They started as simple drawings in newspapers in the late 1800s. By the mid-1900s, comics grew into colorful books with exciting characters like superheroes and funny animals. Today, they are not just for kids — many adults enjoy them too! Comics use pictures and words together to tell stories. The pictures are placed in panels (small boxes), and characters often speak through speech bubbles. Graphics novels are similar to comics but are usually longer and tell complete stories in one book. They cover many topics, from fantasy adventures to real-life events. While comics are often short and published weekly or monthly, graphic novels are like thick books that readers can finish in one time. Both use art styles to show emotions — for example, dark colors might mean sadness, while bright colors show happiness. Teachers have started using comics in classrooms. Why? Because combining pictures and words helps students understand difficult ideas. A science comic might explain how plants grow using images and simple texts. Some students even create their own comics to practice writing and drawing skills. Comics also encourage people who don’t like reading long texts to enjoy stories. 30. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. How to draw speech bubbles correctly. B. Differences between comics and graphic novels. C. The history of newspaper cartoons. D. Why adults dislike graphic novels. 31. What can we infer about comics from the text? A. They are only popular with young children. B. They use pictures and colours to express feelings. C. They are less interesting than regular books. D. They were invented in the 21st century. 32. Why might a teacher use comics in class according to the text? A. To make complex topics easier to understand. B. To help students enjoy drawing more than writing. C. To replace all textbooks. D. To encourage students to read fewer books. 33. Which statement about graphic novels is NOT true? A. They usually tell a full story in one book. B. They are often thicker than comic books. C. They are published weekly or monthly. D. They can include stories based on real life. 【答案】30. B 31. B 32. A 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了漫画和图像小说的发展历程、特点、区别以及它们在教学中的应用。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Graphics novels are similar to comics but are usually longer and tell complete stories in one book.”，随后对比了漫画和图像小说在长度、出版频率等方面的不同，主要讲述的是两者的区别。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Both use art styles to show emotions — for example, dark colors might mean sadness, while bright colors show happiness.”可知，漫画会用图画和颜色来表达情感。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Teachers have started using comics in classrooms.

I can tell you that it is probably more than half. With the development of technology, we can now do almost anything on mobile phones. How does the mobile phones affect the young? Do they really need mobile phones? Some British parents, teachers and teenagers give their opinions on this subject. Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without it? William, a parent of two kids, says. “The greatest thing about my kids having mobile phones is that I can keep in touch with them. The worst thing about teenagers having phones is that some young people use them to send impolite messages to each other.” Some parents have rules about their children’s mobile phone. If they break the rules, their phones will be kept by their parents. In the UK, students can take their mobile phones to school, but they cannot use them in class. Some teachers complain (抱怨) that students don’t always follow the rules. They don’t listen carefully in class because they are using their phones to surf the Internet, chat with friends and so on. As for the students, most of them think phones are part of their lives. They can keep in touch with family and friends, and they can take photos, keep important information and go online, which is very convenient (方便). Some see phones as a kind of fashion and they don’t want others to see them as “out” or “different”. It’s true that mobile phones have become a symbol of the modern life. This makes teenagers’ life much more convenient, but if teenagers depend too much on them, it can lead to serious problems. increasingly scientists are saying that everyone needs a break from mobile phones — put them away and enjoy “the real life”. In fact, it can be very easy. Next time when you go out with friends, put all of your phones in the middle of the table. Whoever touches his phone first has to pay the bill！ Indeed, the convenience brought by mobile phones is great, but don’t let your phone become more important than the “real” people in your “real” life. 38.

There was a lot of attractive and meaningful activities. The Cartoon Club organized students to watch three classic cartoons. After that, we shared our favorite one and explained why we liked it. It was a great chance to learn how to appreciate cartoons. The Volunteer Club set up a book-sharing corner. Students could bring their old books and share them with others. In this way, we learned the joy of giving and sharing. The Traditional Skills Club taught us how to make paper-cuts. We were all interested in this traditional art form and tried our best to create beautiful works. It really helped us understand and pass on Chinese traditional culture.

Finally, she chose cleaning. While working, a little kitten (小猫) slowly walked towards her and touched her hand. By lunchtime, she felt braver and even helped give food to the dogs.

At first, Max barked a lot, but Emma gently talked to him and gave him a snack. Slowly, Max became friendly to Emma. It moved his tail happily when he saw her and played ball games with her. As Emma left, Mrs. Green patted her shoulder and said, “You did something important today.” Emma realized something warm growing in her chest (胸膛) — it wasn’t just about finishing tasks. it was about the animal friends’ trust and love, and the quiet joy of being needed. “I will be back next Saturday”, she promised, already looking forward to it. 26.

They started as simple drawings in newspapers in the late 1800s. By the mid-1900s, comics grew into colorful books with exciting characters like superheroes and funny animals. Today, they are not just for kids — many adults enjoy them too! Comics use pictures and words together to tell stories. The pictures are placed in panels (small boxes), and characters often speak through speech bubbles. Graphics novels are similar to comics but are usually longer and tell complete stories in one book. They cover many topics, from fantasy adventures to real-life events. While comics are often short and published weekly or monthly, graphic novels are like thick books that readers can finish in one time. Both use art styles to show emotions — for example, dark colors might mean sadness, while bright colors show happiness. Teachers have started using comics in classrooms. Why? Because combining pictures and words helps students understand difficult ideas. A science comic might explain how plants grow using images and simple texts. Some students even create their own comics to practice writing and drawing skills. Comics also encourage people who don’t like reading long texts to enjoy stories. 30. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. How to draw speech bubbles correctly. B. Differences between comics and graphic novels. C. The history of newspaper cartoons. D.

I can tell you that it is probably more than half. With the development of technology, we can now do almost anything on mobile phones. How does the mobile phones affect the young? Do they really need mobile phones? Some British parents, teachers and teenagers give their opinions on this subject. Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without it? William, a parent of two kids, says. “The greatest thing about my kids having mobile phones is that I can keep in touch with them. The worst thing about teenagers having phones is that some young people use them to send impolite messages to each other.” Some parents have rules about their children’s mobile phone. If they break the rules, their phones will be kept by their parents. In the UK, students can take their mobile phones to school, but they cannot use them in class. Some teachers complain (抱怨) that students don’t always follow the rules. They don’t listen carefully in class because they are using their phones to surf the Internet, chat with friends and so on. As for the students, most of them think phones are part of their lives. They can keep in touch with family and friends, and they can take photos, keep important information and go online, which is very convenient (方便). Some see phones as a kind of fashion and they don’t want others to see them as “out” or “different”. It’s true that mobile phones have become a symbol of the modern life. This makes teenagers’ life much more convenient, but if teenagers depend too much on them, it can lead to serious problems. increasingly scientists are saying that everyone needs a break from mobile phones — put them away and enjoy “the real life”. In fact, it can be very easy. Next time when you go out with friends, put all of your phones in the middle of the table. Whoever touches his phone first has to pay the bill！ Indeed, the convenience brought by mobile phones is great, but don’t let your phone become more important than the “real” people in your “real” life. 38. What is the main idea of the article? A. It is convenient for teenagers to use mobile phones. B. Children should not play mobile phones all the time. C.

Students are not allowed to bring phones to school at all. D. Mobile phones are accepted in school but not allowed in class. 40. What does the author suggest people do at the end of the article? A. Buy the latest mobile phones to stay fashionable. B. Focus on real-life relationships over phone usage. C. Keep in touch with other people with your phone. D. Do not play mobile phones when you are with other people. （二）阅读填空题（每小题1分，共5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. ___41___ Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.
