The list of candidates for greatest men of the 20th century is as short as it is extraordinary.
Franklin Roosevelt is the obvious American 【C1】______. He guided the United States safely through the century’s gravest damages, the Great 【C2】______and World War II. His long lasting New Deal imprint still【C3】______America today.
Let us not forget giants of science like Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison. But the list would not be complete【C4】______ the name of Nelson Mandela, the【C5】______South African President who died on Thursday at 95. It’s hard to name anyone, anywhere, in any time whose life is quite a【C6】______for his.
Mandela led his people to freedom, ending the apartheid(种族隔离)rule of South Africa’s 【C7】______white-minority regime. But neither of those men,【C8】______ the others mentioned here, was put to such an extraordinary personal test.
All you need to know to grasp the【C9】______ of Mandela is this: He spent 27 years in prison. He was given no hope and allowed little【C10】______ with the outside world. Yet instead of yielding to his plight—or【C11】______his cause by speaking a few words that【C12】______ him free—he persisted, fighting against all odds and emerging 【C13】______, a leader of such stature that his 【C14】______could not stand against him.
And then, at his moment of【C15】______, with the presidency of South Africa in his hands, he 【C16】______not revenge for all that had been done to him【C17】______ racial peace for his people, black and white, which—incredibly—he achieved.
Such is the power of history’s few【C18】______ great leaders and the examples they set. If Mandela could suffer【C19】______he did without seeking revenge, then how could others do any less? And how could the nation’s fearful and suspicious white minority【C20】______the olive branch?
【C9】
选项
A、uniqueness
B、strangeness
C、characteristics
D、novelty
答案
A
解析
名词辨析题。上文提到没有人能与纳尔逊·曼德拉相媲美,也没有人经历过他那样的考验,那么此处应该填入[A]uniqueness,意为“独一无二,独特性”。[B]strangeness的意思是“奇怪,古怪”;[C]characteristics的意思是“特性,特征”;[D]novelty的意思是“新奇,新奇的事物”,均不符合文意,故排除。
