Unit 4 Earthquakes李仕才一、阅读理解。Fidel Castro was born at his fathers farm on August 13, 1926. His father, Angel Castro, was a migrant to Cuba from Galicia, Northwest Spain. He had become financially successful by growing sugarcane at Las Manacas farm in Biran, Oriente Province.Aged six, Castro was sent to live with his teacher in Santiago be Cuba, before being baptized(洗礼)into the Roman Catholic Church at the age of eight. Being baptized enabled Castro to attend the la Salle boarding school in Santiago, where he regularly misbehaved, so he was sent to the privately funded Dolores School in Santiago. In 1945 he transferred to a more famous school, De Belen in Havana. Although Castro took an interest in history, geography and debating at Belen, he did not excel academically, instead devoting much of his time to playing sport.In 1945, Castro began studying law at the University of Havana, where he became involved in student activism, and the violent gangsterism culture within the university. Passionate about anti-imperialism and opposing U.S. interference in the Caribbean, he unsuccessfully campaigned for the presidency of the Federation of University Students on a platform of “honesty, decency and justice”. Castro became critical of the corruption and violence of President Ramon Graus government, delivering a public speech on the subject in November 1946 that received coverage on the front page of several newspapers.In 1947, Castro joined the Party of the Cuban People, founded by Eduardo Chibas. Chibas advocated social justice, honest government, and political freedom, while his party exposed corruption and demanded reform. Though Chibas lost the election, Castro remained devoted to working on his behalf. Social situation becoming worse, Castor soon received a death threat urging him to leave the university; refusing, he began carrying a gun and surrounding himself with armed friends.1.From paragraph 2, we know that Fidel Castro _.A. had no interest in historyB. performed very well at schoolC. spend much time playing sportD. attended the La Salle boarding school before 82.What is the right order of the following events related to Fidel Castro?a. delivered a public speechb. entered the University of Havanac. joined the Party of the Cuban Peopled. transferred to famous school, De BelenA. dbacB. abcdC. dabcD. acdb3.Fidel Castro carried a gun at university_A.to catch peoples attentionB.to hang out with friend for funC.to get involved in the political activitiesD.to defend himself against the death threat4.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. the Party of the Cuban PeopleB.
