may be time for a few lessons in self confidence You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists Make a decision not to hold back in conversations What you have to say is just as important as what other people say And don t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness Prepare for yourself for being with others in groups Make a list of the good qualities you have Then make a list of ideas experiences and skills you would like to share with other people I think about what you would like to say in advance Then say it If you start feeling self conscious in a group take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people Remember you are not alone Other people are concerned about the impression they are making too No one ever gets over being shy completely but most people do learn to live with their shyness Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know about you 41 Where would this article probably appear A In a popular magazine B On the top line position of a newspaper C In a science textbook D In an encyclopedia 百科全书 42 The main purpose of the article is to A explain how shyness developed B recommend ways of dealing with shyness C persuade readers that shyness is natural D prove that shyness can be overcome 43 Which of these can you conclude from reading the article A Shy people never have any fun B Entertainers choose their work to fight shyness C The attempt to overcome shyness is always frustrating 用心 爱心 专心4 D The attempt to overcome shyness is always rewarding 44 Who probably gives the suggestion for fighting shyness A The author of the article B Shy men and women C Doctors and psychologists D Popular entertainers B To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence The answer to this question may lie in a newly developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet If you ran into Smarter Child online you would be surprised at this kid s huge memory It can recite many facts For example Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US However if you ask Smarter Child other questions you get strange answers A question about Smarter Child s age returns One year 11 days 16 hours 7 minutes and 47 seconds Asking where he lives gets In a clean room in a high tech building in California Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank To answer questions about spelling for instance Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online For the weather he visits Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet an artificial 人工的 being with the combined knowledge of say Albert Einstein Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born However if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy computer David in the movie A I Artificial Intelligence he must solve two problems The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files 文件 are sorted in different ways That s why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process 处理 information more exactly and faster than any human he lacks common sense a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child 45 From the text we can infer that is a website A which is specially designed to help Smarter Child B where we people can find Smarter Child C where weather forecasts are made D which is about artificial intelligence 46 It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to A tell us how to spell a difficult word B tell us how the American government is run C provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare D learn the ability to tell right behaviors from wrong ones 47 Which of the following is TRUE according to the text A Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information B A I Artificial Intelligence is probably the name of a film about a boy computer C Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own 用心 爱心 专心5 D We have similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein Nixon and Spears 48 Which of the following is the best title for the passage A A New Web Child B Smarter Child C The Future of Internet D Intelligence Development C Nothing can destroy a vacation quicker than losing your money or credit cards A few simple steps before you head out of the door can help protect your cash card and personal information while you re traveling Paul Stephens a policy analyst San Diego notes that people spend a lot of time planning their trips from buying guidebooks to finding just the right beach outfits 装备 But their eyes glaze 呆滞 over when the subject of keeping money safe comes up he said Why not take a few minutes to do something that could probably save your vacation Stephens asked In most cases they can go on your to do list with buy travel bags and everything else he added The top recommendation is to clean your wallet Remove unnecessary credit cards and any other unneeded documents that could compromise 危及 的安全 your identity 身份 if lost or stolen while you re on vocation Then make a photocopy of the cards you ve decided to take along and keep it in a secure location with you not in your wallet or leave it with a trusted relative or friend back home Then you will know who you need to contact and how to reach it if your wallet is missing Travelers should never leave their wallets or any identifying documents in their hotel room when they re not there he said Choose a hotel with a safe to keep your valuable things in Or keep your wallet and documents with you at all times 49 According to passage can destroy one s vacation the most quickly A being lost on vacation B losing money or credit cards C living in a bad hotel D losing contact with family 50 What does the underlined word stand for A The people who are going traveling B The outfits that are prepare4d for traveling C The suggestions on

专心6 B people should take a lot of money with them while traveling C people can leave their identifying documents in rooms if the hotel is expensive D people can spend a few minutes preparing the luggage for travelling D While many modern forms of communication like phone calls e mail and letters are extremely convenient In my opinion nothing beats speaking to another person face to face The first and most obvious advantage that a face communication has over a letter and e mail is that there is the ability to interactively 相互作用地 converse If the sender of a letter or an email does not write clearly then much time must be spent to clear up the misunderstanding In a face to face conversation misunderstandings are easily dealt with because of the interactive nature of it I would still argue that the face to face conversation is better because you can see the other person Not all communication is verbal 口头的 the meaning of much of what we say depends on our body language and the tone of voice Joking and irony are particularly difficult to express and enjoy without seeing the expression on someone s face or watching the movements of their body Finally if the goal of communication is to maintain or deepen the relationship 关系 with someone the face to face communication offers the choice of communication by touch even if we could communicate by the video Trust and respect between business partners can be established with a firm handshake No amount of body language can convey the excitement of a high five between friends and no number of words can communicate the comforting embrace of a loved one Touch is the first basic method of our human relationships before spoken language and it is only available when people communicate face to face 54 Which of the following is the best title for the passage A How to communicate more effectively 有效率地 B The importance of using body language in communication C Face to face communication the best way of communicating D Comparison 比较 of different communication forms 55 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage A A letter or e mail is always written unclearly B Business partners can show trust through a firm handshake C During a conversation body language is also important D The face to face conversation is a way of communication 56 Which of the following can communicate the feeling a loved one perfectly A letter B e mail C phone D face to face communication 57 The author s attitude towards forms of communication is A Modern forms of communication like phone calls and e mail are extremely convenient B Traditional ways of communication are out of date and should fall into disuse C Face to face communication can only be used among strangers D Face to face communication has advantages over the other ways of communication E 用心 爱心 专心7 Down to earth means being honest open and easy to deal with It is a pleasure to find someone who is down to earth A person who is down to earth is easy to talk to He or she accepts others as equals A down to earth person may be an important member of society of course but they do not let their importance go to their heads and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important Someone who is filled with self importance and pride often without cause is said to have his nose in the air There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down to earth Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down to earth The expression is both feet on the ground Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality He has what is called common sense He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality sharp words from the teacher for example can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground The person who is down to earth usually has both feet on the ground But the opposite is not always true Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down to earth When we have both our feet firmly on the ground we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others and our lives are like the ground below us solid and strong 58 If a person has his nose in the air he A is down to the earth B is easy to deal with C always thinks he is more important than others D is confident 59 If a person has both feet on the ground he A is in touch with reality and doesn t have any dreams B has some dreams but he is realistic C is honest open and easy to deal with D is honest open but hard to deal with 60 The underlined sentence But the opposite is not always true most probably means that A the person who has his nose in the air is not true B a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent C the opposite direction is always wrong D a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down to earth 第二节 根据对话内容 从对话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 Oh I have
