    第1篇
    Milosevic’s Death
    Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Saturday in his cell at the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The 64-year-old had been on trial there since February 2002.
    Born in provincial Pozarevac in 1941, he was the second son of a priest and a school teacher. Both of his parents died when he was still a young adult. The young Milosevic was “untypical”, says Slavoljub Djukic, his unofficial biographer. He was “not interested in sports, and avoided excursions and used to come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way – white shirt and tie.” One of his friends said, he could “imagine him as a station-master or punctilious civil servant”.
    Indeed that is exactly what he might have become, had he not married Mira. She was widely believed to be his driving force.
    At university and beyond he did well. He worked for various firms and was a communist party member. By 1986 he was head of Sebia’s Committer. But still he had not yet really been noticed.
    It was Kosovo that gave him his chance. An autonomous province of Serbia, Kosovo was home to an Albanian majority and a Serbian minority. In 1989, he was sent there to calm fears of Serbians who felt they were discriminated against. But instead he played the nationalist card and became their champion. In so doing, he changed into a ruthless and determined man. At home with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies. Conspiring with the director of Serbian TV, he mounted a modern media campaign which aimed to get him the most power in the country.
    He was elected Serbian president in 1990. In 1997, he became president of Yugoslavia. The rest of the story is well-known: his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fight for their own rights, power and lands. Yugoslavia broke up when four of the six republics declared independence in 1991. war started and lasted for years and millions died. Then Western counties intervened. NATO bombed Yugoslavia, and he eventually stepped down as state leader in 2000.
    Soon after this, Serbia’s new government, led by Zoran Djindjic, arrested him and sent him to face justice at the Yugoslav was crimes tribunal in the Hague.

    解析:1. Milosevic(米洛舍維奇)’s Death
    1. B。 解析:?jiǎn)栴}問(wèn)“米洛舍維奇在哪里去世的?”該題是細(xì)節(jié)題,問(wèn)題問(wèn)及米洛舍維奇的去世, 因此關(guān)注文章開(kāi)頭部分涉及到米洛舍維奇去世的句子(方法:利用問(wèn)題句中的細(xì)節(jié)詞die及其相關(guān)詞(death, dead(死的, 廢棄了的,完全地), pass away(去世))作為答案線索, 在文章中查找答案相關(guān)句)。
    提示:文章后面的細(xì)節(jié)題一般按照文章的發(fā)展順序涉及。
    Former(以前的, 從前的) Yugoslav (南斯拉夫的)leader(領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人) Slobodan (史洛波登)Milosevic was found (被發(fā)現(xiàn))dead last(最近的, 最后的,持續(xù)) Saturday(星期天) in his cell(單身牢房)at the Hague(海牙)-based (位于...的,以...為基礎(chǔ)的)International(國(guó)際的) Criminal (犯罪的)Tribunal(法庭)for the former Yugoslavia.
    答案相關(guān)句在文章開(kāi)頭的第一句:該句說(shuō)“米洛舍維奇在位于海牙的前南斯拉夫國(guó)際刑事法庭的牢房里去世”。因此B是答案。
    2.D. 解析:?jiǎn)栴}問(wèn)“有關(guān)年輕的米洛舍維奇的事情下列哪個(gè)說(shuō)法不正確?”該問(wèn)題也是細(xì)節(jié)題,因此順著上一題的位置放下查找答案相關(guān)句(方法:利用問(wèn)題句中的細(xì)節(jié)信息詞young Milosevic作為答案線索詞):
    (第2段) Born (出生的)in provincial(省的) Pozarevac in 1941, he was the second son of a priest(牧師) and a school teacher(教師). Both of his parents died when he was still a young adult. The young Milosevic was “untypical” (與C一致), says Slavoljub Djukic, his unofficial(非官方的) biographer(傳記作者). He was “not interested in sports(與B一致), and avoided(避免) excursions(游覽,短途旅行)and used to (過(guò)去常常)come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way(與A一致)– white shirt and tie.” One of (一個(gè))his friends(朋友) said, he could “imagine him as (把...想象成...)a station-master (車站站長(zhǎng)) or punctilious(拘泥于細(xì)節(jié)的,一絲不茍的) civil(公民的) servant(仆人)(公務(wù)員)”.
    (第3段)Indeed(確凳? that is exactly(正好, 精確地) what he might have become(本來(lái)可能成為), had he not married Mira(虛擬語(yǔ)氣(=if he hadn‘t married Mira):假設(shè)他當(dāng)時(shí)沒(méi)有與Mira結(jié)婚的話). She was widely(廣泛地) believed(認(rèn)為, 相信) to be his driving force(推動(dòng)力).
    第3段的答案相關(guān)句說(shuō)“人們普遍認(rèn)為Mira是米洛舍維奇的推動(dòng)力, 如果米洛舍維奇當(dāng)時(shí)沒(méi)有和Mira結(jié)婚的話, 他可能就是一個(gè)一絲不茍的公務(wù)員而已”, 根據(jù)這句話的內(nèi)容推斷出米洛舍維奇本人很可能并不是一個(gè)很有抱負(fù)的人, 因此D是答案。
    3.解析:該題問(wèn)“下列列舉的人中除了誰(shuí)以外, 其他的人都以這樣那樣的方式改變了他(米洛舍維奇)的命運(yùn)? ”。 該題又是細(xì)節(jié)題,借助被選項(xiàng)的特點(diǎn)(都是特征詞),分別利用每個(gè)被選項(xiàng)中的人名作為答案線索在文章中查找相對(duì)應(yīng)的答案相關(guān)句:
    Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Saturday in his cell at the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The 64-year-old had been on trial there since February 2002.
    Born in provincial Pozarevac in 1941, he was the second son of a priest and a school teacher. Both of(兩個(gè)) his parents died when he was still(仍然, 更, 靜止的) a young adult(成年人). The young Milosevic was “untypical”, says Slavoljub Djukic, his unofficial biographer. He was “not interested in sports, and avoided excursions and used to come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way – white shirt and tie.” One of his friends said, he could “imagine him as a station-master or punctilious civil servant”.
    Indeed that is exactly what he might have become, had he not married Mira. She was widely believed to be his driving force.
    At university and beyond he did well. He worked for various firms and was a communist party member. By 1986 he was head of Sebia’s Committer. But still he had not yet really been noticed.
    It was Kosovo that gave him his chance. An autonomous province of Serbia, Kosovo was home to an Albanian majority and a Serbian minority. In 1989, he was sent there to calm fears of Serbians who felt they were discriminated against. But instead he played the nationalist card and became their champion. In so doing, he changed into a ruthless and determined man. At home with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies. Conspiring with(與...謀劃) the director of Serbian TV, he mounted(建立, 設(shè)置) a modern (現(xiàn)代的)media(媒體)campaign (活動(dòng), 戰(zhàn)役) which aimed to(致力于) get him the most power(權(quán)力) in the country.
    He was elected Serbian president in 1990. In 1997, he became president of Yugoslavia. The rest of the story is well-known: his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fight for their own rights, power and lands. Yugoslavia broke up when four of the six republics declared independence in 1991. war started and lasted for years and millions died. Then Western counties intervened. NATO bombed Yugoslavia, and he eventually stepped down as state leader in 2000.
    Soon after this, Serbia(塞爾維亞)’s new government(政府), led by(由...帶領(lǐng)) Zoran Djindjic, arrested(逮捕) him and sent(送, 郵寄, 使處于(某種狀態(tài))) him to face(面對(duì)) justice (審判, 正義)at the Yugoslav(南斯拉夫的) war(戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)) crimes(罪行) tribunal(審判法庭) in the Hague(海牙).
    涉及到Mira 的答案相關(guān)句說(shuō)“Mira被認(rèn)為是米洛舍維奇的推動(dòng)力”, 因此Mira 對(duì)米洛舍維奇的命運(yùn)有影響作用;與Zoran Djindjic相關(guān)的答案相關(guān)句說(shuō)“在Zoran Djindjic的帶領(lǐng)下,塞爾維亞的新政府逮捕了米洛舍維奇”, 因此Zoran Djindjic影響著米洛舍維奇的命運(yùn); 與The director of Serbian TV相關(guān)的答案相關(guān)句說(shuō)“Serbian 電視臺(tái)的主任與米洛舍維奇共同密謀發(fā)起了致力于幫助米洛舍維奇獲得在那個(gè)國(guó)家里自大權(quán)利的現(xiàn)代媒體運(yùn)動(dòng)”, 顯然Serbian 電視臺(tái)的主任也影響著米洛舍維奇的命運(yùn), 因此答案為B(他的父母)。
    4.C. 解析:?jiǎn)栴}問(wèn)“為什么米洛舍維奇在1989年被派到科索沃?”,該題也是細(xì)節(jié)題,利用問(wèn)題句中的特征結(jié)構(gòu)(Kosovo(科索沃)和 in 1989)作為答案線索, 在文章中找到答案相關(guān)句:
    (第5段)It was Kosovo that gave(給) him his chance(機(jī)會(huì)). An autonomous (自治的)province(省) of Serbia(塞爾維亞), Kosovo was home to(是...的家園)an Albanian(阿爾巴尼亞人) majority(大多數(shù)人) and a Serbian(塞爾維亞) minority(少數(shù)人). In 1989, he was sent there to calm(平息,平靜的) fears(恐懼) of Serbians (塞爾維亞)who felt(認(rèn)為, 感覺(jué)) they were discriminated against(被歧視). But instead(代替) he played(玩,扮演, 播放 ) the nationalist(民族主義者) card (卡片, 紙牌)and became their champion(冠軍, 擁護(hù)者). In so doing, he changed into a ruthless and determined man. At home with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies. Conspiring with the director of Serbian TV, he mounted a modern media which aimed to get him the most power in the country.
    第5段中的第三句是直接答案相關(guān)句(兩個(gè)線索結(jié)構(gòu)都出現(xiàn)了), 該句說(shuō)“1989年, 他被派到那里(科索沃)去平息塞爾維亞人的恐懼感, 塞爾維亞人認(rèn)為自己受到了歧視”,顯然該句內(nèi)容與C一致,因此C是答案。
    5.A. 解析:?jiǎn)栴}句問(wèn)“1991年發(fā)生了什么事情?”該題也是細(xì)節(jié)題,借助題干中的特征結(jié)構(gòu)(in 1991)作為答案線索, 在文章中查找答案相關(guān)句(順著上一題的答案位置往下找):
    (倒數(shù)第2段) He was elected Serbian president in 1990. In 1997, he became president of Yugoslavia. The rest of the story is well-known: his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fight for their own rights, power and lands. Yugoslavia(南斯拉夫) broke up (分裂)when four of the six republics(共和國(guó)) declared(宣布) independence(獨(dú)立) in 1991. War (戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng))started (開(kāi)始, 爆發(fā))and lasted(持續(xù)) for years and millions(數(shù)百萬(wàn)) died(死亡). Then Western counties intervened. NATO bombed Yugoslavia, and he eventually stepped down as state leader in 2000.
    答案相關(guān)句說(shuō)“隨著6個(gè)共和國(guó)中的4個(gè)共和國(guó)宣布獨(dú)立,南斯拉夫變得四分五裂”, 該句內(nèi)容與A一致。
