The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people 36 . If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential(潜势，潜力) of that nation. For example, the youngsters in China nowadays have taken Yang Liwei 37 since the launch(发射) of Shenzhou .If today in America you ask the high school students to list their heroes, the 38 would probably fall into three types. The first type of heroes would be the rock starsthe people 39 with rock music. Theres no doubt that such people have talent but one often wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are 40 with drugs and their personal life is not all that 41 . The rock stars are rich and they wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should 42 more in a hero than such things 43 money and fine clothes.A second type of heroes for the American youth are the sports stars. 44 , a hero of this kind is a person who has a talent in one areasports. However, too often the personal life of the sports stars is 45 disordered. Too frequently drugs and drinking are part of 46 of the sports stars.A third type of heroes are the TV or movie stars. These people may have lots of 47 talent and are quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite pessimistic(悲观的) and 48 be held up as a model for young people.Today, the rock stars, the sportsmen and the actors 49 have become the models of the youth in America. Really, have you heard that a young persons hero was 50 , a teacher or a scientist? These people are not 51 and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are 52 people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone. What is really sad is that the young try to 53 their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes as theirs. If the heroes of today of the America youth are 54 only to rock stars, sportsmen and actors, the future does not look too 55 .36ArespectBadmireCsatisfyDhold37Aon the tip of their tongueBas a modelCto be admiredDto hear from38AchoiceBconclusionCmajorityDsuggestion39AinterestedBconnectedCexcitedDpleased1,3,540AsatisfiedBlivingCworkingDmixed41AsimpleBexcitingCgoodDbad42AseekBgatherCspendDbe after43AlikeBbesidesCexceptDas44AThis timeBInsteadCHoweverDAgain45AlittleBa bitCkind ofDsome46AsportsBlifeCthingsDtalent47AteachingBrunningCactingDspeech48Ashould notBshouldCmustDmay not49AbothBeach oneCallDnone50Aa managerBa boyCa womanDa doctor51ArichBpopularChealthyDkind52AgoodBtalentedCfamousDstrong53ApersuadeBpraiseCrememberDfollow54AsetBlimitedCgivenDcalled55AbrightBfarCnecessaryDimportant第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AWomen turn to online shoppingWomen have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the U.S.For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2006 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”, said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project Group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop on line to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic(显著的) increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However, three quarters of the U.S. Internet users did not buy holiday gifts on line in 2006. They worried about credit card security, or just compared online prices with off line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers dont buy on line, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of Comscore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“Its all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.56Which of the following states is TRUE?AThere were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2006.BMost of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.CPeople in the U.S. were more likely to buy gifts on line.DMore women shopped on line than men in 2006.57From the passage we can infer that _.Amen usually decide how to spend money in the familyBwomen usually decide what to buy in the familyCthe Internet is used in all the shopsDmore and more shops will sell their goods on line.58According to the passage, shopping on line _.Ais unsafeBis convenientCis a waste of timeDis cheaper59What can we know from the passage?AAmerican people only buy gifts in holidays.BShopping on line is fun for women.CShopping off line provides better service.DYoung people like to do gift-shopping on line.60According to Rainie, _.Amore women than men will shop on lineBmore men than women will shop on lineCmore young men than old men will shop on lineDmore old men than young men will shop on lineBRome had the Forum(广场). London has Speakers Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk.Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “Talk to Me”, they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They dont collect money. They dont push religion(宗教). So whats the point?“To see what happens,” said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open communication(交流).”Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.“It started as a crazy idea,” Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories people will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.”Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.Marcia had lost her husband because of a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind,” Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say theyll consider.61What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 2001?AChatting with people.BSetting up street signs.CTelling stories to strangers.DOrganizing a speakers corner62What they have been doing can be described as _.ApointlessBnormalCcrazyDsuccessful63Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text?AThey knew Liz and Bill very well.BThey happened to meet the writer of the text.CThey organized the get-together in the city park.DThey are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill.64What will Liz and Bill do in the future?AGo in for publishing.BDo more television programs.CContinue what they are doing.DSpend more time reading books.65How do they like the idea of writing a book?AThey have decided to wait a year or two.BThey will think about it carefully.CThey agreed immediately.DThey find it hard to do that.CCindy glanced nervously at the clock on the kitchen wall. “They should be home any time now,” she thought as she put the finishing touches on the chocolate cake. But Cindy wasnt thinking about the mess. She was anxious for her parents to return home from their date so she could present her anniversary gift to them. She turned off the kitchen lights and waited excitedly in the darkness. When at last she saw the flash of the car headlights, she positioned herself in the kitchen doorway. Her parents tried to slip in quietly, but Cindy would have none of that. She jumped to the lights dramatically and trumpeted: “Ta-daaa!” She gestured grandly toward the kitchen table, where a slightly off-balance two-layer chocolate cake awaited their inspection.But her mothers eyes never made it all the way to the table. “Just look at this mess!” She moaned(悲叹). “How many times have I talked to you about cleaning up after yourself?”“But Mom, I was only”“Honey,” Cindys father interjected(插话) gently, “take a look at the table.”“I knowits a mess,” his wife said coldly. “The whole kitchen is a disaster. I cant stand to look at it.” She stormed up(直冲) the stairs and into her room, shutting the door behind her.For a few moments Cindy and her father stood silently, neither one knowing what to say. At last she looked up at him, her eyes moist(湿润) and red. “She never saw the cake,” she said.Unfortunately, Cindys mother isnt the only parent who suffers from Situational Tubercular Glaucomathe occasional inability(不能) to see the forest for the trees. Muddy shoes, lost lunch money and messy kitchens are troublesome, and they deserve their place among lifes frustrations(挫折). But whats a little mudeven on new carpetcompared to a childs self-esteem(自尊)? Is a lost dollar more valuable than a youngsters emerging dignity?(高贵)66Cindy was anxious for her parents to return home to _.Apresent her parents the giftBturn off the kitchen lightsCask for a gift from her parentsDget her parents praise67The reason why her mother was angry is that _.ACindy surprised her by jumping to the lightsBCindy made a mess in the kitchenCthe cake on the table didnt look niceDthe cake on the table was in a mess68The author writes the story mainly to tell us _.Aparents should love their childrenBparents should respect their childrens feelingCchildren should learn to be cleanDchildren should learn responsibility69Why Cindys eyes were moist and red?ABecause she was misunderstood by her mother.BBecause she was shouted at by her father.CBecause her mother didnt see the cake but the mess in the kitchen.DBecause her mother suffered from an illness and didnt see the cake.70In the writers opinion, _.Aa lost dollar is more valuable than a childs dignityBchildrens self-esteem is more importantCchildren are to blame for messy kitchens and muddy shoesDchildren suffer the painful results of their own bad choicesDA classic series of experiments to determine the effects of overpopulation on communities of rats was conducted by a psychologist, John Calhoun. In each experiment, an equal number of male and female adult rats were placed in an enclosure(圈定的地方). The rat populations were allowed to increase. Calhoun knew from experience approximately how many rats could live in the enclosure without experiencing stress due to overcrowding(拥挤). He allowed the population to increase to approximately twice this number. Then he stabilized(稳定) the population by removing the ones that were not depe
