They like to talk fairly openly about their families, jobs, and feelings. This is their way to express friendliness and honesty. They like to use phrases such as “Tell it like it is”, and “Get right to the point”. They are trying to say that they do not want to hear only what may be polite or pleasant, but rather they want to know the way things really are or seem to be, as well as a persons real feelings on many matters. Certain kinds of information, however, are shared with only very close friends; do not ask an American about his or her pay, the daily expense（开支）, love affairs, or the age of anyone not nearly your own age. Many people do not like to be asked how much they weigh or details about their marriage, especially at social events.If people start raising eyebrows at you, this may mean your question or conversation is unexpected or may not be in good taste. Sports are often a safe topic conversation, as are jobs or studies.1.Americans _.A. are satisfied with the question about his or her pay or ageB. are interested in asking questions about his shoppingC. wouldnt love to be asked the question about his/her romantic（罗曼蒂克）interestsD. would have difficulty in answering you when you ask his name or age2.If you want to know an Americans weight, you say, “How much do you weigh?”.

Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?Many people are afraid to solve the problem themselves. Dr. Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks its because their self-respect is low. “There is always a superior around a parent, a teacher, a bosswho knows better”.But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people deal with the trouble. They offer a course called A.T. In the A.T. course, people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A.T. course will help the shy person to lose his/her fear. But A.T. uses an even stronger motive（动机）-the need to share. The shy person speaks out in the group because he/she wants to tell how he/she feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more “important” than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.1.The problem the writer talks about is that _.A. some people buy things they dont wantB. some people are afraid to speak up for their rightsC. there are too many superiorsD. some people dont think enough of themselves 2.What is the probable meaning of the word “superior” in the passage?A. 陌生人 B. 上级，长辈 C. 熟人 D. 亲属3.One thing the A.T. course doesnt do is to _.A. share the need of people B. help people overcome their fearC. show people they have a right to be themselves D. help people to speak up even if others suffer1.D 主题考查题 综合全文可知，本文叙述的就是针对很多人不自信从而导致放弃了自己说话的权利的问题进行训练以及训练的结果。2.B 词义猜测题 由第二自然段中的“懂得更多的家长、老师、老板”可知。3.D归纳判断题 选项A、B、C都在A.T.训练教程的涵盖范围；进行这种训练或培训的目的是要人们使用自己的权利而不是给别人造成伤害。 5 The ability to make small talk is of great importance. In fact, many English students are more interested in making effective small talk than knowing correct grammar structures - and rightly so! Small talk gets friendships started and breaks the ice before important business meetings and other events. However, making small talk is not difficult only for English learners, but also for many native speakers of English. And small talk can be especially difficult for some learners because making small talk means talking about almost anything - and that means having a wide vocabulary that can cover most topics. Most English learners have excellent vocabulary in specific areas, but may have difficulties discussing topics they are unfamiliar with because of a lack of appropriate（恰当的）vocabulary. This lack of vocabulary leads to some students blocking. They slow down or stop speaking completely because of a lack of self-confidence.1.The first paragraph is to _.A. show people the importance of small talkB. say knowledge is not importantC. show that ice cannot be broken up without small talkD. start friendships and break the ice2.Which of the following is the right statement according to the passage?A.

Many native speakers of English feel it difficult to make small talk because _.A. they are not familiar with some specific area or topicB. they dont have self-confidence before English learnersC. their vocabulary is not for small talk but for a specific areaD. they are only familiar with some specific area or topic4.Many English students are more interested in effective small talk than grammar structures because _.A. small talk is more difficult than grammar structuresB. it is helpful for their future workC. they have to make friendsD. they need them to kill the time before conferences 1.A作者意图判断题 第一自然段为“果因型”段落。由该段的主题句可知。2.D 归纳判断题 选项A所说的“因为不容易，所以重要”不符合起码的逻辑推理要求；选项B、C和文中的意思几乎相反；选项D是对最后一个自然段的概括。3.A 推断题 以英语作为母语的人词汇不可能仅仅局限于某些特定领域，更不可能见了学英语的外国人不自信。4.B 综合归纳题 由第一自然段中的“交朋友、在重要的商务会议前打破沉默”等可知。 6America is a country on the move. In unheard of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding-and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise.As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.1.It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise .A. are to be further studied B. are self evidentC. are yet to be proved D. are supported by scientific evidence2.A growing interest in sports developed after .A. an increasing number of races were held in American citiesB. research showed their health benefitsC. scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV adsD. people got the message from magazine covers and postage stamps3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.
