By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished byuncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where trueheroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us-an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic,. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebr ities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death—such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.∙∙ A. life and death B. heroes and heroines C. heroes and icons D. icons and celebrities∙∙ A. courageous B. good examples to follow C. self-sacrificing D. all of the above∙∙ A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth B. Superstars are famous for being famous C. One’s look can contribute to being famous D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times∙∙ A. when she was 19 B. when she became a princess C. just before her death D. after she gave birth to a prince∙∙ A. Good looks. B. Tragic and early death. C. Personal attraction. D. The quality of one’s story.阅读理解17.The Chinese New Year is now known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the beginning of spring. Though there are some sayings about its origin, all agree that the word Nian, which in modern Ch inese means “year”, was originally the name of a beast that started to eat people the night before the beginning of a new year.One story goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would take in a great many people at one time. People were very afraid. One day, an old man came to their help and said he would stop all this. He said to Nain, “I hear that you are very strong, but can you eat up all the beasts on earth instead of people who are too weak to be your enemies?” “Yes,” Nian agreed with him and went to kill many of the beasts on earth. People were very happy because those beasts also did bad things to people and killed their farm animals from time to time.After that, the old man, who was a god, rode on the beast Nian and left. Nian was gone, and other beasts also went into forests; people began to enjoy their happy life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper cuts on their widows and doors at each year’s end to drive Nian away, because red is the color the beast felt most afraid of.From then on, every year at the beginning of spring, people prepare to “Guo Nian”. The word “Guo Nian” means “go through the Nian safely.” Putting up red paper-cuts to drive Nian away and making dumplings for a better new year are still an every year doing by the Chinese people. However people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, they just feel the color and the food make the New Year very enjoyable.∙∙ A. the Beginning of Spring B. the Spring Festival C.

I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t really excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins , and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride.After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten you seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrongplane!Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, s ince the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!38.Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain?A. She missed her cousins very much.B. Her aunt begged her to go there.C. She could hardly afford any better trip.D. Spain was her ideal destination.39.In the story, the writer ended up .A. flying to London immediatelyB. heading for Spain from JamaicaC. complaining to the authorities D .enjoying a free beach holiday40.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. A Lucky MistakeB. A Terrible AdventureC. A Nice DreamD. A Well-Planned Trip(B)With the cost of college rising in the U.S., some students are washing their hands of the American education system, grabbing their passports, and seeking cheaper degrees abroad. The number of students doing so has increased 2 percent annually in recent years, according to the Department of Education.In 2009, Jessica Fuller, then 25, was employed at a small private university in Philadelphia as a clerk in an office. Bored with her job and becoming increasingly interested in healthcare industry, Fuller knew she would need a master’s degree in public hea lth for her dream career.At first, Fuller wanted a school in New York and Pennsylvania, but with many programs costing over $30,000 per year for tuition alone, she decided on an option she could better afford---- the Netherlands. A similar degree in health economics cost less than $ 17,000 for a one-year program.To finance her education at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Fuller took out a $30,000 bank loan through her mother’s credit, which covered tuition and fees, as well as air travel and living expenses for her year abroad.The cost may be lower, but is the quality of education overseas just as good as an American university? Jessica Fuller says in her case, yes: she found a consulting job with Marsh Inc. as an International Knowledge Manager shortly after she graduated from Erasmus University, and says that the university ---and its location were definitely a factor.“Many Erasmus professors were world famous experts in their fields,” says Fuller. “Considering the variety of the students, the class d iscussions were very robust. Having an “international” advantage made a huge difference.”41.Why did Jessica Fuller want to study for a master’s degree?A.She could afford tuition at Erasmus University.B.Her job required more professional skills.C.She was bored with healthcare industry.D.Her interest was in public health.42.Jessica was able to go to Erasmus University by .A. using her own credit cardB. having a part-time jobC. getting a scholarship from the universityD. obtaining a loan from a bank43.The word “robust” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “”.A. awkward and fruitlessB. strong and vigorousC. peaceful and pleasantD. brief and informal44.Jessica’s cas e shows that there is a tendency among U.S. students to .A. choose t study overseasB. look for jobs abroadC. seek education of higher qualityD. take one-year program( C )A lot of people today are used to working, going on holiday, and having money---but many of them aren’t happy. Yet other people seem to be really happy , even if they are poor. Why?Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, from the University of Chicago, has interviewed thousands of people who have a happy life to find out how they do it. “I’ve been studying happiness for over 30 years,” he says. “My interest in the subject came from my own experience as a child during World War II , when I saw many adults destroyed by the terrible events. But there were always a few who kept their courage, helped others, and were able to give a sense of purpose and meaning to their lives. I wanted to find out how a person could build a fulfilling and enjoyable life.”In general, his research showed that people were unhappy doing nothing. The professor stresses that happy people didn’t waste time, either at work or when they are free. “Many people feel that the time they spend at work or at school is wasted. But often their free time is also wasted. Many people are used to doing passive things----watching television, for example without using any skills. As a result, life goes past in a series of boring experiences.”But it doesn’t have to be this way. The professor has found that people are happy when get into something he calls “flow”. When people get very involved in a task that they have chosen, and which is well-defined and challenging , they experience “flow”, a state where they don’t notice time passing.They also experience enjoyment. Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, makes a contrast between enjoyment and pleasure. “I used to think they were the same thing but they’re not! Pleasure is a big bowl of ice cream, or taking a hot bath on a cold day nothing bad at all! But enjoyment is about doing something and achieving something.
