21、As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains（窗帘）seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination（想象）would lie very still so that the “enemy（敌人）” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get on the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes（过程）of growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

A．one

A．Streetlights and car lights

D．Strange sights and sounds

【3】When she went to some other places, she would _________.

A．walk away without others

B．take a bus by herself

C．follow others closely

D．make sure not to take a wrong bus

【4】The underlined word “overcome” means “_______” in Chinese.

A．接受

B．忍受

C．信服

D．克服

23、"Earworms", some people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.

To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites (寄生虫) living in a part of our minds.

If you have got an earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory. Humans have an "inner ear", for remembering phone numbers, for instance. When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.

Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous "don’t think of a white bear" problem, which tells you to try not to think about white bears, or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to "shut up" is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears’ Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!

【1】According to the passage, earworms are ______.

A.songs that keep going round in our mind

B.worms that live in a part of our brain

C.tunes by pop singers like Lady Gaga

D.parasites clearly under our control

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Singing songs may get earworms out of your head.

B.Earworms are used for keeping long-term memory.

C.Humans do not have complete control over their mind.

D.You won’t suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.

【3】What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The instruction to shut up your mind.

B.“Don’t think of the white bear” problem.

C.Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head.

D.Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The causes and influences of earworms.

B.What earworms are and how to deal with them.

C.How to clear earworms out of your head.

D.The relation between earworms and popular songs.

24、   A rich man lost a piece of clothing. In it, he hid a lot of coins, so he must find it. He decided to give 100 coins to the finder.

An honest man found it and decided to give it back, but the rich man didn’t want to pay 100 coins, so he came up with an idea. He opened up the clothes and counted the coins.

“I can only find 700 coins,” he said. “You must have taken away 100 coins!”

The honest man was so angry. Then they came to a judge(法官) and told him about their story. The judge let them swear(发誓) what they were saying was true. Both did! Then the judge said to the honest man, “The rich man lost the clothing with 800 coins, so the piece you found cannot be his. I advise that you take it home and keep it in a safe place until its true owner comes to ask for it.”

At last, the judge said to the rich man, “You lost the clothing with 800 coins, so this piece that the honest man found cannot be yours. I advise that you go home and wait for your clothes with 800 coins.”

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的在答题卡上将“T”涂黑，错误的在答题卡上将“F”涂黑。

【1】The rich man lost a piece of clothing with 800 coins.

【2】The rich man was not honest at all.

【3】The honest man took away 100 coins from the clothes.

【4】The rich man wanted to give the honest man 100 coins.

【5】From the story, we can know that the judge was very clever.

25、首字母填空
