36.way的意思是“状况，情况”，后接定语从句things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night……,省略了in which或that。这个短语的意思是“在夜里，我熟悉的房间里的东西看上去和听起来的状况”。答案为A。
37.frightened的意思是“吓唬，使害怕”。本篇短文主要讲述了童年时所产生的恐惧感。这是一个强调句，对主语the strange way things looked and sounded in myfamiliar room at night进行强调。wounded的意思是“使受伤”；destroyed的意思是“毁坏”；surprised的意思是“使吃惊”。答案为D。
38.根据上文中的at night和下文中的a streetlight or passing car lights可以判断出房间里并不是一片漆黑。quietness的意思是“安静”；emptiness的意思是“空”；loneliness的意思是“寂寞”，均不合语意。答案为B。
39.根据这几个动词的用法可以确定答案：got ,forced和caused后接带to的不定式；made后接不带to的不定式。take on前面没有to，所以要选made作为答案。答案为C。 
40.shape“形状”。路灯和过路汽车照射进房间的光线使悬挂在椅子上的衣服呈现出野兽的形状。spirit的意思是“灵魂”；height的意思是“高度”；body的意思是“身体”。答案为D。 
41.由于恐惧，作者不敢正眼看房间里的东西，而是偷偷的从眼角看东西。由于平时考生遇到out of the corner of时，后面往往接street, room等表示位置的词，所以一些考生选了window或door，没有正确理解作者当时的心理状态。答案为A。
42.根据所提供的情境the curtains seem to move可以确定答案。作者看到当时房间里没有风(wind)，而窗帘似乎在动，这更加剧了作者的恐惧感。breath, air或sound都不会引起窗帘来回的活动。答案为B。
43.所给的四个选项都是表示心理状态的词。belief的意思是“信念”；feeling的意思是“感情”；imagination的意思是“想象”；doubt的意思是“怀疑”。根据我们的经验，人们在看到使自己恐惧的东西时，会引起各种想象，浮想联翩。答案为C。 
44.根据作者在这段所讲述的故事里可以判断出，这是作者躺在床上看到的情景。lie very still的意思是“躺着一动不动”。lay是及物动词，后接宾语，意思是“放置”。答案为D。 
45.especially的意思是“特别地”，表示比较。与其他情况相比，在放学回家的路上更害怕迷路。答案为A。 
46.no problem的意思是“没问题”。由于上学时，公共汽车就在家门口，所以不会发生问题。答案为B。 
47.注意区别though与although的用法：though除了作连词引导让步状语从句外，还可以作副词，意思是“然而”。although只作连词，不作副词。yet含有“然而”的意思时，是并列连词，后接句子。still作副词的意思是“仍然”，不合语意。答案为A。
48.lined up的意思是“排成一行”。放学时，所有的汽车都沿街排成一行，使作者害怕坐错车。答案为C。 
49.作者在这段讲述的是自己害怕迷路，所以这里指的是害怕公共汽车把自己带到一个陌生的地方去。crowded的意思是“拥挤的”。答案为D。 
50.let后接副词短语作宾语补足语。在老师或家长带作者去公园或博物馆游玩或参观时，他不让老师或家长离开自己的视线。答案为B。 
51.介词of表示“其中的”。all后接定语从句I had……。答案为C。
52.(being)accepted by others在这句话的意思是“被别人领养”。在作者所有的恐惧里，使他最害怕的大概是失去爱或被别人领养。作者担心自己失去父母的爱，而被父母遗弃。A项protected“保护”；B项guided“引导”；C项believed“认为”均不合适。答案为D。
53.then的意思是“那时”，指自己的童年时。答案为A。
54.根据所提供的情境Being popular was so important to me then中的important可以确定答案。powerful的意思是“强有力的”。与受到别人的喜欢相比，失去父母的爱的恐惧更加强大。答案为B。
55.成长的其中一个过程是有能力认识和克服自己的恐惧。recognize的意思是“认识到”。只有认识到自己的恐惧，才能克服它们。realize的意思是“实现”。答案为C。
