7、marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.11 Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play

8、it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burn it before. A really fearless soldierand some do existis not a good soldier because he is soon killed;

9、and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and

10、 killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: an airplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!The important thing is not to let fe

11、ar rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump ou

12、t of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course, of action,

13、so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.11 Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if _.（A）they were given no warning beforehand（B） they had never burnt themselves（C） they had no sense of pain（D）they were fearful of

14、 the fire12 A really fearless soldier _.（A）is of little use to the army（B） is without equal（C） is nothing but a dead soldier（D）easily gets killed in a battle13 Fear should be used properly because _.（A）an airplane may crash on your house（B） you may get cancer（C） fear can only be used as a servant an

15、d guide（D）men are now letting fear rule them too much14 People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _.（A）they have gained experience（B） they jump out of the way in time（C） they are calm in face of danger（D）they are warned of the danger and can take quick action15 Implied but not state

16、d: _.（A）Fear is always something helpful（B） Too much fear is harmful（C） Fear ought to be used as a servant and guide（D）Fear is something unprofitable15 We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is t

17、rue that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they axe angry. This is probably because they are

18、 born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble“ suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he open

19、ed his eyes wide“ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!“ .Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, peo

20、ple differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language tha

21、n younger people do.16 According to the passage, _.（A）we can hardly understand what peoples gestures mean（B） we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures（C） words can be better understand by older people（D）gestures can be understand by most of the

25、）Culture and Understanding20 Imagine a world in which children would be the rulers and could decide not only the outcome of each and every occurrence, but also dictate the very structure and form of the environment. In this world, a childs wildest thoughts would become reality, limited only by the e

26、xtent of his or her imagination.While such a world might sound both fantastic and frightening, at least from a logical, adult perspective, it does exist. Whats more, it has been in existence for some time and is populated by hundreds of thousands of children who spend hours within its boundaries exp

27、erimenting and learning. This world is not real, at least not in the traditional sense, but exists within a computer and is generated by an educational programming language called LOGO. Unlike other computer languages and programs that are designed to test children and provide applications that form

28、ally dispense information, LOGO allows children, even preschool children, to be in total control.
