21、阅读理解。

Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.

Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.

A hero does something worth (值得) talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of (高度评价) it. But a hero is not just the person with great power fame (声誉).

A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests (暗示) they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.

A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr, Americans might take different buses, cat in different restaurants; go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colours of their skin.

There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.

【1】According to this passage, a hero is a person who always ___________.

A．thinks highly of others

B．gives us courage

C．shares great fame

D．stands on the mountaintop

【2】If you want to live like a hero, you should ___________.

A．listen to something worth talking about

B．experience a new and meaningful life

【3】The underlined word “vision” in the passage means ___________.

A．图像

B．想象

C．远见

D．形象

【4】Black people in America used to ___________ before Martin Luther King, Jr.

A．shop at the white’s store

B．drive buses with the white

C．take walks in the white’s parks

D．eat in restaurants without the white

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A．We don’t need heroes anymore at some point now.

B．Heroes are all the same though different in cultures.

C．Our society has developed faster because of heroes in history.

D．People get power from heroes to move to a new place.

22、Once there was a piano player in a bar(酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.

＂I don’t sing,＂ said the man.

But the lady told the waiter, ＂I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!＂

The waiter shouted across the room, ＂Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!＂

So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!

23、Do you remember when your grandma told you the story of Snow White? Ah, the happy days of childhood!

But did you know that Snow White comes from Germany? It’s just one story from the 209 in Grimm’s Fairy Tales (《格林童话》). The Grimm brothers started to collect fairy tales in 1806. Their first book came out in 1812.

Why are German fairy tales so interesting? Maybe it’s because they come from a great place famous for its stories—the Black Forest.

The Black Forest is in southwest Germany. It’s the largest forest in the country—and one of the most beautiful. It’s famous for its trees and lovely views. There are valleys and waterfalls there. It’s a good place to start a story.
