AOnce many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family out from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life?Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave”. As I read on, it also said “a person who is good andnoble ”．That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local WalMart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed me by, I said, “How are you today?” Most of the time that would be no big deal, but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time.Having been near “the end of my rope”， after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor.56．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. Why Should You Be A Hero?B. What Exactly Is A Hero?C. I Am A HeroD. Everyone Is A Hero57. The underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 4 means the behavior that is ________.A. polite and respectfulB. brave and fearlessC. smart and considerateD. cute and kind58. After the writer got divorced, ________.A．he devoted all his life to helping the poorB．he led a very happy lifeC．he led an extremely unhappy and uncomfortable lifeD．he found much pleasure in supporting the homeless59. According to this passage, which of the following can be considered as the behavior of a hero?A. Holding a door open for someone. B．Sending someone a wonderful card. C．Keeping writing stories for children. D．Being kind to someone who has a hard time.BSix Hours Free ParkingIf you spend $ 100 or more in our stores you will receive six hours of free parking.

In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth.”For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.”Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth. In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something. The other person might protest: “I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth.”Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.Parents might sometimes withhold sweet food from a child as a form of punishment for saying bad things. For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as a mouthy child. The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off.But enough of all this talk. I have been running my mouth long enough.64．In what kind of situation will a person say “Do not bad mouth me.” ?A．When he feels down. B．When he feels regretful.C．When he is spoken ill of. D．When he feels innocent.65．What will the person say if he feels sorry for what he has said?A．Do not bad mouth me.B．Stop mouthing off.C．Do not put words in my mouth.D．I really put my foot in my mouth this time.66．If a person lives from hand to mouth, it implies________.A．he is badly – off B．he is hard – workingC．he is well – off D．he has enough to eat67．What is mainly talked about in the text?A．Expressions about the word “mouth”.B．Functions of the organ “mouth”.C．Opinions about “mouthy people”.D．Meanings of the word “mouth”.DAs the new term starts, freshmen around the world are asking the same question: how can I make the best of four years at college? The New Times received suggestions recently from PhD students and seniors at some of the top US universities. Here’s their advice:“ Many yo ung people today are raised in a protective cocoon(茧)”, wrote Tim Novikoff, a PhD student at Cornell College. It is a time to explore the world beyond and a chance to learn new things about yourself. Take classes in different subjects. Try lots of differen t clubs activities.”Remember also to take some time away from campus, suggested Willie Lin, a student at Washington University. “Meet people who are not professors or fellow students. If you spend all of your time in school, then it becomes too easy to let criticism from an unkind professor or a conflict with a roommate take up large proportions.”Try to find work assisting a researcher or a professor---this is the advice from Aman Singh Gill, a PhD student at Stony Brook University. And he also said, “With a window into the world of research, you will find yourself thinking more critically, accepting fewer states at face value and perhaps developing a brave sense of what you can accomplish.”Many young people cannot imagine even a single day without devices such as computers and cell phones. But try to keep yourself off them, cautioned Christine Smallwood, a PhD student at Columbia University.Start by scheduling a few Internet-free hours each day, with your phone turned off. It’s the o nly way you’ll able to read anything serious. “ This will also have the benefit of making you harder to reach, and thus more mysterious and fascinating to new friends and acquaintances(熟人)，” she suggested.68. The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 means we should_____.A. spend more time at schoolB. go out of schoolC. listen to criticism moreD. not argue with roommates69. As for modern information devices, the last two paragraphs means to tell us____.A. not to use themB. to turn them offC. to keep ourselves off themD. to make wise use of them70. This passage is mainly about ____.A. tips from some students for college lifeB. ways to read something serious regularlyC. days without cell phones and computersD. chances to go to university you really like第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
