enjoy most in a museumbsome people may say a hero is someone older than you, someone you personally know, someone who has done something everyone knows about, etc. i dont think a hero necessarily has to be an older person or a close friend or a family member. my hero is younger than me, but we are related. his name is marcus. he is my cousin. he isnt necessarily a wise person or someone who does something great every day, but he has taught me to appreciate some of the simple things in life.i am now in 11th grade. when i was in 8th grade, marcus had a brain tumor (脑瘤) which had to be removed. thankfully, the tumor was benign (良性的). when the doctors removed it, marcus lost his sight. he felt down only once. ever since then, he has been an extremely happy second-grader. he is very typical (典型的) of a nine-year-old. he likes to tell jokes and play new games, and he likes to play tricks on people. i love spending time with him. we go to movies whenever there is a good one and i look after him every chance i get.i say that marcus helps me to appreciate the simple things in life. he doesnt have his sight and that makes me realize how lucky i am to be able to see, to walk, and to talk. i can do everything i need to. if everyone could see how happy and satisfied marcus is and how much he makes everyone around him happy, then they might just be able to better appreciate the simple things in life.60. it can be inferred that the author has _.a. the same idea about heroes as othersb. a different idea about heroes from othersc. the idea that a hero must be olderd. the idea that a hero must be a close friend61. why does the author consider his cousin as a hero?a. because his cousin is a very wise person.b. because his cousin does great things every day.c. because his cousin teaches him how to enjoy a simple life.d. because his cousin teaches him to live a rich life.62. when did marcus have a brain tumor?a. three years ago.b. four years ago.c. six years ago.d. nine years ago.63. what makes the author think himself lucky?a. marcus simple life.b. marcus happiness.c. marcus blindness.d. marcus recovery.cbesides the excitement of travel, one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs, holidays, foods, art, music, and politics firsthand.“i learned the language and am now fluent, but perhaps whats more important was how much i learned about cultures, people, and myself. i learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family, not from the tourists point of view,” says andrew, who studied in poitiers, france.another reason for studying abroad is that youll gain self-confidence. christina studied in caracas, venezuela, a city of 10 million people and a huge change from her home town of 35,000! christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language. what could make you more confident than that?living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition (过渡) to college and adulthood. mathew says he returned from studying in australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers (同龄人). “after having gone abroad in high school, i found the transition to college to be a breeze moving 560 miles from home didnt seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away.”most of all, its fun while youre studying in a different learning environment.64. the passage is mainly about _.a. the benefits of studying abroadb. living in a foreign countryc. the excitement of traveld. learning a language65. what did andrew pay special attention to while studying abroad?a. host families.b. the foreign cultures.c. places of interest. d. community problems.66. the example of christina mainly shows that studying abroad can _.a. change our habits b. offer us opportunitiesc. increase our knowledged. build our confidence67. the underlined words “a breeze” in paragraph 4 probably refer to _.a. something very importantb. something very interestingc. something very easy d. something very softdjapanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. they feel heavy pressures (压力) from their parents. most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted (有天赋的) enough. many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer. they become dropouts.it is surprising that though most japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers work to help their children. to make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.many japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. child psychologists (心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.68. “dropouts” are those who _.a. make troubles in and out of schoolsb. go about or stay home instead of being at schoolc. try hard but always fails in the examsd. lose hope and give up some of their subjects69. according to the passage, its necessary to teach students the following things except _.a. how to tell right from wrongb. how to get on with othersc. how to show love and care for othersd. how to live by themselves70. which of the following can be the best title of the passage?a. the trouble in japanese schoolsb. the problems of japanese parentsc. education in japand. the pressures on the students in japan 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to
