27、g child. Can you recall who your heroes were? Were they people in your family? Were they from books, or TV, or movies?During their teen years, young people search for two types of heroes. The first type of hero they look for is someone they can admire. Too often, however, they confuse superstars wit
28、h heroes. Most TV or movie superstars arent really heroes-theyre celebrities(名流), products of the media. 5The danger comes when young people confuse the heroic with the famous. In fact, because they dont have real heroes, people of all ages turn to fantasy(想象中的)heroes. And the media, in turn, fill t
29、his need with Indiana Jones, Superman, Conan the Barbarian, James Bond, Luke Skywalker, and other fantasy figures.The second type of hero young people sometimes choose stands for disobedience(叛逆) toward parents and rules. An example is Bluto Bluntarsky in the movie Animal House. Bluto is a terrible
30、troublemaker. Of course, some teenagers may actually admire Blutos personal qualities.Are these real heroes? Not really, because who they are and what they do are purely a dream. Real heroes are ones you love and want to keep as heroes forever. Celebrities are easy come, easy go.But dont count real
31、heroes out yet. Even in an age when people say there are no heroes-only celebrities-there are countless heroes. There are many heroes who are not so well known. They have risked life, or anything valuable on a matter of principle.Everyone needs heroes to admire. Whether theyre movie stars, relatives
32、, nextdoor neighbors, or strangers weve read about, we need them. By what they do, heroes show us that we, too, can do something outstanding, even if we are only “ordinary” people.56. What problem do young people often have about “heroes”?A. They search for heroes in their dreams. B. They never lear
33、n from heroesC. They are uncertain about who to admire D. They often love troublemakers57. What is the authors opinion about the topic?A. There are very few real heroes. B.

Becoming Heroes B. Everybody Needs HeroesC. Celebrities or Heroes? D. Why Heroes?BIn well over half the languages of t
35、he world, it is possible to change the meaning of a word simply by changing the pitch(声高) level at which it is spoken. Languages that allow this are known as tone languages.The number of tones(音调) in a language can be different. The simplest systems have only two tones, high vs low(eg. Zulu); Yoruba
36、 has three (high, mid, low); Lushai has four(extra-high, high, mid,low); Thai has five(low, mid, and high-falling, high-rising, low-falling-rising); Cantonese Chinese has six (mid-and low-level, high-and low-falling and high-and low-rising). Tonal differences may affect either the vocabulary or the
37、grammar of a language. Probably the most widely known case is Mandarin Chinese, which has four tones.Grammatical uses of tone are also common. In several languages of West Africa (e.g. Twi, Bini), a change of tone signals the difference between certain tense forms. In Bini, for instance, a low tone
38、is used for present tense, and a high or high-low tone for past tense.When a set of tones is produced, adjacent(邻近的)tones tend to influence each other. For example, a low tone that has a high tone in front of it will usually begin with a downward pitch movement. In particular, the information system
39、 of the language can cause changes in the pitch 6level of tones. In a sentence where there is a gradually falling intonation, the tones towards the beginning of the sentence will be spoken at a higher level than the tones towards the end. This gradual lowering of tones is known as downdrift. It may
40、even result in a high tone at the end of a sentence having the same pitch level as a low tone at the beginning!60. What is the text mainly about?A. Tone language B. The number of tones C. Grammar and tones D. Changes in tones61. Which of the following seems to have the largest number of tones?A. Tai
41、 language B. Mandarin Chinese C. Lushai D. Cantonese Chinese62. What is special about some tone languages?A. The same words may have different pitches.B. The tones have little influence on meaning.C. Higher pitches refer to things in the past.D. Different tones are used for different tenses.63. How
42、would a high tone influence the low tones following it?A. The low tones will begin with a lower pitch movement.B. The low tones will start with a higher pitch production.C. The low tones are spoken at a lower level.D. The low tones end with a higher tone.CHigher Education IN THE United StatesHigher
43、education in the United States includes any program of study at two-year-colleges, four-year colleges and graduate schools. There are more than 4,100 community community colleges, colleges, and universities in the United States. Four-year colleges grant undergraduate bachelors degrees (B.A. or B.S.)
44、. Two-year colleges, often called community colleges, offer the Associate of Arts or the Associate of Science degrees (A.A. or A.S.) The words college and university are often the same, but it is generally understood that a university can offer graduate degrees as well. These degrees can be quite sp
45、ecialized, such as a Master of Arts in a particular subject or even doctorate degrees.American colleges and universities may be public, private, or religious(宗教的). Public universities are owned by the states. Students pay tuition(学费)at public universities, but those who have lived in the state for a certain period of time do not pay as much as students from outside the state. The annual average cost of tuition, fees and room and board at universities was $36,564 in 2014. These costs, however, depend on the size, location, reputation(声誉), etc. of the univers
