答案

小题1:D小题2:B小题3:C小题4:A

解析

小题1:事实细节题。根据短文第一段的意思，纳尔逊·曼德拉正在关注着新的敌人——艾滋病。但这并不意味着他成功地控制了艾滋病的蔓延。小题2:事实细节题。根据文章第三段He was adopted (收养) by the chief of his tribe (部族) and could have been a chief himlf and lived a happy country life.可选出答案。小题3:细节推断题。根据短文第一段和最后一段，尤其是“he cho music as his weapon against AIDS”一句可知：他正在参与全人类最大的战斗——控制艾滋病。小题4:细节推测题。根据全文的意思可知：纳尔逊·曼德拉为南非黑人争取平等的权利奋斗了一生，总统退职之后，他又进行一场新的战斗，向艾滋病宣战。由此推测，“生命不熄，战斗不止”最能描写他的一生。
