15、x children,I learned to share my parents love. Raising six children during the difficult time of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old.Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther awa

18、nditional love shown by my step mother.When I asked her if she would object to mother attending Daddys funeral,without giving it a second thought,she immediately replied,“Of course not,honey.She is the mother of my children.“（分数：10.00）(1).According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents div

At some point, however, we all begin to question
23、our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero? Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell an
24、d a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Th
25、ose who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not hero
26、es. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant? Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might st
27、ill be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision unce
28、rtain, and the committee meetings endless.（分数：10.00）(1).Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _. （分数：2.00）A.generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB.probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC.are often influenced by previous generationsD.all unknowingly attract a
29、 large number of fans(2).According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that _. （分数：2.00）A.they have a vision from the mountaintopB.they have warm feelings and emotionsC.they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD.they can make people feel stronger and mor
30、e confident(3).Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because _. （分数：2.00）A.they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB.their performances do not improve their fans morallyC.their primary concern is their own financial interestsD.they are not clear about the principles they
31、should follow(4).Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who _.（分数：2.00）A.are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB.can move the masses with their forceful speechesC.are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD.can provide an answer to the problem

33、iesPassage Three Karen and Ken Mullin, a young professional couple in Cleveland, own fifty Cookbooks and two fully equipped kitchens in their house. Yet they rarely cook their Own meals; instead, on their way home from work they usually stop at a supermarket And choose two portions of meat loaf and
34、a container of ready-to-serve potatoes “My Job,“ says Karen “is to poor the salad from the bag.“ A half-century after the first TV dinner was born, the food industry is approaching its long-sought dream of relieving people like the Mullins of unpaid labor in the final, and arguably most profitable,
35、step by which a cow gets turned into meat loaf. Increasingly, tables in Americas kitchens are used not for cutting or peeling but for putting takeout food onto plates. For those who even bother with plates. According to Harry Blazer, an influential food-industry researcher, American dinners that cam
36、e from a takeout counter increased by 24 percent in the past decade, “We thought the microwave would be a cooking device,“ says Harry Blazer, “but we find it reheating takeout pizza.“ Across the United States, entire business models are being transformed. supermarket takeout counters, formerly a pla
37、ce where unsold chickens were courted with sauce, increasingly resemble high-end corporate cafeterias, with sushi bars and stir-fly stations. One psychologist thinks the trend toward healthier eating is responsible: Americans have finally gotten the message that its bad to eat fried chicken, so they
38、re doing it at home where no one can see them. Of course, thee are people you wouldnt expect to cook at home, like Steve Traxler, an unmarried Chicago theater producer, whose refrigerator contains little more than orange juice, wine and leftovers. Well, somebody must be using those cookbooks, right?
39、 “people dont have time to cook; I think theyre reading them in bed,“ says Rozanne Gold, author of a cookbook. Its not entirely a question of time. The takeout fashion is fueled, in part, by the popularity of foods like sushi, which even adventuresome American cooks are unlikely to try to make at ho
40、me. And takeout fills another need as well, for the atmosphere of the home-cooked dinner. （分数：10.00）(1).From the text we a 1a that the Mullins_. （分数：2.00）A.are experienced in cookingB.are expert at food shoppingC.often go dining out at a restaurantD.often eat ready-made food at home(2).The food indu

43、f inferior with sauce(5).Takeout food is not only convenient but also enables Americans to _. （分数：2.00）A.avoid taking unhealthy foodB.follow the trend of eating outC.enjoy eating together at homeD.have time to improve their cookingPassage Four Faced with a mission-critical decision, who would you tu
44、rn to for advice? Someone you have great confidence in, surely. But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to turn to for counsel are often not completely correct. My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice, including why they often blindly follow recomm
45、endations from people whoas far as they knoware as knowledgeable as they are. In studies I conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University, for example, I found that people tend to overvalue advice when the problem theyre addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy. In ou
46、r experiments, subjects were asked to guess the weight of people in various pictures, some of which were in focus and some of which were unclear. For each picture, subjects guessed twice: the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant. When the pictures were in focus, we found, subjects tended to discount the advice; apparently, they were
