“your basic personality is fixed by the time youre 21,” says gill, “but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. if you didnt have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. but trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. i think its why were seeing this trend for downshifting too many people trying to fit in to a type that they arent really suited for.”our interest in personality now exists in every part of our lives. if you ask an expert for advice on anything, youll probably be quizzed about your personality. but if personality tests have any value to us, perhaps it is to free us from the idea that all of us are full of potential, and remind us of what we are. as they say in one test when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not the one you wish you were.32. the myers-briggs type indicator is based on the belief that _.a. personality is largely decided from birthb. certain personality traits are commonc. some personality types are better than othersd. personality traits are various from time to time33. according to dr. gill, what is the problem with personality tests?a. the results could be opposite to what employers want.b. people can easily lie about their true abilities.c. employers often find the results unclear.d. they may have a negative effect on takers.34. in dr. gills view, how easy is it to change your personality?a. its possible in your adult life.b. its easy if you have great motivation.c. its unlikely because it requires much energy.d. its difficult before the age of 21.35. what final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests?a. they are of doubtful value to employers.b. they are not really worth doing.c. they can strengthen the idea we have of our abilities. d. they may encourage greater realism. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 if something that youre doing doesnt challenge you, then it doesnt change youwe all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 36 so challenge the following limits: 1. figure out what youre scared of and do it continuously if youre a salesman, and youre scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking youll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call 37 but dont stop on the first try! eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “go on, im not scared!” 2 38 make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing thissome examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so onapart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income 3. set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise 39 a simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders foryourself. exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself 4. travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people dont just limit yourself to your fellow travelers - try to connect with the service staffyou never know what kind of people theyre going to beget out of your house or go online right now to book your class 40 a. you should do it continuouslyb. someone may hang up on youc. you dont need to go to the gymd. running in the gym may be a better choicee. start to travel now and learn to challenge yourselff. take a class for a hobby youve been wanting to developg. you can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone第三部分：完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。i was in the fifth grade when i first dipped my fingers into the endless ocean of expression and allowed my hands to grow a(n) 41 .i remember my hands being sweaty as i wandered 42 into her classroom. from corner to corner, the 43 were decorated with clippings (剪报）and posters a 44 deafness and american sign language. pictures of 45 hands hung from the bulletin boards (宣传牌）.once the rest of my classmates 46 in their seats, she began. she did not speak. her hands 47 about gracefully as she signed, “hello. my name i
