16、hikes, because I would go only where I was sure I could never get lost.【试题解析】 这是一篇关于作者回忆小时候害怕的事情的说明性文章。文章要求补充第三段。首先让我们来分析一下文章的各个段落和它们之间的联系。第一段：主要写到作者认为自己的童年是快乐的，他清楚地记得小时候无忧无虑的生活。但同时也记得一些很让他害怕的时刻。作为一个小孩，作者害怕黑，怕迷路，怕不被别人喜欢。这些害怕很真实，让作者觉得很不舒服。其中本段倒数第二句为文章中心思想中的关键词。(1)the most carefree times of my life 我生

17、命中最无忧无虑的时光(2)be terrified of 害怕I was truly terrified of the dark，of getting lost and not being liked by others我很害怕黑，怕迷路，怕不被别人喜欢。第二段：是主体段一，主要写道，也许是我卧室里熟悉的东西在夜里看起来或听起来很奇怪，因此让我害怕。其实没有完全的黑暗，但是路灯或者是路过的车灯让挂在椅子上的衣服呈现出怪兽的形状。用眼角的余光，我能看到好像当没有风的时候，窗帘还会摆动。地板上很小的声音听上去像是白天的上百倍，这时我的想象就会占了上风，想象他是夜贼或怪兽。黑暗总是让我觉得很无助，我

18、的心怦怦地跳，我就这样静静地死去，这样，“敌人”就不会轻易地发现我了。这一段与关键词中的害怕黑暗紧密相关。(1)the corner of my eye 眼睛的余光Out of the corner of my eye，I saw that the curtains seemed to move when there was no breeze用眼角的余光，我看到窗帘在摆动，即使在没有风的时候。(2)take over 接管，取得主导地位My imagination would take over，creating burglars and monsters 我的想象就占据了主导地位，认为那是

19、夜贼或怪兽。第四段：是主体段三，主要写，我认为最害怕的是不被别人喜欢。首先，我很害羞，其次，我常常担心自己的长相，认为别人会不喜欢我，因为我太胖或戴着牙齿矫正器。我尽量穿别人认为“正确”的衣服，并有时因穿衣服和妈妈吵架。那时候，受欢迎对我来说太重要了，最害怕的就是别人不喜欢我。这一段与关键词中的害怕不被别人喜欢相联系。第五段：是结论段，应用的是归纳主要观点的方法，即：对三个主体段中的主要观点进行归纳。主要写，从孩子成为大人的一个步骤就是不再害怕童年曾经害怕的东西。黑暗是生活的一部分，当迷路的时候可以向别人求助，友好和亲切可以使别人喜欢我们。明白那些童年时曾经让我们害怕的东西有助于更好地解决成人

20、的事情。(1)evolve from 逐渐发展One of the processes of evolving from a child to an adult is being able to recognize and outgrow our fears从孩子逐渐成为大人的一步就是不再害怕童年曾经害怕的东西。(2)cope with 解决Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us to cope with our lives as adults明白那些童年时曾经让我们害怕的东西有助于更好地解决成人的事情。通过上文

21、的分析，第一段中提到了三种害怕的东西，第二段讲的是害怕黑暗，第四段讲的是害怕不被别人喜欢，由此可见，第三段缺省的主题是害怕迷路，所以第三段应该补充的是害怕迷路。作为一个小孩，很可能是在上学、放学的路上发生这种事，所以可以就这个事件进行详细地描写。例如害怕迷路时的心情和表现，以及为了避免迷路所做出的行为。下面我们来看一下句子的组织：(1)当所有的公共汽车都停在路边的时候，我特别担心我上错车。When all the buses were lined up along the curb，I was terrified that Id get on the wrong one(2)我会仔细地看公交车

22、，是否里面有我同学熟悉的面孔，看司机是不是和早上的是同一个人，甚至还会一次又一次地问别人以保证我没上错车。I would scan the bus for the faces of my friends， make sure the bus driver was the same one that had been there in the morning， and even then ask the others over and over again to be sure I was on the right bus(3)out of my sight离开我的视线在去学校或回家的路上，我不

28、no materials read for pleasure【试题解析】 此题是列提纲。在总结提纲时，要抽取意思，而不要照搬原文。这篇文章分为 5 个自然段。通读全文，可看出文章分为三层意思。第一自然段为第一层，讲 20 世纪 80 年代晚期美国成年人的文盲人数。二、三两段为第二层，主要讲述美国政府开始对此给予注意。最后两段为一层，描写政府的一些措施。其中，各个层次中间又有自己的结构。第一自然段很明显分为两个层次：AHaving an estimated 1721 million illiterate adults in the USB Having seven million more wi

29、th minimal reading ability二、三两段各自又可独立划分。虽然总体是关于“The U S government paid attention to the problem of extensive adult illiteracy”，但第二段是讲述一战时期此问题刚刚受到重视，第三段是讲 20 世纪 60 年代文盲问题成为政府和私人机构的重点问题。最后两段也可总结为两部分，叙述具体的政策。第一是一些计划的实施，另外是大多数教育计划运用一些实用材料。通过层层剥笋，文章脉络一目了然。三、Compose an essay3 【正确答案】 An Unforgetable Profe
