题目解答

答案

B. sacrifice, dedication, and perseverance.

解析

考查要点：本题考查学生对文章核心观点的把握能力，需要从文中提炼出作者认为构成“heroism”的关键品质。
解题核心：需重点关注文章中直接描述英雄品质的段落，抓住关键名词（如“sacrifice”“dedication”“perseverance”）和逻辑关系词（如“Apart from sacrifice there must be”），排除文中未提及的干扰项。

选项分析

选项A：honesty, patience, courage, and endurance

  • 文中未提及：文章未提到“诚实（honesty）”“耐心（patience）”“勇气（courage）”“忍耐力（endurance）”这些品质。
  • 错误原因：混淆了英雄品质与一般美德，属于过度联想。

选项B：sacrifice, dedication, and perseverance

  • 直接对应原文：
    1. Sacrifice：文中明确指出“Heroism lies within a person and rises to the occasion. A person can never be a hero without sacrifice.”（英雄主义在于关键时刻的自我牺牲）。
    2. Dedication（奉献）：通过消防员“just did his duty for which he was being paid”的反例，强调真正的英雄需超越职责的奉献。
    3. Perseverance（坚持）：文中虽未直接出现该词，但“rising to the occasion”和“benefiting others at personal cost”隐含了持久的坚持精神。
