25、ge you have just read.(A)Cartoons suit the way we like information to be presented these days:graphicallyand in small amounts.We are used to cartoons and comic strips that take an ironiclook at modem life or provide a bit of escapism.But recently we have seen anincrease in the number of graphic nove

26、ls:booklength comics with a single,continuous narrative.Historically,graphic novels were not popular outside France,Belgium,Japan,and the US.The exception is the worldwide popularity of a youngreporter-detective from Belgium,Tintin.The creation of the Belgian cartoonist Herge,The Adventures of Tinti

27、n firstappeared in a Belgian newspaper in 1929.Each story appeared as a cartoon strip weekby week,but soon after was republished in book form.One of the main attractions forreaders was that they were taken to parts of the world they had never seen andprobably never would:Russia,the Congo,America.Her

28、ge himself only traveledoutside Belgium later in life,but his passion was educating his readers about othercultures and places.Two things set Herge apart as a graphic novelist The first was his technicaldrawing skills:with just a few simple lines he could communicate a particular facialexpression or

29、 movement.The second was the careful research he put into his stories.In The Crab with the Golden Claws.Tintin follows an opium-smuggling ring to NorthAfrica;in King Ottakafs Scepter,he makes an attempt at a military coup in a centralEuropean country.While telling these stories,Herge also steered a

30、fine line betweenserious topics and humor.Tintin had more than his fair share of adventures,but perhaps the greatest is hisjourney to the Moon,told in Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon.Written in1953,sixteen years before the first Moon landing,the stories show a remarkable eyefor technical

31、detail and feeling for the nature of space travel.In the early 1950s,fewcould imagine what it was like to be looking down at our planet from outer space.And that is Herges true gift:to understand what a place was like without ever havingbeen there.56.What can be learned about graphic novels from the

32、 passage?A.The Adventures of Tintin is the world*s first graphic novel.B.Most of them were just popular in several countries.C.They present information in small amounts.D.They mostly involve detective stories.57.Which of the following is an attraction of The Adventures of Tintin for readers?A.The st

35、He had been longing for a trip to the Moon.B.He never had any chance to leave Belgium for travelling.C.He could describe accurately those experiences he never had.D.He devoted himself to education before creating graphic novels.（B）Where is Amelia Earhart?Three theoriesAmelia Earhart,the first woman

36、to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean,wasattempting a round-the-world flight in 1937.She planned to land on the tiny PacificOcean island of Howland.She never arrived.Her fate,and that of her navigator（导 航 员）Fred Noonan,remains one of aviations（航 空 的）greatest unsolved mysteries.Researchers have spen

37、t millions of dollars investigating the case and several bookshave been published that examined different theories.The official US position is that Earhart ran out of fuel and crashed in the PacificOcean.The radio log from aUS Coast Guard ship indicates that she must have beennear Howland when conta

38、ct was lostAnother theory says that Earhart could have crashed on a different island,calledNikumaroro,and died since the island is uninhabited.Yet another theory claims she was captured while on a secret mission to theMarshall Islands in the North Pacific and eventually returned to the US with a new

39、identity.Lost and found?The missing pilotFebruary 18,2011Amelia Earharts dried saliva（唾 液）could help solve the longstanding mystery ofthe aviatofs 1937 disappearance,according to scientists who plan to take samples ofher DNA from her correspondence.A new project aims to create a genetic profile that

40、could be used to test recent claims that a bone found on the South Pacific islandofNikumaroro is Earharf s.Justin Long,a Canadian whose family is partially funding the DNA project,points out that at the moment,anyone who finds parts of bones can claim that they areEarharfs remains.According to Justi

41、n Long,Earhart5 s letters are the only items thatare both proved to be hers and that might contain her DNA.Hair samples are one ofthe best sources of DNA,but no hair samples from Earhart are known.There was,intheory,a sample of Earhart5s hair in the International Womens Air and SpaceMuseum in Clevel

42、and,US.However,a 2009 study revealed that the sample wasactually thread.The remains of Earhart,her navigator Noonan,and their twin-engine plane werenever recovered.But in 2009,a group of researchers found a bone fragment onNikumaroro that they believed might have been from one of Earhart5 s fingers.

43、However,some scientists have suggested the Nikumaroro bone fragment isnt humanat all but may instead belong to a sea turtle that was found nearby.The new Earhart DNA project will be headed by Dongya Yang,a geneticscientist at Simon Fraser University in Canada.Yang will work on four letters Earhartwr

44、ote to her family.Much of Earhart9 s correspondence was done by her secretary butthe assumption is that Earhart must have sealed the envelopes of these personal lettersherself.6O.Why are there so many theories concerning where Amelia Earhart was?A.It is still a mystery.B.She left with some secrets.C

45、.Her flight cost much money.D.She returned with a new identity.61.What could Justin Longs project help to do?A.To search Nikumaroro more thoroughly.B.To confirm if a bone belongs to Amelia Earhart.C.To find out who Amelia Earhart often wrote to.D.To locate Amelia Earharfs remains accurately.62.Which

46、 of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.None of Amelia Earharts DNA has been collected so far.B.Amelia Earhart took delight in writing letters to her family.C.The Nikumaroro bone fragment belonged to Amelia Earhart.D.The hair sample in Clevelands museum was Amelia Earhart5s.（

48、heCentral Processing Unit（CPU）chips that power most of the computers in the world.A CPU is a device for performing billions of operations determined by whateverprogram is running:it fetches some data from memory,performs some operations onthat data and then sends it back to memory;then fetches the n

49、ext bit of data;and so on.Two decades ago someone had an idea for speeding up CPUs.Instead of waiting untilthe program told them which data to fetch next,why not try to predict whats neededand pre-fetch it?That way,the processor would become faster and more efficient.This meant that 一 in a nice comp
