[单项选择]Passage Three
Last week, I read a story about a 34-year-old British woman who is extremely afraid of metal forks. She’s been using plastic ones for 17 years because the sound of a fork rubbing against a plate g:ives her a panic attack.
Strange, right But she’s not alone. While popular phobias(恐惧症) about snakes and spiders might get all of the attention, there are a wide variety of not-so-obvious horrors that make people nervous.
While some phobias might seem a bit silly, they can cause serious emotional distress. My co-worker Magda is terrified of pigeons, a phobia that is taking over her life. She won’t walk in certain parts of the city and runs screaming from the subway when one of these "rats with wings" finds its way onto the platform. Another friend isdisgusted with cheese. Once I saw her run away from a slice of it. So where does anirrational fear of cheese come from
Are phobias something we inherit from our genes or do we acquire these unusualanxieties over t
A. strange birds
B. pigeons
C. devils
D. exotic rats

[单项选择]Passage Three
Legends about King Arthur have existed since the 6th century. Stories of the man and his doings have grown far beyond anything that could be regarded as factual history. Here are some of the highlights.
Arthur was born as a result of the wizardry of Merlin, who arranged all adulterous liaisons between Arthur’s father, King Uther Pendragon, and his lover, a married duchess. Merlin agreed to do this only if the lovers allowed him to bring up the child born of the affair. When Uther Pendragon died some years later, there was confusion in the kingdom about who should inherit the throne. Merlin arranged a pageant(盛会) where many knights came to try their luck at pulling a sword out of a stone. Whoever successfully extracted the blade, was the rightful king. After many a brave knight had tried and failed, Merlin presented the young Arthur who, to everyone’s surprise, easily pulled out the sword.
As King Arthur established the knightly fellow
A. a brief history of King Arthur
B. the story of the Round Table Knights
C. a legendary life of King Arthur
D. the death of King Arthur
