【2019江苏卷】In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma(岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second les known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera; almost the whole park-2.2 million acres—was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
【语篇解读】本文为说明文。讲述了二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在研究黄石公园的火山历史时, 奇怪地发现到处看不到火山的影子, 原来, 这儿的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子, 而是一个巨大的洞, 这个洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。
4. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？
A. Its complicated geographical features.
B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
C. The mysterious history of the park.
D. The exact location of the volcano.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.可知, 他困惑的是到处看不到火山。故选D。
5. What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about？
A. The shapes of volcanoes.
B. The impacts of volcanoes.
C. The activities of volcanoes.
D. The heights of volcanoes.
【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。本段讲述了两种形状的火山, 一种是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥体, 还有一种极具爆发力的火山, 它们会在一个大裂缝中爆裂, 留下一个巨大的洞, 故选A。
6. What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean？
A. Hot-air balloon. B. Digital camera.
C. Big photograph. D. Bird’s view.
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers.可知, 美国国家航空和宇宙航行局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。一位深思熟虑的官员把其中的一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门, 认为他们可能会将其放大以供一个游客中心展示。故可知, 此处意为将照片放大, 选C。

【2020唐山一模】Stan Lee, co-founder of the Marvel Universe(漫威宇宙) and co­creator of many of its most popular superheroes, died at the age of 95.
Lee was born Stanley Martin Lieber in New York in 1922. As a son of working-class Jewish immigrants from Romania, times were hard and he lived with his family in a shabby single-bedroom apartment. After graduating from high school at 16, Lieber landed a job as an assistant at Timely Comics. By the early 1940s, he was a temporary editor for the company. It was at this time that he began using his pen name — Stan Lee. In 1947, two years after returning from serving for the U. S. Army, Lee married his wife, Joan. The two began their 70－year marriage and had two children.
In the late 1950s, DC Comics breathed new life into its classic superhero and experienced a significant success with its updated version of the Flash, and later with super－team the Justice League of America.
To compete against DC Comics, Lee was given the task of creating their own group of superheroes. In 1961，Timely Comics changed its name into Marvel Comics after Atlas Comics, and that November saw the debut (首次亮相) of the Fantastic Four. Lee's later famous and lasting creations of comic－book superheroes included Spider­Man, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man and the X－Men.
Over the course of his career, Lee was an icon of Marvel Comics. As a writer and editor and, at various points, both the publisher and vice president of Marvel Comics, Lee not only introduced interesting characters to the industry, but changed the way that comic books came together. He also created a cooperative workflow between writers and artists, which became known as the “Marvel Method”. Lee received a National Medal of Arts in 2008 for his innovations that revolutionized American comic books.
【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了漫威创始人斯坦·李富于传奇色彩的一生。作为一名漫威创始人，他对美国的漫画进行了革新，创造了许多超级英雄，荣获了国家艺术奖章。
7. What do we know about Lee from Paragraph 2?
A. He served for the U. S. Army for two years.
B. He suffered from an unfortunate marriage.
C. He had a tough and struggling childhood.
D. He adopted his pen name at the age of 16.
【答案】C
【解析】 C考查推理判断。根据第二段中的”As a son of working－class Jewish immigrants from Romania, times were hard and he lived with his family in a shabby single－bedroom apartment... as an assistant at Timely Comics.”可知，斯坦·李度过了一个艰辛的童年，故选C项。
8. What was the company called when Spider－Man was created?
A. Timely Comics. B. Marvel Comics.
C. Atlas Comics. D. DC Comics.
【答案】B
【解析】考查细节理解。根据第四段中的”In 1961，Timely Comics changed its name into Marvel Comics after Atlas Comics”可知，公司的名字按照时间顺序依次为Timely Comics→Atlas Comics→Marvel Comics，神奇四侠于1961年首次推出，而蜘蛛侠是之后创作的，所以创作蜘蛛侠时公司的名称应是漫威(Marvel Comics)。故选B项。
9. What does the underlined word “icon” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Statue. B. Agent. C. Assistant. D. Symbol.
【答案】D
【解析】考查词义猜测。最后一段介绍了斯坦·李的成就，作为漫威宇宙的创始人之一，斯坦·李可以算是美漫历史上最伟大的人物之一，没有他可能就没有现在的漫威世界，所以他可以被称为漫威宇宙的标志，由此可推知，icon意为”标志”，故选D项。
10. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Stan Lee, the Godfather of Marvel Comics
B. The Development of Marvel Comics
C. Stan Lee, a Superhero in Comic Books
D. The Popular Superheroes of Marvel Comics
【答案】A
【解析】考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，本文介绍了漫威创始人之一斯坦·李的传奇一生。他对美国漫画的影响力是令人瞩目的，他生前所创作的经典作品在世界上都可以称作顶级的文化品牌，所以他被称为漫威之父。godfather意为”开拓者；发起者；创始人”，故选A项。
