摘要： A. help B. care C. learn D. inspire SECTION C Direction: Complete the following passage by using one word that best fits the context. As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark; the fear was very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments. Maybe it was the strange 48. things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that 49. me so much. There was never total darkness, but a streetlight or passing car lights made clothes hung over a chair take on the 50. of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no 51. . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My 52. would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy" would not discover me. Perhaps another fear I had as a child was that of not being liked or 53. by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a 54. one. One of the processes of growing up is being able to 55. and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life. PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the answer that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A Think of some of your favorite singers. When you listen, they can make you happy or sad, peaceful or angry. They can make you relax or want to get up and dance. Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many ways - emotionally, physically and mentally. But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one. It takes practice, devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera star Carol Vaness. At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when she’s singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes. “When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater, Carol explains. “You have to take a lot of air into your lungs. According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s a lot softer. When I sing for children, they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears - like waves on a beach, Carol says. “In opera, the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth - it vibrates in your chest, the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played. Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voice – the highest singing voice for women. Carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them. The stories of opera can be tragic or comical. They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing, the emotions expressed by words and music come to life. Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace. “Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it, says Carol, “because singing is a great joy. That’s why I sing. In fact, that’s why everybody sings.
