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 2、Heroes and heroines are usually _______.
A. courageous
B. good example to follow
C. self-sacrificing
D. all of the above
答案D
解析这是一道细节题，本题询问“男英雄和女英雄通常具有什么样的品质”。首先我们通过浏览全文知道，这个问题的信息定位在第一段的第一句话里，随后我们细读这一句话后发现，文中提到了courage（勇气），achievements（成就）和self-sacrifice（自我牺牲），分别对应了选项中的courageous（勇敢的），exemplary（典型的），self-sacrificing（自我牺牲的），尽管选项B有一定的干扰，但选项A和选项C都是正确的话，我们也应该推断出正确的答案是D，即包括以上三种品质。
