A free, accessible exhibition about Nelson Mandela, marking what would have been his 100th birthday, is such an indisputably good thing, it seems mean-spirited to even try to assess it critically, as if to do so were to take issue with the South African figurehead himself.
Mandela is the model of a wise, benign, dignified statesman, and the world could certainly do with more of those right now. Barack Obama pointed this out last week in Johannesburg. Giving the annual Mandela lecture, he contrasted the progressive democratic triumphs of the 1990s—such as South Africa and the collapse of the Soviet Union—with the present climate of tribalism, resentment and " strongman politics ". Addressing Mandela by his clan name, he said: " We have to follow Madiba’s example of persistence and of hope. "
Those looking to do so will find ample inspiration and ammunition at this show, even if the presentation is somewhat dry and dutiful. This is primarily a two-dimensional exhibition of text and photographic images, neatly designed and laid out across six walk around clusters of wall-sized panels, huddled together in the cavernous semi-cafe space of the Purcell Room.
Distilling a life as storied as Mandela’s into digestible chunks is a daunting task, but it has been done judiciously, combining biography with political context, plus personal episodes and anecdotes. Each set of panels addresses a phase of Mandela’s life and persona: character, comrade, leader, prisoner, negotiator, statesman.
It is a story of rags to riches
. The beginning " character" section includes Mandela’s recollection of donning his first pair of trousers—a novelty for a 1920s South African village boy—to go to school. His father simply put him in a pair of his own trousers, cut them at the knee and tied them with string.
From there, the story progresses through Mandela’s political awakening, his organised resistance to the apartheid regime and deepening involvement with the African National Congress, imprisonment for 27 years, and eventual release and election as South Africa’s first black president.
Which of the following title is NOT accurate to describe Nelson Mandela?
选项
A、A comrade.
B、A prisoner.
C、A negotiator.
D、A commander.
答案
D
解析
细节题。本题要从选项入手,通过观察选项定位到第四段最后一句:“每个板子都讲述了曼德拉生活和人格的一部分:性格、战友、领袖、囚犯、谈判者、政治家。”这里出现了很多对于曼德拉的描述,通过观察选项可以排除的是[D]“发号施令的人”,因此答案为[D]。
