After the very active and successful tenure (任职) of office by the Senegalese President as the head of the Organization of African Unity, it was highly logical to think that the successor, whoever he might be, would have a difficult task in doing a better job.
The Congolese president set to work as soon as he was elected. His first step was to suggest to the dean of heads of State present in the Ethiopian capital, President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, to summon a meeting of the leaders of countries that lie close to South Africa. Its aim: to define a strategy in order to overcome the reprisals (报复行为) that the racist regime of Pretoria is likely to take against its neighbors in case sanctions (制裁) are imposed by the international community.
President Sassou Ngueso has already undertaken a number of trips abroad. He thus went to Harare (Zimbabwe) where he delivered a speech, on September 1, on behalf of Africa before the summit meeting of non-aligned (不结盟的) nations.
At the end of September, he was in New York, for a statement before the General Assembly of the United Nations, and then in Washington, for talks with high-ranking members of the Reagan Administration. He then went to Ottawa, for consultations with leading members of the Canadian government.
The Congolese president’s aim, in all these endeavors, is to convince still reluctant countries of the imperious necessity of imposing sanctions against the racist regime of Pretoria.

【考查点】词汇推断题。
【解题思路】根据题干关键词successor可以定位到文章“After the very active and successful tenure of office by the Senegalese President as the head of the Organization of African Unity, it was highly logical to think that the successor, whoever he might be, would have a difficult task in doing a better job.（在塞内加尔总统作为非洲统一组织负责人任职期间非常活跃且成功之后，人们很自然地认为，无论继任者是谁，要想做得更好都会是一项艰巨的任务。）”，由此可知，塞内加尔总统作为非洲统一组织的负责人任职期间非常活跃且成功。接着提到，认为无论“successor”是谁，要想做得更好都会是一项艰巨的任务。可推断“successor”在文中指的是“后续将接任这个职位的人”。因此C选项“将要领导这个组织的人”正确。
【干扰项排除】
A选项“在政治生涯中取得成功的人”、B选项“在政治舞台上非常受欢迎的人”和D选项“该组织的前任负责人”均不是“successor”所代表的意思，属于曲解原文。
第2题:
【选项释义】
According to the passage, Denis Sassou Nguesso ______. 根据文章，丹尼斯•萨苏•恩格索______。
A. is Congolese A. 是刚果人
B. knew that it was very difficult for him to be elected B. 知道他很难当选
C. was elected without any opposition C. 当选时没有任何反对意见
D. has held a meeting in the Ethiopian capital D. 在埃塞俄比亚首都举行了会议
【考查点】细节事实题。
【解题思路】根据题干关键词Denis Sassou Nguesso可以定位到文章第三段第一句“President Sassou Ngueso has already undertaken a number of trips abroad.（萨苏•恩格索总统已经进行了多次海外访问。）”，结合上一段第一句提到“The Congolese president set to work as soon as he was elected.（刚果总统一当选就开始工作。）”可知，萨苏•恩格索是刚果总统，说明他是刚果人。因此A选项“是刚果人”正确。
【干扰项排除】
B选项“知道他很难当选”和C选项“当选时没有任何反对意见”在文中没有提及，属于无中生有；
D选项“在埃塞俄比亚首都举行了会议”，根据文章第二段第二句“His first step was to suggest to the dean of heads of State present in the Ethiopian capital, President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, to summon a meeting of the leaders of countries that lie close to South Africa.（他的第一步是向在埃塞俄比亚首都出席会议的国家元首领袖、赞比亚总统肯尼斯•卡翁达建议召开一次与南非毗邻的国家领导人会议。）”可知，在埃塞俄比亚首都参加会议的是赞比亚总统肯尼斯•卡翁达而不是萨苏•恩格索，属于张冠李戴。

【选项释义】
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? 下列哪项在文章中没有提到？

B. President Sassou Nguesso made a suggestion to President Kenneth Kaunda that a meeting be held of the leaders of countries that lie close to South Africa. B. 萨苏•恩格索总统向肯尼斯•卡翁达总统建议召开一次与南非毗邻的国家领导人会议。

D. If sanctions are imposed against South Africa by the international community, the racist regime of Pretoria will probably take revenge on its neighbors. D. 如果国际社会对南非实施制裁，比勒陀利亚的种族主义政权可能会报复其邻国。
【考查点】细节事实题。
【解题思路】根据文章第二段第二句“His first step was to suggest to the dean of heads of State present in the Ethiopian capital, President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, to summon a meeting of the leaders of countries that lie close to South Africa.（他的第一步是向在埃塞俄比亚首都出席会议的国家元首之一的赞比亚总统肯尼斯•卡翁达建议召开一次与南非毗邻的国家领导人会议。）”可知，萨苏•恩格索总统向肯尼斯•卡翁达总统建议召开一次与南非毗邻的国家领导人会议，因此B选项与原文内容相符；根据文章第三段第二句“He thus went to Harare (Zimbabwe) where he delivered a speech…（因此，他去了哈拉雷（津巴布韦），并在那里发表了演讲……）”可知，萨苏•恩格索总统前往哈拉雷并发表了讲话，因此C选项与原文内容相符；根据文章第二段最后一句“Its aim: to define a strategy in order to overcome the reprisals that the racist regime of Pretoria is likely to take against its neighbors in case sanctions are imposed by the international community.（其目的是确定一项战略，以便在国际社会实施制裁的情况下，克服比勒陀利亚种族主义政权可能对其邻国采取的报复。）”可以推断，如果国际社会对南非实施制裁，比勒陀利亚的种族主义政权是有可能会报复其邻国的，因此D选项与原文内容相符。综上所述可知，B、C、D选项在文中均有提及且与原文内容相符，故可排除，只有A选项“萨苏•恩格索总统决定访问尽可能多的非洲国家。”在文中没有提到，A选项正确。
【干扰项排除】
B选项“萨苏•恩格索总统向肯尼斯•卡翁达总统建议召开一次与南非毗邻的国家领导人会议。”、C选项“萨苏•恩格索总统前往哈拉雷并发表讲话。”和D选项“如果国际社会对南非实施制裁，比勒陀利亚的种族主义政权可能会报复其邻国。”在文中均有提及，属于反向干扰。
第4题:

A. prove himself a trustworthy president A. 证明自己是一个值得信赖的总统

D. seek financial support from some advanced countries to promote African economy D. 寻求一些发达国家的财政支持，促进非洲经济发展
【考查点】细节事实题。
【解题思路】根据文章最后一段“The Congolese president’s aim, in all these endeavors, is to convince still reluctant countries of the imperious necessity of imposing sanctions against the racist regime of Pretoria.（这位刚果总统所有的努力是为了使仍然不情愿的国家相信，对比勒陀利亚种族主义政权实施制裁的迫切必要性。）”可知，萨苏•恩格索总统一直非常努力工作的目的是：说服一些不情愿的国家使其相信，对比勒陀利亚的种族主义政权实施制裁是非常必要的。因此B选项“让一些不情愿的国家相信，对比勒陀利亚种族主义政权实施制裁是非常必要的”正确。
【干扰项排除】
A选项“证明自己是一个值得信赖的总统”、C选项“向全世界展示非洲统一组织的实力和力量”和D选项“寻求一些发达国家的财政支持，促进非洲经济发展”在文中均没有提及，属于无中生有。
第5题:
【选项释义】
This piece is most probably taken from ______. 这幅作品很可能来自______。
A. a newspaper report A. 一篇报刊报道
B. a biography B. 一本传记
C. a history book C. 一本历史书
D. a Who’s Who D. 一本名人录
【考查点】推理判断题。
【解题思路】结合全文可知，文章的内容涉及刚果总统萨苏•恩格索的一系列国际活动和外交努力，这些都是典型的新闻报道主题。文章的结构和语言也符合新闻报道的风格，即提供具体事件、日期、地点和相关政治人物的信息，本文语言平直通俗，笔调比较客观。这些特点都是报刊报道的典型特征。故可以推断这篇文章可能来自报刊报道，因此A选项“一篇报刊报道”正确。
【干扰项排除】
B选项“一本传记”，虽然文中提到了刚果总统萨苏•恩格索和他的活动，但并没有深入探讨这个人的个人生活、成长背景或详细的历史贡献，这些是传记所特有的。文章更侧重于近期的活动和声明，而不是一个人的完整生命历程。故将其归类为传记是不准确的，属于出处错误；
C选项“一本历史书”，历史书籍通常包含更广泛的时间范围和更多的背景信息，以及事件的长期影响和意义。这篇文章集中在一个特定时间段内的活动，更符合新闻报道的性质，而不是历史书籍的深入分析，属于出处错误；
D选项“一本名人录”，“Who’s Who”是一个包含简短个人简历和成就的目录。这篇文章的内容和长度都超出了这种格式的范围。此外，“Who’s Who”通常不包括个人的具体活动或新闻事件，而是更关注于个人的职业概况和一般成就。故将其归类为“Who’s Who”是不准确的，属于出处错误。
