When I was fifteen, I was shy. I remember an attractive girl trying to
2、talk with me. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax. This gives you the space to practise certain conversational skills. Relaxe
3、d socializing(社交) is so pleasurable. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice.Focus your attention away from yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversations, imagine
4、where they might live, and make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about, it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer.Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. As
5、k questions that require more than a “yes” or “no” response such as “What do you like about this place？” rather than “Do you like this place？” Once they have answered, you can use addon(追加) questions connected with the first such as “What other places do you like in this city？” Next you can express
6、your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going.Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteenyearold self.1.

7、and nervousC. he was attracted by her appearance D. he wasnt interested in her topic2.

9、ons will the author probably advise us to ask?A. What a lovely day, isnt it? B. Do you like playing basketball?C. Do you think he will pass the exam? D. Why do you find that English is hard to learn?BLondonSheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scienti
10、sts said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated the woolly creature. They could be much smarter than we think.Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, Southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faceswhich they think
11、 is a sure sign of intelligence.Behavioural scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes (电极) to measure their brain activity, which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years.“If they can do that with
12、 faces, they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else？” Kendrick said in an interview.So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.Kendrick believes sheep get their re
13、putation as dumb (unable to speak, unintelligent) animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and are frightened of just about everything. “All animals, including humans, once they are frightened, dont tend to show signs of intelligent action，” he explained
14、.In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish among many different faces which look extremely similar.“The most important finding of the study is that they are able, b
15、oth from a behavioural point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized, to remember a large number of individuals for a very long time，” said Kendrick. “It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”5From the first paragraph we can find that
16、_. Apeople used to think sheep were smarter than the other animals Bpeople used to raise sheep in a wrong way Cpeople dont consider sheep as clever animalsDpeople have done a lot of research on sheep 6From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that_. Ascientists have learned everything about

Edinburgh University already has the equipment to allow a small number of students to use comp
19、uters during exams. Senior officials at Edinburgh University say that it is unfair to expect students to use pens and paper in exams when the majority of their coursework is done on computers. Undergraduates at the School of Divinity have the choice of using computers with their final answers being
20、collected on a USB stick, but the takeup stands at less than 10 per cent.Dai Hounsell, a professor of higher education at the university, said, “Weve got to look at alternatives to the handwritten exam. Looking ahead ten years from now, Im sure there will not be handwritten answers any longer in the
21、 exam of certain subjects, but how we get there from here isnt easy. The plan doesnt apply so much to science and engineering subjects where students have to use charts and mathematical formulae(公式). There isnt technology at the moment to allow them to do that on a computer.” He adds that the approv
22、al of students is the key before anything is carried out. He also said, “We dont want to put students future at risk by experimenting as there are technical things which can go wrong. There could be a power failure.”Nora Mogey, head of Media and Learning Technology Service at the university, said, “
23、A lot of students are not assured enough to make that step in such an important situation. They dont feel theyve had enough practice in typing on a computer with a time limit in a highpressure environment. They think they do better with a pen in their hand than on a keyboard.”Jennifer Cadiz, preside
24、nt at the National Union of Students in the UK, said, “Its great to see universities recognizing that times have changed. Exams can be a really stressful time for students and its helpful to offer them a flexible(灵活的) way to complete exams.”No other major Scottish universities have plans to follow i

57、e a volunteer for the International Tourism Festival in our city. Yours，Li Hua答案.第一节A【文章大意】 本文就如何克服羞涩给出了一些建议：要与别人以轻松的方式交谈，同时注意展开话题的方法。1B细节理解题。根据“My shyness made me focus on me instead of her.”可知当时作者非常紧张、害羞，故选B。2C推理判断题。根据“Focus your attention away from yourself.”得知A 项是错误的；根据“Ask people open questions
58、.”得知 D项是不全面的；文中没有提及B项；根据“To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax.”(为了克服羞涩感，你要与别人以放松的方式交谈)，可知选C。3C推理判断题。根据首句“Shyness equals losing opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections”可知，害羞内向的人压力大，不快乐。选C。4D推理判断题。根据“Ask questions that require more than a yes or no response such as What do
59、you like about this place？ rather than Do you like this place？”得知作者建议我们问的问题不是简单的“是”或“不是” 就能回答的，要能表达对方的观点，选D。B【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文，讲述的是人类可能低估了羊的智商。羊能分辨出多达25对长相极其相似的羊。这是科学家通过实验证实的事情。5C推理判断题。根据文章首段“humans may have underestimated the woolly creature.”可知人类以前低估了羊的智商，选C。6B 推理判断题。根据末段“It is a very strange system
60、. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”可知，虽然对羊的研究有一些进展，但还有很多方面没有弄明白。选B。7C 细节理解题。根据文章句子“So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.”可知，羊吃草时，也许脑子正积极活跃。选C。C【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道类短文，介绍了苏格兰大学正在考虑允许学生在考试中使用自己的电脑，而且爱丁堡大学的高级官员对此也非常赞同，他们认为在考试中使用电脑也是一种趋势。但是有些
61、习惯用纸和笔答题的学生却对此没有信心。8C推理判断题。根据文章首段中的“Senior officials at Edinburgh University say that it is unfair to expect students to use pens and paper in exams when the majority of their coursework is done on computers.”可知选C。9B推理判断题。从第二段中的“He also said, We dont want to put students future at risk by experiment
62、ing as there are technical things which can go wrong. There could be a power failure.”可知Dai Hounsell认为用电脑进行考试可能会出现问题，所以他对此不是很乐观，故选B。10A词义猜测题。根据该词后面内容“They dont feel theyve had enough practice in typing on a computer with a time limit in a highpressure environment. They think they do better with a pe
63、n in their hand than on a keyboard.”可知许多学生对在电脑上答题考试没有信心，选A。11C推理判断题。根据文章内容可知用电脑考试的相关方面还不完善，而且别的大学也没有实行这种制度的打算，由此可判断在考试中电脑的使用在短时间内不会普及，选C。D【文章大意】 世界上的盲人多达4.2千万。为使贫富国家获得均等的医疗知识和技术，ORBIS组织举办flying teaching eye hospital，并且为之做了许多贡献。为了让这个教学机构发挥更大的作用，大家都出一份力吧！12C 段落大意题。第一段连续用了三个imagine，尤其后两句要读者想象一下：闭着眼睛度过余
64、生将会怎样；用指尖而不是用眼睛阅读此文又会怎样。作者的意图显然是要大家体会一下盲人的生活，从而引起读者阅读下文话题的兴趣。因此选C。 13B 细节理解题。文章第二段告诉我们，当今世界医疗知识如此丰富，医疗技术如此发达，4.2千万的盲人，其中2/3不应该遭受失明的痛苦。然而发达国家拥有多数的医疗知识和技术，而发展中国家则无。显然是医疗知识和技术的分配不均。由此可知B选项正确。14B 细节理解题。 文中第三段告诉我们，在ORBIS组织中医生被教给使盲人恢复视力的最新技术；根据第四段可知，ORBIS组织通过提供为期三个星期的培训课程来帮助发展中国家，ORBIS 组织已教了35,000多名医生护士相关
65、的恢复视力技术。由此得知，B选项正确。15D 主旨大意题。文章首先吸引读者关注盲人，然后介绍ORBIS组织运营的flying teaching eye hospital为全世界培训医生和护士所做出的贡献。最后倡导大家捐款来帮助ORBIS组织运营flying teaching eye hospital。所以D 选项正确。第二节1620DBEGC.【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。从前有个人去山那边寻找更好的生活。路途艰辛，中途返回，其实只要他翻过了最后那个斜坡，就到达了他听说的地方。这个故事启迪人们：做事要有毅力、恒心，不能半途而废。只有坚持到最后才能寻找到自己想要的东西。21. C 在这
66、个人所听到的传说中山那边什么都好：土地肥沃、气候宜人、景色优美。bad 坏的；hot 热的；perfect 完美的；cold冷的。四个词中只有perfect 能够表现出山那边的气候很好，所以选C。22. B be interested in 对感兴趣；be bored of 对感到厌烦；be surprised at 对感到惊讶； be nervous about对紧张不安。一天， 这个人厌倦了自己家乡的生活。所以选B。23. B easy 容易的；necessary 必要的；simple 简单的；right正确的。一天， 这个人厌倦了自己家乡的生活，他觉得有必要改善自己的生活了。 24. A
67、 wish 希望；begin开始；refuse拒绝；help帮助。所以他带上包裹离开了他的家，开始爬这座山，希望自己可以过上更好的生活。25. C astonishing令人惊讶的；interesting 有趣的；tiring 疲劳的，厌倦的；attractive有吸引力的。根据“The man had to stop to rest many times.”可知选C。26. C corner角落。 point在这里指某个特定的地方。山的某些地方很陡。所以选C。 27. B 山很陡峭，这个人几乎想要放弃。get up 起床；give up放弃； sit down坐下； run away逃跑，逃
68、走。所以选B。28. D stop停止；ask 问，请求；notice 注意到；keep保持。keep sb doing sth意为“让某人一直做某事”。他想过好日子的梦想使他坚持下去。所以选D。29. A trouble 麻烦；steep陡峭；dream梦想；illness 病。在山顶有厚厚的丛林，同样的麻烦以前发生过很多次。所以选A。 30. D if 如果；because 因为；when 当时候；although尽管，虽然。虽然这次困难比较难克服，但是他还是能够克服。 31. B luckily 幸运地；however 然而，可是；or 否则；so 所以。上文说此人还是能够克服这次的困难
69、，然而他现在太累了，不想再继续下去了。32. C run 跑；play玩；climb爬；wait等待。然而，爬了那么多的山，穿越了那么多的丛林，他觉得太累了。 33. B happy高兴的；angry生气的；excited感到兴奋的；lucky幸运的。 fruit在这里意为“成果，结果”，相当于good results。他没有得到好的结果，所以他很生气。angry最能体现出此人当时的心情。34. A try 尝试；help 帮助；escape 逃跑；learn学习。这个人觉得太累了，他不想再尝试了。 35. C film 电影；book 书；tale 故事，传说；lesson课，教训。或许山那
70、边的生活不像传说中的那样好。 根据第一段的“he heard of tales of the other side of the hill”可知此空选C。36. B strange 奇怪的；terrible 可怕的，糟糕的；useless 无用的；dangerous危险的。这个人自言自语道：“山那边的生活也许没有传说中的那么好，我的家也没有那么糟糕。”所以选B。37. B look around 向四周看；turn around 转过身来；go on 继续；slow down慢下来。 根据“set off for his home.”可知这个人转身回家了。 38. C as if 好像；so
71、that 引导目的或结果状语从句；as long as “只要”，引导条件状语从句； as well as还有，也。实际上这个人不知道他只要翻过那个斜坡，就能够看到山的另一边了。39. B false 错误的；true真实的；funny逗乐的；important重要的。他所听到的有关那个地方的传说都是真的。根据最后一句话“when things were going to get much better.”可以推断B正确。40. C prepare 准备；agree 同意；choose选择；fail 失败。当事情就要往好的方向发展的时候，这个人选择了放弃。 .1.informed 2.(sho
