Japanese and American Comic Book Heroes
To some people,the idea of reading comic books seems childish.To others,comics are nothing more than (41)J of their happy childhoods.But for people who love comic books,they can be a(n) (42)G escape from the realities of modern life.Comics are able to (43)K readers to brightly-colored,imaginary worlds where superheroes fight with super-monsters,where good can succeed over bad,and where heroes can save thousands of innocent people from the"bad guys."Comics are published globally,but Japanese and American versions(44)F the market despite the fact-or perhaps because-they differ in some ways.
One difference is the appearance of the heroes.Manga ([日语]漫画) heroes look smaller,younger,and more immature than their all-conquering American ones who have sport muscles and wear themed clothes.Also,manga heroes rarely look Japanese,and the stories are not typically set within a Japanese (45)D.Conversely,American comic heroes,despite their masks,are proudly American and are admired for their (46)C to defend U.S.cities.Importantly,in Japan a manga creator can himself or herself become a national hero,becoming almost as famous as the characters.
Probably the biggest difference is the (47)H.Up until the 1950s,American comic books were read by both children and adults,with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month.The (48)A of TV,however,led to a long-term decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes.In Japan,the (49)E couldn't be greater.There manga sales are still (50)B,reaching as high as 7billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.A survey by the Mainichi newspaper estimates that 42percent of women aged 20to 49read comics.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.

7.My name is Clara.I still remember that chilly December day,sitting in science class.I had finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine.A piece of news caught my eye:NASA (美国宇航局) was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器).Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind,Curiosity.
I couldn't wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached."Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone's mind…"
Five months later,my mom received a phone call,and immediately,a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5,2012,at 10:31pm,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated by the stars,the planets,the sky and the universe.I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She would tell me stories and point out the stars.Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were always there,yet there was so much I didn't know about them.That's what I love so much about space.
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars.My answer is simple because we're curious.We human beings do not just hole up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what's over the hill and beyond the horizon.
66.How did the author get the news about the essay contest?(within 7words)By reading a TIME for Kids magazine./From a TIME for Kids magazine.
67.In which year was the author born according to the passage?(within 2words)In 2000.
68.Why did author have a front-row seat in NASA?(within 10words)Because she won the essay contest held by NASA./Because she named the Mars rover"Curiosity".
69.What does the author remember about the time spent with Grandma?(within 15words)She sat together with grandma listening to her stories about stars./Her grandma told her stories about stars./They sat together talking about stars.

5.The English test will be removed from China's college entrance exam by 2020,according to the Ministry of Education.The national college entrance exam,known as the"Gaokao"has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three decades.The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment.Tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to reduce study pressure and change China's once-in-a-lifetime exam system.
The decision has aroused a heated discussio among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted whether the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student's English skills and help students learn English better.
"As far as I see,the reform doesn't mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it is excluded from the unified college entrance exam,"Yu said."In a way,English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference,while every college and university,even every major,can have different requirements of a student's English skills under a diverse evaluation system."
Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn't need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.
The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.

48.What can we learn from the first paragraph?D
A.English will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.
B.It has been 30years since English became one subject of national college entrance exam.
C.China's once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.
D.The system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.
49.According to the passage,Shanghi educators and parents argue thatC.
A.the new exam and admission system will make no difference
B.English shouldn't be removed from China's college entrance exam
C.the reform may accomplish the very opposite
D.Western educational system does not apply to China
50.What does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?B
A.Students needn't lay a good foundation during the period of high school.
B.Whether students should study English hard may depend on their major.
C.Students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.
D.English must be close to full mark.
51.What's the purpose of the passage?D
A.To advise students not to devote themselves to English.
B.To call on Education Department to remove English from"Gaokao".
C.To support the act of Ministry of Education.

B.Think long and hard about the airline you are going to fly with and the seat you re going to book.
C.It is actually unnecessary to worry about how to make a long flight comfortable.
D.In fact,the biggest problem with people on planes is the psychological factor.
E.Avoid booking a seat beside a window in case you are dizzy.
