    Everybody is afraid of something. That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff. We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey: ①Scary movies and TV shows; ②Scary dreams; ③Thunderstorms, hurricanes, and other terrible weather; ④War and terrorism*; ⑤Sounds heard at night.
    It seems that not everyone is afraid of the same thing. What makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.
    What is fear?
    Fear is a feeling that everyone has — it’s programmed into all of us — and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries, and their mom comes over to comfort him or her, helping the baby feel safe and OK again.
    Real vs. Pretend
    The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older, they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches, he can tell himself, “Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”
    The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed? Is that a thief I hear? With the help of a parent, kids can get more comfortable in the dark. Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.

    小题1:Which of the following can’t help a kid fight the fear of dark?
    A．Using imaginations to think of witches.
    B．Their parents coming over to comfort them.
    C．Using a nightlight to see there’s nothing under the bed.
    D．Shining a flashlight to see there’s nothing under the bed.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “pretend” in paragraph 4 mean?
    A．Ugly.B．Usual.
    C．Unreal.D．Lovely
    小题3:What is the second paragraph of the passage mainly about?
    A．Fourteen scary things kids list.
    B．People are afraid of different things.
    C．The biggest fear for kids are always the same.
    D．The things frighten people are the same as the survey.
    小题4:Which is TRUE about the writer’s opinion?
    A．Having a sense of fear is not a bad thing.
    B．Nothing can help kids to get over a fear.
    C．Fear is something we get when we are older.
    D．Not all people can react to dangerous things.

    小题1:A
    小题2:C
    小题3:B
    小题4:A

    试题分析：本文讲述了小孩子恐惧的事物。通过调查列出了孩子恐惧的事物，由此作者发现人们害怕的事物是不同的，并标明害怕并不是一件坏事。
    小题1:细节理解题。文章最后一段介绍如何帮助孩子战胜对于黑暗的恐惧。根据第二行With the help of a parent, kids can get more comfortable in the dark.“在父母的帮助下，孩子们会感觉更加舒适。”可知B正确；根据最后一句Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.“使用小夜灯或是手电筒在床下照一下，发现什么也没有这样可以帮助孩子们战胜恐惧。”可知B、C正确。故选A。
    小题2:词义猜测题。根据上文讲述真实与不真实的事情，再结合本句Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.“等一下。他们只是假想的。我不需要担心他们。”可知答案为C。
    小题3:段落大意题。第二段主要讲述人们害怕的东西是不同的。故选B。
    小题4:推理判断题。根据第三段第一句话Fear is a feeling that everyone has — it’s programmed into all of us — and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us.“害怕是每个人都会有的感觉，受我们自己控制的，这是一件好事因为害怕可以保护我们。”可知A正确，有害怕的感觉不是坏事。

    The police find most criminals (罪犯) because somebody tells them who the criminals are. They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery (抢劫), the police first look through their computers for the names of the bank robbers that they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in prison (监狱). They ask them where they were when the robbery happened. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.
    Many criminals leave something of themselves at the places of the crimes like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or their hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it.
    Everyone’s DNA is different and their fingerprints are also different. So, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves his hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the person they think is the robber to give them his hair or some blood and see if it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in prison today because of this kind of evidences .
    根据上文内容判断正 ( T ) 误( F )
    小题1:Usually the police find criminals because they use their computer.
    小题2:The police do not usually ask criminals who are in prison about a crime because these criminals could not have done it.
    小题3:The most useful evidences that criminals leave at the places of their crimes are things with their DNA in them.
    小题4:Many criminals usually take something away only on their shoes after the crimes.
    小题5:The story is about a bank robbery.

      Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.
    Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.
    One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.
    The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.
    Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.
    Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere (干涉) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression (消沉).
    The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.
    These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.
    小题1: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?
    A．The environment.B．Mother’s sensitivity.
    C．Education before birth.D．Their peers (同龄人)
    小题2: What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?
    A．To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.
    B．To prove that babies can learn before they are born.
    C．To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.
    D．To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills.
    小题3: Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?
    A．The children of women who did not suffer from depression.
    B．The children of depressed but caring mothers.
    C．The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.
    D．The children with high communication abilities.
    小题4: What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.
    B．Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies’ intelligence.
    C．A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old.
    D．Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth.

    “Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).
    Close your eyes and imagine you are living in the next two centuries or more. You'll be living in a world filled with smart robots, which will be helping you to take care of your children, or your elderly parents in your home. You'll live much longer thanks to the medicine made by genetic (基因的) science. And mankind may be going farther in space than ever before-you will be living on the moon or Mars.
    How should we view the changes that wait for us in the future? Should we be optimistic (乐观的)about the years ahead, or worried about what the future holds? Some scientists and experts are having a discussion about how technology, science and society will develop in the future.
    "I'm looking forward to the day when more technology will come to my life," says John Searle, a professor at the University of California Berkeley Philosophy, "because I think further research in such areas as genetics, physics, chemistry and medicine will help us to overcome poverty, improve health, and make life longer."
    Hugh Herr, at MIT's Biomechatronics Group, considers very powerful weapons as concern over the future. Another is the growing role of technology in our lives."Machines’ taking over what humans do is not a good thing," Herr says.
    That is a similar concern shared by Daniela Cerqui, a social and cultural scientist. "I am afraid that the long-term future we are building will have no space left for human beings," says Cerqui. "The main values of our society are related to information that must progress as quickly as possible, and computers are much better than humans in these tasks ."
    小题1: The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.
    A．how science will develop in the future
    B．how people will live in a modern society
    C．what life would be like in the future
    D．what computers will bring to our society
    小题2:From Paragraph 4 we can infer that ___________.
    A．John Searl is optimistic about the future
    B．we should wait to see the changes in the future
    C．John Searl worries much about what the future holds
    D．further science research will be helpful for making life longer
    小题3: The underlined word "That" in the last paragraph refers to________.
    A．The poverty problem in the future
    B．Machines’ taking over what humans do
    C．The technology of weapons
    D．The health problem of humans
    小题4:The best title for the passage can be “___________”.
    A．The Future--Full of Hope or Concern
    B．Great Changes Will Take Place in the Future
    C．The Relationship Between Technology and Humans
    D．The Role of Robots and Computers in the Future
