Young boys often dream of superpower to solve their problems “If I could just lick my fingers, my homework would be done,” many have imagined. Jerry and Joe put their ideas down on paper and created the world’s most popular superhero, Superman.
In 1931, the two became fast friends at Cleveland’s Glenville High School and ended up crating comics together. Joe was the artist and drew all the time, using bits of any kind of paper he could find. He hung out at newsstands (报摊) concentrating on magazines, especially amazing stories and then took up a pencil to recreate them at home. Jerry was the storyteller and the more ambitious of the two. He described how the creation of Superman came to him in the middle of a sleepless summer night, “I spring out of bed and write this down, and then I go back and think some more for about two hours and get up again and write that down. The inspiration for Superman’s origin story start taking shape, and the next morning, I run over to Joe’s place ...”
As is often the case, when we experience something painful in life, we deal with the feel-ing through creative expression. Jerry’s father owned a shop and died during a robbery. A young child might process that experience by wishing something could have prevented it. For Jerry, out came the Man of Steel, who was invulnerable (刀枪不入的) and tended to protect innocent people. Creating storylines must have helped Jerry to deal with the pain. Superman always wins. He stops trains and bad guys and cannot be killed.
The story of Superman has inspired kids for generations. It has calmed their fears and driven their dreams. Most importantly, the Man of Steel has inspired us all to find our super-power and use it to help others.
4. What can we learn about Jerry and Joe?
A. They became popular superheroes. B. They used their imagination in comics.
C. They lived in their own imaginary world. D. They stood out for their rich experience.
5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The origin of the character Superman. B. The amusing story of Jerry and Joe.
C. The difficulty of creating the character. D. The common experience of Jerry and Joe.
6. Which can best describe Superman?
A. Ambitious. B. Mean. C. Unconquerable. D. Troublesome.
7. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A biography. B. A movie review. C. A science fiction. D. A history textbook.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了漫画作家Jerry和Joe合作创造超人形象的过程，以及他们的作品对美国人的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jerry and Joe put their ideas down on paper and created the world’s most popular superhero, Superman.( Jerry和Joe把他们的想法写在纸上，创造了世界上最受欢迎的超级英雄——超人)”可知，Jerry和Joe在漫画中运用了他们的想象力。故选B。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“In 1931, the two became fast friends at Cleveland’s Glenville High School and ended up crating comics together. Joe was the artist and drew all the time, using bits of any kind of paper he could find.

He described how the creation of Superman came to him in the middle of a sleepless summer night, “I spring out of bed and write this down, and then I go back and think some more for about two hours and get up again and write that down. The inspiration for Superman’s origin story start taking shape, and the next morning, I run over to Joe’s place ...”(1931年，两人在克利夫兰的格伦维尔高中迅速成为朋友，并最终一起创作漫画。乔是个艺术家，他一直在画画，用他能找到的任何一种纸片。他在报摊闲逛，专注于杂志，尤其是那些令人惊叹的故事，然后拿起铅笔在家里重新创作。杰瑞是讲故事的人，也是两人中更有野心的一个。他描述了他是如何在一个不眠之夜创造出超人的。“我从床上跳起来，把这个想法写下来，然后再回去想两个小时左右，然后再起来把它写下来。超人起源故事的灵感开始成形，第二天早上，我跑到乔的住处……”)”可知，第二段的主要内容是创造超人这个角色的来源。故选A。

The invasive (入侵的) species, also called introduced species or foreign species, is any nonnative species that significantly changes or damages the ecosystem it invades. Such species may arrive in new areas through natural migration, but they are often introduced by the activities of other species. Human activities, such as those involved in global commerce and the pet trade, are considered to be the most common ways in which invasive plants, animals, microbes, and other organisms are transported to new habitats.
Most introduced species do not survive extended periods in new habitats, because they do not possess the necessary adaptations to adjust to the challenges posed by their new surroundings. Some introduced species may become invasive when they possess a built-in competitive advantage over native species in invaded areas. They change native food chains and in some cases even get to the top of the food chains, which means the ecosystem lacks natural enemy capable of keeping them in check. Under these circumstances, new arrivals can get the chance to reproduce in large numbers.
The ecological damage that tends to follow such invasions often reduces the ecosystem’s biodiversity and causes economic harm to people who depend on the ecosystem’s biological resources. Invasive species may be so good at catching preys that victim populations decline over time, and many victim species die out in the affected ecosystem. Other invasive species, in contrast, may prevent native species from obtaining food, living space, or other resources. Over time, invasive species can effectively replace native ones, often forcing the localized extinction of many native species. Invasive plants and animals may also serve as disease carriers that spread parasites (寄生虫) and viruses that may further do harm to the invaded area.
8. How do introduced species mainly travel to a new place?
A. Through natural reproduction. B. Through natural migration.
C. Through human activities. D. Though social interactions.
9. What happens to most introduced species in new habitats?
A. They become extinct worldwide. B. They survive from any challenges.
C. They dominate the new world. D. They die off in a short period.
10. What does the underlined word “preys” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Creatures that are hunted and eaten.
B. Species that die out in a new place.
C. Species at the top of food chains.
D. Creatures at the bottom of food chains.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Invasive Species Around the World
B. Invasive Species and Their Impact
C. The Ways Invasive Species Spread
D. The Classification of Introduced Species
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是外来物种的定义及其对新环境的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Human activities, such as those involved in global commerce and the pet trade, are considered to be the most common ways in which invasive plants, animals, microbes, and other organisms are transported to new habitats.(人类活动，例如涉及全球商业和宠物贸易的活动，被认为是入侵植物、动物、微生物和其他生物被转移到新栖息地的最常见方式)”可知，引进的物种主要是通过人类活动传播到一个新的地方，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Most introduced species do not survive extended periods in new habitats, because they do not possess the necessary adaptations to adjust to the challenges posed by their new surroundings.(大多数引进的物种不能在新的栖息地长时间生存，因为它们没有必要的适应能力来适应新环境带来的挑战)”可知，进入新栖息地的大多数引进物种会在短时间内死亡。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Invasive species may be so good at catching(入侵物种可能非常善于捕捉)”和下文定语从句“that victim populations decline over time, and many victim species die out in the affected ecosystem.(随着时间的推移，受害物种数量减少，许多受害物种在受影响的生态系统中灭绝)”可知，preys指的是被猎杀和吃掉的生物。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“The invasive (入侵的) species, also called introduced species or foreign species, is any nonnative species that significantly changes or damages the ecosystem it invades.(入侵物种，也被称为引进物种或外来物种，是任何非本地物种显著改变或破坏其入侵的生态系统)”和第二段的“They change native food chains and in some cases even get to the top of the food chains, which means the ecosystem lacks natural enemy capable of keeping them in check.(它们改变了当地的食物链，在某些情况下甚至到达了食物链的顶端，这意味着生态系统缺乏能够控制它们的天敌)”及第三段的“The ecological damage that tends to follow such invasions often reduces the ecosystem’s biodiversity and causes economic harm to people who depend on the ecosystem’s biological resources.(这种入侵往往会造成生态破坏，往往会减少生态系统的生物多样性，并对依赖生态系统生物资源的人们造成经济损害)”可知，本文主要讲的是外来物种的定义及其对新环境的影响。由此可知，B选项“Invasive Species and Their Impact(入侵物种及其影响)”适合作本文标题。故选B。
D
Teenagers whose non-cognitive (非认知的) skills are poorly developed are more likely to suffer from health problems later in life, according to a new research by a group of experts from the University of Manchester.
Rose Atkins of that university, along with her colleagues set out to investigate noncognitive skills as they are one of the least explored determining factors of health and well-being, despite the fact that evidence surrounding their importance is growing quickly.
These skills are conscientiousness (尽责性), which tells how hardworking, careful and stubborn an adolescent is, and neuroticism (神经质), which shows how worried, unhappy and fearful an adolescent is,
The researchers used data on a group of individuals who were followed throughout their life and carried out statistical analysis to study the relationship between adolescent non-cognitive skills and later-life health. The non-cognitive skills were reported by teachers, based on the behavior of students at age 16.
The study found that individuals whose adolescent conscientiousness is higher deal with stress in adulthood better, and are at a lower risk of some diseases. And individuals whose adolescent neuroticism is higher have a poorer, health related quality of life in adulthood and are at a greater risk of some diseases.
The researchers conclude that policies to improve adolescent conscientiousness and reduce adolescent neuroticism would offer the most long-term health benefits to those with the poo-rest health, “There is a growing body of evidence that suggests school-based interventions to improve non-cognitive skills can have lasting positive effects on important life outcomes,” said Rose. “Extra-curricular activities and work experience have also been shown to improve these skills. Having a greater focus on the improvement of non-cognitive skills at both primary and secondary school levels would be a positive policy decision, However, these skills are also determined by factors like family income, parental education, and parental investment. There-tore, more complex public policy is needed to reduce social inequality.”
12. What can be inferred about non-cognitive skills?
A. They can fall into three categories.
B. They are mainly developed in childhood.
C. Their importance has been totally ignored.
D. Their impact on health doesn’t get enough attention.
13. How did the researchers do their research?
A. They carried out a large survey.
B. They collected data from individuals.
C. They followed 16-year-old individuals.
D. They compared data from other research.
14. What do the researchers think their findings suggest?
A Improving teens’ non- cognitive skills isn’t that challenging.
B. Schools should reduce the time for extra-curricular activities.
C. Measures should be taken to improve teens’ non-cognitive skills.
D. Social inequality is the major cause of poor non-cognitive skills.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Teens’ health in later life can be predicted.
B. Teachers can improve students’ non-cognitive skills,
C. The importance of non-cognitive skills is being recognized.
D. Non-cognitive skills in adolescents affect their health in later life.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是青少年的非认知能力会影响他们后期的身体健康。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Rose Atkins of that university, along with her colleagues set out to investigate noncognitive skills as they are one of the least explored determining factors of health and well-being, despite the fact that evidence surrounding their importance is growing quickly.(该大学的Rose Atkins和她的同事们开始调查非认知技能，因为它们是对健康和幸福的决定因素中探索最少的因素之一，尽管有关它们重要性的证据正在迅速增加)”可知，非认知技能对健康的影响没有得到足够的重视。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“The researchers used data on a group of individuals who were followed throughout their life and carried out statistical analysis to study the relationship between adolescent non-cognitive skills and later-life health.(研究人员使用了一组人的数据，这些人一生都在接受跟踪调查，并进行了统计分析，以研究青少年非认知技能与晚年健康之间的关系)”可知，研究人员从个人那里收集数据来进行研究，故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Having a greater focus on the improvement of non- cognitive skills at both primary and secondary school levels would be a positive policy decision, However, these skills are also determined by factors like family income, parental education, and parental investment.(在小学和中学阶段更加关注非认知技能的提高将是一个积极的政策决定，然而，这些技能也由家庭收入、父母教育和父母投资等因素决定)”可知，研究人员认为他们的发现说明应该采取措施提高青少年的非认知技能。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Teenagers whose non-cognitive (非认知的) skills are poorly developed are more likely to suffer from health problems later in life, according to a new research by a group of experts from the University of Manchester.(曼彻斯特大学的一组专家进行的一项新研究表明，非认知能力发育不良的青少年在以后的生活中更容易出现健康问题)”可知，本文主要讲的是青少年的非认知技能会影响他们以后的健康。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了清明节的相关内容。
【详解】1.考查定冠词。句意：清明节是中国最重要的传统节日之一。分析句子可知，此处是最高级，应使用定冠词进行修饰。故在most前加the。
2. 考查定语从句。句意：端午节一般在4月4日或5日，这是大多数中国人享受公共假期的时候。分析句子可知，该句是非限制性定语从句，先行词是April 4th or 5th，表示时间，且在从句中作时间状语，应使用关系副词when。故将where改为when。
3. 考查时态。句意：清明节也叫扫墓节。结合上下文语境可以判断，该句在陈述一般事实，应该使用一般现在时。故将was改为is。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这是中国人通过清理祖先的坟墓和供奉祭品来表达对祖先的尊重的时候。分析句子可知，此处是固定句式it is the time for sb to do sth，意为“是做……的时候”。故将showing改为show。
5. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这是中国人通过清理祖先的坟墓和供奉祭品来表达对祖先的尊重的时候。分析句子可知，此与上文cleaning并列，都是介词by的宾语，应使用v-ing形式。故将place改为placing。
6. 考查介词。句意：此外，清明汉语的意思是“清晰”和“亮度”。分析句子可知，此处是固定短语in addition(除此之外)，in addition与in addition to都是表示并列关系的短语，有宾语的时候才需要介词to。故去掉addition后面的to。
7. 考查连词。句意：此外，清明汉语的意思是“清晰”和“亮度”。根据句意可知，上下文是并列关系，而非选择关系。故将or改为and。
8. 考查名词复数。句意：这是中国阳历24节气中的第五个节气。根据上文数字24可知，后文中的名词应使用复数形式，此处应用term的复数形式。故将term改为terms。
9. 考查副词。句意：此外，它也标志着温暖的春天的开始和繁忙的农业季节的开始。分析句子可知，此处表示“此外”，应使用副词besides，修饰整个句子。故将Beside改为Besides。
10. 考查形容词。句意：此外，它也标志着温暖的春天的开始和繁忙的农业季节的开始。分析句子可知，此处用形容词作定语,修饰名词farming season。故将busily改为busy。
