24、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(特点) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.

A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just the person with great 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 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, eat 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．gives us courage

B．thinks highly of others

C．shares great fame

D．stands on the mountaintop

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

A．experience a new and meaningful life

B．listen to something worth talking about

C．serve your own fame and try to be famous

D．know where and how you want to live and die

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

A．风景

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 stores

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

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

25、My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this case he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged (乞求)him. Nothing worked.

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and begged for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you. ”

I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences. ” Before he could say another word, I choked (哽咽)up and all my disappointment (失望) and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands. ” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time. ” and hung up.

Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around.

After the meeting, Karl said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year? ” I nodded.

“That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud. ”

27、Picture the scene: It’s midnight. You’re very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Do you eat it? It seems that you shouldn’t, for many reasons, including its influence on your studies.

Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains — it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.

“We believe that late-night eating may affect (影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,” Dawn Loh, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said, “We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged (受损的) memory.”

For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans. For two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep. The mice received the same amount(数量) of sleep and calories.

Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by.

The researchers noticed that, when the mice were put in the room again, those mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didn’t remember.

So think twice before the midnight snack — it might be bad for more than your weight.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to（指代）?

A．Studying for long.

B．A nice pie.

C．A new study.

D．Late-night eating.

【2】For the study, the researchers need .

A．to check the brains of the mice before the test started

B．to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleep

C．to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the time .

D．to let the mice receive the same amount of sleeep and calories.

【3】According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?

A．A recent study shows late eating affects weight.

B．What we eat can affect learning and memory.

C．The mice that ate during sleeping hours didn’t remember.

D．The mice that ate during usual hours didn’t remember.

【4】Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

A．Eating snacks affects memory

B．Late eating hurts brain

C．Never stay up late

D．Keep away from snacks

28、   Life is just like a box of chocolate. For me, the most valuable thing in this box is a crumpled（皱巴巴的）drawing.

One day, my mom was angry with me about spending too much time 【1】 my drawing homework. Not being able to control my temper（脾气）, I crumpled the drawing into a ball 【2】 threw it on the ground. I slammed（把……砰地关上）the door in front of my mom and locked myself in my bedroom.

Several minutes later, my mom knocked on 【3】 bedroom door, telling me that she could help me to deal with the drawing so that I could hand it in to my teacher the next day. Suddenly, I felt so warm in my heart 【4】 I rushed out of the room and gave my mom a big hug. We both laughed out loud.

From then on, whenever I see the crumpled drawing, I remind myself that I 【5】 learn to control my temper. And it turns out that I can control it better than I used to.
