答案:D

议论文的阅读(2)
阅读下列材料,按要求完成读写任务
Like many of my generation,I have a weakness for hero worship.At some point,however,we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them.This leads us to ask:What is a hero?
Despite immense differences in cultures,heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about.A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen.But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves.Like highvoltage(电压)transformers,heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation.Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth,enthusiasm,and meaning.A sure test for wouldbe heroes is what or whom do they serve? 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.Ⅰ.根据短文,写一篇30词左右的摘要

Father’s Day
Father’s Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar compared with Mother’s Day,which has been a very popular and well celebrated festival in the UK for a very long time.Father’s Day was first celebrated by Americans 1 it was inspired by(受启发)the actions of a man named William Smart.He was a veteran(退伍军人)of the US Civil War and his wife 2 away giving birth to their sixth child.He 3 six children alone without remarrying,which was undoubtedly 4 back in those days.His daughter,Sonora Dodd, 5 when she was an adult what her father had sacrificed for his 6.It was in the early 1900s and she was actually 7 one day,listening to a sermon(传教)on 8.She thought there should 9 be a Father’s Day celebration.And so the 10 was born,on the third Sunday every June,close to the anniversary(周年)of Sonora’s father’s death.Britain took the idea of Father’s Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated 11 since the 1970s.Father’s Day is never quite such a big commercial event 12 Mother’s Day is,probably because it hasn’t been in 13 for so long.But what do British people do for Father’s Day? Well,most people would buy their fathers a card.The card would probably have a nice message in it 14 what a great Dad their father is.Some people do buy presents as well.15 gifts for Dads are probably ties,chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can 16 use even if they don’t want them.In the runup(即将来到之际)to Father’s Day,or indeed Mother’s Day,there will be adverts(广告)on TV giving 17 ideas of CDs or gadgets(小玩具,小玩意)we can buy.Card shops will be full of mugs or pens and similar merchandise(商品)with “World’s Greatest Dad” 18 on them.Some families 19 do things together to celebrate Father’s Day like going for a meal.As a special treat,British people might give their Dad a bit of a rest, 20 him a cup of tea,or even wash his car and mow the lawn(除草)to make him feel really appreciated.1.A.so
B.or
C.and
D.but 答案 C 解析 因为两个句子间是并列关系,介绍的是此庆祝活动的发源地和发源原因,所以应 该用并列连词and。
2.A.passed B.ran
C.went
D.died 答案 A 解析 本题最容易误选D项。表示人死了可用die或pass away,而die away表示“减 弱(以致于察觉不到)”。
3.A.brought
B.raised C.fed
D.educated 答案 B 解析 句意为:他没有再婚,独自一人养育六个孩子。“抚养/养育(子女)”常用raise 或bring up。A项缺副词up;feed表示给人或动物喂食;educate表示“教育”。4.A.unnatural B.unfair C.untrue
D.unusual 答案 D 解析 which引导非限制性定语从句,句意为:这在那个时代毫无疑问是件罕见的事情。unnatural不自然的;unfair不公平的;untrue不真实的;unusual罕见的,不寻常的。5.A.realized
B.noticed
C.found D.heard 答案 A 解析 句意为:Sonora Dodd长大成人后,意识到了父亲为他的孩子们作出的牺牲。realize有“意识到”的意思。notice表示无意中注意到某人或某物;find表示发现某一
现象;hear指亲耳听见某事。
6.A.wife
B.son
C.daughter D.children 答案 D 解析 从第二段可知这位父亲独自一人抚养大了六个孩子,所以此处应该是父亲为他的 孩子们作出的牺牲。
7.A.at school
B.at church
C.at home D.at work 答案 B 解析 从后边的sermon(传教)一词可知,她当时是在教堂里,不可能是在学校、家里或 上班。
8.A.Father’s Day
B.Christmas Day C.Mother’s Day
D.New Year’s Day 答案 C 解析 从后边的“她认为也应该有个父亲节”可知,她产生此想法是在母亲节那天听传 教的时候。
9.A.still
B.also
C.too
D.as well 答案 B 解析 在这个女儿看来,有一个母亲节,理所当然地也应该有一个父亲节。在肯定句中 表示“也”时,若放在行为动词后,助动词、系动词、情态动词前,常用also。too和 as well常放在句末,too前可加上逗号,as well前一般不加标点。still仍然。10.A.attraction
B.position
C.tradition
D.congratulation 答案 C 解析 节日是一个文化传统,所以宜用tradition来代替父亲节。attraction吸引人的人或
事物;position职位,位置;congratulation祝贺。
11.A.specially B.especially C.greatly
D.officially 答案 D 解析 and后句子的大意为:二十世纪七十年代以来,父亲节一直被正式地庆祝。officially正式地;specially专程,特地;especially尤其是,特别是;greatly大大地。
12.A.as
B.like
C.that
D.which 答案 A 解析 such后的从句可由as或that引导。后边句子中不缺成分时,用that引导结果 状
语从句;后边句子缺成分时,用as引导限制性定语从句,此句中缺表语,所以选A项。13.A.use
B.existence
C.effect D.power 答案 B 解析 句意为:父亲节不像母亲节那样是一个大的商业活动,很可能是因为它存在的时 间没有那么长。be in existence存在着;be in use在使用着;be in effect(法律等)有效;
be in power(政党等)当权/执政。
14.A.writing
B.speaking
C.telling D.saying 答案 D 解析 表示信息、电报、信件、布告牌等上边写着的内容时,常用saying或reading作
后置定语,若带双宾语时,也可用telling sb.sth.结构作后置定语。若用write时,常用
on which were written...这一结构。
15.A.Popular
B.Regular
C.Normal
D.Moral 答案 A 解析 句意为:对父亲们来说受欢迎的礼物是领带、巧克力、袜子等,因为这些东西他 们即使不想要也总是能够用得上。popular受欢迎的,流行的;regular规则的;定时的; normal正常的,常规的;moral道德的,道义的。
16.A.sometimes B.seldom
C.never
D.always 答案 D 解析 从后边的“即使他们不想要这样的东西”这一信息可判断出,前边用“总是可以 用得上”最为合理。若为其他三个选项,那么送这些东西作为礼物的意义就不大了。17.A.you
B.us
C.them
D.people 答案 B 解析 根据后边的定语从句we can buy中的人称we可判断出,giving的宾语应该为us。18.A.placed
B.put
C.written
D.laid 答案 C 解析 此with加复合宾语结构的意思为:上边写着“世界上最伟大的父亲”的字样。write表示“写”;place,put和lay都表示“放”。
19.A.must
B.might
C.can
D.should 答案 B 解析 下一句中“British people might give their Dad a bit of a rest”暗示了此处用might 最为恰当。might有可能;must必定;can有可能;should理所当然,应该。
20.A.make
B.cook
C.boil
D.steam 答案 A 解析 make tea为固定表达法,意为“沏茶”。cook常用于做饭;boil常用于用水煮食
物;steam多用于用蒸汽弄熟食物。
The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years.In 1721,the printer James Franklin.Benjamin’s older brother,started the New England Courant,and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper.He filled his paper with stories of adventures,articles on art,on famous people,and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant,few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long.Newspaper companies are losing advertisers(广告商),readers,market value,and,in some cases,their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago.The chief editor(主编)of the Times said recently,“At places where they gather,editors ask one another,‘How are you?’,as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.”An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian,under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”
Perhaps not,but the rise of the Internet,which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world,has brought about a real sense of death.Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years.The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票)drop by 54% since the end of 2004,with much of the loss coming in the past year.A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stockholders sell off their Times stock.The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education;its testing and testpreparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.1.What can we learn about the New England Courant?
A.It is mainly about the stock market.B.It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.C.It remains a successful newspaper in America.D.It carries articles by political leaders.答案 B 解析 推理判断题。由文章第一段信息“...and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper.”可知,the New England Courant标志着美国报纸的开始。2.What can we infer about the newspaper editors? A.They often accept readers’ suggestions.B.They care a lot about each other’s health.C.They stop doing business with advertisers.D.They face great difficulties in their business.答案 D 解析 推理判断题。由文章最后一段可推知,现在报纸销售量低,给编辑们带来很大的 挑战。
3.Which of the following found a new way for its development?

After the coming of Europeans to the Americas,Indians were forced to change their way of life.Yet the influence of native American culture is still felt throughout the United States.Many of the foods commonly eaten in the United States today were first grown by American Indians.Among these foods are corn,wheat and sweet potatoes,peanuts,pumpkins,tomatoes,and certain beans and berries.Native Americans also discovered ways to use herbs and other plants as medicines.Native American inventions,such as canoes,ponchos and parkas(风雪衣),hammocks(吊床)and snowshoes are still in use today.Other marks of Indian culture were left in American place names.The state of Alaska,for example,takes its name from a native American word meaning “great land”.
Today nearly 1.5 million native Americans live in the United States.Some still preserve the ways of their ancestors,speaking Indian languages and keeping alive their legends,art forms,and customs.Other native Americans keep few of the old ways,but remain proud of their people’s contributions to the American history.Americans have come to appreciate the beauty of Indian crafts(工艺).Many artists find inspiration in traditional Indian designs.Many Indian values,too,have become widely held.Americans today believe that the land,air and water are precious resources(资源)that must be carefully protected.As one government official wrote recently:
