It’s not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero. I didn’t really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.

If you saw her, you wouldn’t think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts(選拔賽), but didn’t notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what.

Sandra isn’t the tallest or the fastest --- in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed--- but that didn’t stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone’s heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.

After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero--- and my hero, too.

1.What did the writer think of Sandra Keierleber at the beginning?

A. Common B. Honest C. Pretty. D. Strong

2.Sandra began to play volleyball when ______________.

A. she was tall enough B. she was at college

C. she became a hero D. she met the Superman

3.Which of the following is true about Sandra?

A. She was born a volleyball player.

B. She is popular with her teammates

C. She does things in an easy way.

D. She isn’t the tallest but the fastest.

4.Why does the writer think of Sandra Keierleber as a true hero?

A. She did very well at the tryouts.

B. She asked for help from her teammates.

C. She took part in the city matches.

D. She worked hard and never gave up.

I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.

As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother’s of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children”. As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been improved. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.

Our society often judges books by their covers, but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.

1.The writer’s good mood ended when __________.

A. he heard news between songs

B. he had to stop at a red traffic light

C. he heard a rich man broke the law

D. he saw four leather-jacketed kids in need

2.What were four bikers doing at the traffic light?

A. Having a bicycle race in the street.

B. Selling helmets to the passers-by.

C. Raising money to help kids in need.

D. Preparing for Christmas holidays.

3.The writer wants to tell us that we should ___________.

A. have faith in young people

B. judge others by their actions

C. change our attitude to society

D. manage to help others in need

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學(xué)年山東武城縣第二中學(xué)高二3月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Kendall Ciesemier is the founder of charity Kids Caring 4 Kids, an organization she created after seeing a show on the difficult situation of AIDS orphans (孤兒) in Africa. Ciesemier was inspired to try to change the lives of those affected by AIDS and to encourage other children to do the same. She tells us of the power her personal story has in showing others they too can make a difference.

You saw Oprah’s show on AIDS orphans when you were 11 — do you remember how you felt?

When I saw the show I was shocked. I had never heard of AIDS before and was concerned that kids were growing up without parents and no one had troubled to ask for my help.

I wanted to create a place for kids to get involved and a place where their small contributions would be valued and celebrated. I also felt that I needed to take immediate action myself. I found an orphan sponsorship (贊助) program online and an eight-year-old girl from Mauritania who needed my help. I started there and Kids Caring 4 Kids grew from that experience.

How has your own illness inspired you to help others?

Growing up with a rare liver (肝臟) disease made me feel different, which I think attracted me to others who were different and those struggling with something. I knew how I felt and I wanted to help reduce that feeling in someone else. I always wanted to support people. Growing up with an illness gave me empathy (移情) for others.

How does your own story inspire others?

My own personal story is evidence that people can give from anywhere. I started Kids Caring 4 Kids from a hospital room. I started by helping one person and it snowballed from there. When I share my story, I think that’s what affects people the most — the fact that I started all of this during a time of personal struggle and weakness. If I could do that, then they can do something too.

1.According to the text, Kendall Ciesemier.

A. hosted a show on the situation in Africa

B. was affected by AIDS and a liver disease

C. made an effort to help African AIDS orphans

D. earned lots of money from Kids Caring 4 Kids

2.What made Ciesemier create Kids Caring 4 Kids?

A. Her experience in Africa.

B. Living with a liver disease.

C. Watching Oprah’s show on AIDS orphans.

D. Her work with an orphan sponsorship program.

3.Ciesemier’s own illness .

A. caused her to lose some close friends

B. made her discouraged and less enthusiastic

C. kept her away from those who were different

D. helped her easily understand other patients’ feelings
