LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (Xinhua)—Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee has died at the age of 95,
according to media reports on Monday.
Lee, born in Stanley Lieber on Dec. 28, 1922, began his career in 1939 and joined the Marvel Comics in
1961.
He is considered as one of the most legendary names in the history of comic books and the leading
creative force behind the rise of Marvel Comics. He co-created iconic fictional characters such as Spider-Man,
X-Men, the Avengers, and many more.
Lee’s characters often have super powers, but they also have weaknesses. They were humans, not gods.
They not only struggled to save the world, but also to pay their bills, make friends, and hold jobs. This made
Marvel comic book heroes stand apart from its competitor DC, which produced the seemingly perfect heroes
like Superman and Wonder Woman. Those superheroes have been adapted into blockbuster films, most of
which were made after Disney acquired Marvel in a 4-billion-dollar deal in 2009.
In a statement, Bob Iger, chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company said Stan Lee was as
extraordinary as the characters he created.
Marvel also praised Lee on its website by putting on one of Lee’s famous quotes, which goes, “I used to
be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on
to medical careers. And then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s
lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain, you’re doing a good
thing. ”
Praise from his Hollywood peers and colleagues was generous. President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige
appreciated Lee’s unparalleled impact on the industry. “No one has had more of an impact on my career than
Stan Lee,” Feige said. “Our thoughts are with his family and the millions of fans who have been forever
touched by Stan’s genius, charisma and heart.”
24. How do Lee’s characters differ from those of DC?
A. They are perfect heroes. B. They often have super powers.
C. They are not humans, but gods. D. They have human shortcomings.
25. We can learn from Lee’s statement in Paragraph 6 that ________.
A. it is embarrassing to be a comic-book writer
B. a taste of entertainment is necessary in people’s lives
C. entertainment is the most important thing in the world
D. you can do everything well if you are able to entertain
26. According to the passage, we could know that ________.
A. Lee influenced Kevin Feige’s career a lot
B. Lee joined the Marvel Comics in his forties
C. Lee created the fictional characters all by himself
D. The superheroes were adapted into films before Disney acquired Marvel
27. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Comics Legend—the Marvels and DC
B. The Superheroes in Stan Lee’s Comics
C. Marvel’s Comics Legend Stan Lee Dies at 95
D. The Life Story of Marvel Comics Legend Stan Lee
C
Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony
but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives
the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other
by the government. As in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial
name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by
future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with
traditions in many countries—in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote
friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from
the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in
former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus—obviously named by
some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an
interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name
a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along
this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may
have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月
牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
28. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Change suddenly. B. Change significantly.
C. Disappear mysteriously. D. Disappear very slowly.29. Which of the following places is named after a person?
A. Raffles Place. B. Selector Airbase.
C. Piccadilly Circus. D. Paya Lebar Crescent.
30.Bras Basah Road is named _____.
A. after a person B. after a place C. after an activity D. by its shape
31. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.
A. the government is usually the first to name a place
B. many places tend to have more than one name
C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named
D. people prefer the place names given by the government
D
When we go out traveling, we need either a map or GPS to point us in the right direction. But
bumblebees(大黄蜂) have neither of these things, yet they still know the best route. Why is that?
It turns out that these hard-working little bees try many possible passages before picking out the best one
and remembering it the next time they journey out. They learn from “trial and error”, according to a study by
scientists from the University of London.
We use it all the time in our daily lives—trial and error is a helpful problem-solving method. It is the
basic concept of “learning from your mistakes”. Most of the time, we fail on our first try, so we analyze the
failure, make adjustments and try again. After repeating this a few times, we finally get things right.
This might sound a bit tiring, but it’s certainly effective and it works for bumblebees.
In the study, scientists set up five artificial flowers in a field. Each one of them was fitted with
motion-triggered(运动触发的) cameras and had landing platforms with drops of sugar in the middle to attract
the bees.
At first, scientists noticed the bees’ flying routes were long and complex. But after they gained enough
experience, they gradually got to their destination quicker. Every time a bee tried a new route that was shorter
than the route it had tried before, it was likely to use it again. Otherwise the new route would simply be given
up and another one was tested.
“The speed at which they learn through trial and error is quite extraordinary for bumblebees, as this
complex behavior was thought to be one that only larger-brained animals have,” Professor Lars Chittka, leader
of the study, told Sciencedaily.com.
In fact, the smart bumblebees don’t try every possible route. Normally, they would only try about 20 out
of the 120 possible routes to visit the flowers.
More interestingly, scientists found that if they removed a flower, bees would continue looking at that
location, even if it has been empty for a long time. “It seems bees don’t easily forget a fruitful flower,” Chittka
said.
32. The bumblebees are good at finding the best route because ________.
A. they have relatively smaller brains
B. their body parts function like GPS
C. they try out different routes and remember the best ones
D. they take the trouble of testing every possible route
33. The author explains the bumblebees’ behavior of trial and error by ________.
A. using numbers B. making a metaphor (比喻)
C. making comparisons D. talking about human behavior
34. The study led by professor Lars Chittka suggests that ________.
A. bumblebees try to keep their flying routes long and complex
B. every new route the bumblebees take is shorter than the one they take before
C. bumblebees are familiar with every flying route they have taken before
D. scientists find it unbelievable that bumblebees learn from their mistakes so quickly
35. What is the main point of the article?
A. Bumblebees are as smart as large-brained animals.
B. Trial and error is an effective way to solve our daily problems.
C. A new discovery about how bumblebees find the best routes through trial and error.
D. How bumblebees remember the best routes, small as their brains are.

Changing your life can come in small, easy steps. You can transform yourself and live a better life by
making positive changes along the way. Here are some choices that will lead to your transformation.

better alternatives, and get through your struggle to become a better you! Do it for yourself more than
anything.

your strengths, become aware of what needs improvement, and turn into the well rounded person you need to
be to succeed.
Choose to seek a balanced life
Where do you need balance? Are you all work, no play? Or the opposite? 38 If you’re spending too
much time working or locked away alone, find the time for social interaction and having fun. If you haven’t

39
This is vital to human existence. We need the loving bonds created by family members and friends.
Personal relationships are key to emotional growth and social stability.
Choose to live your passion

第一节 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满 15 分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 A、B、C、D 中，选出可以填空由处的最佳选项。I was touched, so much. A while back, my three-year-old son and I settled back for his goodnight routine.
We lay down in his little bed and he said, “Daddy, when I get big can I live with you?” I 41 him he could
live with me any time he wanted to.
A moment later he said, “When you die you’re going to feel 42 on your face and it will be me
touching you.” Then he promised, “I will kiss you.” He moved over, kissed me. I was aware of tears suddenly
welling up in my eyes. I didn’t want to explain 43 I was crying; as I opened my eyes to look at him, he was
already 44 .
I spent some time looking at him, 45 the minute and wondering about the depth of the 46 I’d had.
It occurred to me that I didn’t remember having much of this kind of 47 time with my father, and that this
was a time that would be extremely short-lived. This time of 48 that forms a three-year-old’s life, would
soon be 49 . What will remain, however, will be the 50 of this short while reoccurring in my mind
non-stop. It made all of the difficult 51 of being a father worthwhile.
Sometimes, being a committed father can feel like you’re 52 the doorkeeper, driver, and cleaner in the
house. Then you will have “a 53 ”, one like this in which your child expresses absolute, pure, and 54 love
for you.
When your kids have left home and you look back at these years, all of these will be strung together to 55
the memories of their lives with you.

150 词左右。
As the mother of an eleven-year-old girl, I have read several books that tell parents how to bring up a girl
to be beautiful, elegant, confident, and rich. However, I have always believed that girls need to be brave above
all else, but this is easier said than done.
I still remember I couldn’t see the screen directly when my daughter switched to the animal channel,
which was broadcasting a show about snakes. I stood as far away from the TV as possible, too scared to open
my eyes. However, my little angel was not scared of the snakes. In fact, she watched the show with a keen
interest. I was relieved that my daughter didn’t get too many genetic phobias(遗传恐惧症). Even to this day,
she is still obsessed with challenging herself with new things.
This year, I got a chance to study in Singapore for six months. After the novelty of the first few days had
gone, I found myself missing my family. With the summer vacation approaching, my husband agreed to make
good use of the fact that I was staying in Singapore. He brought our daughter out to visit me and to enjoy the
new experience in a new country.
The reunion day finally came. My husband and my daughter arrived in the second week of July. I was so
looking forward to seeing them. I had made many preparations for their visit. On the first day, I arranged for us
to see Gardens by the Bay. When we walked out of the MRT station, we were amazed by the sight of the Super
Trees. When my daughter saw lots of people walking on the Skyway, she couldn’t help shouting excitedly that
she wanted to have a try. The Skyway is a 22-meter-high suspension bridge from which you can enjoy a birds
eye view. Last time I came here with my friends, I firmly rejected their repeated attempts to challenge me to go
up there. It was like the day with the snakes all over again. But could I really reject my little angel?
Paragraph 1:
My daughter was waiting for my reply. _________________________________________________________

39．此处是一个小标题，根据上下标题可知答案在 A/B 中选择。本段内容提示“这对人类的生存至关重
要。我们需要家庭成员和朋友建立的爱的纽带。”由此推知，A 项“Choose to spend time with those you
love(选择花时间和你爱的人在一起)”符合该段主旨。love 是关键词，故选 A。
40．上文提示“无论付出什么代价，都要选择去追求那些激情。这可能意味着你要清空你的日程表，或

Dear Mike,
I’m glad to know that you are coming to China with your parents and spend the Mid Autumn Day here. I
sincerely invite you to come to my home on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar to
celebrate it.
The mid-Autumn Day is a traditional festival with a long history which is of much importance to Chinese
people. It stands for a family reunion. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we will sit together and eat moon
cakes and fruit, sharing our stories. During the festival, I am going to accompany you to some traditional
activities, where you can have a close look at some of the Chinese traditions. It is an excellent opportunity for
you to feel the differences between Western and Chinese cultures.
I hope you can accept my invitation and reply to me soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

Possible version one:
My daughter was waiting for my reply. I was secretly very worried. But my daughter kept begging me and
I could not bear to reject her. Bravery was the most significant quality that I wanted her to possess. Her
curiosity was so strong that I couldn’t resist. I nodded slightly, and my daughter’s frowning face slowly broke
into a smile. My response surprised my husband, who reacted with the wildest excitement as we walked
towards the Skyway. When I stepped on it, I found myself horrified by the height. I grabbed the railing, almost
unable to move.
Halfway across the bridge, I had to stop. My heart beat wildly, casting scared glances down the bridge. My
husband and daughter held my hands tightly. I walked as though I were drunk. But their firm gaze built up my
confidence and we kept going together. “Mom, look, it’s so beautiful.” What I saw there filled my soul with
joy. The bay spread out far below me. Beyond it stood the tall and beautiful skyscrapers. I looked down at my
little girl who taught her mother how to be brave, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Possible version two:
My daughter was waiting for my reply. I looked at her, then at the Skyway. I felt my heart threatening to
burst out from my chest. My husband, who was used to this kind of situation and understood how scared I was,
consoled me. He said he could go with our little girl instead. But my daughter wouldn’t give up easily and
shouted out her own encouragement. I plucked up my courage and took my first step onto the suspension
bridge, then another, I inched forward, all the way holding on tight to the handrail.
Halfway across the bridge, I had to stop. I stood there, and my legs trembled despite my fruitless attempt
to stay calm. Below the bridge, the treetops formed an ocean of green waves that threatened to devour me. Just
then, I heard a familiar voice, and two little hands slipped into my arm. Looking down, I saw my little angel’s
bright smile, encouraging me to finish the walk. Eventually, we reached the end together. My husband was
surprised at my nerve, but I knew the reason I had felt so brave was for my little girl.
