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 1 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that 2 me so much. There was never total 3 , but a streetlight or passing car lights 4 clothes hung over a chair take on the 5 of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my 6 , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no 7 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My 8 would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would 9 very still so that the“enemy”would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, 10 on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home--that was no 11 . After school, 12 , when all the buses were 13 up along the street, I was afraid that I'd get on the wrong one and be taken to some 14 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't 15 the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears 16 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or 17 by others. Being popular was so important to me 18 , and the fear of not being liked was a 19 one.
One of the processes(过程)of growing up is being able to 20 and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us a children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
解析:
(1) A ;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。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。”(2) D ;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 my familiar 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”。(3) B ;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”。(4) C ;根据这几个动词的用法可以确定答案。forced和caused后接带to不定式;made后接不带to的不定式。因take on前面没有to,所以要选made作为答案。(5) D ;路灯和过路汽车照射进房间的光线使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”。(6) A ;由于恐惧,作者不敢正眼看房间里的东西,而是偷偷地 从眼角看东西。由于平时考生遇到out of comer 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。(7) B ;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。(8) C ;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“想像”;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,会引起各种想像,浮想联翩。(9) D ;根据作者这段所讲述的故事可以判断出,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”。(10) A ;especially的意思是“特别地”,表示比较。与其他情况比较,在放学回家的路上更害怕迷路。(11) B ;no problem的意思是“没问题”。由于上学时,公共汽车就在家门口,所以不会出问题。(12) A ;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”。(13) C ;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。(14) D ;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”。(15) B ;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。(16) C ;介词of表示“其中的”。all后接定语从句I had。(17) D ;(being)accepted by others在这句话中的意思是“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。(18) A ;then的意思是“那时”,指自己的童年时。(19) B ;比较所提供的情境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。(20) C ;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”。 |

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in the speech of a 13 character.
Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心) about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of stories or 18 is called the general reader.
As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20. Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21 you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own. Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases; negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent copying is a help to 25 by heart.
