    As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
    Maybe it was the strange  26  things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that 27  me so much. There was never total  28 , but a streetlight or passing car lights  29   clothes hung over a chair take on(呈现) the  30  of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my 31 , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no  32 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My  33  would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would  34  very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
    Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost,  35 on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home .That was no  36 . After school, 37 , when all the buses were  38  up along the street, I was afraid that I’d get on the wrong one and be taken to some  39  neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my 40 .
    Perhaps one of the worst fears  41  all I had as a child was that of not being liked or  42  by others. Being popular was so important to me  43 , and the fear of not being liked was a 44  one.
    One of the processes(过程) of growing up is being able to  45  and overcome(克服) our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

    该篇完形填空讲叙的是作者战胜对黑暗和迷失的恐惧的经过。你怕黑暗和迷失吗？
    小题1:A 名词辨析。也许是晚上作者熟悉的房间里的物件看上去有些奇怪和发出奇怪的声响。这里已提及发生的时间（time）是在晚上，地点（place）是在作者熟悉的房间，作者无从知道其原因（reason），而是事情发生的方式（way）困惑着他。
    小题2:D 动词辨析。前后照应前文出现了I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost.奇怪的外表和奇怪的声音使作者担惊受怕（frightened）。wound击伤，伤害; frighten使惊吓；destroy破坏, 毁坏；surprise使惊奇, 奇袭。
    小题3:B 前后照应逻辑推理。没有完全的黑暗（darkness）。quietness寂静；emptiness 空虚；loneliness 孤独, 寂寞，此三项与文意不符。

    小题6:A固定搭配。注意与后面的saw一致。out of the corner of one's eye从眼角往外看。
    小题7:B逻辑推理。作者看到窗帘似乎在动，当没有风（wind）的时候，而不是没有呼吸（breath），空气（air）和声音（sound），只有风才能使窗帘动。
    小题8:C 名词辨析。只要有一点点声音，作者就会胡思乱想（imagination），心跳也会加剧。belief 信任，信仰；feeling感觉, 情绪；imagination 想象, 空想；doubt怀疑, 疑惑。
    小题9:D 动词辨析。作者就会一动也不动地躺着（lie），而不是躲藏（hide），睡眠（rest），以便不让"敌人"发现。lay放置，是及物动词，不合文意。
    小题10:A 上下文串联。特别是在放学回家的路上怕走失。especially特别, 尤其；simply简单地，简直；probably大概, 或许; directly直接地, 立即。
    小题11:B 上下文联系。早上去学校，就在家附近搭车，不怕走失，用不着讨论（discussion），不开玩笑（joke），不是什么大事（matter），自然没有什么问题（problem）。
    小题12:A 语句连贯词汇用法。前后句之间表示转折关系，此空需要一个副词。此题四个选项都可表示转折关系，although是连词，后面需接从句；though作连词，后跟从句，与although差不多，他还可作副词，置于句末时，用逗号分开，置于句中时，前后用逗号分开，表示与前面的句子之间的转折关系，通常译为"虽然/即使如此"；yet和still也可表示转折关系，但它们通常置于句首，用逗号分开。

    小题15:A 逻辑推理词义比较。作者总会跟着领队，不会让（let）他离开作者视线。let 让，允许；leave离开，留下；order命令；send遣送。
    小题16:C 词汇用法固定搭配。 …of all所有之中……。
    小题17:D 动词辨析。作者最担心的是不被他人喜欢或理解（accept）。后句的Being popular was so important to me有所暗示。注意句中的并列连词or所表示的意义"或者说，换言之"，后面需跟一个与其前面的词意义类似的词。protect保护；guide指导，带领；believe相信，信任；accept接受, 认可，理解, 了解。
    小题18:A 前后照应逻辑推理。当时，对作者来讲，重要的是受人欢迎的、爱戴。then指前文提到的作者做孩子的时候。there那儿；once曾经；anyway无论如何, 总之。
    小题19:B 形容词辨析。作者很大（powerful）程度地担心不被他人喜欢。strict严格的, 严厉的；powerful强大的, 有力的; heavy沉重，繁重；right正确，合适。
    小题20:C 逻辑推理。成长的过程就是认清恐惧并战胜恐惧。后文的Understanding the things that frightened us as children 已有所暗示。Realize意识到, 了解；remember回忆起，记得; recognize认清, 识别，认识到；recover重新获得, 恢复。

    Like every other Olympics, the London 2012 Olympics will depend upon thousands of volunteers to help with the smooth running of the event. To show the importance of the role, London 2012 volunteers are to be called ‘Game Makers’. Lord Coe has said recently: “London 2012 is relying on brilliant Game Makers to help us create a great Olympic and Paralympic Games. ”
    London 2012 Olympics volunteers will provide the face of London 2012, working behind the scenes and making sure the games are as well organized, efficient and, most importantly, as enjoyable as possible.
    Despite the hard-work and often unsociable hours required of volunteers, applications to be considered as a Game Maker were unprecedented（空前的） with all the 70, 000 available positions applied within days. But, for those still interested in helping out during 2012 and being in the middle of the action, there are still a lot of opportunities available.    
    If you were one of those who missed out on the chance of becoming London 2012 volunteers, you can now apply to be one of the 8, 000 London Ambassadors（大使）. This important role involves greeting fans from all over the world, welcoming them to the fantastic capital city of London and providing a friendly face as well as help, advice and a good old traditional warm British welcome. The view of London most visitors take away with them after the 2012 Olympics will mostly be down to the volunteers and ambassadors, so these roles play a very important part in the process of making the UK a great place to travel to.    
    Becoming a London Ambassador is a brilliant way to be involved with the London 2012 volunteers scheme and become a part of what should be an historic summer.
    小题1:Why are London 2012 volunteers called “Game Makers”?
    A．They’ll decide whether the London 2012 Olympics are a success.
    B．They play an important role in the London 2012 Olympics.
    C．The London 2012 Olympics won’t be organized without them.
    D．They will work hard and effectively.
    小题2:Which of the following can replace the underlined part “be down to” in Paragraph 4?
    A．be the responsibility of
    B．be under the control of
    C．be in harmony with
    D．be in charge of
    小题3:What’s the purpose of the passage?
    A．To appeal to more volunteers.

    C．To show the importance of volunteers.
    D．To guide how to spend the historic summer.

    If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame.  Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
    　 Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck－lines are lowered or raised, and soon.
    No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high－heeled shoes.
    　 When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Does the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanged styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
    小题1:The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the of clothing
    ___ .
    A．comfortB．appearance C．costD．suitability
    小题2:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE？
    A．Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
    B．The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.
    C．The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
    D．New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
    小题3:By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious”, the writer means that _____.
    A．women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
    B．women are better able to put up with discomfort
    C．men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
    D．men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

    Although credit cards are becoming a more acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with doubts by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later” syndrome（综合症）．Along with hire-purchase, rental and leasing schemes（租赁项目）, they provide encouragement to spend more money．Of course, it is only the hotheaded who give way to the temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards．
    Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They prevent need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies．
    All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet sensible purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks, interest-free credit．Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further．
    It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets（经销店）, though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and department stores; and of course, what happens if your card is lost or stolen．A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential goldmine particularly if there is a delay in reporting the loss of the card．
    However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty．
    小题1:The hotheaded are people who ________．
    A．spend more money than they have
    B．spend less money than other people
    C．save money
    D．make money
    小题2:The disadvantage of credit cards is ________．
    A．to enable you to buy things without carrying large amount of cash
    B．to encourage people to spend more money
    C．to be always useful in emergencies
    D．to help people tide over a period of financial difficulty
    小题3:Deciding on a particular credit, you do not have to consider ________．
    A．the amount of credit granted　　
    B．the number and range of outlets
    C．the possibility of loss of money
    D．the department stores where you are going to use your credit cards
    小题4:The underlined words in the last paragraph probably means ________．
    A．floating with the tide ofB．going through a difficult period of
    C．rising and falling with the tide ofD．attempting to go against the tide of

    They may be small and not able to speak, but babies are proving their amazing cleverness. Scientists began finding infants’ skills are more than they are supposed to be.
    _________
    Speaking of music, babies can’t seem to resist it. Not only are their ears turned to the beats, babies can actually dance to the music.
    To test babies’ dancing ability, the researchers played recordings of classical music, rhythmic beats and speech to infants, and recorded the results. They also invited professional dancers to analyze how well the babies matched their movements to the music. The babies moved their arms, hands, legs feet and heads in response to the music, much more than to the speech. The finding suggests this dancing ability is innate(与生俱来的) in humans, though the researchers aren’t sure why it becomes weaker later in their life.
    Learning Quickly while Sleeping
    Babies can learn even while asleep, according to a 2011 study. In experiments with 26 sleeping infants, each just 1 to 2 days old, scientists played a musical tone followed by a puff of air to their eyes 200 times over the course of a half-hour. 124 electrodes(电极) stuck on the head and face of each baby recorded brain activity during the experiments. The babies rapidly learned to foretell a puff of air upon hearing the tone, showing a four-time increase on average in the chances of tightening their eyelids in response to the sound by the end of the experiments.
    As newborns spend most of their time asleep, this newfound ability might be crucial to rapidly adapting to the world around them and help to ensure their survival, researchers said.
    Judging Characters Well
    Judging another person helpful or harmful is crucial when choosing friends. And that ability starts early. Kiley Hamlin of Yale University showed both 6-and 10-month-olds a puppet(木偶) show, in which one character helped another climb a hill. In another scene a third character pushed the climber down. The little ones then got to choose which character they preferred. For both age groups, most babies chose the helper character. This character-judging ability could be baby’s first step in the formation of morals, Hamlin thought.
    小题1:Which of the following subtitles can fill in the underlined blank?
    A．Dancing to Music
    B．Babies’ Amazing Abilities
    C．Learning to Dance Quickly
    D．Born to Dance
    小题2:The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to______.
    A．the finding
    B．the dancing ability
    C．the response
    D．the baby
    小题3:The experiment with 26 sleeping infants prove that_______.
    A．babies can learn even while asleep
    B．babies can respond to the world around them
    C．babies can tighten their eyelids in response to the sound
    D．babies can communicate with others while asleep
    小题4:In the last experiment, most babies chose the helper character, showing that________.
    A．babies can judge a person helpful or harmful
    B．babies love to see a puppet show
    C．babies were born to help others
    D．babes have learned to help others

    The consumer(消费者) plays a very important role in the global efforts to reduce C02 emissions(排放). Households use one third of the final energy and produce around two thirds of city waste in the European Union. Besides，housing, food，and private transport make up almost 80％ of environmental pressures. Therefore there’s no doubt that consumers can make a real difference in fighting climate change．
    To direct consumers towards more environmentally-friendly decisions，we need clear and simple instructions to guide consumption behavior. Actually, two thirds of consumers find it hard to figure out which products are better for the environment, for 58% Europeans think that many businesses just pretend to be green so as to charge higher prices. Thus industry should work harder to give consumers more information about the carbon footprint of their product. For example, inform customers of products made from materials that are recycled，renewable, and／or less carbon-intensive.
    People prefer high-quality products that will last long and won’t go out of style, though they might sometimes cost more, especially in time of crisis. Firms that make durable（持久耐用的） or recyclable products cause people to behave more responsibly, which may help put an end to our “throw-way” culture．
    However, it is not enough to remind people of green products. It’s more important to direct people to follow a practical lifestyle model. Regulations alone cannot achieve this purpose. We call for good business communities to create a loyal group of “sustainable(可持续的) consumers”.
    小题1:According to the passage, the key to going greener globally is    ．
    A．to provide enough information about sustainable products
    B．to get the government involved in protecting the environment
    C．to encourage consumers to make their efforts to live a green way
    D．to direct companies to provide environmentally-friendly products
    小题2:The second paragraph tried to tell us that       ．
    A．people are buying sustainable products to have a lighter carbon footprint
    B．most European consumers lack confidence in making responsible choices
    C．companies have done enough to allow consumers to make greener choices
    D．companies can make more money by making less carbon-intensive products
    小题3:It’s advised that companies had better       especially in the time of crisis.
    A．throw away old materials
    B．reduce the cost of production
    C．make more durable products
    D．replace their products frequently
    小题4:The last paragraph puts emphasis on ___________.
    A．the quality of products.
    B．the honesty of companies.
    C．the government regulations.
    D．the importance of lifestyle.

    Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child’s lie is different from an adult’s lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.
    “Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study. He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the child’s back. Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.
    For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn’t. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.
    Researchers have found that it’s kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. That’s because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie — and lie successfully  — is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities.
