第二节 完型填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)

Often, I wonder why people like Michael Jordan and O.J. Simpson are considered heroes. People will say that Jordan and Simpson are heroes because they are good  41  to young people.

They have shown  43  nd personality at all times on and off the court and they’ve    44  millions of people. Mentioned as well will be that Jordan is basketball’s greatest player, and Simpson  45  among the greatest running backs in football history. However, the question remains, are they really heroes?

Perhaps Jordan is a hero because he has an incredible gambling  46   losing up to two million dollars per day. And he has repeatedly stated that  47  he is the National Basketball Association’s highest paid player in 1997 he will retire permanently.

He is a wife beater and an accused murderer.  51  being acquitted (宣告无罪) for double murder, he has done nothing but attempt to   52  selling infomercials(商业广告片).

    Jordan and Simpson are not  53  r role models. They are past and present athletes who have used their  54 abilities to become national superstars.  55  people see Jordan slam the door and they wanted to be like him. This is  56  parents would tell their children that these athletes can be  57  for their exceptional talent in sports, but  48   they live their lives  59  the court is what separates them from  60 heroes.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,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。

A

Tears are nature’s way of making us feel more comfortable. When our eyes is made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution , or when we are cutting onions, or when we are exhausted and “red-eyes” from over work and late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean and refresh them.

Tears are also a sign of strong emotion. We cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.

And tears seem to be uniquely human. We know that animals also experience emotion fear, pleasure, loneliness, but they do not shed (流) tears.

Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a gland (腺) in the body. Because salt is an important component, tears may actually constitute the most conclusive evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary process that began in the sea.

And it is clear that, in addition to the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. And thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears merge (合并) into one and make us even more “human” than we would otherwise be.

61.According to the passage, human beings may have originated in ____.

       A.the sea                B.the salt                C.chemicals            D.animals

62.Which of  the following is NOT a function of tears?

       A.Biological.          B.Emotional.          C.Political.             D. Chemical.
