英语问题-16-18阅读选择
Once many
years ago,I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming.Last week I
received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me
that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide.In closing
she called me a hero.
That got me thinking about what a
hero really is.Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car?If
so,how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's
life?
Today I decided to look up the word
“hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant.It read “a person who
does something brave”.As I read on,it also said “a person who is good and
noble”．
That statement impressed me more
than the part about being brave.So I thought about something very important.
Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened to open and hold
the door for someone as a courtesy.As they passed me by,I said,“How are you
today?” Most of
the time that would be no big deal,but this time let's say it was for someone
who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope.That may have very well
been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time.
Having been near “the end of my
rope”,after my
marriage of twenty years ended,I was in such a condition.I was within hours
trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery.When I returned
home,someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would
appreciate me as a friend.That wonderful card probably saved my life.That
person,without even knowing it,_saved a life and became a hero.
Gee,who would have ever thought
that anyone can become a hero,and possibly save a life,just by being kind and
courteous to others?The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to
all who wish to wear such an honor.
16．Which of the following
would be the best title for this passage?
A．Why should
you be a hero?
B．What
exactly is a hero?
C．I am a hero
D．Everyone is
a hero
回答16题：正确答案是B,我选的是D,请详细解释为什么B正确,D不正确?

Paragraph 4 means the behavior that is ___.
A.polite and respectful B.brave and fearless

回答18题：正确答案是A,我选的是D,请详细解释为什么A正确,D不正确?

此句在文尾扣题,为本文主旨句另外“Today I decided to look up the word
“hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant.”也能表明16题答案应该是B
Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened to open and hold
the door for someone as a courtesy
根据上下文猜测该词词意应该表示有礼貌的故18题选A

16.应该选B。 因为整片文章都是围绕着hero，是作者为了找出什么是hero而写的,所以题目用What is a hero,最为恰当。
18.coutsty名词：礼貌，好意，恩惠之意，没有什么好解释的，记住这个单词就应该选A。你选的D，kind 符合好意，但是cute 表示可爱的，聪明的，不符合题意。...
