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 street light or 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 dark 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 on the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldnt 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） of 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 he was a child. A . oneB . twoC . threeD . none（2） would scare the author at night. A . Street lights and car lightsB . Wild animals and enemiesC . Moving curtains and windD .

With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, were able to get a quick fix and present the best pictures of ourselves to the world.However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, were also changing the way we look at our ourselves. Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies Living in the Era of Filtered (滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell the lines between reality and fantasy. These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty. the article says. In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of celebrities who were famous that time. But for todays young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look, a British doctor Escho told The Independent.Now youve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media, Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website.Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparison, they may become beauty sick and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldnt think to ourselves, Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam? Instead, we should think, I feel good, I have my health.（1）What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media? A . Smoothing their skin in the morning.B . Using apps to edit photos.C . Wearing false eyelashes.D . Redding their lips before going out.（2）Where should we put the sentence This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look.? A . B . C . D . （3）The fifth paragraph implies (暗示) that _. A . people today focus(关注) more on how good they look than in the pastB . in the past, people thought highly of those who are good at celebratingC . social platforms help people learn about self-worthD . self-worth is related purely on followers people have（4）What did the writer write this passage for? A . To call on people to care more about appearance.B . To call on people not to use apps on mobile phone.C . To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.D . To call on people not to spend too much time on comparison with others.六、 任务型阅读（本题有4小题；每小题1分，共4分） (共1题；共4分)14. （4分）阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有一项为多余选项 Littering is a big problem in cities around the world. People know it does harm to the environment, but few do something for years to make a difference. However, Butt Lady sets an example to all. The true name of Butt Lady is Sally Dawly. She lives in Auburn, a city in California, US._ because she had spent most of her free time picking up cigarette butts (香烟头) from the streets of her city. After picking up one million cigarette butts in three and a half years, she has set a new goal for herself-two million cigarette butts.Dawly got tired of going on her walks and seeing cigarette butts everywhere, so in 2014 she started to take action. Armed（装备）with a broom(扫帚), dustpan and a pair of tongs, the anti-littering activist walked down the streets in search of cigarette butts, picked them up and threw them in the trash can. To see how many butts she picks up, the Butt Lady has been using a counting device (装置)._ after picking up as many as 3,000 butts a day. She said she wanted to shout Come on people. Dont throw your butts._.Dawly knows it
