18、le the nation and especially the young people admire.If you get a list of the heroes of a nation,it will tell you the potential of that nation.If today in America,you ask the high school students to list their heroes,their choice would probably fall into three groups.The first group of heroes would

19、be the rock starsthe people connected with rock music.There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model.The rock stars too often are involved with drugs and their personal life is not all that good.The rock stars are rich and wear the lates

20、t fashion styles.However,one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star.Again you have a person who has a great ability in one areaSPORTS.However,too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a me

21、ss.Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.A third type of hero is the TV or movie star.This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome.However,the personal life if too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model for young peopl

22、e.Today,the rock star,the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America.Really,do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor,a teacher,or a scientist?These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes.However,they are talented people who work hard to

23、make the world a better place for everyone.What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes.They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles.If the heroes of today for the American youngsters are limited only to rock stars,athletes and actors,the future does not look too br

24、ight.46.The hero discussed in this article means a person _.A.who has done something braveB.who plays an important role in a playC.whom people greatly admireD.who rides the waves and moves with the tides47.American young people will not admire _.A.a university professorB.a popular singerC.a football

25、 playerD.a film actress48.What is the writers attitude towards American youths admiration for their heroes?A.He is understanding.B.He is critical.C.He is angry.D He is uninterested.B People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mothers Day, on the second Sunday in May, and

26、Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mother

27、s now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services(宗教儀式) to ho

28、nor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make the

29、ir own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.49.W

30、hich is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A Parents bring up childrenB Parents give love and care to childrenC Parents educate children to be good persons.D Parents pass away before children grow up50.What do you know from the passage?A Mothers Day and Fathers Day are bo

32、thers Day.C Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.52.What do you think “florists” do?A They sell flowersB They made bread or pastryC They offer enough room for having family parties.D They sell special clothes for Mothers Day

33、and Fathers Day.C Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit

34、 by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycleThey compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the need

35、ed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake. If it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. W

36、hy should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what he does n

37、ot know.53.According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_.A listening to skilled peoples advice.

39、ns mistakes as soon as possibleD give children more book knowledge56.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_A different from learning other skillsB the same as learning skillsC more important than other skillsD not really important skills57.The title of this p

40、assage could probably be_A Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB Let Us Make Children LearnC Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD Let Children Learn by ThemselvesD That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice a

41、t the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for

42、 me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(搶劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a soun

43、d behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the nois

44、e had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search,

45、 I heard the garbage truck(垃圾車) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what youre looking for

46、?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help ea

47、ch other.58.How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A Cold and sickB Lucky and hopefulC Satisfied and cheerful D Disappointed and helpless59.From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy_.A solving her problem at the bank B taking part in various city activitiesC l

48、earning acting in an evening schoolD preparing for the first night show60.On her way home the writer_A lost her wallet unknowinglyB was stopped by a garbage truck driverC was robbed of her wallet by a man with a knifeD found some homeless people following her61.In the fifth paragraph, why did the wr

49、iter say she was dreaming?A Someone offered to take her back homeB A red-haired man came to see her.C She heard someone call her nameD Her wallet was found in a garbage truck62.From the text, we can infer that the writer_A would stop working at nightB would stay on in San FranciscoC would make frien

50、ds with cleaners.D would give up her job at the bankEBringing Art into Hospitals. The medical world is slowly realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to recover(康復(fù)). As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the mu

51、seums and into public places, some of the countrys best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard, modern buildings. Of the 2500 national health service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have collections of art in passages(走廊), waiting areas and treatment rooms.

52、 These recent movements were first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by more people. A common hospital waiting roo

53、m might have as many as 5000 visitors each week. What a good place to hold exhibitions(展覽) of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britains first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he w

54、as soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates. The effect is amazing. Now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitors experience a full view of fresh colors, playful images(形象) and restful courtyards. The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that a patient who had a view onto gardens needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with(與相比) patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.6
