But did you know that he almost wasn’t created? Stan Lee came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was 16 from what had come before. He was a high school student who had everyday problems like us. Back then, superheroes were strong grown men who saved people. Teenagers (青少年) were 17 . The heroes in movies or cartoons didn’t have to 18 real-life problems like working for money and caring for an old family member. They flew to the sky and fought aliens (外星人). Stan Lee was about to 19 that. When Stan told his boss about Spider-Man, his boss said it was “the 20 idea” he’d ever heard, reported the Vintage News. For a time, it seemed like that was the 21 for Stan’s friendly neighbourhood hero. But then, Stan had an idea. One of Marvel Comic (漫画) books was going to stop. According to Stan Lee, “ 22 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 look. 23 , they put Spider-Man onto the covers of the 15th and last issue (期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy. Spider-Man was a great 24 . The issue with the superhero on its cover sold quite well. And so, Spider-Man has his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man.

In the second cartoon, I played both the hero (主角), Qingfeng, and the main bad man, Mountain Spirit the second cartoon, I played both the hero (主角), Qingfeng, and the main bad man, Mountain Spirit Zheng. Dubbing the second cartoon was quite difficult for me. And the hardest part was not reading the written words, but matching the actions when acting out the voices.

She enjoys baking cookies and dreams of being a pianist or poet. And on November 1, Hello Kitty turned 50 years old. A cheerful cat girl who lives with her family in London’s suburbs, Hello Kitty is the best-known character of Japanese company Sanrio. Created by a kitten that her father had given her as a gift, Yuko Shimizu, one of Sanrio’s in-house illustrators (公司内部的插图画家), created the character in 1974. She proved to be the company’s most popular design by far. Sanrio’s sales rocketed almost immediately as her image was put onto children’s toys, stickers. But if Shimizu’s simple and memorable design was the key to Hello Kitty’s early success, it is another illustrator Yuko Yamaguchi who turned her into a pop culture icon. In 1979, Hello Kitty products were reducing in popularity. Aware that Hello Kitty wanted to be a musician, Yamaguchi drew a scene where the character was surrounded by her family after receiving her first grand piano. She was hired on the spot and has overseen the character’s visual identity for almost 45 years. Under Yamaguchi’s influence, the character was loved by young girls and grew with her fans. In 2010, Sanrio began putting Hello Kitty on more adult items, like electronics and kitchen appliances, as it became clear that nostalgia (念旧) was becoming a major selling point. As a result, some of today’s biggest Hello Kitty fans are those who grew up with her in the 1980s and 1990s. Yamaguchi believes the character will endure (持续). “I hope she continues working hard so she can celebrate her 100th anniversary (周年纪念) in 50 years’ time,” the illustrator said. 34．Who created Hello Kitty? A．Nobody. B．Yuko Shimizu. C．Yuko Yamaguchi. D．Kitty herself. 35．What is the correct order of the following events? ① Hello Kitty turned 50 years old.   ②Hello Kitty was loved by young girls. ③Hello Kitty wanted to be a musician.   ④ Hello Kitty was begun putting on more adult items. A．①②③④ B．②①④③ C．③②④① D．④③②① 36．What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3? A．Hello Kitty needed past selling point. B．People didn’t like Hello Kitty any more. C．Hello Kitty products were very expensive. D．The company Sanrio didn’t produce Hello Kitty. 37．How does the author feel about Hello Kitty from the last paragraph? A．Hopeful. B．Thankful. C．Harmful. D．Painful. 【答案】34．B 35．C 36．B 37．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了Hello Kitty这一知名卡通形象。 34．细节理解题。根据“Created by a kitten that her father had given her as a gift, Yuko Shimizu, one of Sanrio’s in-house illustrators, created the character in 1974.”，可知是由Yuko Shimizu创造了Hello Kitty这个角色，故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据“Aware that Hello Kitty wanted to be a musician…”可知，先有Hello Kitty想要成为音乐家这一设定，对应③；接着 “In 1979…Under Yamaguchi’ s influence, the character was loved by young girls...”之后Hello Kitty受到年轻女孩喜爱，对应②；然后“In 2010, Sanrio began putting Hello Kitty on more adult items…”指出开始把Hello Kitty放在更多成人用品上，对应④；最后“And on November 1, Hello Kitty turned 50 years old.”说明Hello Kitty迎来50岁生日，对应①。按照时间先后顺序就是③②④①，故选C。 36．词句猜测题。根据“In 1979, Hello Kitty products were reducing in popularity.”可知在1979年，Hello Kitty产品的受欢迎程度在下降，也就是人们不像之前那样喜欢Hello Kitty了，故选B。 37．观点态度题。根据“I hope she continues working hard so she can celebrate her 100th anniversary in 50 years' time”可知，作者希望Hello Kitty能继续存在并庆祝100周年的愿望，整体是一种积极向上、充满期待的语气，故选A。 D Odd Taxi was one of the best cartoons in 2021.

B Do you like watching cartoons from other countries? Then how do you turn the language to Chinese? This is something called dubbing (配音). Dubbing is to add sounds or words in a new language to a movie, radio or TV show. It can help people comprehend a movie or a show from another country easily. For me, I dubbed TV shows and cartoons from Chinese into English twenty years ago. I did dubbing for many kinds of shows, such as love stories, action movies, comedies and more. However, my favorite ones to dub are cartoons. That’s because with cartoons I can use many different kinds of voices, such as high ones for good people and low ones for bad people. I dubbed many cartoons. A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix (《百鸟朝凤》) and Yu Gong Moves the Mountains are my favorite cartoons. In the first cartoon, I got to play a black bird. In the second cartoon, I played both the hero (主角), Qingfeng, and the main bad man, Mountain Spirit the second cartoon, I played both the hero (主角), Qingfeng, and the main bad man, Mountain Spirit Zheng. Dubbing the second cartoon was quite difficult for me. And the hardest part was not reading the written words, but matching the actions when acting out the voices. Still, it was really fun voicing all of these different roles! If you enjoy making different voices, I wish you can try dubbing at least once. 30．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By talking about a cartoon. D．By asking some questions. 31．Which word is close to the underlined word “comprehend” in Paragraph 1? A．Understand.

D．Action movies. 33．What was the hardest part for the writer in dubbing Yu Gong Moves the Mountains? A．Reading the written words. B．Reading happily behind the screen. C．Matching voices with actions well. D．Using lots of different kinds of voices. C Hello Kitty at 50 SHE weighs three apples and stands five apples tall. She enjoys baking cookies and dreams of being a pianist or poet. And on November 1, Hello Kitty turned 50 years old. A cheerful cat girl who lives with her family in London’s suburbs, Hello Kitty is the best-known character of Japanese company Sanrio. Created by a kitten that her father had given her as a gift, Yuko Shimizu, one of Sanrio’s in-house illustrators (公司内部的插图画家), created the character in 1974. She proved to be the company’s most popular design by far. Sanrio’s sales rocketed almost immediately as her image was put onto children’s toys, stickers. But if Shimizu’s simple and memorable design was the key to Hello Kitty’s early success, it is another illustrator Yuko Yamaguchi who turned her into a pop culture icon. In 1979, Hello Kitty products were reducing in popularity. Aware that Hello Kitty wanted to be a musician, Yamaguchi drew a scene where the character was surrounded by her family after receiving her first grand piano. She was hired on the spot and has overseen the character’s visual identity for almost 45 years. Under Yamaguchi’s influence, the character was loved by young girls and grew with her fans. In 2010, Sanrio began putting Hello Kitty on more adult items, like electronics and kitchen appliances, as it became clear that nostalgia (念旧) was becoming a major selling point. As a result, some of today’s biggest Hello Kitty fans are those who grew up with her in the 1980s and 1990s. Yamaguchi believes the character will endure (持续). “I hope she continues working hard so she can celebrate her 100th anniversary (周年纪念) in 50 years’ time,” the illustrator said. 34．Who created Hello Kitty? A．Nobody. B．Yuko Shimizu. C．Yuko Yamaguchi.

C．Hello Kitty products were very expensive. D．The company Sanrio didn’t produce Hello Kitty. 37．How does the author feel about Hello Kitty from the last paragraph? A．Hopeful. B．Thankful. C．Harmful. D．Painful. D Odd Taxi was one of the best cartoons in 2021. The hero of the cartoon is a taxi driver called Odokawa. He lives a very common life. He has no family and doesn’t talk much.
