问题 By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.
    Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity（明星）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death – such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.
选项 Which of the following statements is wrong?
A Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth
B Superstars are famous for being famous
C One’s look can contribute to being famous
D Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times
答案D
解析这是一道细节题，本题询问“下列陈述中哪一句是错误的”。选项A对应文中第一段的最后一句话“……poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy……”，选项B和C都符合逻辑，选项D对应文中第一段的第四句话“Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one.”（有一些认为因为冷战已经结束，美国处于和平局势，所以我们正处于一个没有英雄的年代）这里作者认为这是部分人的观点，所以我们判断选项D是错误的表述，因此确定正确答案是D。
