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 ofsuperhero
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 oldpeople. 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!
49. 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.
50. 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.
51. What does the underlined phrase "a huge hit" probably mean?
A. brave
B. kind
C. successful.
D. pleasant
52. 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.
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.
学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司
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 wantedto see if humans
with no training or experience could understand the signs ofchimpanzees and bonobos. They created
a game for people to play online. The gamewas simple. People watched short videos of apes making
a sign. Then they had tochoose 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 thesigns of apes.
But it's not clear why. They need to study how humans are able tounderstand the signs of apes.
53. 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.
54. 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.
55. 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.
56. 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.
