PART1 BBCCA DABDC PART2 BDABA BCABC PART3 BBDDBDBCBWhat defines a true hero?e-mail print Dec. 15, 2009 |(0) CommentsThe dictionary defines "hero" as "a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his or her brave deeds and noble qualities." Heroes come in many forms in life, ranging from one's family and friends to athletes to movie stars.A person's heroes can change over time. When we're young, I believe we are more inclined to relate heroism to wealth, power and fame than to the attributes the dictionary outlines.In my youth, I probably would have said Michael Jordan was my hero. Ienjoyed watching his athletic talent and admired the tremendous success he achieved. But like any human being, he wasn't perfect. Skeletons in his closet were gradually revealed, and as I matured, I began to realize there were people more worth looking up to. Jordan was a great basketball player but didn't merit worshipping. Incidentally, Tiger Woods' fans are experiencing the same thing today. His indiscretions are yet another reminder that we should all rethink the meaning of "hero."Who among us is truly worthy of being called a hero? As the holidays approach, we hear about the need to help those less fortunate by sacrificing our time, money and possessions. Many of us will attend church services, where we will sing songs of praise and say prayers of thanks to God for saving his fallen, imperfect people. The purpose of this column isn't to preach or convert, but to me, there can be no greater act of heroism than laying down one's life to save others. Jesus is a true hero to me and Christians everywhere.Whether they are religious or not, it's a safe assumption nearly everyone will gather with loved ones this holiday season.Many families, including mine, will have folks missing from the celebration for an especially noble reason:They will be serving our country overseas, protecting our freedom and helping to ensure that future celebrations will be possible. They are also true embodiments of heroism.I have one cousin and one friend currently serving in Iraq. Both of my grandfathers served in the militaryI am fortunate not to have lost anyone close to me to war. My heart goes out to the many who have. But all who have served are worthy of the lofty designation of "hero,"because they loved their country enough to defend its honor and principles and were willing to risk their lives fighting for it.Both active duty personnel I know were overseas while their wives were pregnant and now are temporarily separated from their young children. Their wives maintain order at home and count the days to their return. We pray for their safety and send them care packages of food and gifts. But no matter what happens, my cousin and friend can tell their kids that their daddies are heroes.I hope the children will grow to understand that the title of "hero" is sopriceless that no athlete could afford it.Matthew Zellmer lives in Hales Corners. E-mail mz80@Someone to look up toWhom do our children choose?By Rose McIlveenTo answer the question above, you need to look no further than professional basketball team listings in the television schedules, according to David Gallahue, professor of kinesiology and associate dean of academic affairs and research at the Indiana University School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation in Bloomington.In a survey conducted by HPER's David Gallahue, more than 50 percent of children named a sport figure as their primary hero. Based on gender, 43 percent of girls placed a "my life" person as number one--a teacher, parent or coach-- while only 18 percent of boys did so.Gallahue has been conducting a survey of boys and girls in grades 3-6 in the metropolitan Indianapolis area since 1993 and finds the results troubling. The study was designed to examine the types of heroes children select, with "hero" being defined for participants as "someone you look up to.""The children's choice of pro basketball star Michael Jordan bothers me in several ways: that children regard hang time to be heroic; that girls basically had little choice other than to identify with a male sports figure; and that Mom and Dad, plugging away at the daily business of raising a family, seem unappreciated, especially by boys," said Gallahue.The latter particularly bothered the professor."I thought that heroes would be identified closer to home. I expected more 'my life' heroes--moms, dads, teachers, coaches," said Gallahue.More than 50% of the children named a sport figures as their primaryheroBased on gender, 43 percent of girls placed a "my life" person as number one, while only 18 percent of boys did so."The girls were on balance of where I would like to see children be," said Gallahue. But there was a negative side to the female response. "You know sport is not just a man's world. It's not just NBA basketball, and when you find girls identifying with a male basketball player, I'm not sure that's what we want. Not that it's bad to have girls admire Michael Jordan,but I'd like to see girls have more positive females models in sportGallahue pointed out that there are plenty of role models in the entertainment industry.David Gallahue Photo by Heather Hill"Do we really want every single girl identifying with Madonna?" he questioned. A greater number of female sport figures might also help boys value women more.What surprised Gallahue was that it was not only important but almostimperative that boys name another male as a hero. "Eighty-eight percent of the 'my hero' choices were other males. Seven percent were androgynous, and that was simply because the children wrote something like 'my cousin' or 'my 'coach,' and we couldn't tell the gender," Gallahue explained.He suggested that one reason for the scarcity of female sport figures turning up in the survey is because they are not the ones getting lucrative contracts to promote sneakers and sports drinks. That points up how the children know about sports figures in the first place and why they outweigh "my life" heroes in the survey results."Adults can watch a basketball game and realize that it's coming from hundreds or thousands of miles away. But I think a child sees it as 'Michael Jordan is in my living room.' Then he is identifying with Michael more than he's identifying with Dad. My goodness, Dad in our survey ended up in fourth place with boys."That brings up another concern."I would prefer to see sport figures portrayed as the multi-faceted individuals they are. Now that Michael Jordan has retired, I'd like to seehim portrayed as the family man he is, with wife and children and seen coaching, mentoring or doing anti-drug commercials," Gallahue said.He believes that the survey results bring a challenge to teachers, as well as parents"Teachers could do more in class to celebrate 'my life' heroes. How about a single mom, for example? Kids need to appreciate moms who make sacrifices for them,"Of the 4,000 children surveyed over a three-year period, Gallahue is most concerned about the ones who have no heroes."This whole type of study becomes important because it helps us get into the child a little bit to see where she is, what she's thinking, what or who is really important. "When you see in this study that almost 20 percent of the children, boys and girls combined, could not identify one role model or hero in their lives--20 percent or 800 kids--that's scary, and somehow we've got to do a better job there."The surveys are given at the National Institute for Fitness and Sport in Indianapolis and cover 42 different school districts. In the questionnaire,heroes were grouped in three categories: (a) "Life Heroes" that included family members, teachers and coaches; (b) "Real-Life Heroes" made up of community, national and world-wide figures, and (c) "Larger than Life Heroes" that included fictional。

tips to protect yourself or your family members.Fragile items,like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface,near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up.Never place them near your bed,sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down.When there isa strong movement,these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire outbreaks during an earthquake.Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake,lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged.Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you.Never use the elevator to go down.Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go e the staircases at all times.If you are outdoors,do not take shelter under atree,streetlights,electric poles or tall buildings.If you are driving,stop your car and stay in a safe place.Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.If trapped in debris (瓦砾堆),cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find e a whistle (哨子) if it is available.Never shout forhelp.Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust.Do not light a match because you may burn yourself.Do not move about or kick up dust.1.What does the underlined word “Fragile” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Easily broken.B.Easily found.C.Expensive.D.Heavy.2.To reduce the injury from the earthquake,where should items made of glass be put?A.On cupboards.B.In the bedroom.C.On a lower surface.D.The places where children can’t reach them.3.During an earthquake,what are people advised to do?A.Go out of the building at once.B.Turn off power and gas immediately.C.Take shelter under a tree.D.Drive to a safe place.4.What does the passage tell to readers?A.The damage caused by earthquakes.B.The rescue work after earthquakes.C.What to do during earthquakes.D.How to prevent earthquakes.B主题语境:森林大火难度系数:★★★☆☆建议用时:7分钟Peruvian firefighters were fighting to control a forest fire near Machu Picchu on Thursday,as the flames threatened to close in on the ancient city high in the Andean mountains.Machu Picchu,a site of Inca ruins sitting on top of a mountain,was built in the mid-15th century by the Incas,whose empire controlled large areas of South America from what is today southern Ecuador to central Chile.Considered as one of the new seven wonders of the world,it is a top tourist attraction in Cusco,Peru.The fire,which had damaged an area about half the size of Vatican City,was started on June 28, by farmers burning grass to prepare to plant new seeds.Since Tuesday,about 20 hectares (49acres) had been affected by the fire,the mayor of the nearby city of Cusco said.The fire’s remot eness greatly influenced firefighting efforts.“We have already been fighting the forest fire for two days and it has not been possible to get it under control,for the area is quite far away and hard to reach,” said Roberto Abarca,director of the Cusco Risk Management and Security Office.Some 600 firefighters and volunteers battled the fire,and helicopters dropped retardants(阻燃剂) in front of the flames to prevent them from spreading to archaeological(考古学的)sites.“The fire has left the critical zone where th ere are archaeological monuments,but is still burning fiercely,” the government said.While South America’s top archaeological treasure was safe from the fire,experts feared the destruction of thousands of acres of nearby forest would damage Machu Picchu’s attraction to tourists.5.What can be learned about Machu Picchu?A.It has a history of a thousand years.B.How and why it was built remains unknown.C.It covers an area from southern Ecuador to central Chile.D.It is regarded as one of the new seven wonders of the world.6.What do we know about the fire from the passage?A.It was put out before it reached archaeological sites.B.Its remoteness added to the difficulty of firefighting.C.It was started when farmers were planting new seeds.D.It affected about 49 acres of Machu Picchu altogether.7.How does the writer show the seriousness of the fire?A.By using numbers.B.By giving definitions.C.By providing eaking comparison.8.Where is the passage probably taken from?A.A story collection.B.A tourist brochure.C.A weekly newspaper.D.A geography magazine.Ⅴ.七选五主题语境:自然灾害难度系数:★★★☆☆建议用时:7分钟China is one of the countries with the most serious natural disasters in the world.There are many kinds of disasters,with wide distribution,high frequency and heavy losses.In the background of global climate change,major natural disasters occur from time to time. 1 It makes China face even much more severe and complex situations.In order to raise the awareness of disaster prevention and minimize the losses,warnings and instructions are given to the public. 2 Let’s have a look.FireWhen a fire breaks out,smoke threatens mostly. 3 Roll on the ground if you find your clothes on fire.It is too dangerous to take the elevator in this situation,so it is better to use a bundle of rope and safely slide down from the balcony.Jumping off the building blindly will cause serious injuries.Mud-rockflowRainstorms may cause mud-rock flow,and it’s really dangerous to stay downstream.When you try to escape from it,instead of going along the bottom of the ditch,it is much wiser to climb up the mountain horizontally and quickly.Please escape from the ditch when selecting a camping field.It’s important to check the weather when going into the mountain.Flood4 We could use a wooden bed or table to make a raft and tie it to a big tree with a safety rope.We have to prepare food and warm clothes to get through it.LightningstrikeOn cloudy and rainy days,a lightning strike may happen. 5 Of course,you also should stay away from iron tower poles.We need to pay attention to it even when we stay at home.Close the doors,windows and cut off the power.A.Cut off the power and shut off water sources.B.Please don’t stand under the tree in such kind of weather.C.Try to find a higher place,bu t staying on a roof isn’t a good choice.D.First you need to take shelter,and then find a gap under the table or bed.E.Losses caused by natural disasters in China are continuously increasing.F.They also play a part in popularizing the knowledge andself-rescue skills.G.In that case,please cover your nose and your mouth with a wet towel.Ⅵ.完形填空主题语境:人物故事难度系数:★★★☆☆建议用时:12分钟Many people panic when things go wrong,but others know how to take charge.For a 1 group of students in Topsham,Maine,brothers Connor and Seamus Collins fall

Unit6Active reading (1)Last man down: the fireman’s storyLanguage points1 Last man down: the fireman’s story (Title)The expression last man down, similar to last man standing, refers to the survivor or winner. The lastman down from the tower before it collapsed would be one of the bravest.2 There were about two dozen of us by the bank of elevators ... (Para 2)A bank of elevators means a set of lifts.3 Some had their turnout coats off, or tied around their waists. (Para 2) Turnout coats are the uniform firefighters wear when they turn out for a fire.4 Others were raring to go. (Para 2)The expression raring to go is an old form of rearing up, and means being eager to go like a horse.5 All of us were taking a beat to catch our breaths, and our bearings, figure out what the hell wasgoing on. (Para 2)To take a beat means to rest for a moment.A bearing is an exact compass reading measured in degrees. To take your bearings is to find where youare. Here it means both physically and mentally.6 We’d been at this thing, hard, for almost an hour, some a little bit less, and we were nowhere closeto done. (Para 2)To be at this thing is a slang expression which means to work on this mission. The expression nowhere close to done means someone is far from completing their work.7 Of course, we had no idea what there was left to do, but we hadn’t made a dent. (Para 2)A dent is a mark on a piece of metal as when you bump your car. To make a dent in something is to havean effect on it (imagine beating a piece of hard steel and not making any mark on it). To make a dent heremeans to achieve something. The firefighters had hardly begun their work.8 As if we could see clear through the ceiling tiles for an easy answer. (Para 3)Looking up for the source of the noise was only useful if you could see through the floors above, but itstill remained an instinctive reaction.9 The building was shaking like in an earthquake, like an amusement park thrill ride gone berserk …(Para 3)The word berserk was originally about ancient Viking warriors who worshipped a bear god (ber). Theywould go into a terrible rage or madness when fighting. It now means utterly and dangerously crazy.10 The way it coursed right through me. (Para 3)To course means to run or flow somewhere quickly. The noise and vibration have a strong physical effecton the writer.11 I thought about my wife and my kids, but only fleetingly and not in any kind of life-flashing-beforemy-eyes sort of way. (Para 4)Life flashing before my eyes is a claim made by someone who has near-death experiences, as in anaccident, of seeing a slow motion version of the most important events in their lives. Researchers say itmay be the reaction of the brain to trauma.Streets full of heroes Unit 619912 Or, “We’ll all meet at the big one.” (Para 4)After any fire, the fighters use the expression the big one to minimize that fire and suggest there willalways be a bigger one coming. It is a brave act of understatement.13 I never knew how it started, or when I’d picked up on it myself, but it was part of our shorthand. (Para 4)To pick up on it means to learn it and start using it. It is a slang expression. Shorthand is a system of writing used for taking down fast speech. It uses symbols for common wordsand can only be understood by people who learn it. Firemen have their own spoken shorthand (as do mostprofessions). To an outsider, the big one would not mean much, but as the writer explains it was rich inmeaning to him and his colleagues.14 I fumbled for some fix on the situation, thinking maybe if I understood what was happening I couldsteel myself against it.

Theycause people to lose their homes, theirpossessions, or even their lives. In a word, theycan be downright (32)tragic. However, aftersuch disasters strike is often a time ofunbelievable (33)bravery and courage.Earthquakes and hurricanes may cause the worstthings to happen, but they also bring out the bestin people.In 2005, one of the worst hurricanes in recent memory formed over the Gulf of Mexico and moved over the southeastern United States. Known as Hurricane Katrina, it was devastating for many major cities, especially New Orleans, and the people who lived there. While some people managed to (34)evacuate and find safety outside of the city, many did not. Unfortunately, they were left (35)homelesswhen the floods filled the streets and drowned their houses.It is hard to use too many (36)superlativewords to describe Katrina. It was one of the worst storms in history. It caused the deaths of more than a thousand people. It displaced tens of thousands more. Still, there was an enormous (37)turnout of people who wanted to help. These people certainly deserve our(38)admiration and respect.In the days following the storm, details of whathappened were all over the news. There were hundreds of (39)correspondents from all over the world in New Orleans to cover the story. Between the journalists telling this story to the world and the thousands of ordinary people who wanted to help those affected by the storm, the lives of New Orleans's residents were made a little more (40)humane.Your answer Correct answer(31) m assive massive(32) t ragic tragic(33) b ravery bravery(34) e vacuate evacuate(35) h omeless homeless(36) s uperlative superlative(37) t urnout turnout(38) a dmiration admiration(39) c orrespondents correspondents(40) h umane humanePart III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on thefollowing passage.Have you ever thought about travelling abroad? Do you yearn to see what the world has to offer? Are you tired of simply hearing about other cultures and want to finally experience some of them? Why simply travel the world, though, when you can actively make a difference?Too many people visit countries to see the famous landmarks, taste the local food, and experience life away from their familiar hometowns. However, you can also give something back to the communities in which you travel. Volunteer vacations are becoming increasingly popular, and many people are discovering that they have much more rewarding and satisfying travel experiences when they volunteer their time and energy to worthwhile causes.Many volunteer vacations are easy to organize and simple to execute. Others are more complicated.There are opportunities for every budget, schedule, and amount of effort you're willing to dedicate. It's really up to you. You can teach a language in Africa. You can help build a school in Southeast Asia or a home for a low-income family close to your home. You can help national park employees conserve endangered plants and animals. You can go hiking and help preserve and maintain trail systems. You can volunteer at an orphanage and help keep children safe. The options are limitless and literally encompass anything you can possibly imagine.We often hear about the heroic deeds that some people do to help others when they are most in need, but why wait until a major disaster to give back? Volunteering your time, skills, knowledge, and energy to meaningful projects in the areas of education, health, sanitation, and construction is just as valuable.Ironically, many countries that are popular vacation destinations are also most in need of aid and assistance. Prominent world citizens such asBill Clinton and Kofi Annan repeatedly extol the virtues of volunteerism and claim that true heroes are those people who give what they can with no expectation of anything in return.Next time you plan a vacation, won't you consider a volunteer vacation? You might make all the difference in the world.41. W here is a likely place that this passage mightappear?A. On a marketing brochure for avolunteer vacation organizer.B. In a newspaper editorial about theneed for emergency volunteers.C. On a travel brochure for a popularvacation destination.D. In a magazine article aboutvolunteerism among prominent worldcitizens. 42.
