D.characters答案：CBDC解析：1.细节理解题。从文章第三段“NamessuchasSnoopy,WoodstockandGarfieldarewellknownindozensofcountries.”，而Peanuts只是一本漫画书在书名，可知答案是C。2.推理判断题。本题要求我们理解初期的漫画功能，从第一段第一句话“…artistshaveusedcartoonstocriticizebadrulersorlandowners.”中可以推断出B是正确的选项。3.细节理解题。从最后二段的内容的“First,youmustthinkofagoodplot…”,“Moreover,thelanguagemustberealisticandsimple…”,“Furthermore,thecharactersinyourstorymustbecleartoreaders…”我们可以得到答案。4.词义猜测题。从上下文，特别是下文的“Itshouldbefunny,excitingorinterestinginsomeway.”，可以推断出C是故事情节的意思。37.ScientistsareuncoveringthesecretsoftwoportcitieslostunderthewatersoftheMediterraneanSea,aresearchersaidyesterday.
