　　(2024·阜新模拟)The advice offered from any other 82-year-olds might have made young people yawn and roll their eyes. But when former South African president Nelson Mandela advised two dozen local youth leaders in Los Angeles to take education seriously, his audience was listening.

　　The famed old man said to the young people that if they expected to improve the lives of others in the future, they must work at improving their own lives now.

　　“Education is one of the most important weapons you have, ” Mandela advised. “It will place you in a far better position to serve yourself and your community. ”

　　“The point is, he was young once and rebellious once and he kept his dream alive, just as you each have dreams, ” explained South Africa’s ambassador to the United States, Sheila Sisulu, as she introduced Mandela to the young crowd.

　　Asked for specific advice about changing society by 21-year-old Ahmed Younis, Mandela suggested that somehow helping arouse more American interest in foreign affairs might be a start.

　　“There is an impression that Americans, in general, have not followed international developments properly, ” Mandela said. “I’m not making that statement myself, but there are serious political analysts who say Americans are not well informed as to what has happened in the world. ”

　　22-year-old Omari Trice said Mandela left him full of enthusiasm. “He’s a person who set the tone for an entire nation, ” said Trice. “You come away feeling you need to be a superman in order to get things done. ” (230W)

　　【知识拓展】小心 “抽象地点” 名词

　　(1)误导原因

　　一般情况下position, situation, stage, job等词并不表地点; 表 “地点” 的名词通常是比较明显地含地点意义的名词, 如factory, farm, school等。

　　(2)去伪存真

　　当position, situation, stage, job等词在句中表示抽象的地点, 且其后的定语从句中又缺少地点状语时, 应用where引导定语从句。

　　(3)思维定势

　　当上述抽象的地点名词作先行词时, 若定语从句中缺少主语或宾语, 则使用which或that。如上述题干作如下改动, 答案便选D。

　　In time we reached a stagewas of vital importance to our reading.

　　15.【解析】选B。句意:贝蒂现在对这首诗表现出浓厚的兴趣, 但是她第一次读这首诗时, 认为它很乏味。the first time “第一次……” , 可以用作从属连词引导时间状语从句。at the first time “在第一次” , for the first time “第一次” , at first “起初” , 这几个介词短语皆只能在句中作状语, 不能引导状语从句。
