )  If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO ( 联合国教科文组织 ) . The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.

2 )  The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.

3 )  After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the list of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.

4 )  Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn't taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.

  His first fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.

On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.

  Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted (收养) by the chief of his tribe (部族) and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.

  But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination ( 种族歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country's Racial Segregation Law (种族隔离法), colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.

  For his opposition (反对) to the system Mandela was arrested (被捕) and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and become the president of the country after the first elections were held in which everyone could vote.

  Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer (拳击手) and fought in the ring when he was young.

  “ Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat (撤退),” he wrote in his autobiography.

  As a skilful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.

67.  Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following except _____.

       A. winning the equal rights for the black people in South Africa

       B. uniting South Africa

       C. organizing a government in South Africa

       D. controlling the spread of AIDS

68.  If Nelson Mandela hadn't fought against racial discrimination, he _____.

       A. could easily have been the president of South Africa

       B. could still have lived a happy life

       C. could have been in a difficult situation

       D. would have been an excellent boxer

69.  It can be inferred that Nelson Mandela _____.

       A. continues to help the black people with the political struggle

       B. is taking a position in a music group

       C. is taking on the world's greatest fight against AIDS

       D. is preparing for the next election of president

70.  Which statement can best describe the life of Nelson Mandela?

       A. Struggle is his life.             B. Sports make his fame.

       C. Fight for equal rights.           D. Great fighter against government.

V. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Tuition（学费） for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition.­­­­­­­­ _____73_____, young doctors need a lot of money for their work. _____74_____. Therefore it is possible that the high cost of medical care in American is unnecessary. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, _____75_____.

It is possible for the poor people to see the doctor in America.

One way to lower costs would be to have medical schools that are free or have low tuition
