Spider-Man is often thought of as one of the best superheroes of all time. But did you know that he almost wasn’t created?
Stan Lee came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was a different kind of superhero from what had come before. He was a teenager who had everyday problems. Back then, superheroes were strong grown men who saved people. Teenagers were helpers. The heroes didn’t have to worry about real-life problems like paying bills and caring for old people. They flew in the sky and fought aliens. Stan Lee planned to change that.
When Stan told his boss about Spider-Man, his boss said it was “the worst idea” he’d ever heard, reported the Vintage News. For a time, it seemed like that was the end for Stan’s friendly neighborhood hero. But then, Stan had an idea. One of Marvel Comics’ books was getting canceled (取消). According to Stan Lee, “Nobody cared what you put inside a book that was going to be killed.” So, Stan Lee teamed up with artist Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man’s iconic (标志性的) look. Together, they put Spider-Man onto the 15th and last issue (期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy. Spider-Man was a huge hit. The issue, showing the superhero on its cover, was a bestseller. And so, Spider-Man was given his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man. He has become one of the most popular fictional (虚构的) characters of all time. So, if you have an idea that you think is great, don’t give up!
29. What made Spider-Man different from other superheroes at that time?
A. A grown man with lots of courage. B. A teenager with daily problems.
C. Never worrying about real-life problems. D. Always fighting aliens from outer space.
30. Why did Stan Lee almost give up on the idea of Spider-Man?
A. Because his boss didn’t like the idea. B. Because no artist wanted to work with him.
C. Because he ran out of ideas for the character. D. Because his book was going to be canceled.
31. What does the underlined phrase “a huge hit” probably mean?
A. Brave. B. Kind. C. Successful. D. Pleasant.
32. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Superheroes are far away from us. B. We need to change our ideas.
C. Giving up does not mean failure. D. Being creative is all you need.
【答案】29. B 30. A 31. C 32. D

From pointing to nodding, humans use signs to help communicate when talking to each other. Apes (猿) also have their own special signs to show what they mean. According to a new study, humans can understand the signs of apes.
Chimpanzees and bonobos (小黑猩猩) are two kinds of apes that are closest to humans. They use about 80 different signs to show what they mean. Although the two groups of apes use different signs sometimes, they share 90% of the same signs.
Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St Andrews wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the signs of chimpanzees and bonobos. They created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a sign. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the sign out of four possible answers.
The scientists were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the signs over 50% of the time. For some of the signs, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example of this was the sign of “wiping (擦) the mouth” meaning “give me that food”.
The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the signs of apes. But it’s not clear why. They need to study how humans are able to understand the signs of apes.
33. What can we know about Chimpanzees and bonobos from the first two paragraphs?
A. They are the same as humans. B. They can make about 80 signs.
C. They use the same sign language. D. They can talk with humans.
34. What can we learn about the game from the text?
A. Both humans and apes could play the game.
B. The game was easy for Apes to find right answers.
C. There were four choices to choose from for each sign.
D. People could choose all of the correct meanings.
35. How will Apes ask for some food according to the text?
A. By pointing to the food. B. By nodding at other apes.
C. By wiping their mouths. D. By making a big loud noise.
36 What can be the best title for the text?
A. A study: Apes’ special sign language. B. A study: animals are closest to humans.
C. A study: humans’ understanding of apes’ signs. D. A study: different sign languages between apes.
【答案】33. B 34. C 35. C 36. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了一项新的研究，人类可以理解类人猿的手势。

【36题详解】
最佳标题。根据首段“Apes (猿) also have their own special signs to show what they mean. According to a new study, humans can understand the signs of apes.”猿类也有自己的特殊手势来表明它们的意思。根据一项新的研究，人类可以理解类人猿的手势。可知，本文的标题为“一项研究：人类对猿类手势的理解”。故选C。

【42题详解】
句意：她通过钓鱼谋生。根据“by”是介词，介词后加动名词，所以将fish变成动名词fishing。故填fishing。
【43题详解】
句意：然后她发明了旗袍帮助自己容易钓鱼。根据语境，帮助的是她自己，所以将she变为反身代词herself。故填herself。
【44题详解】
句意：有一个年轻的穿着漂亮长裙子的钓鱼女子。分析句子可知，横线上应是形容词修饰名词dress。所以将名词beauty变为形容词beautiful。故填beautiful。
【45题详解】
句意：幸运的是，他们在他的父亲告诉他的那个地方找到了她。分析句子可知，横线上应是副词修饰整个句子，后文说找到了，应是幸运地，所以应将名词luck变为副词luckily，由于放句首首字母大写。故填Luckily。
【46题详解】
句意：她带着她的旗袍。分析句子可知，横线上的词是谓语动词，由于描述的故事是过去时态，所以应将所给词变为过去式brought。故填brought。
【47题详解】
句意：它要么是丝绸要么是棉质的。根据“It”代指旗袍，与动词make之间是被动关系，描述的是现在的情况，所以应是一般现在时的被动语态。故填is made。

Spider-Man is often thought of as one of the best superheroes of all time. But did you know that he almost wasn’t created?
Stan Lee came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was a different kind of superhero from what had come before. He was a teenager who had everyday problems. Back then, superheroes were strong grown men who saved people. Teenagers were helpers. The heroes didn’t have to worry about real-life problems like paying bills and caring for old people. They flew in the sky and fought aliens. Stan Lee planned to change that.
When Stan told his boss about Spider-Man, his boss said it was “the worst idea” he’d ever heard, reported the Vintage News. For a time, it seemed like that was the end for Stan’s friendly neighborhood hero. But then, Stan had an idea. One of Marvel Comics’ books was getting canceled (取消). According to Stan Lee, “Nobody cared what you put inside a book that was going to be killed.” So, Stan Lee teamed up with artist Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man’s iconic (标志性的) look. Together, they put Spider-Man onto the 15th and last issue (期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy. Spider-Man was a huge hit. The issue, showing the superhero on its cover, was a bestseller. And so, Spider-Man was given his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man. He has become one of the most popular fictional (虚构的) characters of all time. So, if you have an idea that you think is great, don’t give up!
29. What made Spider-Man different from other superheroes at that time?
A. A grown man with lots of courage. B. A teenager with daily problems.

From pointing to nodding, humans use signs to help communicate when talking to each other. Apes (猿) also have their own special signs to show what they mean. According to a new study, humans can understand the signs of apes.
Chimpanzees and bonobos (小黑猩猩) are two kinds of apes that are closest to humans. They use about 80 different signs to show what they mean. Although the two groups of apes use different signs sometimes, they share 90% of the same signs.
Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St Andrews wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the signs of chimpanzees and bonobos. They created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a sign. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the sign out of four possible answers.
The scientists were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the signs over 50% of the time. For some of the signs, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example of this was the sign of “wiping (擦) the mouth” meaning “give me that food”.
The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the signs of apes. But it’s not clear why. They need to study how humans are able to understand the signs of apes.
33. What can we know about Chimpanzees and bonobos from the first two paragraphs?
A. They are the same as humans. B. They can make about 80 signs.
C. They use the same sign language. D. They can talk with humans.
34. What can we learn about the game from the text?
A. Both humans and apes could play the game.
B. The game was easy for Apes to find right answers.
C. There were four choices to choose from for each sign.
D. People could choose all of the correct meanings.
35. How will Apes ask for some food according to the text?
A. By pointing to the food. B. By nodding at other apes.
C. By wiping their mouths. D. By making a big loud noise.
36 What can be the best title for the text?
A. A study: Apes’ special sign language. B. A study: animals are closest to humans.
C. A study: humans’ understanding of apes’ signs. D. A study: different sign languages between apes.
【答案】33. B 34. C 35. C 36. C
