【答案】6.A7.B8.D9.A

【分析】

本文是一篇记叙文。

文章主要讲述JayeGardiner和两个朋友组队用讲故事和漫画的方式来教授学生艰涩的科学话题。

6.细节理解题。

根据文章第一段“JayeGardinerlovescomicbooksandshealsolovesscience.（JayeGardiner喜欢漫画书，她也喜欢科学。

）”和第二段“Theydecidedtouseacartoonformatandlighthumortoexplainsciencetostudents.（他们决定以漫画的形式和轻松的幽默向学生解释科学。

）”可知，促使JayeGardiner和她的朋友们创作了JKX漫画是因为他们对漫画的热爱和向学生解释科学的困难。

故选A。

7.主旨大意题。

根据文章第四段“Alotofresearchhassuggestedthatcomicbookscanintroduceavarietyofpeopletosciencesubjects.Comicscanalsomakeinformationmoreaccessible.Text,picturesandstoriescanhelppeopleunderstandscientificideasmoreeasily.（许多研究表明，漫画书可以向不同的人介绍科学知识。

漫画还可以使信息更容易获得。

文字、图片和故事可以帮助人们更容易地理解科学思想）”可知，本段主要介绍了用漫画来介绍科学的优点。

故选B。

8.推理判断题。

根据文章第五段“Gilbertusesaminoacidstogetproteinstocommunicatewitheachother.Proteinsareanessentialpartofalllivingorganisms.Theyformthebasisoflivingcells,muscleandtissues；theyalsodotheworkinsideofcells.（吉尔伯特利用氨基酸使蛋白质相互交流。

蛋白质是所有生物的重要组成部分。

它们构成活细胞、肌肉和组织的基础；它们也在细胞内部工作。

）”可知，作者举例关于《吉尔伯特的故障开关》这本漫画书中的信息，是为了说明漫画如何传达科学信息。

故选D。

9.主旨大意题。

根据文章第一段“JayeGardinerlovescomicbooksandshealsolovesscience.Sensinganopportunity,shedecidedtocombinethetwo.”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍JayeGardiner和两个朋友组队用讲故事和漫画的方式来教授学生晦涩难懂的科学话题。

所以“ComicsareDesignedtoTeachChildrenaboutScience”作为文章的标题最为合适。

故选A。
