The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “very ill-informed” and a “loose cannon (乱放炮的人).”
The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: “This is a distraction we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help.”
Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.
To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards” a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding”.
For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.

答案
小题1:.A
小题1:.D
小题1:.D
小题1:.B
小题1:.B
解析
小题1:.D 语义题。第一段第三句她说她知道地雷炸伤人数的统计数字，当她面对着地雷的受害者，那被地雷炸掉一条腿的13岁的小女孩，以及其他类似的受害者时，使她对这严重的现实深信不疑。A项说相信统计数字，与原文中的现实相比，较片面。故A不是答案。B项的内容在原文不存在。C项的事实与原文不符。只有D项与文章内容一致，故D为答案。
小题1:.D 细节推论题。文章第三段第一句说，回到伦敦，戴安娜的观点得不到政府某些官员的赞同，因为他们拒绝支持禁止这些武器，愤怒的政治家甚至在报纸上攻击她。A项说因为出访前未与政府商量，与文章内容不符。B项说她不了解政府的方针政策，与原文也不符。D项说事实上政府官员们反对禁止地雷。与文章中他们拒绝支持禁止这些武器属同义转述。A项也与文章意思不符。故D为答案。
小题1:.B细节题。文章第四段首句，王妃对那些批评不予理睬。B项与文章内容完全吻合，故B为答案。
小题1:.B细节题。文章末段说，对王妃来说，安哥拉之行，是利用她的名望来展示地雷给人们造成的破坏与痛苦的一个极好的机会。她说：“这次经历，是她能够更近地接触人民和更近地了解他们的困境的机会”。B项说这使她更加靠近普通百姓与文章末段内容相同，故B为答案，其他诸项与文不符。

Japan will hand out its first “Nobel Prize of Manga (国际漫画奖)” for artists in the comic book field abroad. This i
s another step in Japan’s efforts to show the power of pop culture diplomacy.The International Manga Award, which was compared by manga lover Foreign Minister Taro Aso to a “Nobel Prize” when he first proposed it, will be given to an artist working abroad whose work best contributes to the spread of the manga form worldwide.
Manga, a name used for Japanese style comic books, often combines stories with drawing styles that differ from the overseas superhero comics and cartoon, particularly in their frequent emphasis on cuteness.
The winner will receive a certificate and a cup at an award ceremony, and will spend 10 days in Japan meeting with local comic book artists and publishers.
“Manga has been spreading overseas and are selling quite well,” Aso said when announcing the award to the public. “I want to further improve the communicative power of these so-called ‘pieces of pop culture’.”
Aso has argued that warm feelings for Japanese comics and cartoon can translate into warm feelings for Japanese foreign policy.
He has proposed sending cartoon artists overseas as cultural ambassadors and the government has named some officials to advise ways to promote Japanese cartoon and culture to foreign audiences.
The award committee, consisting of manga artists and publishers, is expected to make its selections quite soon.
According to a ministry official Nobuyuki Watanabe, the prize carries no money reward. The cup’s design has yet to be finished, but it will be something “appropriate”.

Swept up by mountainous tsunami（海啸）waves at a Thai resort ( 旅游胜地), she couldn"t hold on to both her young sons and survive. Fighting to stay above the waters, she had to choose which one would have to take his chances in the swirling torrent ( 漩流 ).
“I knew I had to let go of one of them and I just thought I’d better let go of the one that"s the older,” she told Sky News Television in a report broadcast on Thursday. She said she was accompanied by the two boys, Lachie, 5, and two-year-old Blake, and their father, Brad, who had watched the drama helplessly from their first-floor hotel room, when the waves struck. “and I was screaming, trying to find him, and we thought he was dead,” she told reporters on arrival back in Australia.
Lachie was found alive about 2 hours later clinging (扳住) to a door and, looked uninjured as his mother spoke to reporters.
British surfer ( 冲浪运动员) Martin Markwell is also a lucky man. He had always dreamed of catching that perfect wave-- but when it finally came along, it was a nightmare (噩梦). He was on his surfboard when he was swept up by a tsunami wave.
“It was really terrible because I was surfing. I was really surfing on a wave I wasn"t supposed to be on.” he said. “As an experienced surfer, when I saw the wave come, I realized something was wrong, but I couldn"t escape because my surfboard was tied to my ankle（脚踝）.”
His wife Vicki and son Jake looked on in horror from a hotel balcony (阳台) as he crashed towards the shore. Luckily, he stayed atop his board until he reached the hotel, jumped off and got to safety as the ocean rolled back to feed a much larger tsunami wave on its way. The family regrouped and ran to safety just minutes before a giant tsunami wave 10 meters high.
