19、hat 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 be the rock stars the people connected with rock music.There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if one sho
20、uld 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 latest 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
21、 American youth is the sports star.Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area SPORTS.However,too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a mess.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 p
22、erson 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 people. 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
23、 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 make the world a better place for everyone. What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes.They like to wea
24、r 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 bright. 46.The hero discussed in this article means a person _. A.who has done something brave B.who plays an important role i
25、n a play C.whom people greatly admire D.who rides the waves and moves with the tides 47.American young people will not admire _. A.a university professor B.a popular singer C.a football player D.a film actress 48.What is the writers attitude towards American youths admiration for their heroes? A.He
26、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 Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. The
27、y 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 mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care. These two special days are celebrated i
28、n 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(宗教仪式 ) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, familie
29、s 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 their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that
30、 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.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents? A Parents bring up children B Pare
31、nts give love and care to children C Parents educate children to be good persons. D Parents pass away before children grow up 50.What do you know from the passage? A Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May. B Fewer women worked outside the home in the past C Not all the children respect their pa
32、rents D Fathers are not as important as mothers at home 51.Which do you think is right about “carnation”? A It only has two kinds of color. B It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mothers Day or Fathers Day. C Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes. D People can wear carnations o
33、nly on the second Sunday in May. 52.What do you think “florists” do? A They sell flowers B They made bread or pastry C They offer enough room for having family parties. D They sell special clothes for Mothers Day and Fathers Day. C Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk
34、 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 by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In th
35、e 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 needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and
36、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. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的 ) work? Our job should be to help
37、 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 not know. 53.According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by
38、_. A listening to skilled peoples advice. B asking older people many questions C making mistakes and having them corrected D doing what other people do 54.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?. A Give children correct answers B Allow children to mark mistakes. C Point
39、out childrens mistakes to them. D Let children mark their own work 55.According to the writer, teachers in school should _ A allow children to learn from each other B point out childrens mistakes whenever found C correct childrens mistakes as soon as possible D give children more book knowledge 56.T
40、he passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_ A different from learning other skills B the same as learning skills C more important than other skills D not really important skills 57.The title of this passage could probably be_ A Let Us Teachers Stop Work B Let Us Ma
41、ke Children Learn C Let Children Correct Their Exercises D Let Children Learn by Themselves D 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 at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was st
42、ill 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 me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I
43、felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯 ). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someon
44、e 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 noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
45、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, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车 ) pull up to the sidewalk ne
46、xt 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?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearl
47、y 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 each other. 58.How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work? A Cold and sick B Lucky and hopeful C Satisfied and cheerful D Disappointed and h
