题目内容
6.Like many of my generation,I have a weakness for hero worship.At some point,however,we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them.This leads us to ask:What is a hero?(25)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 (26)talking (talk) about.A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen.But a hero goes beyond mere fame.
Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves.Like high-voltage (高电压) transformers,heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down (27)so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation.Those who imitate a genuine hero (28)experience (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?(29)If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame,they may be famous persons but not heroes.
Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous,(30)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 (31)might/would still be part of the British Empire.(32)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 uncertain,and the committee meetings endless.
分析 本文主要围绕着"什么是英雄?"展开了论述;文中讲到:全世界的英雄们通常都具备一些能够指引和激励着人们前行的特性;英雄们可以将高尚的力量一步步地转化为普通老百姓可以使用的力量;英雄的事迹往往值得谈论;英雄的一生都值得效仿;英雄与名人的区别在于,英雄绝非为了自己的名声而已;英雄是变革的催化剂:他们能够高瞻远瞩,他们有着感染大众的技艺与魅力,他们创造出了新的可能性.
解答 答案:
25.Despite 考查介词 本句的意思是:尽管在文化方面存在着巨大差异,全世界的英雄们通常都具备一些能够指引和激励着人们前行的特性;此处在句中做让步状语,由于空缺处之后的部分"immense differences in cultures"是名词短语,故填Despite
26.talking 考查固定短语"A hero does something worth (26)(talk) about"是一个定语从句,相当于"A hero does something that is worth (26)(talk) about";其中固定短语"be worth doing sth."意为:值得做某事;这里的意思是:英雄的事迹往往值得谈论;故填talking
27.so that 考查连词 本句的意思是:和高压变压器一样,英雄们把高尚的力量一步步地转化为普通老百姓可以使用的力量;此处用来引导一个目的状语从句,故用so that
28.experience 考查谓语动词 本句的意思是:那些模仿真正英雄的人,体验了带有新的深度、热情和有意义的生活;此处在句中做谓语,根据上一句使用了一般现在时说明了目前的一种观点:英雄的一生都值得效仿,可推测出此处也应使用一般现在时;由于主语Those who imitate a genuine hero"那些模仿真正英雄的人"表示复数;故填
experience
29.If 考查从属连词 分析该句与下一句的句意关系可知,此处表示条件;意为:如果答案或迹象表明他们只为自己的名声而已,那么,他们也许是名人,但绝非英雄;故填If
30.but 考查连词 分析空缺处前后两句的句意关系可知,此处表示转折;意为:麦当娜和迈克•杰克逊都很有名,但谁会说他们的歌迷会因为他们而找到了更充实的生活呢?故填but
31.might/would 考查情态动词 此处表示可能性较小的推测,意为:如果没有甘地,印度可能仍然是大英帝国的一部分;故填might/would
32.It 考查it作形式主语的用法 此处在句中作形式主语,指代真正的主语to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities;故填It
