24、As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

【1】The author had ________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.

A. one   B. two

A. Streetlight and car lights

A. walk away without others

B. take a bus by herself

C. follow others closely

D. make sure not to take a wrong bus

【4】Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?

A. She was usually popular among people.

B. She was always the leader of the others.

C. She always' got poor grades.

D. She was not at all liked by others.

【5】The underlined word "overcome" means "_________" in Chinese.

A. 接受   B. 忍受

C. 信服   D. 克服

25、Being able to go to a perfect university is what every high school student dreams of. However, for Jin Chengkuang, a high school senior at Shenzhen Experimental Chenghan School, his long-standing dream has been to be a film director. He has received offers from four top art schools in the United States, which means he is already on the way of making his filming dream come true.

Although Jin is only 18 years old, he has had some experience of filming. During his three years in high school, Jin produced four more short films besides Choose and Out of Control, which were more successful.

According to Jin, he shot Choose with an Argentinian student when he was at a summer school programme in New York. It was a short film about freedom. The film was produced in a classroom with only a fish tank as the main prop （道具）. To express the opposite of freedom, the tank was empty in the beginning, but suddenly, a fish appeared and swam freely in the tank. In the end, the fish disappeared, leaving us an open ending. It took Jin and his partner one month to finish the six-minute short film.

As a beginner, Jin has been quite lucky so far. Last winter, he got a chance to join the well-known film director Chen Kaige when they travelled to Northern China to film Legend of the Demon Cat.

Jin said, “A great film takes everyone’s efforts. Although the conditions were pretty poor, it was all worth it because I learned a lot.”

【1】Where did Jin produce the film Choose?

A．In America.

B．In Canada.

C．In Argentina.

26、

Chopsticks is a traditional Japanese children’s hand game which can also be called Finger Chess or Magic Fingers.

Start the game. You need at least two people to play the game. Both players put their hands on the table with one finger out of each hand, as shown in the picture. You will take turns to play.

Add the fingers. Add the number of fingers by tapping（拍）. For example, when you start the game, use one finger to tap your opponent’s（对手的） finger for once. Then your opponent has to add one finger to the hand that you tap. After that, it’s his or her turn to tap.

Transfer（转移） the fingers. To prevent losing the game too soon, you can use “Transfer”. “Transfer” means you use this turn to touch your own hands together, and divide all the fingers you get now into two hands. The total number of fingers should keep the same. For example, you put out three fingers of your left hand and one finger of your right hand. Once you use “Transfer”, you may have two fingers out of each hand.

Win the game. When someone once puts out five fingers in one hand, then the hand is considered “dead”. The player with two “dead” hands is out.

Though there are many rules and different names, the purpose of the game remains the same, that is to train your mind with basic math.

【1】We can know that Chopsticks is ________.

A．a Japanese game

B．played with chopsticks

C．only for children

D．about how to play chess

【2】When you start the game, you are supposed to ________.

A．have at least three players

B．put one hand under the table

C．sit back-to-back with your partner

D．put one finger out of each hand

【3】Suppose you have two fingers out of each hand. Gina taps you with one finger. Now you have ________ finger（s） in total.

A．two

B．three

C．four

D．five

【4】Picture ________ is NOT the right way to do “Transfer”.

A．

B．

C．

D．

【5】The purpose of the game is to improve players’ ________.

27、   Our brains believe information automatically（自动地）-even if it's false-because we can learn efficiently this way. "We're learning false information not because we're poor learners or not working hard, " says David Rapp, a psychology and education professor at Northwestern University. "In many cases, it's a useful skill for us to accept what people tell us, because often what people tell us is true."

When we hear new information, those fresh facts don't cover what we knew before. We'll draw on old or new information when the situation comes up. ___________ . Short-term memories are easier for our brains to access than facts we heard longer ago, because they're fresher in our minds-even if they're wrong. Since we have to think back further to remember old information, we will often ignore it in favour of new inaccurate（不准确的）information. New information is what we're currently thinking about or has been recently presented to us, while the old one isn't as readily available.

We also buy into the facts that seem more reasonable. Often, this means they fit better with what we want to believe, which can explain why people quote different facts in political debates. Both candidates said something that was objectively true or not, but people would go with what they hope to be true.

Things get even trickier when truth and falsehood coexist in the information. For instance, our brains aren't sure whether to believe the descriptions of London in Harry Potter. "Don't look for that train station to Hogwarts, but there might be streets mentioned that are real, " says Dr. Rapp. In fact, our brains can keep track of what's true or false by mentally tagging（标记）facts as either true or false,  but sorting all that information takes time. In many cases, we are unlikely to think critically to get information,  especially when we are reading for pleasure.

However, it's worth putting in the extra effort to have a second thought about the information that seems doubtful. "With the ease that we can look things up on the Internet, " says Dr. Rapp, "there's no reason not to." "Seek out reliable sources, " he adds.

【1】The missing sentence in Paragraph 2 might be "___________ ".

A.We always find the information updating fast nowadays

B.Oftentimes,  we use the information we heard most recently

C.From time to time,  we fail to remember unimportant things

D.We hardly see old information that is different from the truth

【2】The underlined phrase "buy into" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ___________ .

A.believe in B.learn from C.come up with D.care about

【3】Why does the writer mention Harry Potter in Paragraph 4?

A.To prove people are unable to think critically when reading.

B.To show the information we get can be a mix of true and false.

C.To warn readers of the negative influence,  of false information.

D.To explain how individual facts are mentally tagged as true or false.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Our brains can do very little with false information.

B.Short-term memories can cover long-term memories.

C.Dr. Rapp calls on people not to depend on the Internet.

D.People need to double-check the information they question.
