13、use of much unhappiness for a great many people. shy people are anxious and (11); that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. (12) thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am i making? do they like me? do i sound stupid? am i wearin

14、g (13) clothes? it is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people (14). a persons selfconcept is (15) in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other peoples (16). in general, the way people think about themselves has a (17) effect on all areas of their lives

15、.shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their inferiority.

18、chnical vocabulary. different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. in trades and handicrafts, and other vocations, like farming and fishery, that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary, is very old. it consists la

19、rgely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber of our language. hence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally understood, than most other technicalities. the special dialects of law,

20、medicine, divinity, and philosophy have also, in their older strata, become pretty familiar to cultivated persons and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. yet every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. and the

21、proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts. here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom, and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. most of the new coinag

22、es are confined to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once were, a close guild （行会）. the lawyer, the physician, the man of science, the divine, associated freely with his fellow-creatures, and does not meet t

23、hem in a merely professional way. furthermore, what is called popular science makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it

24、 as in the case of the roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy. thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.21.special words used in technical discussion.a) never last longb) should be confined to scientific fieldsc) may become part of common speechd) are

25、 considered artificial language speech22.it is true that.a) everyone is interested in scientific findingsb) the average man often uses in his own vocabulary what was once technical language not meant for himc) an educated person would be expected to know most technical termsd) various professions an

28、 dark, thick ooze（渗出物，分泌物）from the earthhad been known for hundreds of years. but little use had ever been made of it. in the 1850s samuel m. kier, a manufacturer in western pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepage and refining it into kerosene. refining, like smelting, is a process

29、 of removing impurities from a raw material.kerosene was used to light lamps. it was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. soon there was a large demand for kerosene. people began to search for new supplies of petroleum.the first oil well was drilled by e.l.drake,a reti

30、red railroad conductor.in 1859he began drilling in titusville,pennsylvania.the whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called itdrakes folly.but when he had drilled down about 70 feet(21 meters),drake struck oil.his well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.news of dra

31、kes success brought oil prospectors to the scene. by the early 1860s these wildcatters were drilling for black gold all over western pennsylvania. the boom rivaled the california gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and wild west atmosphere. and it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any

32、gold rush.crude oil could be refined into many products. for some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. it was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. in the 1880s and 1890s refiners learned how to make other products such as waxes and lubricating oils. petroleum was not then used to ma

33、ke gasoline or heating oil.26.according to the passage, many people initially thought that e. l. drake had made a mistake by .a) moving pennsylvaniab) retiring from his jobc) searching for oild) going on a whaling expedition27.according to the passage, what is black gold?a) gold ore b) stolen money

36、d) private property: trespassers will be prosecuted.passage threequestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: for about three centuries we have been doing science, trying science out, using science for the construction of what we call modern civilization. every dispensable item of contempo

37、rary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another series of scientific experiments. three hundred years seems a long time for testing a new approach to human interliving, long enough to settle back for critica

38、l appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. there is an argument. voices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summonin

39、g urgent crowds into the streets any day these days on the issue of nuclear energy. give it back, say some of the voices, it doesnt really work, weve tried it and it doesnt work, go back three hundred years and start again on something else less chancy for the race of man.the principle discoveries i

40、n this century, taking all in all, are the glimpses of the depth of our ignorance about nature. things that used to seem clear and rational, matters of absolute certainty-newtonian mechanics, for example-have slipped through our fingers, and we are left with a new set of gigantic puzzles, cosmic unc

41、ertainties, ambiguities; some of the laws of physics are amended every few years, some are canceled outright, some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of congress. just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the dna molecule

42、 was exposed to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. for a while, things seemed simple and clear, the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reassembling, like a tiny watch. but just in the last few years it has become almost unbeli

43、evably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond todays imagining.it is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do. what lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic research are continued, is much more than the conquest of human disease or the impr

44、ovement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the sea. as we learn more about fundamental processes of living things in general we will learn more about ourselves.31.what can t be inferred from the 1st paragraph?a) scientific experiments in the past three hundred years have p

45、roduced many valuable items.b) for three hundred years there have been people holding hostile attitude toward science.c) modern civilization depends on science so man supports scientific progress unanimously.d) three hundred years is not long enough to settle back critical appraisal of scientific me

46、thod.32.the principle discovery in this century shows .a) man has overthrown newton s laws of physicsb) man has solved a new set of gigantic puzzlesc) man has lost many scientific discoveriesd) man has given up some of the once accepted theories33.now scientists have found in the past few years.a) t

47、he exposure of dna to the public is unnecessaryb) the tiny cell in dna is a neat little machinec) man knows nothing about dnad) man has much to learn about dna34.the writers main purpose in writing the passage is to say that .a) science is just at its beginningb) science has greatly improved mans li

49、buse（毒品滥用）seem to deter some people from using dangerous substances, if such efforts are realistic about what is genuinely dangerous and what is not. observed declines in the use of such drugs as lsd, pcp, and quaaludes since the early 1970s are probably related to increased awareness of the risks o

50、f their use, and some of this awareness was the result of warnings about these drugs in underground papers read by drug users. such sources are influential, because they do not give a simple all drugs are terrible for you message. drug users know there are big variations in danger among drugs, and a

51、ntidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed. this is illustrated by the popularity among young marijuana users of reefer madness, a widely unrealistic propaganda film against marijuana made in the 1930s. this film made the rounds of college campuses in the 1970s and joine

52、d rock music videos on cable televisions mtv in the 1980s. instead of deterring marijuana use, it became a cult（风靡一时的）film among users, many of whom got high to watch it. although persuasion can work for some people if it is balanced and reasonable, other people seem immune to the most reasoned educ

53、ational efforts. millions have started smoking even though the considerable health risks of smoking have been well known and publicized for years. moreover, the usefulness of education lies in primary prevention: prevention of abuse among those who presently have no problem. hence, bomiers contentio

54、n that if the pepsi generation can be persuaded to drink pop wine, they can be persuaded not to drink it while driving is probably not correct, since most drunken driving is done by people who already have significant drinking problems, and hence seem not to be dissuaded even by much stronger measur

55、es such as loss of a drivers license.36.according to the passage, up to now, antidrug education.a) has made all people see the danger of drugsb) has succeeded in dissuading people from using drugsc) has been effective only to a certain degreed) has proved to be a total failure37.the film reefer madn

56、ess mentioned in the passage.a) effectively deterred marijuana useb) was rejected by young marijuana usersc) did not picture the danger of marijuana realisticallyd) was welcomed by marijuana users because it told them how to get high38.the message all drugs are terrible for you is not influential be

57、cause.a) it ignores the fact that drugs vary greatly in dangerb) it gives a false account of the risks of drug usec) some drugs are good for healthd) it does not appear in underground papers39.according to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?a) even balanced and reasonable ant

58、idrug persuasion is influential only to some people.b) most drug users are ignorant of the danger of drugs.c) punishments such as loss of a drivers license do not seem to be an effective way to stop drunken driving.d) primary prevention is a useful principle to be followed in antidrug education.40.the best title for the p
