参考解析
解析：本文开头说到了米洛舍维奇死亡的时间和地点“in his cell at the Hague一based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia"，即海牙国际刑事法庭前南斯拉夫仲裁庭的牢房中，显然，可以排除选项D，而pnson和cell为近义词。
本题为推断题。文章第二段最后一句和第三段都提到了这一点，要不是跟Mira结婚，他有可能成为一个站长或是公务员，而在此之前，他并没有太大的抱负。
问题问对米洛舍维奇的命运未产生某种影响的人是谁？尽管文章第二段在讲述他的童年时谈到了他的父母，但看不出他们对他的命运有什么影响。相反，另外三位在一定程度上影响了米洛舍维奇的人生的成与败。
文章倒数第三段中间提到："In 1989, he was sent there to calm fears of Serbians who felt they were discriminated against.”他被派到科索沃去消除感觉受到歧视的塞尔维亚人的恐慌。
倒数第二段说“Yugoslavia broke up when four of the six republics declared independence in 1991.”即1991年，6个共和国中的4个宣布独立后，南斯拉夫解体了。

共用题干The Forbidden AppleNew York used to be the city that never sleeps.Theses days it's the city that never smokes,drinks or does anything naughty(at least,not in public).The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple.If you wanted a glass of wine with your picnic in Central Park,could you have one?No chance.Drinking alcohol in public isn't allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs（碎屑）of your sandwich, you could be arrested.It's illegal.If you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette,that would be OK,wouldn't it?Er…no.You can't smoke in public in New York City.What's going on?Why is the city that used to be so open-minded becoming like this?The mayor of New York is behind it all.He has brought in a whole lot of new laws to stop citizens from doing what they want, when they want.The press are shocked.Even the New York police have joined the argument.They recently spent $100,000 on a"Don't blame the cop"campaign.One New York police officer said,"We raise money for the city by giving people fines for breaking some very stupid laws.It's all about money."The result is a lot of fines for minor offences.Yoav Kashida,an Israeli tourist,fell asleep on the subway. When he woke up,two police officers fined him because he had fallen asleep on two seats(you mustn't use two seats in the subway).Elle and Serge Schroitman were fined for blocking a driveway with their car. It was their own driveway.The angry editor of Vanity Fair magazine,Graydon Carter,says,"Under New York City law it is accept- able to keep a gun in your place of work,but not an empty ashtray."He should know.The police came to his office and took away his ashtray（烟灰缸）.But not all of the New York's inhabitants are complaining. Marcia Dugarry,72,said,"The city has changed for the better. If more cities had these laws,America would be a better place to live."Nixon Patotkis, 38,a barman,said,"I like the new laws.If people smoked in here,we'd go home smelling of cigarettes."Recent figures show that New York now has fewer crimes per 100,000 people than 193 other US cities. And it's true一it's safer,cleaner and more healthy than before.But let's be honest一who goes to New York for its clean streets?Some activities have recently become illegal in New York.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

The money was to help other Mrican Americans through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to clean and iron for money which she would then save.She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly gave a billion dollars.She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life, before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.She gave her money away because________.A:she wanted to help the universityB:she wanted others to have the chance to become nursesC:she wanted others to have the opportunity to escape a hard lifeD:she wanted to he remembered after her death
