Comic Strips（连环漫画）

For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy and dangerous.

A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-color comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.

In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.

Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”

Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should

be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.

21. The underl ined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.

A. place

B. strip

C. story

D. character

22. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?

A. Snoopy.

C. Woodstock.

D. Garfield.

23. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.

B. dangerous

C. greedy

D. brave

A Swiss airplane powered only by energy from the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9. Its creators hope the plane will make the first around—the—world journey without any fuel. The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber. The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747. The plane’s wings stretch 72 meters across. Those wings include 17,000 solar units or cells that catch the sun’s energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and night.

Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first none—stop flight around the world in a balloon, while Borschberg is an engineer and has trained fighter pilots.

The scientists say they are not trying to change the airplane industry. Instead, they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can achieve what some say is impossible. “We want to show that we can fly day and night in an aircraft without a drop of fuel,” Mr. Piccard said. Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the tiny plane for five to six days and nights in a row. So it is good that the pilot’s seat is also a t oilet.

The plane’s route begins in the United Arab Emirates. The pilots also plan stops in Oman, India, and China（the first stop in Chongqing, and then in Nanjing）. They

will cross the Pacific Ocean, stop in the United States, and continue over southern Europe or North Africa. They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August.

Internet viewers can go to the Solar Impulse website to see the plane’s location and listen to broadcasts from the pilots.

24. How long will the flight last?

A. About three months.

B. About four months.

C. About five months.

D. About half a year.

25. The plane’s wings are made so wide in order to ________.

A. fly more smoothly

B. get enough energy

C. look more beautiful

D. make sure of its safety

26. The scientists have made Solar Impulse 2 to _______.

A. cut the cost of making a plane

B. go on a tour around the world

C. show their ability in science and technology

D. prove it’s possible to fly with solar energy only

27. What is the best title for the text?

A. A long flight without fuel

B. The first solar—powered plane

C. Solar—powered plane starts its world tour

D. A plane with the longest wings in the world

C

The age at which kids first fall victim to bullying (欺侮）could influence how strongly they are affected，suggests a new study. And，surprisingly，it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.

Bullying can have long-lasting effects，but particularly when it begins in adolescence，the researchers say. People subjected to either verbal (口头的）or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression，anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.

Children bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get over

it， but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive or are more likely to turn to drink as a means of coping. These are the conclusions of psychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin，US.

The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1，500 college students regarding their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence—before high school—and in late adolescence—at high school. They assessed mood and mental state，judging by signs of anxiety or depression，such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain embarrassing situations，such as humiliation.

People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (挑畔)，people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.

There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence，with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations.

The best solution in all cases was strong social support，whether from friends，family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most. So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on，suggests Ne wman. “They may get stressed，but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on. ”

28. What determines the degree of bullying's effect on people according to the study?

A. The reason why they are bullied.

B. The place where they are first bullied.

C. The age at which they are first bullied.

D. The person who first bullies them.

29. What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according to Newman

and his colleagues?

A. Some are likely to be more aggressive.

B. They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.

C. Most of them will respond to bullying normally.

D. Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.

30. What does the underlined word “humiliation” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Carrying out an important plan.

B. Being made to feel ashamed.

C. Trying hard to survive an accident.

D. Feeling hopeless in an emergency.

31. The sex differences between people bullied for the first time during adolescence

are reflected in .

A. the support they get from the society

B. the effect bullying has on them

C. the way they react to bullying

D. the type of bullying they receive

D

People who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.

“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.

In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.

Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.

Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances

of catching colds.

To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.

The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.

Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are. For now, it cannot hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.

32. What is the text mainly about?

A. How to get rid of colds.

B. Attitude determines life.

C. Smiles turn away colds.

D. Different opinions about colds.

33. The phrase “full of vim and vigor” underlined in Pa ragraph 1 probably

means___________.

A.ignorant

B. Well-informed

C. energetic

D. in low spirits

34.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should be those

__________?

A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.

B. Who are very emotional and optimistic

C. Who are open-minded and outgoing

D. Who have trouble with their noses

35.The last paragraph implies that __________.

A. positive and negative emotions have good aspects.

B. people who have been less negative tend to catch colds.

C. Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.

D. positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

● Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person’s name, repeat it._36_ You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

● Ask the other person to recite and repeat. _37_ After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

●_38_ Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can ac tually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

● Use associations._39_ For example, you could make a mental note: “ Vicki Cheng — ta ll, black hair.” To reinforce (强迫) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

● Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. _40_ Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

A. Admit you don’t know.

B. Recite and repeat names.

C. Free yourself from remembering everyone.

D. You can let other people help you remember their names.

E. If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may tell him the truth.
