Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At 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 immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.
A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.
Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like highvoltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for wouldbe heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they 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 farm find life more abundant?
Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. 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 change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the commit tee meetings endless. [br] Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of out standing leaders who ______.
选项
A、can move the masses with their forceful speeches
B、can provide an answer to the problems of their people
C、are good at demonstrating their charming characters
D、are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships
答案
B
解析
细节推理题。题目提及的两个英雄的事例出现在原文最后一段,那么事例一般都是为了说明主题句,即“英雄是改革的催化剂”,所以我们看看这四个选项哪—个符合原文。这四个选项都比较具体,所以我们应在原文中找出“催化剂作用”的具体解释。原文的最后一句话提到“... but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless”,指出英雄人物能使人们的视野更清晰,会议也不会绵绵不绝。也就是说,英雄能为人民解决问题。所以应选B)。选项A)很有迷惑性,因为原文最后一段也提到“They have the skill and the charm to move the masses”但这句话太具体,只是这两个英雄身上的一种品质,而不是成为改革催化剂的必要条件。至于选项C),D),文中未提及。
