阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Since early May 2022, cases of monkeypox (猴痘) have been reported from countries where the disease is not endemic(地方性流行的), and continue to be reported in several endemic countries. Most confirmed cases with travel history reported travel to countries in Europe and North America, rather than West or Central Africa where the monkeypox virus is endemic. This is the first time that many monkeypox cases and clusters have been reported concurrently in non-endemic and endemic countries in widely disparate geographical areas. Click here for more information.
WHO is collaborating with health authorities to prevent further spread of the disease. We are issuing guidance to help countries on surveillance, laboratory work, clinical care, infection prevention and control, as well as risk communication and community engagement to inform communities at risk and the broader general public about monkeypox and how to keep safe.
You can catch monkeypox through close contact with someone who has symptoms. Close contact includes skin-to-skin; face-to-face; mouth-to-skin and mouth-to-mouth. You can also catch monkeypox from contaminated bedding, towels, surfaces or objects.
Protect yourself
• If someone you know is diagnosed with or has suspected monkeypox, avoid close contact with them
• Know the symptoms and check yourself regularly
• If you have symptoms, seek health advice and self-isolate while you wait to get tested.
• Get vaccinated if it is available to you
• Clean and disinfect (将……消毒) environments that could have been contaminated with the virus from someone who is infectious
• Stay informed about monkeypox in your area
• Have open, non-judgmental conversations with people you come into close contact with about any symptoms you or they may have
Protect others if you are recovering from monkeypox at home
• Isolate in a separate room
• Use a separate bathroom, or clean and disinfect it (with household disinfectant) after each use
• Clean hands frequently using soap and water or an alcobol-based hand sanitizer
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects
• Don’t sweep and vacuum
• Use separate dishes, cups, bedding, towels and electronics.
• Do your own laundry. Put everything in a plastic bag before carrying it to the washing machine. Use soap and water>60 degrees.
• Keep good ventilation (通风)

As introduction to backpacking go, this might be pushing it. At noon on a brilliant Tuesday in March, my 12-year-old son Kai and I are a mile and a half into a four-day, 27-mile walk through the Grand Canyon (峡谷) — his first backpacking trip — when he asks, “Are we almost to camp?” Um, no. Camp, at Hermit Creek, is seven miles and nearly 2,500 feet below. That will take us several more hours.
We are here largely because of a birthday note Kai wrote to me two years ago in which he declared, “You used to be a wild 10-year-old like me and now you’re a wild 53-year-old. We can do so many things together! I am excited for when I’m old enough for the Grand Canyon.”
There are, I suppose, dads who could resist that, just as there are fathers who would plan an experience-appropriate trip for their sons. I am neither, so here we are. Never mind that; aside from simply being 12, Kai has done almost nothing to physically prepare for this. Or that I haven’t backpacked for 13 years.
We go down a poorly maintained path off the canyon with twisty trees and twining bushes. Gradually the view broadens, the landscape in Vishnu fascinates Kai greatly. “This place is amazing.” he says. Nightfall in the canyon can be magical. Darkness surrounds us, pressed by cool air. Hearing the sound of a waterfall, we lie down to take in the stars. Twice I suggest we turn in. “Not yet,” Kai says. “This is too unbelievable.”
Wednesday, we travel three miles to Monument Creek, and hike a mile and 1,000 feet down to the Colorado River. The next morning at 7:30 when we march out, I’m optimistic, and Kai sets a quick pace. Friday, we rise before dawn and are the first ones out of camp; for an hour we have the Bright Angel Trail and its soaring (高耸的) scenery to ourselves.
In that birthday card Kai had also written, “Even when you’re 100, you will always be wild,” Nice, If I’m lucky enough to make it there, it looks like I’ll have company.
4. According to the author, why does he go backpacking in the Grand Canyon with Kai?
A. To fulfill the author’s birthday wish.
B. To develop Kai’s strong will.
C. To promote the father-and-son relationship.
D. To satisfy Kai’s desire for the Grand Canyon.
5. What can we know about the author?
A. He is enthusiastic about meeting challenges,
B. He has been engaged in backpacking for years.
C. He favors an experience-appropriate trip for his son.
D. He tends to make sufficient preparations for backpacking in advance.
6. How does Kai probably feel during the trip?
A. Exhausted. B. Excited. C. Relieved. D. Desperate.
7. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Kai hopes his dad will live a long life.
B. Kai believes his dad will be wilder in the future.
C. The author enjoys Kai’s company during the trip.
D. The author doubts whether he can live as old as 100.

C
If you’ re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister — you might just grab the pizza. Your boss — you probably will give up.
Now researchers have made progress in understanding how mammals’ brain encodes social rank and uses this information to shape behaviors — such as whether to fight for the last pizza slice. They discovered that an area of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was responsible for representing social rank in mammals; changes to a mouse’s mPFC affected its dominance behavior. But it was unknown how the mPFC represented this information and which neurons(神经元) were involved in changing dominance behaviour.
In the new study, Professor Kay Tye let groups of four mice share a cage. Some mice became more dominant and others more subordinate. As soon as the mice were paired up, he discovered, the activity of their mPFC neurons could predict — with 90 percent certainty — the rank of their opponent.
“We expected animals might only signal rank when they are in a competition,” says co-researcher Nancy. “But it turns out animals walk around with this representation of social rank all the time.”
When the researchers next asked whether the activity of the mPFC neurons was associated with behaviour, they found something surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviour, such as how fast a mouse moved, and they also could predict — a full 30 seconds before the competition started — which mouse would win the food reward.
The winner was not always the more dominant, but the one engaged in a winning mindset. Just as you might sometimes be in a more competitive mood and be more likely to snatch that pizza slice before your boss, a subordinate mouse might be in a more winning mindset than a more dominant mouse and end up winning.
The areas of the mPFC associated with social rank and winning mindset are next to one another and highly connected. Signals on social rank impact the state of the brain involved in winning mindset. In other words, a subordinate mouse’s confidence and winning mindset may partially decrease when faced with a dominant one.
“This is further evidence to suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with others compared to when we’re alone,” says Tye.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To provide background information. B. To state the importance of social rank.
C. To give readers an example of social rank. D. To introduce the topic of the reading passage.
9. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The mPFC neurons. B. The researchers.
C. The brain activity patterns. D. The changes in behaviour.
10. What can we learn from the new study?
A. Brain activities can influence social rank.
B. Dominant opponents boost winning mindset.
C. Social rank and winning mindset affect behaviour.
D. Animals only exhibit their rank in competition.
11. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Winning mindset establishes dominance.
B. Social rank guides competitive behaviour.
C. A subordinate mouse can never been a winner.
D. Awareness of different people around you make your brain use different neurons.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员对大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质(mPFC)的区域如何参与改变支配行为的研究,得出结论:处于“胜利心态”的人更容易成为具有统治力的人,意识到周围不同的人会让你的大脑使用不同的神经元。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister—you might just grab the pizza. Your boss—you probably will give up. But if you’re hungry and feeling particularly confident, you might go for it. ” (如果你在派对上伸手去拿最后一块披萨,同时看到另一只手在拿,你的下一步行动可能取决于你的感觉以及那只手属于谁。如果是你妹妹——你可能就去拿披萨。如果是你的老板——你可能会放弃。但是如果你饿了并且感觉特别自信,你可能会去拿披萨。)结合之后文章提出大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质(mPFC)的区域负责代表哺乳动物的社会地位,可知作者写第一段是为了引出一个主要话题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“When the researchers next asked whether the activity of the mPFC neurons was associated with behaviour, they found something surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviour, such as how fast a mouse moved, and they also could predict—a full 30 seconds before the competition started—which mouse would win the food reward. ” (当研究人员再次询问mPFC神经元的活动是否与行为有关时,他们发现了一些令人惊讶的事情。大脑活动模式与行为的轻微变化有关,例如老鼠移动的速度,它们还可以在比赛开始前整整30秒预测哪只老鼠会赢得食物奖励。)可知研究人员发现大脑活动模式与行为密切相关,划线部分的“they”指的是大脑活动模式。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The areas of the mPFC associated with social rank and “winning mindset” are next to one another and highly connected. Signals on social rank impact the state of the brain involved in “winning mindset”. In other words, a subordinate mouse’s confidence and “winning mindset” may partially decrease when faced with a dominant one. ”( mPFC中与社会地位和“获胜心态”相关的区域彼此相邻,高度相关。社会等级的信号会影响“获胜心态”的大脑状态。换句话说,当面对占优势的老鼠时,从属老鼠的信心和“获胜心态”可能会部分下降。)可知社会地位和获胜心态可能会影响心态,从而影响行为。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister — you might just grab the pizza. Your boss — you probably will give up. ” (如果你在派对上伸手去拿最后一块披萨,同时看到另一只手在拿,你的下一步行动可能取决于你的感觉以及那只手属于谁。如果是你妹妹——你可能就去拿披萨。如果是你的老板——你可能会放弃。);再根据倒数第一段““This is further evidence to suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with others compared to when we’re alone,” says Tye. ” (Tye说,这是进一步的证据表明,当我们和别人在一起时,与我们独自一人时相比,我们的大脑状态是不同的。)可知,我们大脑的神经元会随着周围不同的人而发生改变。故选D项。
D
Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Pinocchio, and more Disney characters all have something in common — gloves. Although there are many surprising facts about Disney’s characters, putting gloves on them is actually a reasonable move.
The short answer as to why so many characters wear gloves is that animation (动画制作) is a difficult process. It takes time and efforts to create the characters you know and love. Animators wanted to make their job easier and faster with a few techniques. One of these techniques was using round edges (边) instead of angles. So this also meant making some parts simple, such as hands, to make the animation process quicker.
Still, in the age of black-and-white cartoons, separating characters’ round-edged hands from their black bodies was hard. Gloves were an easy way to make their hands stand out. In fact, Walt Disney might have been the first to put gloves on his characters. Once animation moved away from black and white, Mickey and his friends kept their white gloves.
Besides keeping the animation simple, Walt Disney told his biographer, Bob Thomas, that the gloves existed for another reason: to make the mouse more like a human. “We didn’t want him to have mouse hands because he was supposed to be more human,” Disney told Thomas in 1957. “So we gave him gloves. Five fingers seemed like too much on such a little figure, so we took away one. That was just one less finger to animate.” All this Disney’s talk makes us want to go back and look at photos of Mickey Mouse.
12. Why were round edges used in animation?
A. They looked more beautiful.
B. They could be copied more easily.
C. They could make the creating job easier.
D. They were more popular with children.
13. What can we know about Mickey Mouse?
A. It is like a human with five fingers.
B. Its hands are different from humans’.
C. Gloves help it stand out among all characters.
D. It wore gloves in the past but it doesn’t nowadays.
14. What does the Disney’s talk make people do?
A. Enjoy Mickey’s beauty.
B. Count Mickey’s fingers.
C. Recall our childhood.
D. Check Mickey’s gloves’ color.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How Disney created his characters.
B. What difference Disney characters have.
C. What makes Disney characters so popular.
D. Why Disney characters wear white gloves.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了迪士尼的卡通人物都戴手套的原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“One of these techniques was using round edges(边)instead of angles. So this also meant making some parts simple, such as hands, to make the animation process quicker.(其中一种技术就是用圆边代替角。所以这也意味着制作一些简单的部分,如手,使动画过程更快。)”可知,圆边可以让制作过程更快捷,所以使用圆边是因为他们可以使创造工作更容易。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Five fingers seemed like too much on such a little figure, so we took away one. That was just one less finger to animate.(对于这么小的身材,五根手指似乎太多了,所以我们拿走了一根。那只是少了一个手指 )”可知,米老鼠的手与人类的手不同。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“All this Disney’s talk makes us want to go back and look at photos of Mickey Mouse.(迪士尼的这些言论让我们不禁想回去看看米老鼠的照片)”可推知,人们读到这里会去看看米老鼠的照片,数数它的手指。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Pinocchio, and more Disney characters all have something in common — gloves. Although there are many surprising facts about Disney’s characters, putting gloves on them is actually a reasonable move.(米奇、米妮、唐老鸭、皮诺曹和更多的迪斯尼人物都有一个共同点——手套。虽然迪士尼的角色有很多令人惊讶的事实,但给他们戴上手套其实是一个合理的举动)”分析全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了迪士尼的卡通人物都戴手套的原因。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了中国古代建筑选择的不同颜色,以及代表着什么。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意:在古代,北京的建筑家和建筑师依靠五种颜色为他们的作品增添活力:红色、黄色、蓝色、白色和灰色。分析句子可知,动词rely“依靠”所指的动作已经发生,故使用一般过去时。故填relied。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:这些颜色与五种不同的元素相连:金属、木材、水、火和土。分析句子可知,此句包含动词短语be connected to/with,表示“与……相连,有联系”。故填to/with。
【43题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:中国圣贤老子说,五种颜色会使人眼花,所以在建筑艺术中,建议设计时使用的主色不超过三种。分析句子可知,动词use“使用”在句中和主语colors“颜色”构成动宾关系,故应该使用被动语态。故填be used。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:传统上,红色代表温暖和最高能量。分析句意可知,此处用副词作状语修饰整个句子,故应该使用副词形式traditionally。故填Traditionally。
【45题详解】
考查关系副词。句意:红色与好运的联系是红色在婚礼,新年和其他重要的庆祝活动中很重要的原因。分析句子可知,空格处需要填写关系副词引导定语从句,修饰先行词the reason“原因”,且在从句中作原因状语。故填why。
【46题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:红色与好运的联系是红色在婚礼,新年和其他重要的庆祝活动中很重要的原因。分析句子可知,名词celebration“庆祝活动”为可数名词,其前有other“其他的”修饰,应该使用复数形式。故填celebrations。
【47题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:在旧时的北京,黄色是另一种明显的颜色,代表皇帝的权力。分析句子可知,动词stand“代表”用非谓语动词形式作状语,修饰another obvious color“另一种明显的颜色”,且二者构成主谓关系,故使用现在分词。故填standing。
【48题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:黄帝是中华民族的神话始祖,而考古学家在黄河流域发现了中国文明的最早例证。分析句子可知,形容词early“早的”在句中作定语修饰examples“例子”,且前有定冠词,故需要使用最高级形式。故填earliest。
【49题详解】
考查代词。句意:人们发现蓝色对光有很高的敏感性,是用来制作图画副本的完美颜色。分析句子可知,本句的真正主语是从句“that blue had a high sensitivity to light, and was the perfect color used to create copies of drawings (蓝色对光有很高的敏感性,是用来制作图画副本的完美颜色)”,主语从句置于句末,因此句首需要使用代词it作形式主语。故填It。
【50题详解】
考查不定式。句意:人们发现蓝色对光有很高的敏感性,是用来制作图画副本的完美颜色。分析句子可知,动词create“创造”在句中作目的状语,故应该使用不定式。故填to create。

4. covered→covering
5. amazed→amazement
6. using→used
7. bunch→bunches
8. enjoyable→enjoyably
9. an→a
10. What→It
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和一些同学去绿色农场参加摘葡萄的活动的故事。
【详解】1.考查谓语动词。句意:上周末,我和一些同学一起去绿色农场参加了采摘葡萄的活动。分析句子可知,该句缺少谓语动词,由时间状语Last weekend可知,此处动词应为一般过去时。故将going改为went。
2.考查动词短语。句意:上周末,我和一些同学一起去绿色农场参加了采摘葡萄的活动。分析句子可知,此处为动词短语participate in“参加”,满足句意要求。故在participate后加in。
3.考查连词。句意:穿过“绿色通道”,我们来到了占地100亩的葡萄园内。分析句子可知,该句Walking through the “Green Passage”是现在分词短语作作状语,不是句子,不需要连词where。故将where删除。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:穿过“绿色通道”,我们来到了占地100亩的葡萄园内。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰garden,因garden和动词cover为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故将covered改为covering。
5.考查固定搭配。句意:令我们惊讶的是,我们看到先进的技术和设备用于高效农业。分析句子可知,此处为固定搭配To one’s amazement“令人惊讶的是”,满足句意要求。故将amazed改为amazement。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:令我们惊讶的是,我们看到先进的技术和设备用于高效农业。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作宾语补足语,因advanced technology and equipment和动词use为被动关系,所以为过去分词形式。故将using改为used。
7.考查名词复数形式。句意:我们的目光所及之处,都是一串串的葡萄,红的紫的,在阳光下像珍珠一样闪闪发光。根据句意以及谓语动词were可知,此处名词bunch“串”应为复数形式。故将bunch改为bunches。
8.考查副词。句意:我们不仅直接从植物上收集水果,而且还在那里愉快地吃了很多新鲜的葡萄。由副词修饰动词可知,此处为副词enjoyably修饰动词ate。故将enjoyable改为enjoyably。
9.考查冠词。句意:这项活动带给我们的是一种独特的快乐。unique为辅音音素开头的单词,所以此处冠词an应为a。故将an改为a。
10.考查it用法。句意:这也是一个让我们接近自然的好机会。分析句子结构可知,该句为It is +名词+for sb to do的固定句型,it为形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式to get close to nature。故将What改为It。

Since early May 2022, cases of monkeypox (猴痘) have been reported from countries where the disease is not endemic(地方性流行的), and continue to be reported in several endemic countries. Most confirmed cases with travel history reported travel to countries in Europe and North America, rather than West or Central Africa where the monkeypox virus is endemic. This is the first time that many monkeypox cases and clusters have been reported concurrently in non-endemic and endemic countries in widely disparate geographical areas. Click here for more information.
WHO is collaborating with health authorities to prevent further spread of the disease. We are issuing guidance to help countries on surveillance, laboratory work, clinical care, infection prevention and control, as well as risk communication and community engagement to inform communities at risk and the broader general public about monkeypox and how to keep safe.

• Clean and disinfect (将……消毒) environments that could have been contaminated with the virus from someone who is infectious
• Stay informed about monkeypox in your area
• Have open, non-judgmental conversations with people you come into close contact with about any symptoms you or they may have
Protect others if you are recovering from monkeypox at home
• Isolate in a separate room
• Use a separate bathroom, or clean and disinfect it (with household disinfectant) after each use

As introduction to backpacking go, this might be pushing it. At noon on a brilliant Tuesday in March, my 12-year-old son Kai and I are a mile and a half into a four-day, 27-mile walk through the Grand Canyon (峡谷) — his first backpacking trip — when he asks, “Are we almost to camp?” Um, no. Camp, at Hermit Creek, is seven miles and nearly 2,500 feet below. That will take us several more hours.
We are here largely because of a birthday note Kai wrote to me two years ago in which he declared, “You used to be a wild 10-year-old like me and now you’re a wild 53-year-old. We can do so many things together! I am excited for when I’m old enough for the Grand Canyon.”
There are, I suppose, dads who could resist that, just as there are fathers who would plan an experience-appropriate trip for their sons. I am neither, so here we are. Never mind that; aside from simply being 12, Kai has done almost nothing to physically prepare for this. Or that I haven’t backpacked for 13 years.
We go down a poorly maintained path off the canyon with twisty trees and twining bushes. Gradually the view broadens, the landscape in Vishnu fascinates Kai greatly. “This place is amazing.” he says. Nightfall in the canyon can be magical. Darkness surrounds us, pressed by cool air. Hearing the sound of a waterfall, we lie down to take in the stars. Twice I suggest we turn in. “Not yet,” Kai says. “This is too unbelievable.”
Wednesday, we travel three miles to Monument Creek, and hike a mile and 1,000 feet down to the Colorado River. The next morning at 7:30 when we march out, I’m optimistic, and Kai sets a quick pace. Friday, we rise before dawn and are the first ones out of camp; for an hour we have the Bright Angel Trail and its soaring (高耸的) scenery to ourselves.
In that birthday card Kai had also written, “Even when you’re 100, you will always be wild,” Nice, If I’m lucky enough to make it there, it looks like I’ll have company.
4. According to the author, why does he go backpacking in the Grand Canyon with Kai?
A. To fulfill the author’s birthday wish.
B. To develop Kai’s strong will.
C. To promote the father-and-son relationship.
D. To satisfy Kai’s desire for the Grand Canyon.
5. What can we know about the author?
A. He is enthusiastic about meeting challenges,
B. He has been engaged in backpacking for years.
C. He favors an experience-appropriate trip for his son.

If you’ re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister — you might just grab the pizza. Your boss — you probably will give up.
Now researchers have made progress in understanding how mammals’ brain encodes social rank and uses this information to shape behaviors — such as whether to fight for the last pizza slice. They discovered that an area of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was responsible for representing social rank in mammals; changes to a mouse’s mPFC affected its dominance behavior. But it was unknown how the mPFC represented this information and which neurons(神经元) were involved in changing dominance behaviour.
In the new study, Professor Kay Tye let groups of four mice share a cage. Some mice became more dominant and others more subordinate. As soon as the mice were paired up, he discovered, the activity of their mPFC neurons could predict — with 90 percent certainty — the rank of their opponent.
“We expected animals might only signal rank when they are in a competition,” says co-researcher Nancy. “But it turns out animals walk around with this representation of social rank all the time.”
When the researchers next asked whether the activity of the mPFC neurons was associated with behaviour, they found something surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviour, such as how fast a mouse moved, and they also could predict — a full 30 seconds before the competition started — which mouse would win the food reward.
The winner was not always the more dominant, but the one engaged in a winning mindset. Just as you might sometimes be in a more competitive mood and be more likely to snatch that pizza slice before your boss, a subordinate mouse might be in a more winning mindset than a more dominant mouse and end up winning.
The areas of the mPFC associated with social rank and winning mindset are next to one another and highly connected. Signals on social rank impact the state of the brain involved in winning mindset. In other words, a subordinate mouse’s confidence and winning mindset may partially decrease when faced with a dominant one.
“This is further evidence to suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with others compared to when we’re alone,” says Tye.

A. Brain activities can influence social rank.
B. Dominant opponents boost winning mindset.
C. Social rank and winning mindset affect behaviour.
D. Animals only exhibit their rank in competition.
11. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Winning mindset establishes dominance.

Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Pinocchio, and more Disney characters all have something in common — gloves. Although there are many surprising facts about Disney’s characters, putting gloves on them is actually a reasonable move.
The short answer as to why so many characters wear gloves is that animation (动画制作) is a difficult process. It takes time and efforts to create the characters you know and love. Animators wanted to make their job easier and faster with a few techniques. One of these techniques was using round edges (边) instead of angles. So this also meant making some parts simple, such as hands, to make the animation process quicker.
Still, in the age of black-and-white cartoons, separating characters’ round-edged hands from their black bodies was hard. Gloves were an easy way to make their hands stand out. In fact, Walt Disney might have been the first to put gloves on his characters. Once animation moved away from black and white, Mickey and his friends kept their white gloves.
Besides keeping the animation simple, Walt Disney told his biographer, Bob Thomas, that the gloves existed for another reason: to make the mouse more like a human. “We didn’t want him to have mouse hands because he was supposed to be more human,” Disney told Thomas in 1957. “So we gave him gloves. Five fingers seemed like too much on such a little figure, so we took away one. That was just one less finger to animate.” All this Disney’s talk makes us want to go back and look at photos of Mickey Mouse.
12. Why were round edges used in animation?
A. They looked more beautiful.
B. They could be copied more easily.
C. They could make the creating job easier.
D. They were more popular with children.
13. What can we know about Mickey Mouse?
A. It is like a human with five fingers.
B. Its hands are different from humans’.
C. Gloves help it stand out among all characters.
D. It wore gloves in the past but it doesn’t nowadays.
14. What does the Disney’s talk make people do?
A. Enjoy Mickey’s beauty.
B. Count Mickey’s fingers.
C. Recall our childhood.
D. Check Mickey’s gloves’ color.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How Disney created his characters.
B. What difference Disney characters have.
C. What makes Disney characters so popular.
D. Why Disney characters wear white gloves.
