The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential(潜力) of that nation.Today in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choice would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock starsthe people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent(天才) but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area-sports. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a disorder. Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people. Today, the rock star, the athlete, and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher, or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.What is really sad is that the young try to imitate(模仿) their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.39. The last sentence of the first paragraph implies that_.A. what the people admire will make the future of the nationB .heroes of a nation will make the nation itselfC. if a nation has a lot of heroes, it will be strongD. if you want to be a hero, you must admire the hero40. From the passage, we know that the heroes the American youth admire are those _.A. who are not bright but are good-lookingB. who are rich but are strict with themselvesC. who are talented for some area but lead an improper lifeD. who are perfect in all areas41. According to the writer, people should admire those_.A. who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes B. who can express peoples feelingsC. whose personal life is goodD. who work for the interests of the people42.

He is uninterested in it.CA few months ago the pilot of a small plane had an unusual adventure. He took off from an airport runaway on a training flight. A strong wind blew the plane sideways, and it touched the top of a tree. Both wheels of the plane were knocked off but the plane didnt crash.The pilot sent a radio message to the airport. He did not know how to land without wheels. The airport controller promised to help the pilot. He telephoned the airport firemen and told them what to do.A fireman saw a long, open lorry. It was waiting at the airport building to collect some goods. The fireman borrowed it and drove to one of the airport runways. Then he turned round and waited for the plane to come. The airport controller sent a radio message to the pilot. He told him to try to land on top of the lorry. The fireman drove quickly along the runways and the pilot flew down to land. Luckily, he managed to land on the lorry. Part of the lorry was damaged and the tail of the plane was broken but nobody was injured.

A Pilot and a FiremanDOur math test started and I was sitting there and working away quite quickly. I looked around with 15 minutes left, because I had finished and was checking my test.I noticed something very special!Mr. Ward was staring right at one of the kids that seemed to be only halfway done with his test. Every test we took, there was always one guy scrambling at the last minute to finish his test. He would turn the pages and you saw blank spot after blank spot. Sometimes I even saw entire pages that were left blank. Mr. Ward did not take his eyes off this kid. It seemed strange to me. For the rest of the test, Mr. Ward watched that kid as he struggled furiously, flipping papers back and forth and writing furiously and erasing even more furiously. He seemed to use his calculator a lot more than he needed. After the test was finished, Mr. Ward gave his end of the year speech, basically along the lines of good luck and good job. Then I saw him go to the kid he was watching and tell the kid to go into the hall. Mr. Ward walked out of the room and went into the hall silently. He closed the door and from that moment on, I heard about 4 minutes of Mr. Ward shouting at the kid. He got his test torn up and a zero for the end of the year exam and also failed for the term and had to take summer school.That was the first and the last time that I had seen Mr. Ward ever yet like that. Obviously the guy had written his answers inside the sleeve(套筒) of the calculator looking at the formulas and other information he had written inside of the sleeve, which was all in vain because Mr. Ward spotted it a mile away.47. From this passage we know that .A. Mr. Ward disliked his students B. the student Mr. Ward was staring at wasnt good at mathematics at allC. the student Mr. Ward was noticing was working at his test quicklyD. the author was trying to help the kid out48. The underlined word “lines” in Paragraph 4 refers to .A. the math exams B. the summer schoolC. the math papers D. Mr. Wards speech at the end of the school year 49. The student used his calculator again and again because he .A. intended to attract Mr. Wards attention B. needed to calculateC. wanted to glance at what he had hidden inside the sleeve of the calculatorD. felt too frightened to use it properly with Mr. Ward staring at him50. We can infer from this passage that .A. Mr. Ward was working as a math teacher for a long time B. the student was asking the author for help when caught cheating in the examC. Mr. Ward regretted not having let the student pass the exam D. the students were taking their final-term math exam第II卷四、根据短文内容及所给的首字母写出所缺的单词。（每题2分，共10分）。Ben and his wife Susan were on their way to have dinner with their friends, Ian and Betty.
