[2021·郑州模拟]Would you go to war for your country? Millions of people do. But occasionally, some refuse to fight. They're known as conscientious objectors (拒服兵役者). One of the most famous from the USA is Muhammad Ali.
Muhammad Ali was a professional boxer and one of the most outstanding sports figures of the 20th century. He was born on 17th January 1942 in Louisville (Kentucky) and began training as an amateur boxer when he was 12 years old. At the age of 18, he won a gold medal in the light heavy­weight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. He turned professional later that year. At the age of 22, he became the world heavyweight champion.
In 1965, he converted to Islam (伊斯兰教) and officially changed his name to Muhammad Ai. Shortly after, he was called up for military service to fight in the Vietnam War. He was firmly against the idea. “My enemy is the white people, not the Viet Cong (越共) ,” he explained. “You may oppose when I want freedom. You may oppose when I want justice. You may oppose when I want equality...You want me to go somewhere and fight, but you won't even stand up for me here at home?”
After refusing to _enlist_ during a sign­up ceremony in April 1967, Muhammad was arrested.
He was found guilty of draft evasion, and deprived of his boxing titles. As a result, he didn't fight from March 1967 to October 1970. He later became a symbol of the anti­war movement and racial injustice. In 1971, his conviction was overturned by the US Supreme Court. Muhammad Ali died on 3rd June 2016.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
1.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“He was born on 17th January 1942 in Louisville (Kentucky)和At the age of 22, he became the world heavyweight champion.”阿里出生于1942年,22岁时成为世界重量级冠军。可知,阿里成为世界重量级冠军是在1964年。故选C。
2.D 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“‘My enemy is the white people, not the Viet Cong(越共) ,’ he explained.”可知,阿里认为,他的敌人是白人,而不是越共。从而可以推断出,因为他的肤色,他没有得到公平的对待。故选D。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据上文中“Shortly after, he was called up for military service to fight in the Vietnam War. He was firmly against the idea.”他被征召入伍参加越南战争。他坚决反对这个想法,和下文中“He was found guilty of draft evasion, and deprived of his boxing titles.”他被判逃避兵役,可以猜测出,这里为“穆罕默德拒绝入伍,随后被逮捕。”之意。故选B。
4.A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“He was found guilty of draft evasion, and deprived of his boxing titles. As a result, he didn't fight from March 1967 to October 1970.”他被判逃避兵役,并被剥夺了拳击冠军头衔,可知从1967年3月到1970年10月,他不被允许打拳击。故选A。
