16、e was born in New York City and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974, after which he was selected to study at Juilliard School of Performing Arts under John Houseman.Reeve worked on the stage, as well as on the soap opera Love of Life, until he was selected to play the role of Superman in 1978

17、. This film was a great success and inspired three sequels (续集). Ironically (讽刺的是), this was the kind of part Reeve usually looked down upon. He was a stage actor at heart who preferred doing classical period plays and films that really required (要求) him to “act”. He once said, “I want to challenge

18、myself in my roles, not to run around on screen with a machine gun.”In 1980, Reeve started in Somewhere in Time, a time travel romance. Although this film was not popular at the time it was released (公映), it has enjoyed a nation-wide “cult” following, especially among college students. In 1984, Reev

19、e won critical cheers for his role as a 19th century southern lawyer in The Bostonians.On May 27, 1995, Reeve was paralysed(瘫痪) from the neck down after being thrown from his horse, and largely retired(退休)from the production of films after his paralysis. With his wife Dana, he opened the Christopher

20、 and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, devoted to teaching paralysed people to live more independently (独立的).36. According to the passage, we can get the conclusion that the play Love of Life .  A. gained a great success B. changed Reeves life completely C. is just a relaxation for most aud

21、ience D. talks about serious political problems 37. The underlined part in the third paragraph shows that Reeve .  A. enjoyed different kinds of roles related to high technology B. did not like to play the role of the Superman because of the danger C. was an ambitious actor who intended to play

22、 all kinds of characters D. was a peace-loving man, who hates weapons and all the military actions 38. The word “cult” in the fourth paragraph probably means .  A. popular fashion B. lovely and interesting C. of the present time D. bad-tempered dog 39. On May 27,1995, Reeve .  A. acted out

23、 the role of a lawyer in The Bostonians B. fell down during the horse-riding and became paralysed C. won critical cheers for his performance in Somewhere in Time D. opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center BLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship(崇拜). At

24、 some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: what is a hero? Despite(尽管) great differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct(教育) and inspire people. A hero does something worth talk

25、ing about. A hero has a story of adventure(冒险) to tell a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond only fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers(变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordi

26、nary people. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation(效仿). Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm(热情) and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve and what they are willing to live and die for. If the answer or evidence(证据) suggests th

27、ey serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant(充实的)? Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm(魅力) to m

28、ove the masses(群众). They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still 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(范围) changes to happen without leade

29、rs with magnetic(有魅力的) personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.40. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .  A. generally have certain inspiring characteristics B. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary pe

30、ople C. are often influenced by previous generations D. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans41. The author concludes that historical changes would .  A. be delayed(推迟) without leaders with inspiring personal qualities B. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices(牺牲) C.

31、 take place if there were heroes to lead the people D. produce leaders with attractive personalities42. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that .   A. they have a vision from the mountaintop B. they have warm feelings and emotions(情感) C. they can serve

32、 as concrete examples of noble principles D. they can make people feel stronger and more confident43. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because .   A. they are popular only among certain groups of people B. their performances do not improve their fans morally C. their primar

33、y concern is their own financial interests D. they are not clear about the principles they should follow CWharton marketing professor Bolton explores pricing and fairness perceptions(认识) in a new research paper. She documents how attitudes are different, or in some cases similar, between consumers i

34、n China and those in America.She wanted to know how consumers react when they discovered that someone else bought the same product as they did at a cheaper price. She found that American consumers in general tended to see things as fair if they got the bargain and unfair if they didnt, regardless of

35、 whether the shopper they were being compared to was a friend or a stranger. Chinese consumers, on the other hand, were less affected by what a stranger paid than what a friend paid, whereas Americans were quite sensitive to price discrimination(差别).She also explored whether customers relationship w

36、ith the sellerfirst-time buyer versus(与相比) regular customeraffected their feelings of fairness in the price they paid. For American consumers, it did not seem to matter much whether they were a first-time or a regular customer. It was fair if they got a lower price and unfair if they paid more regar

37、dless of their relationship with the seller. Chinese consumers tended to be more bothered if they paid a higher price as a regular customer.“Fairness is a driver of repeat purchases(购物),” she said, “so understanding what customers think is important to business success.” Although price information s

38、haring among friends may appear more popular, the Internet has expanded opportunities for consumers to learn what relative strangers pay for products.The practice, called tuangou unfolds when a group of people with a common interest in buying, for example, a car meet through an Internet chat room an

39、d then gather all at once in a store or dealership. The idea is that multiple shoppers can get a better price than one shopper alone.44. Whats the text mainly about?A.

Just think, only miles from the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and Times Square, the great whales are singing,” says Chris Clark, the Director of the Bioacoustics Research Program. “These

43、 are some of the largest and rarest animals on the planet trying to make a living just a few miles from New Yorks shores. It just goes to show that there are many important and wonderful discoveries to be made about the living world right here, right in our back yards.”“With data from acoustic(声监控)

44、monitoring, we can better understand New Yorks role in the lives of these endangered whales, and make more informed conservation decisions,” says James Gilmore, chief of the Bureau of Marine Resources.“This is especially important for the survival of right whales.”The recorders were placed about 13

45、miles from the entrance of New York Harbor, and off the shores of Fire Island. Information about the seasonal presence of whales will help New York State policymakers develop management plans to protect them. Knowing the whales travel paths will also help ship-traffic managers avoid whale collisions

46、 in New York waters. Furthermore, the study will analyze the acoustic environment of New Yorks waters, and examine whether underwater noises, including those from shipping, affect the whales.Acoustic monitoring began in spring 2008-between March and June-in order to record the right whales northward

47、 migration from their calving(产犊) grounds off the Florida eastern coast to their feeding grounds off Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
