[2017 · 安徽省江南十校高三下學期開年第一考]

Whenever the word “hero” comes to me, I immediately think of three Hs: honourable, hard?working, and happy.When I think more about this word, I picture someone who has accomplished good things for people and tries to do the right thing. Hattie Elizabeth Alexander is one person whom I find to be very heroic.

Hattie was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 5, 1901.During her time at College she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Bacteriology and Physiology.These were just the first steps towards what she was finally going to be remembered for.After college Hattie attended the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and received her medical degree.

After her education, she pursued her career, and after much time and hard work, she drastically reduced the number of infants (幼兒) dying from meningitis (腦膜炎).Hattie was very dedicated to her work and helped at as many locations as she could.Spending substantial (大量的) time in the labouratory, Hattie successfully developed a cure against the disease, which decreased the death rate to 20 per cent.At the same time, she was also a teacher working with Columbia University.

She was a caring lady interested in other people's lives.When she was teaching at Columbia University, other members would talk to her about students that were failing their classes, and somehow Hattie could always find convincing reasons as to why they should not be driven away.Later, Hattie became an instructor in Pediatrics at New York City's Babies Hospital.After many honours, she became the first woman president of the American Pediatric Society in 1965.This was her last major achievement, for soon after, Hattie died of cancer on June 24, 1968.

Hattie is my hero because her positive attitude and strength helped her accomplish great things for others.She gave them her strength by developing medicines against diseases, which, by doing so, made them stronger.This is what makes Hattie Elizabeth Alexander my hero.

While CCTV’s educational show Animal World is well known, few big screen wildlife documentaries have been made by China’s film industry.

But Born in China, which came out on Aug 2, may be important for Chinese filmmakers who want to get into nature -themed films. The movie, directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and shows the animals’ lives during different seasons.

Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wild—giant pandas, snow leopards, and golden monkeys, but also shows Chinese traditional culture.

A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas were based on. The panda’s gentle nature shows how yin and yang lead to peace. It can be seen in the film when a panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and explore the world.

Unlike the shy pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. The Monkey King in China’s most famous novel Journey to the West has many conflicting traits(特點). It stands for not only impatience but also cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year- old golden monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and understands the meaning of responsibility.

Just as the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also faces difficulty in raising her babies in the wild. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork(腳步), have inspired a form of pictographic(象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts(武術(shù)).

“Born in China is a means to show off Chinese traditional culture,” director Lu told the reporter. “Chinese people have learned a lot from wild animals since ancient times. This is why I shot this nature -themed documentary.”

1.How is Born in China special according to the article?

A. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals.

B. It’s considered the best nature-themed film to come out of China.

C. It’s the first big screen wildlife documentary ever made in China.

D. It shows audiences the lives of rare animals.

2.We can learn from the article that in Born in China, _______.

A. the story of the giant pandas shows the importance of exploring the world

B. the story of the golden monkeys was inspired by the Monkey King

C. the stories show how animals grow up to be independent

D. the story about snow leopards shows what people can learn from animals

3.What may be the best title for the text?

A. The stories of 3 animal families B. Symbols of China

C. Wildlife born in China D. Nature shows culture
