44.D

45.B

46.A本文是一篇科普类短文阅读。文章主要解释为什么人们爱看恐怖电影，坐过山车等惊险游戏的原因。【43题详解】细节理解题。作者先后回答了一下这三个问题：Whydopeoplelikebeingscared?/Howdoscientistsexplainwhyshakingoversuchscarythingsisfun?/Whathappensinthebrainwhensomethingfrightensyou?故选B。【44题详解】细节理解题。从原文第五段Tobelievewehavecontroloverasituationgivesusafeelingofpower可知，摆脱恐惧后，他们会感到强大。故选D。【45题详解】细节理解题。A选项所提的遗传问题在文章第二段“leavingthemorefearfulandcarefultopasstheirgenesontothenextgeneration.”是用来解释“Fearisanancientwayofsurviving.”与A选项表述完全无关。原文第五段提到“Scarymoviesornovelsaregoodpracticetoprepareyoungpeoplefortherealthing.”这里的goodpractice值得是看恐怖电影和读恐怕小说；而B选项中所说的goodpractice指的是“togetpreparedfortherealfrighteningsituation”；二者完全不同。C选项内容文章没有涉及。故选B。【46题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，本文就是解释为什么人们爱看恐怖电影，坐过山车等惊险游戏的原因。所以用Readytoscream?做标题。故选A。19.Aten-year-oldfromHowell,Michiganisbeingpraisedasaherothankstohispersistence(坚持)thatledtosavingthelifeofanelderlyneighbor.TheeventhappenedlateinaneveningwhenDannyDiPietrowasbeingdrivenhomefromhockeypracticebyhismom.That’swhentheyoungboynoticedanopengarage(车库)andafigure(身影)thathebelievedwasadogoutsideanapartmentbuildingnearhishouse.Giventhefreezingcoldweather,theyoungboygotafeelingthatsomethingwasnotright.Butinsteadofdismissingitlikemostkidshisagewouldhave,heinsistedthathismother,
