Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they cant control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you cant control any of these things. Accept that you cant control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervousthen close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.（1）Who wrote this passage?A . A reporter.B . A sportsman.C . A patient.D . A professor.（2）The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because_.A . most are not very importantB . they are not the real causes of the problemC . they cannot be controlled by peopleD . its better to deal with one cause at a time（3）If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?A . Go swimming often to get used to itB . Avoid going to the swimming pool.C . Find a swimming teacher.D . Imagine watching others swim.（4）What is true about nervousness according to the passage?A . It usually has only one causeB . It is usually caused by peopleC . People can easily manage itD . Most people suffer from it.（5）What is the main purpose of this passage?A . To introduce the writers sports experience.B . To advise on how to deal with nervousnessC . To help people remember their fears.D . To explain the dangers of nervousness.14. （6分） “Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in many parts of the world. That program became one of American exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the countrys pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial (种族的), and geographical group.Although some educators object (反对) to some parts of the program, parents praise (赞扬) it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems come out when first graders who have learnt from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited (受益) from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional (偶尔的) viewers. In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.The programs all use songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate (单独的) letters.Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other childrens shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories (理论) of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of various TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.（1）Which of the following statements is NOT true?A . It is shown at different hours during the weekB . Famous adult stars often appear on it.C . This program has been on for less than forty yearsD . Children learn and enjoy themselves while watching it.（2）Why is “Sesame Street” so popular in the world?A . Because it is supported by the government and businessesB . Because it uses different kinds of skillful tricks.C . Because mothers watch it along with their children.D . Because it makes every child watching it feel able to learn.（3）The best title for this passage can be _.A . Sesame StreetB . Educating ChildrenC . TV ProgramsD . A Great Success四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共16分)15. （16分）任务型阅读When youre a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to.”,someone answers“No, you cant.” Also, no part of your life is safe from the “prying(窥视的) eyes” of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, and what time Im going to be home.” Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? They give us more freedom.Young people further complain that their parents do not respect(尊重) them. When something goes wrong,more parents just dont believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their kids (choose) for themselves. Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat(对待) you like a little child. But remember that not too long ago you were really a child.Your parents still remember those childish mistakes that you used to (make). They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so.So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not lie to them. 尝试一种更友好的方式。If you want them to allow you to stay out late, dont just say, “All the other kids stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where youll be and why its important for you to stay out late. Then they just say “yes” .（1）根据英文释义及首字母提示,拼写单词。a_let, permitm_a wrong opinion, idea or act（2）用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。 （3）同义句转换,每空一词。Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where youll be and why its important for you to stay out late.Tell them_about what you want to do and where youll be and why its important for you to stay out late.（4）请将情态动词can,should,might还原到原文处。_（5）将画线句子翻译成英文。 五、 单词拼写 (共2题；共11分)16. （10分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。Next time you hold a book in your hands, stop and think. Like most other things in the modern world, it is the result of thousands of years of human invention.First, came the invention of writing,_(probable) about 5500 year ago. With writing, people did not have to remember everything in their heads. They could communicate with people that they never _(see) and share their knowledge with future generations.Later, the Greeks were well-done for their
