What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame，they may be famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous，but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂)for change.They have a vision from the mountain top.They have the skill and the charm to move the masses.They create new possibilities.Without Gandhi，India might still be part of the British Empire.Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King，Jr.，we might still have segregated(隔离的)buses，restaurants，and parks.It may be possible for largescale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities，but the pace of change would be slow，the vision uncertain，and the committee meetings endless.一根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要_二根据所读短文，选择最佳选项1Although heroes may come from different cultures，they _.Agenerally possess certain inspiring characteristicsBprobably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleCare often influenced by previous generationsDall unknowingly attract a large number of fans2According to the passage，heroes are compared to highvoltage transformers in that _.Athey have a vision from the mountaintopBthey have warm feelings and emotionsCthey can serve as concrete(具体的)examples of noble principlesDthey can make people feel stronger and more confident3Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because _.Athey are popular only among certain groups of peopleBtheir performances do not improve their fans morallyCtheir primary concern is their own financial interestsDthey are not clear about the principles they should follow4Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who _.Aare good at demonstrating their charming charactersBcan move the masses with the skill and the charmCare capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsDcan provide an answer to the problems of their people5The author concludes that historical changes would _.Abe delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesBnot happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesCtake place if there were heroes to lead the peopleDproduce leaders with attractive personalities BI work as an aid on a school bus. There is a guy Tyrell who is almost completely blind. Tyrell was all smiling for about a week. Hes normally a quite happy kid, but I could tell this was different from the normally silly smile I see. Wednesday morning my curiosity finally got me to ask him why.He told me that he was going to ride his new 3-wheeled bike when he got home. He couldnt control his happiness. When he got off, he gave me a smile. A smile will forever be in my heart. The next morning, I noticed that his eyes were quite puffy (浮肿的). So were his mothers. I asked them why. She explained that was due to many hours of tears the night before. She said that Tyrell got to ride the bike once before he had to come in for dinner and was promised he could ride it again afterward. He left it in the back yard where they thought it would be safe.However, after dinner, the bike was nowhere to be found. They immediately broke into tears because they knew the thing that he treasured so much was stolen. She called her close friend to find some comfort.The friend called her up later and said that she forgot to tell Tyrells mom that she had something for them and asked if it would be OK to bring it over. She, of course, was still crying from the thought that another bike would be impossible to afford and said yes. The friend brought over a huge box, in which there was a brand new bike for Tyrell.When they noticed what was in the box, they thanked their angel and cried even harder, not of sadness but of joy, and thankfulness. 6. Why did the writer stress the guys smile repeatedly in the first two paragraphs?A. His smile gave the writer a deep impression.B. The writer liked his happy smile very much.C. It set off how serious the loss of bike caused.D. The smile showed the happy ending of the story.7. Tyrells mom cried so sadly at the lost bike because _.A. her son wouldnt ride the bike any moreB. her family couldnt afford another bikeC. she felt very sad for the lost bikeD. she had just bought the bike for her son8. We can conclude from this story that _.A. there are good people out thereB. offering someone helps is better than stealing from himC. the loss of the bike puts the family into a sad situationD. one can obtain happiness from helping othersCGoing to college has been such a new experience for me. Everything is different from when I was in high school. One thing Ive noticed is that I havent been focusing on my coursework like I planned. I thought I would spend most of my college life studying. But since Ive been in college, about 60 percent of my time has been devoted to social life, while only 40 percent of my time has been devoted to my studies. I never knew I would make so many friends in such a short time.Its been so overwhelming (无法抵抗的)! Im not saying that making friends is bad, but Im starting to realize how much socializing has cut down on the time I should have spent on studying. Needless to say, that has to be changed. Ive realized that I really dont want to spend an extra year or two here just because I slacked off as a freshman. So the first thing Im going to do is to cut down on the amount of time I spend socializing. I will also have to say goodbye to a good part of the activities I like to attend. Its really difficult to cut these things out of my life, but I have to choose: I can have a full-time social life and fail college, or I can learn to balance my time between friends and studying and keep good grades. I think Ill stick to that second option!I may be a little strict on myself, but Im here to get an education, not to learn how to socialize more! I want to have fun at college, but at the same time, I want to get a good education and have a bright future! 9. What did the writer realize about his first year at college?A. He doesnt work as hard as in high school.B. Teachers dont care about him any more.C. He could make quite a lot of friends.D. He could spend much time on study. 10. The writer makes a decision that he will _.A. devote himself to his study rather than making friendsB. say good-bye to all his college activitiesC. cut down all his social life to have a good educationD. try not only to study well but also to have fun at college 11. The underlined phrase “slack off” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to “_”.A. do ones bestB. spare no effort C. have a good timeD. make less effort12. We can infer from the passage that the writer will _ at college.A. spend more time on study B. make a lot of friendsC. take more activitiesD. cut down his studying timeDAfter a couple has had their first child, to their disappointment they became infertile and couldnt have more children. Cloning would enable such a couple to have a second child, perhaps a younger twin to the child they already have. Many couples have difficulty having children, and sometimes it is impossible for couples to have children because they are infertile. Cloning would allow these couples to have children.It is hard to tell someone that they cannot use cloning to have children when no other possible ways to have children are available. This is one reason why it is difficult to decide whether cloning is moral or not. The following are some of the reasons why cloning should be allowed.Through cloning, research can progress. We possibly can learn more about cell. We may develop technology to allow easier genetic testing and fixing problems such as spinal cord injuries, cancer, and many more.Cloning organs for organ transplants (移植) is one of the major practical reasons that cloning should be allowed. There is always a high demand for organs. Some argue for the cloning of humans to create extra body parts. Others talk of just wanting to clone an organ to replace a faulty organ.Rejuvenation (恢复青春) is also a key argument for advocates (提倡) of cloning. Some scientists believe that injecting cloned healthy heart cells into damaged heart tissue will lead to healing of the heart. By combining the technology for cloning and the technology for growing human stem cells, conditions like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and some other ageing disease may be curable. The possibilities are endless and may be left undiscovered if human cloning is forbidden.13. The underlined word “infertile” in Para. 1 means “_”.A. unable to have children B. too poor to grow cropsC. poor in pregnant knowledge D. unable to afford to bring up children14. How many reasons does the writer give in this passage about why cloning should be allowed?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Cloning babies for infertile couples is moral.B. Through cloning, research work in cells can make great progress.C. Cloning cells can make some diseases concerning ageing curable.D. Cloning technology may help improve medical technology.16. From the passage, we can know the writers attitude toward human cloning is _.A. negativeB. supportiveC. uninterestedD. opposingEBARCELONA (Reuters) “Galactic Suite”, the first hotel planned in space, expects to open for business in 2012 and would allow guests to travel around the world in 80 minutes.Its architects say the space hotel will be the most expensive in the galaxy, costing $4 million for a three-day stay.During that time guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and use Velcro suits to crawl (爬) around their pod (分离舱) rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.Company director Xavier Claramunt says the three-bedroom hotels joined up pod structure, which makes it look like a model of molecules, was based on the fact that each pod room had to fit inside a rocket to be taken into space.“Its the bathrooms in zero gravity that are the biggest challenge,” says Claramunt. “How to provide enough space for more private activities of the guests is not easy.”But they may have solved the issue of how to take a shower in weightlessness the guests will enter a spa room in which bubbles of water will float around.When guests are not admiring the view from the windows of their pod rooms， they will take part in scientific experiments on space travel.“There is fear associated with going into space,” said Claramunt. “Thats why the shuttle rocket will remain fixed to the space hotel for the duration of the guests stay, so they know they can get home again.”“But,” says Claramunt, “Im hopeful that the impact of seeing the earth from a distance will stimulate (激发) the guests urge to value and protect our planet.”17. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. “Galactic Suite”: the first hotel planned in spaceB. Fly me to the moon: space hotel sees 2012 openingC.
