1、After having lived for over twenty years in the same district, Albert Hall was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.

It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws （爪子）and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend "Bingo". He never found out the dog’s real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert couldn’t give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo’s mercy and had to "buy him" to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his week’s wage to keep Bingo supplied with chocolate that in the end he had to move somewhere else.(10分)

2、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 huge 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

high-voltage transformers (变压器), 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 would-be 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 meaningful?

Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. 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 large-scale change to take place without leaders with attractive personalities, but the pace of change

would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless. (10分) 1、1.What does the first sentence “Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship.” in the first paragraph mean?（单选题）D

A、Many of my generation and I are not strong enough to be heroes.

B、Many of my generation and I are too weak to worship heroes.

C、Many of my generation and I do not worship heroes.

D、Many of my generation and I worship heroes.

2、2.Which of the following is NOT one of heroes’ characte ristics?（单选题）C

A、Doing something worth talking about.

B、Having a story of adventure to tell.

C、Listening to the opinions of his community.

D、Serving powers or principles larger than themselves.

3、3.According to the fourth paragraph, in what sense are heroes like

high-voltage transformers?（单选题）C

A、They instruct and inspire different cultures with their deeds.

B、They set very good examples for ordinary people to follow.

C、Their characteristics give ordinary people strength and confidence.

D、They receive high energy and transform it into heroic action.

4、4.In which of the following aspects famous people are different from heroes?（单选题）D

A、Heroes go beyond mere fame.

B、Famous people serve only their own fame.

C、They are willing to live different lives.

D、Both A and B.

2、Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found 21 the look of the package has a great effect 22 the"quality" of the product and on how well it 23 , because "Consumers generally cannot 24 between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products," as Louis Che skin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.

Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human 25 quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word"green" today can keep food prices 26 .

27 are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are 28 to both the eye and the heart. That’s 29 the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.

This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people 30 to satisfy both body and soul.(10分)
