问题    A. Commemoration of Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon
   B. Greece was urged to hang onto its commitments and reforms
   C. Torrential rains and floods caused great losses in Niger
   D. An emergency response is called for the outbreak of cholera in Sierra Leone 【R1】______
   The French and German leaders have urged Greece to carry on with its painful reforms. Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Francois Hollande presented a united front as they held talks in advance of their meeting with the Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Friday and Saturday. The two leaders with a real power in the eurozone presented a united front as they prepared to meet the Greek prime minister who comes to Berlin on Friday and then onto Paris on Saturday.
   Chancellor Merkel said it was important that everybody stuck to their commitments, and President Hollande said that Greece had to do what was necessary in order to stay in the euro-zone. They now wait for the all-important official assessment of Greek progress on reform to be done in September by inspectors from the donor organizations.
   【R2】______
   The British government is organizing an emergency response to a cholera epidemic in Sierra Leone which has killed more than 200 people. It plans to help provide clean water and sanitation for some 2 million people. The British government’s aid arm the Department for International Development has earmarked 2. 5 million dollars to tackle the cholera epidemic in Sierra Leone which has already taken over 200 lives. It could threaten many thousands more if not brought under control.
   Cholera is a sort of extreme diarrhea. It can kill people within hours if rehydration is not administered quickly. It’s relatively simple to treat if clean facilities and trained staff were available. But Sierra Leone is a poor country with overstretched hospitals.
   【R3】______
   The first man to set foot on the moon Neil Armstrong has died at the age of 82. He’d undergone heart bypass surgery earlier this month. As commander of the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969, Armstrong made the first footprint on the dusty surface. "It is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. "
   Thousands of people were involved in the Apollo missions that led to this moment, but it was Neil Armstrong’s ice cool nerves that ensure that lunar module Eagle landed safely. He had to take manual control of the spacecraft as it descended toward the surface, taking it toward region’s drone with boulders and craters. He and his fellow crew members returned to earth to a hero’s welcome. But Neil Armstrong soon retreated from the lime light, preferring the quieter life as a professor of engineering.
   【R4】______
   An aid operation has begun in the West African state of Niger following floods that have left more than 125, 000 people homeless. The aid agency Plan International says at least 65 people died when heavy rains hit the capital Niamey earlier this month.
   The torrential rains which swept across the country earlier this month resulted in the River Niger rising to levels not seen since the 1920s. Sixty-five people were drowned as villages along the banks were inundated by the brown, swirling water. Homes collapsed, farm animals were killed and thousands of families lost almost everything they owned. Now the first help has arrived. The UN is calling for further donations of food, tents and household goods.
【R3】
选项
答案A
解析     标题译文：缅怀第一位登上月球的宇航员阿姆斯特朗
    新闻译文：
    第一位登上月球宇航员阿姆斯特朗辞世，享年82岁。他于本月初做了心脏搭桥手术。1969年作为阿波罗11任务团的指挥官，阿姆斯特朗在月球上留下了人类的第一次足迹。“这是一个人迈出的一小步，却是整个人类跨出的一大步。”
    上千人参与了阿波罗号任务，才使其成功实现，但是，是阿姆斯特朗的异常冷静确保了鹰号登月舱的安全着陆。他手动控制了航空飞机，使其成功降落于布满陨石和巨石坑的月球表面。人们向返回地球的阿姆斯特朗和其他宇航员致以英雄般的欢迎。但阿姆斯特朗很快从这种聚光灯下的生活全身撤退，从事了更为喜爱的一种安静的生活：工程学的一名教授。
