Heroes of Our Time
A good heart
Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship (奖学金)to study medicine—but Coach (教练) John Thompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea.Dikembe became a star in the NBA，and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth，or the duty to share his fortune with others.He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good-hearted man：“Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.”
Success and kindness
After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipments, and began filming children's videos (录像) in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born，and in just five years her business grew to more than $ 20 million in sales.And she is using her success to help others—producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.Julie says of her new programs, “I believe it's the most important thing that I have ever done.I believe that children have the right to live in a world that is safe.”
Bravery and courage
A few weeks ago, Wesley Autrey was waiting at a Harlem subway station with his two little girls when he saw a man fall into the path of a train.With seconds to act, Wesley jumped onto the tracks, pulled the man into the space between the rails(铁轨)，and held him as the train passed right above their heads.He insists he's not a hero. He says，“We have got to show each other some love.”

Watching television makes it easier for toddlers (学步的孩子) to kick and scream, according to a US study.Children under two should not watch any TV.The longer they sit in front of TV，the worse their behavior becomes.
Just having the TV on in the background, even if the child wasn't watching it，was also connected to troublemaking behavior although the relationship wasn't as strong, said the researchers.
“Parents should be smart about TV use，”researcher Jennifer Manganello from the University at Albany, New York, said.
“They should limit the time that children use TV, pay attention to the content of TV programs，and consider how TV is used throughout the home.”
The study looked at 3,128 women from 20 US cities who had a child between 2005 and 2008.
While there was some diversity(差异) of education among the women，one-third hadn't graduated from high school.
Two-thirds of the mothers said their three-year-old children watched more than two hours of TV a day，and the average viewing time for children was around three hours.On average，the TV was on for about five additional hours on a common day.
After accounting for factors(因素) such as living in a violent neighborhood，scientists also found watching TV was strongly connected to behavior such as hitting others，having angry moods，being disobedient(不服从的)，and screaming a lot.
The researchers thought that children may see violence on TV，and spend less time on positive development tasks such as reading or playing.
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests no TV at all for children at two and younger，and two hours a day or less for older kids.
40．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Children should choose positive programs.
B．Watching TV can make children violent.
C．Children should keep away from TV.
D．Parents should watch less TV.
41．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．Children can watch good programs.
B．Children will be affected as long as the TV is on.
C．It's OK that the TV is on if children don't watch it.
D．Children's trouble-making behavior is mainly caused by watching TV.
42．What can be learned about the study between 2005 and 2008 from the passage?
A．The women studied have different jobs.
B．The TV was on for about three hours.
C．Most women allowed their children to watch TV.
D．Most women studied hadn't graduated from high school.
43．Children who spend much time watching TV will ________.
A．become easily angry
B．be influenced by others
C．be popular with others
D．know more about the neighborhood
C
When people want to know about the weather，they usually go to their radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However，you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure (压力) produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators.People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around.Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.
Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways.For example, some birds become irritable(急躁的) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread.Other birds chirp (叽叽喳喳) and sing just before a storm.It seems that they know they won't get another chance for an hour or two.Birds also seek safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure makes the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.
It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime，rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this.If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.
By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature，we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.
44．The word “indicators” in Paragraph 1 probably means________.
A．maps B．services
C．signs D．stations
45．There will be a storm if birds________.
A．make more noise than usual
B．fly in different directions
C．come down from tall trees
D．share a piece of bread
46．How can birds sense the coming of a storm?
A．By feeling a drop in air temperature.
B．By noticing the change of wind directions.
C．By feeling a drop in air pressure.
D．By noticing the movements of other animals.
47．The BEST title for the text would be________.
A．Signs of a Storm B．Drops in Air Pressure
C．Animals' Sharp Senses D．Nature's Weather Signs

Do you enjoy reading? Do you read newspapers or magazines? Chances are, if you do any of these activities, your pre-school child is on his way to becoming a reader.
The process of learning to read is complex, and one of the most important things to know is that parents can help their children learn to read.As children have conversations with adults, they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.
There are many opportunities for adults and children to talk together, such as when riding in the car or in a bus, doing housework like fixing dinner，or bathing and getting ready for bed. A major part of conversation is listening. When children talk, adults listen and respond.Then children listen and respond，and so the flow of conversation happens.
Have you watched your pre-school child pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers? Have you read his favorite story over and over？These experiences tell children that reading is fun.And when things are fun and they are repeated, your child will see letters. He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the letters that make up his name.A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters.
When children see parents make a grocery list，they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list. To encourage these beginning writing activities, have pencils, markers, crayons and scrap paper within your children's reach.
The more children get connected with talking，listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers. While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors, it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines(日常生活) of everyday life.
48．The third paragraph tell us that parents can talk with their children________.
A．during daily routines
B．only in quiet places
C．in their spare time
D．when they are eager to talk
49．During the process of learning to read，children may ________.
A．copy the action of the adults
B．prefer to talk with those of their own age
C．show no interest in reading at all
D．waste a lot of paper and other materials
50．When do children want to learn to write?
A．When their parents ask them to do so.
B．When they believe they can write well.
C．When they know what they want to know.
D．When they can connect letters with familiar words.
51．The passage is written to________.
A．talk about parents' influence on their children's behavior
B．encourage parents to set a good example to their children
C．advise parents to make reading a part of their children's daily life
D．make parents believe in the importance of early reading

My family was driving across Canada to Montreal. My husband Ray had got a head start with our daughter in a truck filled with many things. I took my four-year-old son John in our family car.We crossed into Ontario，driving along a narrow road. A heavy rain fell. Suddenly, a truck changed into our lane. I turned the wheel sharply. We went off the road.“We're going to die，” I thought as the car rolled into a deep ditch(沟)．
Coming to my senses, I heard a man's voice from somewhere outside my car, saying, “There's nobody alive in there.”Everything was hard to see; pieces of glass covered me from head to toe. The metal frame (框架) of our car pressed tight against my back.I could barely breathe. John! I was scared and reached behind me.
“Are you all right, honey？”I asked.“Yes，Mama，”John replied in a shaking voice. I looked toward the window. “We're alive. Please help us！”I cried.A man reached through the window and pulled John out.A few others pulled the metal frame away enough for me to go out. Except for some small cuts，we were okay.
A kind policeman took us to the hospital. Four days later，we went back to the place of the accident.The insurance agent with us was amazed when he saw the destroyed car. So was I.
Our eyes turned toward the back seat. The roof，which was supported by an amazing brace(支架)，had stayed up just enough so we weren't crushed(压碎)．Piled from the floor to the ceiling were the books that hadn't fitted into our truck.
52．What does the man mean with his words in Paragraph 2?

54．What most probably amazed the insurance agent?
A．How the car accident happened.
B．How the writer and her son survived the accident.
C．That the car was completely destroyed.
D．The fact that the car's roof wasn't damaged.
55．We can learn from the passage that ________.

Ⅳ.任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology，small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.
The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors(处理器)，or WPS as they are often called. 40%of British offices are now estimated to have word processors and this percentage is growing fast.
There are many advantages in using a word processor for both the secretary and the manager. The secretary is free from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager's point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.
But is it all good？If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically，surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed.Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units(显示器)．The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly.It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours，the unborn child in her body might be killed.Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.
Whatever the arguments for and against word processors，they are a key feature(特征)of the revolution in office practice.
small computers：
▲56.____ larger and expensive computers
▲most smaller 57.____ can use them
small computers have been 58.____ in the field of word processors，or WPS

【参考范文】
The heavy rain has been pouring down all the time for three days. Not only fields but also villages have been flooded. Last night，the flood washed houses away and the villagers were in danger and struggling in the water, crying for help. Just then, the PLA men hurried over by steamboat. They did their best to save villagers and helped them to move onto the riverbank. The government cared about the villagers very much. Tents, food, clothes and medicine were sent to them without delay. Without the government, a large number of people would have lost their lives in the flood or died of hunger.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves.His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There，a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.，” he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”，and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school，he went to Ohio State University.He had to work part time so as to pay for his education.As a second-year student，in the Big Ten games in 1935，he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet，Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs.His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week，and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet.He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try，event by event.He did try，and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens' victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year，and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic (体育的)but also political.Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.
“It was all right with me，”he said years later.“I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him，anyway.”
Having returned from Berlin，he received no telephone call from the president of his own country，either.In fact，he was not honored by the United States until 1976，four years before his death.
Owens' Olympic victories made little difference to him.He earned his living by looking after a school playground，and accepted money to race against cars，trucks，motorcycles，and dogs.
“Sure，it bothered (烦扰) me，”he said later.“But at least it was an honest living.I had to eat.”
In time，however，his gold medals(奖章)changed his life.“They have kept me alive over the years.”he once said.“Time has stood still for me.That golden moment dies hard.”
1．Owens got his other name“Jesse”when ________.
A．he went to Ohio State University
B．his teacher made fun of him
C．his teacher took “J.C.”for “Jesse”
D．he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet
2．In the Big Ten meet，Owens ________.
A．hurt himself in the back
B．succeeded in setting many records
C．tried every sports event but failed
D．had to give up some events
3．We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because ________.
A．he was not of the right race
B．he was the son of a poor farmer
C．he didn't shake hands with Hitler
D．he didn't talk to the US president on the phone
4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Jesse Owens：a Great American Athlete
B．Golden Moment－a Life-time Struggle
C．Making a Living as a Sportsman
D．How to Be a Successful Athlete
B
His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa.Then，as the first black president，he fought to unite the country and organize the government.Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy，AIDS (艾滋病)．
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president，hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert.He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected (感染) with the fatal (致命的)disease.
Mandela was born in a village in South Africa in 1918.He was adopted by the chief (酋长) of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(种族歧视)．He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa.Before 1990, under the country's Racial Segregation Law，colored and white people lived separately.Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus.Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested (逮捕) and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became president of the country after the first election was held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches.He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing，I was interested in how one moved one's body to protect oneself，how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”，he wrote in his autobiography.
As a skillful fighter，he chose music as his weapon against AIDS.He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.
5．Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following EXCEPT________.
A．winning the equal rights for the black people in South Africa
B．Uniting South Africa
C．organizing a government in South Africa
D．controlling the spread of AIDS
6．If Nelson Mandela hadn't fought against racial discrimination，he ________.
A．could have been the president of South Africa
B．could still have lived a happy life
C．could have been in a difficult situation
D．would have been an excellent boxer
7．It can be inferred that Nelson Mandela ________.
A．continues to help the balck people with the poitical struggle
B．is taking a position in a music group
C．is carrying on the world's greatest fight against AIDS
D．is preparing for the next president election
8．Which of the following statements can BEST describe the life of Nelson Mandela?

课时作业(四)
Ⅰ.1.generous 2.characters 3.calm 4.waved 5.explore 6.atmosphere 7.Province 8.separates 9.Flight 10.Millions
Ⅱ.1.B with后跟名词或者代词作宾语，后面的动词要用非谓语形式，排除D项；dog与follow之间是主动关系，排除C项；动词不定式表达将来的动作，而此处表达的是伴随发生的动作，因此排除A项。句意：晚饭后这对老夫妻经常在公园里散步，他们的宠物狗跟在他们后面。
2．D 句意：独自徒步旅行很有趣并且有益于健康，或许对意志的磨炼也有好处。character性格，品质，特点，特性。respect尊重，爱戴；friendship友谊；reputation名誉，声望。
3．D 句意：我看到一只鸟从地面飞起，并在空中高高翱翔，故选D项。
4．D because of是介词短语，意为“由于，因为”，不直接接句子；while是连词，意为“当……时”，引导时间状语从句；as if意为“似乎，好像”，引导方式状语从句或表语从句；because是连词，意为“因为”，引导原因状语从句。根据句意，故选D。
5．A 句意：去年夏天我们三个人用了大约一个月的时间周游欧洲。题干中last summer是时态提示的关键信息词，解答本题要注意travel本身是延续性动词，完全可以与表示时间段的时间状语连用。不要认为只有完成时才和“for＋时间段”连用，从而易误选B、C两项。
6．D 此题考查形容词词义辨析。句意为：“当你照相时，请不要动。”由句意可知，D项正确。
7．B 句意：“灾难期间，一位王先生捐了许多钱，我的意思是，他那样做真慷慨。”汤姆激动地说。It is generous of sb.to do sth.做某事表明某人是慷慨的。当it is＋adj.________sb.to do sth.句型中adj.表示人的品质的时候，常用介词of，该类形容词还有clever，foolish，kind，wise等。
8．B 此处宾补应该是不及物动词(短语)，且强调动作正在进行。故用lift off“升空，发射”。
9．C 句意：我岳父去世了，留给我们两百万美元。当具体数字与million，hundred，thousand等连用时，million等之后不加-s，也不加介词of，其后直接跟名词复数。
10．B 句意：在远处 ，他们挥手向我们道别。wave one's hands“挥手”，符合题意。shake“摇晃，晃动”；nod点“(头)”；put“放，安置”。
11．B 句意：这狗好像疯了。 不要放它出去。let out“放出，释放”，其中out为副词，当遇到it，them等代词作宾语时，要把it，them 等放在let与out之间。pick out“挑选出”。
12．C 句意：他们在一九二三年在这片沙漠地区探险。故选择C项。
13．B 句意：轮船在海上强烈的风暴中下沉了。故此处用形容词violent，选择B项。
14．A 句意：——你已经读完《简·爱》了吗？——没有。昨天一整天我都在做家庭作业。根据句意可知，应用过去进行时态。would do是过去将来时，表示在过去看来将要发生的动作；had done是过去完成时，表示到过去某一时间为止已经完成的动作；do为一般现在时形式，用于表示习惯性或经常性的动作。
15．C 在过去情况的背景下was/were able to do sth.表示“克服困难做成了某事”，而could仅表示有技能去做某事。
Ⅲ.1.C 细节理解题。由文章开头“His family moved to Cleveland...and he had a new name.”可以推断出。

Henry Ford was born on a farm near Detroit, Michigan. He never really enjoyed farming and left the farm when he was sixteen.
As a child he was very interested in machines. By the time he was thirteen he could put together a watch after pulling it apart. The interest in machines made him work for a while as an apprentice machinist(学徒机工)．
When he was forty, Ford and another eleven people founded the Ford Motor Company. They had invested(投资)$28,000 in it.
Ford hired workers with disabilities(残疾)．He studied the requirements each job required and put each worker into a place which best suited him and where he could make a living for his family. He thought as a boss his job was to serve others. He paid his workers$5 a day, which was nearly twice as much as most other bosses paid their workers. He felt there was something sacred(神圣的)about wages and what they represented. He started the 40-hour workweek with his workers working eight hours a day, five days a week. He had a rule for his workers, which forbade them from heavy drinking and gambling.
Ford had a heart attack in 1938 and turned the running of the company over to his son Edsel, but Edsel died five years later, so Ford took over the company again. He stayed in that position for two more years and made his grandson Henry Ford Ⅱ president of the company in 1945.

Of Chinese secondary school students top ten heroes，Mao Zedong，ranks number one and Olympic track gold medal winner，Liu Xiang，ranks fifth，according to a survey conducted by All?China Women's Federation (ACWF)．
Late Chinese leaders，Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai，and revolutionary martyrs(烈士)，Liu Hulan and Dong Cunrui，all have remained important heroes in the eyes of Chinese teenagers aged 13 to 18.
Meanwhile，the 2004 Olympic track and field star，Liu Xiang，model police chief，Ren Changxia，Hong Kong action star，Jackie Chan，and China's first astronaut Yang Liwei，have ascended to be the new stars among the students.
“The coexistence of old and new models in youth's hearts reveal the new era's character，” said Han Xiangjing，president of China Women magazine attached to ACWF.

A couple of months ago I was renting a house to work from.I was fairly well set up，but didn't own a lawn mower and after a week or two realized I would have to find some way to deal with the growing grass！I didn't have much money so I preferred not to pay a lawnmowing company.
I was thinking about this one Sunday as the “Mr.Whippy”ice cream van(小货车) pulled up outside on the street.I hadn't had a Mr.Whippy ice cream for years, so I headed outside immediately.On the road were three young boys aged around 10 years playing.It was a hot day and I asked them if they'd like an ice cream.“Yes, please，”they replied happily.As I left the van, I heard the lady serving the boys say，“That was a really kind thing that lady did for you, boys.Don't forget to thank her.”I smiled as I went inside to carry on working.
I left for work that evening, and didn't return until the Tuesday morning. As I drove into the driveway，I realized something was different.Yes，my lawns had been mowed and my gardens had been weeded.I felt this big warmth rush into my heart and a smile across my face.Immediately，I knew my neighbors had done this for me，and went to thank them straight away.
They wouldn't know that this act of kindness not only made a big difference to me，but it encouraged me to act further and set up a website focusing on kindness in our community.Thank you so much，neighbors.
