You find them in comic books, on the TV and the big screen.In a survey of fans by the sci-fi and fantasy website, SFX.co.uk, Batman, 70 years old this year, was voted Britains favorite superhero.Unlike many crime-fighting superheroes Batman has no special powers. He cant fly like Superman or shoot a sticky web like Spider-Man.Bruce Wayne is born to a wealthy Gotham City business family. However, when his parents are murdered his life changes completely.Wayne feels anger at their deaths and guilty that he did not prevent them. He travels around the world learning how to fight. Upon returning to Gotham, he creates a disguise to enable him to fight crime without being recognized.A childhood fear of bats leads him to choose to dress as one. His idea is that through the bat persona, he can prove to himself that he has overcome his childhood fears.Wayne is the CEO of the company he inherits from his father. He seems to live the lifestyle of a millionaire playboy. But this is a ruse (计策). He works hard at the image to allow himself the freedom he needs to do his work as a crime fighter. “Bruce Wayne, playboy” is the disguise; Batman is the real person.“Wayne is not a born superhero. Instead, he is a real, complex person,”said Dace Golder, editor of the website. He is the most realistic of all the superheroes. I am particularly interested in the emotional process by which a boy becomes a hero. His superhero qualities come from within.”56. What is the article mainly about? A. What makes a superhero.B.

He actually lives the lifestyle of a millionaire playboyBFor centuries, in the countries of South and Southeast Asia, the elephant has been an important part of the culture, economy and religion. And nowhere more so than in ThailandUnlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated（驯化）. The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers，and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background. To the early Western visitors, the countrys romantic name was “Land of the White Elephant”Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western part. And while the elephants problems began many years ago, now it has a very low national advantage. How does the national symbol turn into ignored animals? It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais themselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailands expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the last century, there may well have been as many as 100,000 national elephants in the country. In the north of Thailand alone, it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen. This was at a time when 90 percent of Thailand was still forest-a habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people. Nothing ploughs through thick forest better than lots of sure-footed elephants.By 1950 the elephant population had dropped, but still to the number of 13, 397. However, today there-are probably no more than 3,800, with another l,350 wandering free in the national parks. But now, Thailands forest covers only 20 percent of the land. This deforestation（采伐森林） is the central point of the elephants difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, the elephants role as a beast of Burden decreased. k.Com61What can we know about African elephants from the passage?AIt is hard to domesticate them B It is easy to domesticate themCThey are living a better life than Asian elephantsDTheir fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants62Thailand was once called “Land of the White Elephant” because_Athis name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors.Bwhite elephant is rarely seen and thus very specialCwhite elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authorityDwhite elephant was a national symbol until the 1920s63Why is the Thai elephant “out of work”, according to the author?ABecause there are too many elephants but too few jobsBBecause the elephants are no longer useful to their ownersCBecause the government pays little attention to the problemDBecause the elephants cant do labor work any longer64Which of the following statements is TRUE about the elephant population at various times?AThere were 100,000 domesticated elephants at the turn of the last centuryB20,000 elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the centuryCToday the elephant population is estimated at 5,150DBy 1950 the elephant population in Thailand has been quite small65The passage is most probably from_Aa travel magazine B a research reportCa history book Dan official announcementCTo some, its a dream job-eating delicious meals for free and then writing about themBut for some food critics, their eyes arent the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast. Karen Fernau, a food writer for The Arisona Republic, said when she first started her job she began to gain weight“I always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day she saysNine years later, keeping her weight steady and her health intact （完好无损的）is a daily battleIf she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal, she usually eats fruits or salads throughout the dayNow she is always keeping track of whats in the food she eats and she says most people dont even look at or consider itAt one tasting task alone, she says, upward of l,000 calories is often added to her dayThats about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adultBut even though shes thought of a special eating method, Fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle. And food editors, writers and critics across the country couldnt agree more“When Im at home or not eating for work, its healthy food to the extreme, says Phil Vettel, whos been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19 yearsVettel, who eats dinner at four restaurants each week, says unlike most professions, he has no right to chooseIf Im going out to eat, I cant choose the healthiest thing on the menu, I have to eat when theyre bringing me While Vettel exercises when he can, Joe Yonan, a food editor at The Washington Post, has strengthened his exercise habits since he started the job two years agoYonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and immediately hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his body training three to five times a weekStill, its a struggle that many Americans might envyAfter all, its one thing to get your calories from lobster tails or a delicate chocolate cookie and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers66What does the underlined sentence mean in Para l?AThe food critics are always impressed by the delicious food in the restaurantBThe food critics are shocked to learn they have to have one more feastCThe food critics eat delicious food, which also tends to result in gaining weight DThere is a wide variety of choices for the food critics to choose from67What can we learn about the job of being a food critic?AOnce they become food critics, they tend to stay in the jobBThey only work for local magazines and newspapersC They enjoy free and delicious dishes and make comments on themDTheir excellent sense of taste makes them qualified for the job 68What is mentioned to be a method that food writers use to keep fit?ANot eating anything except for the free mealsBWriting down everything they put into their mouthCChoosing only the healthy food on the menuDHiring a personal trainer for special exercise instructions 69What can we infer from the last paragraph?ANo matter whether the food is expensive or not, the gaining of calories is the sameBAmericans envy those food critics since they enjoy delicate and tasty food CThe calories that lobster tails and chocolate cookies contain are less harmfulDEverybody should take the calories in their food carefully70Whats the main idea of the passage?AA job offering free meals may not be as desirable as it sounds to beBDishes in the restaurant usually contain too many caloriesCFood writers work hard to maintain their health and weightDEating fruits and vegetables every day is the best way to lose weightDMalaria, t
