A
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: ① Scary movies and TV shows; ② Scary dreams; ③Thunderstorms, hurricanes, and other horrible weather;④ War and terrorism; ⑤ Sounds heard at night.
But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. And 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 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.
1. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The list of fears is not complete
B. The things people fear are of no big fear.
C. Kids have more fears than people think.
D. People are afraid of different things.
2. In the writer’s opinion, .
A. having a sense of fear is not a bad thing.
B. babies have a weak sense of fear.
C. fear is not something that we are born with
D. not all people can react to dangerous things.
3. What does the underlined word “pretend” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Ugly B. Usual C. Unreal D. Lovely
B

Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basis of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature.
At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact, his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentlemen, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American President such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nor to do with everyday practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.
8. Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he .
A. lacked practice in public speaking
B. felt his education was not good enough
C. didn’t like arguing and debating with people
D. felt that debating was like intellectual training
9. The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he .
A. didn’t really care about going
B. didn’t know French leaders
C. couldn’t communicate directly with the French leaders
D. was too busy to travel
10. According to the author .
A. Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later life
B. Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak French
C. Washington was not as good a president as Adams, Jefferson or Madison
D. Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen
11. The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education .
A. was if great variety, covering many subjects
B. was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of this time
C. may seem poor by modern standards but was goog enough for his time
D. was rather limited for a president
D
Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
12. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s
A. Academic. B. Unattractive. C. Inexpensive. D. Confidential.
13. What did street sales mean to newspapers
A. They would be priced higher. B. They would disappear from cities.
C. They could have more readers. D. They could regain public trust.
14. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at
A. Local politicians. B. Common people.
C. Young publishers. D. Rich businessmen.
15. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper
A. It was a difficult process. B. It was a temporary success.
C. It was a robbery of the poor. D. It was a disaster for printers.

2. In the writer’s opinion, .

D. not all people can react to dangerous things.
3. What does the underlined word “pretend” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Ugly B. Usual C. Unreal D. Lovely
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要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，并表明害怕并不是一件坏事。
【1题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else.”（但并不是每个人都害怕同样的事情。让一个人害怕的事情对另一个人来说可能没什么大不了的。）可知，人们害怕不同的东西。故选D项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据What is fear 下面的第一句“Fear is feeling that everyone has -- it’s programmed into all of us -- and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us.”（恐惧是一种每个人都有的感觉——它是我们所有人与生俱来的——这是一件好事，因为恐惧是用来保护我们的。）可知，作者认为有恐惧感并不是一件坏事。故选A项。
3题详解】
词义猜测题。根据Real vs. Pretend下面的第二三句“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”（随着孩子年龄的增长，他们理解得更多，并开始看到真实与不真实之间的区别。所以当威廉的想象力引导他想到女巫时……）可知，随着孩子们的成长，他们会意识到真实与不真实的事物的区别，他们就会明白女巫并不是真实存在的，也就不会再害怕它。故推知pretend意为“假想的，不真实的”。故选C项。

Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basis of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature.
At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact, his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentlemen, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American President such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nor to do with everyday practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.

A. lacked practice in public speaking
B. felt his education was not good enough

Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
12. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s
A. Academic. B. Unattractive. C. Inexpensive. D. Confidential.
13. What did street sales mean to newspapers
A. They would be priced higher. B. They would disappear from cities.
C. They could have more readers. D. They could regain public trust.
14. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at
A. Local politicians. B. Common people.
C. Young publishers. D. Rich businessmen.
15. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper
A. It was a difficult process. B. It was a temporary success.
C. It was a robbery of the poor. D. It was a disaster for printers.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了面向大众的“便士报纸”的诞生历史。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding.可知，在19世纪30年代之前，只有大多数报纸中几乎没有能吸引大众的内容，让人感觉无聊，视觉上令人望而却步。故那时的报纸没有什么吸引力。分析选项，A. Academic学术的；B. Unattractive没有吸引力，无魅力的；C. Inexpensive廉价的，不贵的；D. Confidential机密的，保密的。故A、C和D是错误的，只有B符合对19世纪30年代之前的报纸的描述，故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段提到“便士报纸”针对大众，很便宜，更重要的是，在街上可以买的到报纸；再结合第三段中间的within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities.可知，报纸的街头销售随处可见，而且很便宜，大家都负担得起，所以街头销售意味着读报纸的人多了。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public.可知，这种“便士报纸”针对大众，在街上就可以买得到。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The new trend of newspapers for ‘the man on the street’ did not begin well. Some of the early ventures were immediately failures. Publishers already in business, people who owners of successful papers, had little desires to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.可知，“便士报纸”一开始并不好，一些早期的尝试立即失败了。已经进入商业领域的成功的出版商，并不想改变这一传统。后来一些年轻而大胆的商人才推动了这件事。由此可推断出“便士报纸”的诞生是一个困难而曲折的过程。故选A。
