　　Milosevic’s Death
　　Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Saturday in his cell at the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The 64-year-old had been on trial there since February 2002.
　　Born in provincial Pozarevac in 1941, he was the second son of a priest and a school teacher. Both of his parents died when he was still a young adult. The young Milosevic was “untypical”, says Slavoljub Djukic, his unofficial biographer. He was “not interested in sports, and avoided excursions and used to come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way – white shirt and tie.” One of his friends said, he could “imagine him as a station-master or punctilious civil servant”.
　　Indeed that is exactly what he might have become, had he not married Mira. She was widely believed to be his driving force.
　　At university and beyond he did well. He worked for various firms and was a communist party member. By 1986 he was head of Sebia’s Committer. But still he had not yet really been noticed.
　　It was Kosovo that gave him his chance. An autonomous province of Serbia, Kosovo was home to an Albanian majority and a Serbian minority. In 1989, he was sent there to calm fears of Serbians who felt they were discriminated against. But instead he played the nationalist card and became their champion. In so doing, he changed into a ruthless and determined man. At home with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies. Conspiring with the director of Serbian TV, he mounted a modern media campaign which aimed to get him the most power in the country.
　　He was elected Serbian president in 1990. In 1997, he became president of Yugoslavia. The rest of the story is well-known: his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fight for their own rights, power and lands. Yugoslavia broke up when four of the six republics declared independence in 1991. war started and lasted for years and millions died. Then Western counties intervened. NATO bombed Yugoslavia, and he eventually stepped down as state leader in 2000.
　　Soon after this, Serbia’s new government, led by Zoran Djindjic, arrested him and sent him to face justice at the Yugoslav was crimes tribunal in the Hague.

　　解析：1. Milosevic(米洛舍维奇)’s Death
　　1. B。 解析：问题问“米洛舍维奇在哪里去世的?”该题是细节题，问题问及米洛舍维奇的去世，　因此关注文章开头部分涉及到米洛舍维奇去世的句子(方法：利用问题句中的细节词die及其相关词(death, dead(死的， 废弃了的，完全地), pass away(去世))作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句)。
　　提示：文章后面的细节题一般按照文章的发展顺序涉及。
　　Former(以前的， 从前的) Yugoslav (南斯拉夫的)leader(领导人) Slobodan (史洛波登)Milosevic was found (被发现)dead last(最近的， 最后的，持续) Saturday(星期天) in his cell(单身牢房)at the Hague(海牙)-based (位于...的，以...为基础的)International(国际的) Criminal (犯罪的)Tribunal(法庭)for the former Yugoslavia.
　　答案相关句在文章开头的第一句：该句说“米洛舍维奇在位于海牙的前南斯拉夫国际刑事法庭的牢房里去世”。因此B是答案。
　　2.D. 解析：问题问“有关年轻的米洛舍维奇的事情下列哪个说法不正确?”该问题也是细节题，因此顺着上一题的位置放下查找答案相关句(方法：利用问题句中的细节信息词young Milosevic作为答案线索词)：
　　(第2段) Born (出生的)in provincial(省的) Pozarevac in 1941, he was the second son of a priest(牧师) and a school teacher(教师). Both of his parents died when he was still a young adult. The young Milosevic was “untypical” (与C一致), says Slavoljub Djukic, his unofficial(非官方的) biographer(传记作者). He was “not interested in sports(与B一致), and avoided(避免) excursions(游览，短途旅行)and used to (过去常常)come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way(与A一致)– white shirt and tie.” One of (一个)his friends(朋友) said, he could “imagine him as (把...想象成...)a station-master (车站站长) or punctilious(拘泥于细节的，一丝不苟的) civil(公民的) servant(仆人)(公务员)”.
　　(第3段)Indeed(确凳? that is exactly(正好， 精确地) what he might have become(本来可能成为), had he not married Mira(虚拟语气(=if he hadn‘t married Mira)：假设他当时没有与Mira结婚的话). She was widely(广泛地) believed(认为， 相信) to be his driving force(推动力).
　　第3段的答案相关句说“人们普遍认为Mira是米洛舍维奇的推动力， 如果米洛舍维奇当时没有和Mira结婚的话， 他可能就是一个一丝不苟的公务员而已”， 根据这句话的内容推断出米洛舍维奇本人很可能并不是一个很有抱负的人， 因此D是答案。
3.解析：该题问“下列列举的人中除了谁以外， 其他的人都以这样那样的方式改变了他(米洛舍维奇)的命运? ”。 该题又是细节题，借助被选项的特点(都是特征词)，分别利用每个被选项中的人名作为答案线索在文章中查找相对应的答案相关句：
　　Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Saturday in his cell at the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The 64-year-old had been on trial there since February 2002.
　　Born in provincial Pozarevac in 1941, he was the second son of a priest and a school teacher. Both of(两个) his parents died when he was still(仍然， 更， 静止的) a young adult(成年人). The young Milosevic was “untypical”, says Slavoljub Djukic, his unofficial biographer. He was “not interested in sports, and avoided excursions and used to come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way – white shirt and tie.” One of his friends said, he could “imagine him as a station-master or punctilious civil servant”.
　　Indeed that is exactly what he might have become, had he not married Mira. She was widely believed to be his driving force.
　　At university and beyond he did well. He worked for various firms and was a communist party member. By 1986 he was head of Sebia’s Committer. But still he had not yet really been noticed.
　　It was Kosovo that gave him his chance. An autonomous province of Serbia, Kosovo was home to an Albanian majority and a Serbian minority. In 1989, he was sent there to calm fears of Serbians who felt they were discriminated against. But instead he played the nationalist card and became their champion. In so doing, he changed into a ruthless and determined man. At home with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies. Conspiring with(与...谋划) the director of Serbian TV, he mounted(建立， 设置) a modern (现代的)media(媒体)campaign (活动， 战役) which aimed to(致力于) get him the most power(权力) in the country.
　　He was elected Serbian president in 1990. In 1997, he became president of Yugoslavia. The rest of the story is well-known: his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fight for their own rights, power and lands. Yugoslavia broke up when four of the six republics declared independence in 1991. war started and lasted for years and millions died. Then Western counties intervened. NATO bombed Yugoslavia, and he eventually stepped down as state leader in 2000.
　　Soon after this, Serbia(塞尔维亚)’s new government(政府), led by(由...带领) Zoran Djindjic, arrested(逮捕) him and sent(送， 邮寄， 使处于(某种状态)) him to face(面对) justice (审判， 正义)at the Yugoslav(南斯拉夫的) war(战争) crimes(罪行) tribunal(审判法庭) in the Hague(海牙).
　　涉及到Mira 的答案相关句说“Mira被认为是米洛舍维奇的推动力”， 因此Mira 对米洛舍维奇的命运有影响作用;与Zoran Djindjic相关的答案相关句说“在Zoran Djindjic的带领下，塞尔维亚的新政府逮捕了米洛舍维奇”， 因此Zoran Djindjic影响着米洛舍维奇的命运; 与The director of Serbian TV相关的答案相关句说“Serbian 电视台的主任与米洛舍维奇共同密谋发起了致力于帮助米洛舍维奇获得在那个国家里自大权利的现代媒体运动”， 显然Serbian 电视台的主任也影响着米洛舍维奇的命运， 因此答案为B(他的父母)。
　　4.C. 解析：问题问“为什么米洛舍维奇在1989年被派到科索沃?”，该题也是细节题，利用问题句中的特征结构(Kosovo(科索沃)和 in 1989)作为答案线索， 在文章中找到答案相关句：
　　(第5段)It was Kosovo that gave(给) him his chance(机会). An autonomous (自治的)province(省) of Serbia(塞尔维亚), Kosovo was home to(是...的家园)an Albanian(阿尔巴尼亚人) majority(大多数人) and a Serbian(塞尔维亚) minority(少数人). In 1989, he was sent there to calm(平息，平静的) fears(恐惧) of Serbians (塞尔维亚)who felt(认为， 感觉) they were discriminated against(被歧视). But instead(代替) he played(玩，扮演， 播放 ) the nationalist(民族主义者) card (卡片， 纸牌)and became their champion(冠军， 拥护者). In so doing, he changed into a ruthless and determined man. At home with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies. Conspiring with the director of Serbian TV, he mounted a modern media which aimed to get him the most power in the country.
　　第5段中的第三句是直接答案相关句(两个线索结构都出现了)， 该句说“1989年， 他被派到那里(科索沃)去平息塞尔维亚人的恐惧感， 塞尔维亚人认为自己受到了歧视”，显然该句内容与C一致，因此C是答案。
　　5.A. 解析：问题句问“1991年发生了什么事情?”该题也是细节题，借助题干中的特征结构(in 1991)作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句(顺着上一题的答案位置往下找)：
　　(倒数第2段) He was elected Serbian president in 1990. In 1997, he became president of Yugoslavia. The rest of the story is well-known: his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fight for their own rights, power and lands. Yugoslavia(南斯拉夫) broke up (分裂)when four of the six republics(共和国) declared(宣布) independence(独立) in 1991. War (战争)started (开始， 爆发)and lasted(持续) for years and millions(数百万) died(死亡). Then Western counties intervened. NATO bombed Yugoslavia, and he eventually stepped down as state leader in 2000.
　　答案相关句说“随着6个共和国中的4个共和国宣布独立，南斯拉夫变得四分五裂”， 该句内容与A一致。
