Every country has its heroes.The heroes are the people 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(潛力) of that nation.

Today in America,if you ask the high school students to list their heroes,their choices 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(才能).But one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model.The rock stars too often are mixed 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 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 disorder.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 of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of 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 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(模仿) their heroes.They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles.If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars,athletes and actors,the future does not look too bright.

1.The last sentence of the first paragraph implies that .

A.if a nation has a lot of heroes,it will be strong

B.heroes of a nation will make the nation itself

C.what the people admire will make the future of the nation

D.if you want to be a hero,you must admire the hero

2.According to the writer,people should admire those .

A.who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes

B.who can express people’s feelings

C.whose personal life is good

D.who work for the interests of the people

3.What is the writer’s attitude towards American youth’s admiration?

A.He understands it.

B.He criticizes it.

C.He is angry about it.

D.He is uninterested in it.

The strong emphasis on educational achievement in China, Japan and other parts of South-East Asia may be coming at a heavy price. Researchers say that hard work at school plus the lack of exposure to outdoor light is damaging the eyes of almost nine out of ten students—with one in five at serious risk of visual impairment and blindness.

The scientists say that young people need up to three hours a day of outdoor light, but many infants are also missing out as they nap during lunch time. Dr. Ian Morgan is the lead author of the study. “I think what's happened in South-East Asia is that we've got a double whammy. We've got the massive educational pressures and we've got the construction of a child's day in a way that really minimises the amount of time they spend outside in bright light.”

The scientists say that genetic factors, long thought to play a big role in short-sightedness, are not as important as the environment. They point to Singapore as a place with several different racial groups, all of whom are now suffering high levels of short-sightedness.

The authors suggest that compulsory time outdoors should be considered by educational authorities across South-East Asia as a way of dealing with the problem.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about ?

A. Educational achievement in Asia.

B. Sight problems in South-East Asia.

C. Risk of visual impairment and blindness.

D. Massive educational pressures

2. What does the underlined part “a double whammy” refer to?

A. Many infants’ naps and massive educational pressures.

B. Hard work at school and the construction of a child's day.

C. Educational pressures and the lack of exposure to outdoor light.

D. Genetic factors and the minimised time spent outside in bright light.

3. By mentioning Singapore, the author intends to tell us that ________.

A. genetic factors play a big role in short-sightedness

B. it has several different racial groups

C. all Singaporeans are shortsighted now

D. the environment has greater effect on people’s eyes

4.The authors strongly believe that __________.

A. we should spend enough time outdoors

B. infants should not nap during lunch time

C. students should not work hard at school

D. educational authorities are to blame for short-sightedness

閱讀理解。

The Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the US.It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie Troy to Albany on the Hudson River.It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west,and materials could pour into the east.The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation’s largest city.

The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York.It cost $ 7,143,789,but it soon gained its price many times over.Between 1825,when the canal was opened,and 1882,when toll charges(過運(yùn)河費(fèi)) were stopped,the state collected $ 121,461,891.

For a hundred years before the Erie was built,people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean.The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton.Those who were against the canal laughingly called it “Clinton’s Ditch(溝)”.Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it.He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal,but they were unsuccessful.

Clinton became governor of New York in 1817,and shortly afterwards,on July 4,1817,broke ground for the canal in Rome,N,Y.The first part of the canal was completed in 1820.As the canal grew,towns along its course developed fast.The length of the canal is 363 miles.

D.was the first waterway built in the US

閱讀理解。

We already know the fastest,least expensive way to slow down climate change:use less energy.With a little effort,and not much money,most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or more—doing the Earth a favor while also helping our wallets.

Not long ago,my wife,PJ,and I tried a new diet—not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying question about climate change.Scientists have reported recently that the world is heating up even faster than predicted only a few years ago,and that the consequences(后果)could be severe if we don’t keep reducing emission(排放)of carbon dioxide(CO2)and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere.

We decided to try an experiment.For one month we recorded our personal emission of CO2.We wanted to see how much we could cut back,so we went on a strict diet.The average US household produces about 150 pounds of CO2 a day by doing common things like turning on air conditioning or driving cars.That’s more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average,mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses.But how much should we try to reduce?

For an answer,I checked with Tim Flannery,author of The Weather Makers:How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth.In his book,he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emission to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points,such as the melting(融化) of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica.“To stay below that point,we need to reduce CO2 emission by 80 percent,”he said.

Good advice,I thought.I’d opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind.We’d gotten so used to keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock.I’d almost forgotten the windows even opened.We should not let this happen again.It’s time for us to change our habits if necessary.

1.Why did the author and his wife try a new diet?

A.To take special kinds of food.

B.To respond to climate change.

C.To lose weight.

D.To improve their health.

2.The underlined words“tipping points”most probably refer to “ ”.

A.freezing points B.burning points

C.melting points D.boiling points

3.According to the passage,Tim Flannery .

A.made deep cuts in his personal emission of CO2

B.wrote a book about the climate changes

C.succeeded in reducing CO2 emission by 80 percent

D.was an author popular among readers

4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A.Saving Energy Starts at Home

B.Changing Our Habits Begins at Work

C.Changing Climate Sounds Reasonable

D.Reducing Emission of CO2 Proves Difficult

閱讀理解。

When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London,a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon (絲帶)around a bomb”.Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly,she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.

Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City,Kahlo suffered from polio(小兒麻痹癥)at the age of seven.Her spine(脊柱) became bent as she grew older.Then,in 1925,her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life,the artist had many operations,but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However,the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering,Kahlo taught herself to paint.

In 1929,she got married to Diego Rivera,another famous Mexican artist.Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works,but her later works from the 1940s,known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband.

Unfortunately,her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s,even in her home country.Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954,Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world,but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.

1.What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?

A.A far better artist.

B.A far more gifted artist.

C.A much stronger person.

D.A much more famous person.

2.The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by .

A.polio B.her bent spine

C.back injuries D.the operations she had

3.Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the .

A.1930s B.1940s

C.1950s D.1970s

4.What is the author’s attitude towards Kahlo?

A.Indifferent. B.Sympathetic.

C.Worried. D.Critical.
