A career in comics (漫画) is a dream for many talented, creative artists. It’s an opportunity to express one’s imagination through powerful stories. Traditionally, it was difficult, and sometimes expensive, to make it in the comic world. However, webtoons, comic platforms for viewing on the web and mobile devices, are changing the situation for independent artists. Artists can gain a following on webtoons platforms without having to depend on large publishing agents (代理商). It’s a fantastic opportunity for comic book lovers to find exciting new stories.
WEBTOON is the largest and most well-known webtoons platform, and it offers creators the chance to gain deals with famous agents and publishers. Some creators who got their start on WEBTOON have seen their stories adapted (改编) for TV series or movies. American Netflix has published two live-action adaptations of webtoons. WEBTOON has also worked with brand-name comics. For example, DC Comics, one of America’s oldest and largest comic book producers, produced a comic book series Batman: Wayne Family Adventures with WEBTOON. The popular DC series got more than 76 million views on WEBTOON.
In addition to all that, webtoons have helped independent artists and writers make it in the comic world. Azumi was a webtoons follower, who even won a webtoons competition, but he had no means to continue comic book writing full-time. In 2021, a WEBTOON producer found his great work and employed him to write. This opportunity allowed Azumi to give up his job and focus on his art. Azumi explains, “Many groups and stories that have not been shown in traditional publishing can have a voice and space on WEBTOON.”
“WEBTOON creators are some of the most talented and creative people the history of comics. In a time when comics have never been more popular, we’re proud of the growing Creator Economy and the ecosystem we’ve built to celebrate and support WEBTOON creators,” said CEO, Ken Kim.
4. What can we learn about webtoons from the first paragraph
A. They push artists to attract mobile viewers.
B. They enable artists to show their works easily.
C. They will take the place of traditional publishing.
D. They encourage users to recommend creative artists.
5. What does the author suggest by mentioning Netflix and DC Comics in Paragraph 2
A. WEBTOON is competing with big agents.
B. Creators are full of curiosity about adapted works.
C. WEBTOON achieves development through partnerships.
D. Creators hope to publish their works on different platforms.
6. What enabled Azumi to work as a comic book writer
A. His familiarity with webtoons.
B. WEBTOON’s recognition of his talent.
C. His excellent performance in a competition.
D. WEBTOON’s close contact with its followers.
7. Which word best describes Ken Kim’s attitude to WEBTOON’s work
A. Surprised B. Worried C. Unclear D. Satisfied
C
There are few things more satisfying and heartwarming than a baby’s first words. But long before babies start saying “mama” and “dada”, they’re able to have back-and-forth “conversations” with parents and caregivers. Do babies exposed to (暴露于) lots of language show any differences in brain structure compared to those who hear fewer words Researchers are curious about the answer. Professor John Spencer of the University of East Anglia carried out a study with his colleagues.
Researchers had young children and babies wear recording devices over three days allowing them to hear everything that the babies heard. Afterwards, they got their brain imaging. Myelin is something that plays a role in the nervous system (神经系统), allowing the brain to send messages faster and more efficiently. The results showed that little children aged 30 months and up, who were exposed to more adult speech, had more myelin in language-processing brain areas. This suggested an optimistic connection between brain development and exposure to language. However, the study also found a surprising thing. Babies around six months old, who heard more speech, had less myelin in those areas. But that doesn’t mean that speaking to babies affects brain development, Spencer said.
What caused that Spencer suggested at six months, baby brains tended to focus on basic growth related to information transmission (传输), whereas at 30 months, brain development related more to connections and structure. “When you’re over six months old, more input is good.” Spencer suggested. “At that point, your brain is growing quickly, so the input comes in and is received to prepare for brain development of that stage.”
Talking with little children offers so many benefits. But it can feel uncomfortable for parents to try and have a speech partner who is too little. You can start by speaking to babies. For example, reading to them or telling them the steps of a bottle preparation in normal adult speech can give little children early language exposure. Moreover, if a baby isn’t speaking yet, parents can put their movements and sounds into the conversation. The most important thing is to give babies a chance to talk.
8. What did John Spencer want to find out through his study
A. How babies learn to communicate with adults.
B. How children’s language develops over time.
C. The differences between baby words and adult speech.
D. The influence of language contact on babies’ brain development.
9. What does the underlined word “optimistic” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Positive B. Weak C. Simple D. Negative
10. What may lead to the differences in children’s brain imaging according to Spencer
A. The separate amount of information input.
B. The changing focus of their brain growth.
C. The lifestyles formed in different environments.
D. The relationships between parents and children.
11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A. The suggestions for talking with babies.
B. The benefits of playing with little children.
C. The difficulty of encouraging babies to speak.
D. The importance of early language exposure for babies.
D
Using dozens of cameras set up throughout Sweden’s big forests, weeks-long live broadcasts (电视节目) of deer and other wild animals have caught Swedish audiences’ hearts. As three deer nervously come to a lake on screen, comments on the live TV program flood in. “Go on!”; “Jump in!”; “They’re beautiful!” The program Den stora lgvandringen has attracted a large community that watches and comments on the animals’ every move.
Den stora lgvandringen is another example of the so-called “slow TV”, where things are just left to happen at their own pace (节奏). Broadcast for a few weeks each spring on TV and online, the video is recorded in real time from a control room lined with screens. Teams work day and night to offer different viewpoints from 30 cameras, some of which can be controlled from a distance. “We can’t decide what happens. We don’t want everything to be perfect. I mean that this is nature and anything can happen. And we really want to show what it is like,” producer Johan Erhag said. “On all the social media, most things are very stressful. There’s a lot of music in programs. There’s a lot of speaking. But this program is the totally opposite way.”
A hunter in his spare time, Persson said he enjoys the slow and natural pace of the show. “It’s kind of calming and also interesting. It’s basically wind blowing and you are waiting for something hopefully to show up. You might think that a day spent waiting would be a day lost but it’s not. Instead, it could be an activity that is quite healthy for more people,” Persson said.
“After watching the program, I find there are many things to look at and feel about nature,” Anders Lindberg, a columnist said. “The whole idea of sitting and watching nothing happening for hours in nature is wonderful. We can practice meditation (冥想), which ] think for many people is something they lack in big cities. Nature could be a powerful tool used to bridge the gap between the mind and the body, making us feel close to the world around us.”
12. What is special about Den stora lgvandringen
A. It features animals’ fun activities.
B It follows wild animals’ life in a natural way.
C. It records animal experiments in natural settings.
D. It uses digital sound effects to impress the viewers.
13. What does Persson say about the program
A. It teaches him to protect animals.
B. It gives him a sense of achievement.
C. It brings him pleasure and relaxation.
D. It causes him to pay attention to health.
14. How can the program benefit people according to Anders Lindberg
A. By showing humans’ role in wildlife care.
B. By raising their interest in outdoor activities.
C. By speeding up local tourism development.
D. By encouraging a deeper connection with nature.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sweden calls for wildlife protection.
B. A realistic nature TV show attracts attention.
C. The beauty of Swedish forests comes into sight.
D. Directors show their creativity in a slow TV program.

A career in comics (漫画) is a dream for many talented, creative artists. It’s an opportunity to express one’s imagination through powerful stories. Traditionally, it was difficult, and sometimes expensive, to make it in the comic world. However, webtoons, comic platforms for viewing on the web and mobile devices, are changing the situation for independent artists. Artists can gain a following on webtoons platforms without having to depend on large publishing agents (代理商). It’s a fantastic opportunity for comic book lovers to find exciting new stories.
WEBTOON is the largest and most well-known webtoons platform, and it offers creators the chance to gain deals with famous agents and publishers. Some creators who got their start on WEBTOON have seen their stories adapted (改编) for TV series or movies. American Netflix has published two live-action adaptations of webtoons. WEBTOON has also worked with brand-name comics. For example, DC Comics, one of America’s oldest and largest comic book producers, produced a comic book series Batman: Wayne Family Adventures with WEBTOON. The popular DC series got more than 76 million views on WEBTOON.
In addition to all that, webtoons have helped independent artists and writers make it in the comic world. Azumi was a webtoons follower, who even won a webtoons competition, but he had no means to continue comic book writing full-time. In 2021, a WEBTOON producer found his great work and employed him to write. This opportunity allowed Azumi to give up his job and focus on his art. Azumi explains, “Many groups and stories that have not been shown in traditional publishing can have a voice and space on WEBTOON.”
“WEBTOON creators are some of the most talented and creative people the history of comics. In a time when comics have never been more popular, we’re proud of the growing Creator Economy and the ecosystem we’ve built to celebrate and support WEBTOON creators,” said CEO, Ken Kim.

There are few things more satisfying and heartwarming than a baby’s first words. But long before babies start saying “mama” and “dada”, they’re able to have back-and-forth “conversations” with parents and caregivers. Do babies exposed to (暴露于) lots of language show any differences in brain structure compared to those who hear fewer words Researchers are curious about the answer. Professor John Spencer of the University of East Anglia carried out a study with his colleagues.
Researchers had young children and babies wear recording devices over three days, allowing them to hear everything that the babies heard. Afterwards, they got their brain imaging. Myelin is something that plays a role in the nervous system (神经系统), allowing the brain to send messages faster and more efficiently. The results showed that little children aged 30 months and up, who were exposed to more adult speech, had more myelin in language-processing brain areas. This suggested an optimistic connection between brain development and exposure to language. However, the study also found a surprising thing. Babies around six months old, who heard more speech, had less myelin in those areas. But that doesn’t mean that speaking to babies affects brain development, Spencer said.
What caused that Spencer suggested at six months, baby brains tended to focus on basic growth related to information transmission (传输), whereas at 30 months, brain development related more to connections and structure. “When you’re over six months old, more input is good.” Spencer suggested. “At that point, your brain is growing quickly, so the input comes in and is received to prepare for brain development of that stage.”
Talking with little children offers so many benefits. But it can feel uncomfortable for parents to try and have a speech partner who is too little. You can start by speaking to babies. For example, reading to them or telling them the steps of a bottle preparation in normal adult speech can give little children early language exposure. Moreover, if a baby isn’t speaking yet, parents can put their movements and sounds into the conversation. The most important thing is to give babies a chance to talk.
8. What did John Spencer want to find out through his study
A. How babies learn to communicate with adults.
B. How children’s language develops over time.
C. The differences between baby words and adult speech.
D. The influence of language contact on babies’ brain development.
9. What does the underlined word “optimistic” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Positive B. Weak C. Simple D. Negative
10. What may lead to the differences in children’s brain imaging according to Spencer
A. The separate amount of information input.
B. The changing focus of their brain growth.
C. The lifestyles formed in different environments.
D. The relationships between parents and children.
11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A. The suggestions for talking with babies.
B. The benefits of playing with little children.
C. The difficulty of encouraging babies to speak.
D. The importance of early language exposure for babies.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明婴儿大脑的语言处理区域在30个月大时，暴露于更多成人语言的婴儿有更多的髓磷脂，这表明大脑发育与语言环境之间存在正相关关系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Do babies exposed to (暴露于) lots of language show any differences in brain structure compared to those who hear fewer words Researchers are curious about the answer. Professor John Spencer of the University of East Anglia carried out a study with his colleagues. (接触大量语言的婴儿与听到较少语言的婴儿相比，他们的大脑结构有什么不同吗？研究人员对这个问题的答案很好奇。东安格利亚大学的John Spencer教授和他的同事进行了一项研究。)”可知，John Spencer希望通过他的研究发现接触大量语言的婴儿与听到较少语言的婴儿相比，他们的大脑结构是否有什么不同，也就是说他们想发现语言接触对婴儿大脑发育的影响。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“Myelin is something that plays a role in the nervous system (神经系统), allowing the brain to send messages faster and more efficiently. The results showed that little children aged 30 months and up, who were exposed to more adult speech, had more myelin in language-processing brain areas.(髓磷脂在神经系统中起着重要作用，它能让大脑更快、更有效地发送信息。结果显示，30个月及以上的小孩，在接触更多成人语言的情况下，大脑中语言处理区域的髓磷脂含量更高。)”可判断，这表明大脑发育和语言接触之间的联系是“积极的”。选项A“Positive (积极的)”；选项B“Weak (虚弱的)”；选项C“Simple (简单的)”；选项D“Negative (消极的)”。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“What caused that Spencer suggested at six months, baby brains tended to focus on basic growth related to information transmission (传输), whereas at 30 months, brain development related more to connections and structure. “When you’re over six months old, more input is good.” Spencer suggested. “At that point, your brain is growing quickly, so the input comes in and is received to prepare for brain development of that stage.”(是什么造成的呢？Spencer认为，在6个月大的时候，婴儿的大脑倾向于关注与信息传递相关的基本发育，而在30个月大的时候，大脑发育更多地与连接和结构有关。“当你超过六个月大的时候，更多的投入是有益的。” Spencer说。“此时，你的大脑正在快速发育，所以输入和接收是为那个阶段的大脑发育做准备。”)”可知，Spencer认为造成儿童大脑成像的差异是源自于大脑发育重点的变化。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Talking with little children offers so many benefits. But it can feel uncomfortable for parents to try and have a speech partner who is too little. You can start by speaking to babies.

Moreover, if a baby isn’t speaking yet, parents can put their movements and sounds into the conversation. The most important thing is to give babies a chance to talk.(和小孩子交谈有很多好处。但对于父母来说，找一个太小的说话伙伴会让他们感到不舒服。你可以从和婴儿说话开始。例如，用正常的成人语言给他们朗读或告诉他们准备奶瓶的步骤可以让孩子早期接触语言。此外，如果宝宝还不会说话，父母可以在对话中加入他们的动作和声音。最重要的是给宝宝说话的机会。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述的是和小孩子交谈有很多好处，并就如何和小孩交谈给出自己的建议。故选A。

Using dozens of cameras set up throughout Sweden’s big forests, weeks-long live broadcasts (电视节目) of deer and other wild animals have caught Swedish audiences’ hearts. As three deer nervously come to a lake on screen, comments on the live TV program flood in. “Go on!”; “Jump in!”; “They’re beautiful!” The program Den stora lgvandringen has attracted a large community that watches and comments on the animals’ every move.
Den stora lgvandringen is another example of the so-called “slow TV”, where things are just left to happen at their own pace (节奏). Broadcast for a few weeks each spring on TV and online, the video is recorded in real time from a control room lined with screens. Teams work day and night to offer different viewpoints from 30 cameras, some of which can be controlled from a distance. “We can’t decide what happens. We don’t want everything to be perfect. I mean that this is nature and anything can happen. And we really want to show what it is like,” producer Johan Erhag said. “On all the social media, most things are very stressful. There’s a lot of music in programs. There’s a lot of speaking. But this program is the totally opposite way.”
A hunter in his spare time, Persson said he enjoys the slow and natural pace of the show. “It’s kind of calming and also interesting. It’s basically wind blowing and you are waiting for something hopefully to show up. You might think that a day spent waiting would be a day lost but it’s not. Instead, it could be an activity that is quite healthy for more people,” Persson said.
“After watching the program, I find there are many things to look at and feel about nature,” Anders Lindberg, a columnist said. “The whole idea of sitting and watching nothing happening for hours in nature is wonderful. We can practice meditation (冥想), which ] think for many people is something they lack in big cities. Nature could be a powerful tool used to bridge the gap between the mind and the body, making us feel close to the world around us.”
12. What is special about Den stora lgvandringen
A. It features animals’ fun activities.
B. It follows wild animals’ life in a natural way.
C. It records animal experiments in natural settings.
D. It uses digital sound effects to impress the viewers.
13. What does Persson say about the program
A. It teaches him to protect animals.
B. It gives him a sense of achievement.
C. It brings him pleasure and relaxation.
D. It causes him to pay attention to health.
14 How can the program benefit people according to Anders Lindberg
A. By showing humans’ role in wildlife care.
B. By raising their interest in outdoor activities.
C. By speeding up local tourism development.
D. By encouraging a deeper connection with nature.

【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这也是一个更好地享受生活方式。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格后面的名词way是可数名词单数，这里表示泛指，“一个”的意思，第一个音素是辅音音素，所以用a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：关于茶的发现的故事取决于你问的人，但我们知道中国人从5000年前的神农氏开始就一直在喝茶。分析句子结构和意思可知，____2____ are about the discovery of tea是定语从句，先行词是Stories，在从句中做主语，指物。故填which/that。
【38题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：通常，茶被认为是药用的，是日常生活的中心，因此中国的一句古老的谚语将茶与柴米油盐酱醋一起列为每天早上要收集的七种重要东西。分析句子结构和意思可知，句子主语tea和谓语动词believe是被动关系，这句话描述的是现在的事实，所以谓语用一般现在时的被动语态结构，主语是tea，be动词用is。故填is believed。

考查形容词。句意：见第3题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词，修饰后面的名词life，意为“日常的”。故填daily。
【40题详解】
