Stan Lee, co-founder of the Marvel Universe(漫威宇宙) and co-creator 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 Spider-Man,
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.
24. 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.
25. What was the company called when Spider-Man was created?
A．Timely Comics B．Marvel Comics
C．Atlas Comics D．DC Comics
26. What does the underlined word “icon” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Statue. B．Agent. C．Assistant. D．Symbol.

B．The Development of Marvel Comics.
C．Stan Lee, a Superhero in Comic Books.
D. The Popular Superheroes of Marvel Comics.
(C)
“Nomophobia”, NO Mobile Phone phobia(恐惧) is a 21st-century term for the fear
of not being able to use your smartphone. Smartphone addiction is on the rise, surveys
show, and a new study released adds to a growing body of evidence that smartphone
addiction is harming our minds literally.
Smartphone addiction affects many people from all across the globe. Over 1.8
billion people own smartphones and the average owners check their screens 150 times
a day. Considering those numbers, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when 44% of people
(compared with 20% in 2011) admit feeling anxious when they can’t have access to
their phones.
Researchers from Harvard University used brain imaging to study the brains of 19 teenage boys who were diagnosed with smartphone addiction. Compared with 19
teenagers who were not addicted, the brains of the addicted boys had significantly
higher levels of GABA, which decelerates neurons ( 神 经 元 ) ， than levels of
glutamate-glutamine, which energizes brain signals. That results in poorer attention
and control, which you don’t want to have, because you want to stay focused. So that
means you are easier to get distracted.
“Addicted teenagers in the study also had significantly higher scores in anxiety,
depression and levels of impulsiveness (冲动) ,” said Dr. Leslie Perlow, who led the
study.
If you seem to have the symptoms of smart device addiction, experts have some
suggestions in addition to mindfulness training. First, turn off your phone at certain
times of the day, such as in meetings, when having dinner, playing with your kids, and
of course, driving. Remove social media apps, like Facebook and Twitter from your
phone, and only check-in from your laptop. Try to stop yourself to 15-minute intervals
at set times of the day when it won’t affect work or family life. Don’t bring your
cellphone and its harmful blue light to bed, and use an old-fashioned alarm to wake
you. And last, try to replace your smart device time with healthier activities such as
meditating or actually interacting with real people.
28. What is the conclusion of the research?
A．Smartphone addiction leads to distraction.
B．Smartphone addiction easily causes anger.
C．Smartphone addiction is harmful to the mind.
D．Smartphone addiction brings about anxiety and depression.
29. Where can you find the data that best supports smartphone addiction is on the
rise?
A．In Paragraph 2. B．In Paragraph 3. C．In Paragraph 4. D．In Paragraph 5.
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “decelerates” in Paragraph
3?
A．Speeds up. B．Slows down. C．Adds to. D．Cuts down.
31. Which of the suggestions is encouraged according to the text?A．To use an old-fashion cellphone. B ． To participate in more social
activities.
C．To stop fifteen-minute intervals. D．To turn off the blue light on bed.
(D)
“If you are cold, it will warm you; if you are too heated, it will cool you; if you are
depressed, it will cheer you; if you are exhausted, it will calm you.” The poem best
identifies the passion for tea in Britain. Outside of the United Kingdom, many people
refer to afternoon tea as “high tea”. Afternoon tea, also known as low tea, is what
most people think of when they hear “high tea”. It involves things like manners,
lace(蕾丝) and light meals such as cookies and finger sandwiches. It is typically served
in the mid-afternoon and it was traditionally served on low tables, therefore its two
names.
Legend has it that afternoon tea was started in the mid-1800s by the Duchess(公
爵夫人) of Bedford. Around that time, kerosene(煤油) lamps were introduced into
wealthier homes and eating a late dinner( around 8 or 9 p.m.) became fashionable.
This increasingly late dinner was one of the only two meals each day, and the other
was a mid-morning one. The story goes that the Duchess found herself with a “sinking
feeling”. This came from hunger during the long wait between meals. She decided to
invite friends over for various snacks and tea. The idea of an afternoon tea gathering
spread across high society and became a favorite pastime of females for leisure. Later,
it spread to other social groups.
However, the British working population did not have afternoon tea. They had a
meal about midday, and a meal after work, between five and seven o’clock. This meal
was called “high tea” or just “tea”. Traditionally eaten early evening, high tea was a
substantial meal that combined delicious sweet food, such as cookies, cakes or tea
bread, with heavy food, such as cheese on toast, cold meals and poached eggs on
toast. This meal is now often replaced with a supper due to people eating their main
meal in the evening rather than at midday.
32. What is the author’s purpose of using a poem at the beginning of the passage?A．To introduce a topic. B．To present a puzzle.
C．To describe the phenomenon. D．To clarify his writing purpose.
33. What led to the appearance of afternoon tea?
A．Kerosene lamps were used at home.
B．Upper class had more free time.
C．Drinking tea makes people feel good.
D．Duchess of Bedford was influential in social circle.
34. What was the most important feature of afternoon tea in the mid-1800s?
A． Simple food and tea. B．Being served on low tables.
C．A ladies’ social occasion. D．Serving time.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A．Origins of Tea. B．Ways of Low Tea.
C．Traditional Afternoon Tea. D．High Tea and Low Tea.
