（三）议论文
【2010河北省卷】C
Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特点) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just the person with great fame (声誉) .
A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.
A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans might take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colours of their skin.
There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly. 66. According to this passage, a hero is a person who always ________. A. gives us courage B. thinks highly of others C. shares great fame
D. stands on the mountaintop
67. If you want to live like a hero, you should ________. A. experience a new and meaningful life B. listen to something worth talking about C. serve your own fame and try to be famous D. know where and how you want to live and die
68. The underlined word “vision” in the passage means “________”. A. 风景 B. 想象 C. 远见 D. 形象
69. Black people in America used to ________ before Martin Luther King, Jr.. A. shop at the white‘s stores B. drive buses with the white C. take walks in the white‘s parks D. eat in restaurants without the white 70. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We don‘t need heroes anymore at some point now. B. Heroes are all the same though different in cultures. C. People get power from heroes to move to a new place.
D. Our society has developed faster because of heroes in history. 【主旨大意】：本文主要介绍了人们心目中英雄的形象，以及英雄应该具备的主要特征，最后点名了英雄对整个社会的作用。
