Stan Lee lived an extraordinary life without the need for superpowers. He was the creative force behind Marvel Comics, giving life to iconic characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, and Thor. His stories brought new life to the comic book industry, transforming it from a small special interest into a worldwide hit that connected with adults and achieved a success no one had expected before.
Growing up in poverty in Manhattan, Stanley Leiber had found comfort in literature. His love for the written word fueled his ambition to write the Great American Novel. However, his path led him to comic books, where he initially met with despising (轻视) from prominent writers. Little did they know that when he penned his first comic script as “Stan Lee” in 1941, he was putting on his own superhero costume.
His characters were very new and special, mixing normal people’s problems with superheroes’ powers. Reed Richards could stretch beyond limits when facing Doctor Doom, Peter Parker’s life was a mix of teenage worries and Spider-Man’s heroes, and Ben Grimms’ tough appearance as the “Thing” hid a heart full of courage.
Despite his success, Stan Lee encountered obstacles. Key cooperatives like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko felt overlooked, and Marvel faced financial hardships during the 1980s and 1990s. His attempts at television were mostly unsuccessful, but Hollywood eventually embraced his imagination, particularly with the Spider-Man and X-Men series, giving him praise and wealth.
Yet financial success was bittersweet. Stan Lee received no extra money for his creations and had to fight to be recognized and paid fairly. In 2001, he founded POW! Entertainment to gain more control over his work. Legal battles marked his final years as he sought to claim his rightful share of the empire he helped build.
Stan Lee’s legacy extends beyond his stories. He made short appearances in very popular films based on his characters, being a modest figure in the exciting events he had a part in creating. His life turned an ordinary man into a legend, proving that true bravery lies in the power of imagination and creativity.
24. What does the underlined word “hit” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. A physical strike. B. Some landing places.
C. Something very popular. D. A target in a game.
25. What was Stan Lee’s original ambition?
A. To become a famous actor. B. To write the Great American Novel.
C. To direct Hollywood films. D. To be a successful businessman.
26. How did Stan Lee’s characters differ from those that came before him?
A. They focused on magic. B. They only appealed to children.
C. They had no connection to the real world. D. They combined normal humans with superpowers.
27. Which of the following can best describe Stan Lee?
A. Imaginative and innovative. B. Persistent and conservative.
C. Generous and indifferent. D. Clever and self-centered.
C
Will your job be done by a robot in the future? Bank of England economists predict that almost half of all UK jobs are under threat of automation. But could even the respected profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators?
At first glance, teachers might seem to be not easily replaced by robots. Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to copy. They assess pupils’ needs and tailor feedback accordingly. They adapt materials to make them more engaging (吸引人的) and effective.
Nonetheless, some believe the future of education will be technological. In an interview with Business Insider magazine, futurist Thomas Frey predicts that the largest company on the Internet is going to be an education-based company that we haven’t heard of yet.
He thinks that online robot teachers will make education so efficient that students will be able to compress (压缩) an entire undergraduate degree into six months of learning. A robot learns what your personal habits, interests, and reference points are, and it figures out how to teach you in a better way over time.
Whether such incredible speeds will be reached, over the last decade there has been a huge increase in online learning platforms. Companies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free, at their own pace. But there are limitations. Without the face-to-face stimulation of a classroom environment, the vast majority of students fail to complete online courses. How to sustain motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master.
Indeed, Frey admits there is some way to go, “Nobody has fully solved the questions of the future of education.” What do teachers themselves think about this? Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should accept change, even though people will lose their jobs. “Artificial intelligence will destroy jobs — so why not use it for a social good such as learning?” he asked.
28. What does the underlined word “tailor” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Simplify. B. Judge. C. Collect. D. Adjust.
29. What does Thomas Frey predict about education?
A. It will be dominated by robots. B. It will require more classroom time.
C. It will be limited to online learning. D. It will be led by an unknown company.
30 What might be a challenge for online teachers?
A. Sustaining learning engagement. B. Managing students’ behavior.
C. Adapting to new technology. D. Developing new courses.
31. What is Professor Donald Clark’s view on AI in education?
A. It should be avoided. B. It is a threat to teachers.
C. It should be embraced. D. It offers economic benefits.
D
When unethical (不道德的) behavior is criticized, demands are often met with defensiveness and denial. How can we overcome this reaction?
New research by Lauren Howe, an assistant professor at the University of Zurich, identifies a way that criticism can be more effective. A series of experiments involving more than 1,400 participants shows that criticized groups are more likely to take criticism to heart when the messenger not only criticizes the groups, but also shows concern for the issues that the criticized groups themselves face.
When criticizing groups, messengers often address the group by pointing out how the group is causing harm to another group and asking them to change their ways. “What messengers may not realize is that when a person accuses a group of causing harm like this, right away, members of the group may believe that the messenger views their group as immoral and does not care about their outcomes,” Howe explains. “We find in our research that when messages include dual (双重的) concern by expressing concern for the group that is criticized while still accusing the group of causing harm, it reduces this problematic inference, and thus dual concern messages are more effective at encouraging members of a group to agree with the criticism of their own group.”
The research tested the idea in campaigns: Participants read a poster advocating stopping prejudice against a group with whom they personally disagreed. The poster led participants to agree 8.6% more strongly that their disfavored group faced unfair and specific prejudices when the poster conveyed that the advocates also were concerned about the prejudices that many other groups faced.
What the research shows, Howe summarizes, is that criticism works better when it is done with care. She suggests, “When messengers point out harm or wrongdoing, they might consider what challenges the group that they are accusing of harm faces.” Messengers may want to acknowledge these challenges, if appropriate, to signal to their audience that they are not dismissed as immoral. As messengers raise their voices to criticize one group for harming another group, their arguments are more persuasive when they emphasize concern for the criticized group.
32. What does the study by Lauren Howe mainly focus on?
A. The impact of public criticism on individuals.
B. The strategies for making criticism more effective.
C. The effectiveness of public criticism in changing behavior.
D. The importance of reducing defensive reactions to criticism.
33. Why might dual concern messages be useful?
A. They focus on the benefits of changing behavior.
B. They make the criticized group feel more powerful.
C. They highlight the harm caused by the criticized group.
D. They reduce the perceived moral judgment of the messenger.
34. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 4?
A. How the researchers tested their idea. B. What the participants faced in criticism.
C. How criticism helped participants in life. D. Why most participants couldn’t handle criticism.
35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Bitter criticism is much more effective.
B. The harm caused by criticism is unavoidable.
C. Expressing concern can make criticism more persuasive.
D. Messengers should avoid criticizing groups facing challenges.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eddy took his mom’s hand, and she led him into the street outside the family’s little grocery shop in Brussels. When Eddy opened his eyes, he saw the most exciting thing in the world — a shiny new bicycle with chunky (粗实的) black tyres.
The four-year-old insisted on learning to ride right away! With his dad steadying him, Eddy tried to balance while pedaling as fast as he could. He wobbled(摇晃) and fell off several times, but wouldn’t give up. Soon, he could shift his weight to turn sharp corners and pull the brakes gently to avoid obstacles.
Eddy’s dad had been a keen cyclist in his youth, so he often took Eddy to watch local races. One afternoon, they spotted Dad’s old racing teammate, Mark, by the finish line. “Still got that same speed, huh?” Dad said. “I’m hoping to go fully professional next year, “Mark added. Eddy’s eyes lit up. “I want to be a professional too,” he blurted out.
Eddy took a milk delivery job, saving every penny until he could buy his own racing bike. Every evening, he’d ride it around the square, bending low over the handlebars (车把) to cut through the wind.
Just after his sixteenth birthday, Eddy competed in many local races, but he never won a single one. “Maybe try being a PE teacher instead?” Dad suggested. Seeing the look on Eddy’s face, he quickly added, “But if cycling’s what you love, I’ll drive you to every practice, whatever it takes.” But Eddy was determined to keep racing — he felt a talent for it, and he wanted to be the fastest. So he signed up for another one: an 8-lap course through town and fields.
Dad drove him to the starting point of the race. The other riders were all older and taller. “Who’s that skinny boy? He’ll never finish!” some of the other riders laughed. Eyes fixed on the road ahead, Eddy bit his lip, hands tightening around the handlebars.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When the starting gun went off, the other riders rushed forward in a group.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eddy got off his bike, his legs shaky and his body exhausted, yet filled with incredible happiness.

Stan Lee lived an extraordinary life without the need for superpowers. He was the creative force behind Marvel Comics, giving life to iconic characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, and Thor. His stories brought new life to the comic book industry, transforming it from a small special interest into a worldwide hit that connected with adults and achieved a success no one had expected before.
Growing up in poverty in Manhattan, Stanley Leiber had found comfort in literature. His love for the written word fueled his ambition to write the Great American Novel. However, his path led him to comic books, where he initially met with despising (轻视) from prominent writers. Little did they know that when he penned his first comic script as “Stan Lee” in 1941, he was putting on his own superhero costume.
His characters were very new and special, mixing normal people’s problems with superheroes’ powers. Reed Richards could stretch beyond limits when facing Doctor Doom, Peter Parker’s life was a mix of teenage worries and Spider-Man’s heroes, and Ben Grimms’ tough appearance as the “Thing” hid a heart full of courage.
Despite his success, Stan Lee encountered obstacles. Key cooperatives like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko felt overlooked, and Marvel faced financial hardships during the 1980s and 1990s. His attempts at television were mostly unsuccessful, but Hollywood eventually embraced his imagination, particularly with the Spider-Man and X-Men series, giving him praise and wealth.
Yet financial success was bittersweet. Stan Lee received no extra money for his creations and had to fight to be recognized and paid fairly. In 2001, he founded POW! Entertainment to gain more control over his work. Legal battles marked his final years as he sought to claim his rightful share of the empire he helped build.
Stan Lee’s legacy extends beyond his stories. He made short appearances in very popular films based on his characters being a modest figure in the exciting events he had a part in creating. His life turned an ordinary man into a legend, proving that true bravery lies in the power of imagination and creativity.
24. What does the underlined word “hit” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. A physical strike. B. Some landing places.
C. Something very popular. D. A target in a game.
25. What was Stan Lee’s original ambition?
A. To become a famous actor. B. To write the Great American Novel.
C. To direct Hollywood films. D. To be a successful businessman.
26. How did Stan Lee’s characters differ from those that came before him?
A. They focused on magic. B. They only appealed to children.
C. They had no connection to the real world. D. They combined normal humans with superpowers.
27. Which of the following can best describe Stan Lee?
A. Imaginative and innovative. B. Persistent and conservative.
C. Generous and indifferent. D. Clever and self-centered.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】

Will your job be done by a robot in the future? Bank of England economists predict that almost half of all UK jobs are under threat of automation. But could even the respected profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators?
At first glance, teachers might seem to be not easily replaced by robots. Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to copy. They assess pupils’ needs and tailor feedback accordingly. They adapt materials to make them more engaging (吸引人的) and effective.
Nonetheless, some believe the future of education will be technological. In an interview with Business Insider magazine, futurist Thomas Frey predicts that the largest company on the Internet is going to be an education-based company that we haven’t heard of yet.
He thinks that online robot teachers will make education so efficient that students will be able to compress (压缩) an entire undergraduate degree into six months of learning. A robot learns what your personal habits, interests, and reference points are, and it figures out how to teach you in a better way over time.
Whether such incredible speeds will be reached, over the last decade there has been a huge increase in online learning platforms. Companies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free, at their own pace. But there are limitations. Without the face-to-face stimulation of a classroom environment, the vast majority of students fail to complete online courses. How to sustain motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master.
Indeed, Frey admits there is some way to go, “Nobody has fully solved the questions of the future of education.” What do teachers themselves think about this? Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should accept change, even though people will lose their jobs. “Artificial intelligence will destroy jobs — so why not use it for a social good such as learning?” he asked.
28. What does the underlined word “tailor” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Simplify. B. Judge. C. Collect. D. Adjust.
29. What does Thomas Frey predict about education?
A. It will be dominated by robots. B. It will require more classroom time.
C. It will be limited to online learning. D. It will be led by an unknown company.
30. What might be a challenge for online teachers?
A. Sustaining learning engagement. B. Managing students’ behavior.
C. Adapting to new technology. D. Developing new courses.
31. What is Professor Donald Clark’s view on AI in education?
A. It should be avoided. B. It is a threat to teachers.
C. It should be embraced. D. It offers economic benefits.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨未来机器人是否会取代人类工作,重点围绕教育领域的自动化趋势、预测及挑战展开。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to copy. They assess pupils’needs and tailor feedback accordingly. (教师运用一系列机器难以复制的软技能。他们评估学生的需求,并据此tailor反馈。)”可知,教师会先了解学生需求,再针对性调整反馈内容,因此“tailor”意为“调整”,与“Adjust”同义。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“futurist Thomas Frey predicts that the largest company on the Internet is going to be an education-based company that we haven’t heard of yet. (未来学家托马斯·弗雷预测,互联网上最大的公司将是一家我们尚未听说过的教育类公司。)”可知,托马斯·弗雷预测教育领域将由一家未知的公司引领。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Without the face-to-face stimulation of a classroom environment, the vast majority of students fail to complete online courses. How to sustain motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master. (没有课堂环境的面对面激励,绝大多数学生无法完成在线课程。如何维持学习动力是在线教师需要掌握的又一项技能。)”可知,在线教师面临的挑战是维持学生的学习参与度。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should accept change, even though people will lose their jobs. “Artificial intelligence will destroy jobs — so why not use it for a social good such as learning?” he asked. (英国德比大学的唐纳德·克拉克教授认为,即使有人会失业,我们也应该接受变化。“人工智能会摧毁工作岗位——那么为什么不把它用于学习这样的社会公益呢?”他问道。)”可知,唐纳德·克拉克教授认为应该拥抱人工智能在教育中的应用。故选C项。
D
When unethical (不道德的) behavior is criticized, demands are often met with defensiveness and denial. How can we overcome this reaction?
New research by Lauren Howe, an assistant professor at the University of Zurich, identifies a way that criticism can be more effective. A series of experiments involving more than 1,400 participants shows that criticized groups are more likely to take criticism to heart when the messenger not only criticizes the groups, but also shows concern for the issues that the criticized groups themselves face.
When criticizing groups, messengers often address the group by pointing out how the group is causing harm to another group and asking them to change their ways. “What messengers may not realize is that when a person accuses a group of causing harm like this, right away, members of the group may believe that the messenger views their group as immoral and does not care about their outcomes,” Howe explains. “We find in our research that when messages include dual (双重的) concern by expressing concern for the group that is criticized while still accusing the group of causing harm, it reduces this problematic inference, and thus dual concern messages are more effective at encouraging members of a group to agree with the criticism of their own group.”
The research tested the idea in campaigns: Participants read a poster advocating stopping prejudice against a group with whom they personally disagreed. The poster led participants to agree 8.6% more strongly that their disfavored group faced unfair and specific prejudices when the poster conveyed that the advocates also were concerned about the prejudices that many other groups faced.
What the research shows, Howe summarizes, is that criticism works better when it is done with care. She suggests, “When messengers point out harm or wrongdoing, they might consider what challenges the group that they are accusing of harm faces.” Messengers may want to acknowledge these challenges, if appropriate, to signal to their audience that they are not dismissed as immoral. As messengers raise their voices to criticize one group for harming another group, their arguments are more persuasive when they emphasize concern for the criticized group.
32. What does the study by Lauren Howe mainly focus on?
A. The impact of public criticism on individuals.
B. The strategies for making criticism more effective.
C. The effectiveness of public criticism in changing behavior.
D. The importance of reducing defensive reactions to criticism.
33. Why might dual concern messages be useful?
A. They focus on the benefits of changing behavior.
B. They make the criticized group feel more powerful.
C. They highlight the harm caused by the criticized group.
D. They reduce the perceived moral judgment of the messenger.
34. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 4?
A. How the researchers tested their idea. B. What the participants faced in criticism.
C. How criticism helped participants in life. D. Why most participants couldn’t handle criticism.
35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Bitter criticism is much more effective.
B. The harm caused by criticism is unavoidable.
C. Expressing concern can make criticism more persuasive.
D. Messengers should avoid criticizing groups facing challenges.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。劳伦・豪的研究表明,批评时表达对被批评群体的关切,可减少其防御反应,让批评更有效。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“New research by Lauren Howe, an assistant professor at the University of Zurich, identifies a way that criticism can be more effective.(苏黎世大学助理教授劳伦・豪的一项新研究发现了一种能让批评更有效的方法)”可知,劳伦・豪的研究核心是找到让批评更有效的策略。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“We find in our research that when messages include dual (双重的) concern by expressing concern for the group that is criticized while still accusing the group of causing harm, it reduces this problematic inference, and thus dual concern messages are more effective at encouraging members of a group to agree with the criticism of their own group.(我们在研究中发现,当信息包含双重关注时,即对被批评的群体表示关注,同时仍指责该群体造成伤害,这减少了这种有问题的推断,因此双重关注信息更有效地鼓励群体成员同意对自己群体的批评)”,且前文提到“this problematic inference”指“members of the group may believe that the messenger views their group as immoral(被批评群体的成员可能会认为传达者视他们的群体为不道德的)”。由此可知,双重关注信息的作用是减少被批评群体对传达者“道德评判”的感知。故选D项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The research tested the idea in campaigns: Participants read a poster advocating stopping prejudice against a group with whom they personally disagreed.(该研究在活动中测试了这一观点:参与者阅读了一张倡导停止对一个他们个人不认同的群体抱有偏见的海报)”及后文对实验过程和结果的描述可知,该段核心是介绍研究人员如何通过实验验证“双重关注让批评更有效”这一观点。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As messengers raise their voices to criticize one group for harming another group, their arguments are more persuasive when they emphasize concern for the criticized group.(当传达者发声批评一个群体伤害另一个群体时,当他们强调对被批评群体的关切时,他们的论点会更有说服力)”可推知,作者通过引用豪的研究结论暗示,表达关切能让批评更具说服力。故选C项。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eddy took his mom’s hand, and she led him into the street outside the family’s little grocery shop in Brussels. When Eddy opened his eyes, he saw the most exciting thing in the world — a shiny new bicycle with chunky (粗实的) black tyres.
The four-year-old insisted on learning to ride right away! With his dad steadying him, Eddy tried to balance while pedaling as fast as he could. He wobbled(摇晃) and fell off several times, but wouldn’t give up. Soon, he could shift his weight to turn sharp corners and pull the brakes gently to avoid obstacles.
Eddy’s dad had been a keen cyclist in his youth, so he often took Eddy to watch local races. One afternoon, they spotted Dad’s old racing teammate, Mark, by the finish line. “Still got that same speed, huh?” Dad said. “I’m hoping to go fully professional next year, “Mark added. Eddy’s eyes lit up. “I want to be a professional too,” he blurted out.
Eddy took a milk delivery job, saving every penny until he could buy his own racing bike. Every evening, he’d ride it around the square, bending low over the handlebars (车把) to cut through the wind.
Just after his sixteenth birthday, Eddy competed in many local races, but he never won a single one. “Maybe try being a PE teacher instead?” Dad suggested. Seeing the look on Eddy’s face, he quickly added, “But if cycling’s what you love, I’ll drive you to every practice, whatever it takes.” But Eddy was determined to keep racing — he felt a talent for it, and he wanted to be the fastest. So he signed up for another one: an 8-lap course through town and fields.
Dad drove him to the starting point of the race. The other riders were all older and taller. “Who’s that skinny boy? He’ll never finish!” some of the other riders laughed. Eyes fixed on the road ahead, Eddy bit his lip, hands tightening around the handlebars.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When the starting gun went off, the other riders rushed forward in a group.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eddy got off his bike, his legs shaky and his body exhausted, yet filled with incredible happiness.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
When the starting gun went off, the other riders rushed forward in a group. Eddy was immediately left behind, the older cyclists’ mocking words echoing in his mind. For a moment, panic gripped him. But then he remembered all those evenings of practice, his dad’s unconditional support, and the dream that had kept him going. He settled into a steady pace, leaning low over the handlebars as he always did. Through the town and into the fields, he began to gain ground. On the final lap, seeing a gap open between the leading riders, he pushed with all his might to cross the finish line.
Eddy got off his bike, his legs shaky and his body exhausted, yet filled with incredible happiness. Though he hadn’t won, he’d finished a respectable third. An even greater reward came when the same riders who’d laughed at him now nodded in respect. His dad rushed over, eyes shining with pride. “You showed them what you’re made of, son! Mark was here — he saw your finish.” In that moment, Eddy knew this was just the beginning. He hadn’t just completed the race; he had proven that with enough determination, even the biggest dreams were within reach.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了4岁的Eddy收到新自行车,在父亲指导下学会骑行,并因观看比赛萌生职业梦想。16岁通过送牛奶攒钱购买赛车,坚持训练但屡次比赛失利。参加8圈城镇田野赛,面对嘲笑和强敌,展现惊人耐力与策略。从落后到反超,最终取得较好的成绩,证明自己的天赋与决心。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当发令枪响起时,其他骑手成群冲向前方。”并结合第二段首句内容可知,第一段可描写比赛初期Eddy的劣势与对手的轻视。Eddy调整节奏、利用弯道超车的策略,通过父亲教导的技巧实现逆转。
②由第二段首句内容“Eddy下车时双腿发抖,身体疲惫,却充满难以置信的喜悦。”可知,第二段可描写Eddy获得较好的成绩,证明了自己的天赋和决心。
2.续写线索:落后——想起父亲的话——调整——逆转——成功——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①落后:be left behind/fall behind
②想起:remember/recall
③完成:finish/complete/accomplish
情绪类
①恐慌:panic/scare/fright
②自豪地:with pride/proudly
【点睛】[高分句型1]On the final lap, seeing a gap open between the leading riders, he pushed with all his might to cross the finish line. (由非谓语动词现在分词作状语)
[高分句型2]Though he hadn’t won, he’d finished a respectable third.(由连词though引导让步状语从句)
