You just can't give up．" ‎ ‎（1）How did Whitmore feel when knowing about her cancer？________‎ A. Ashamed and regretful． B. Sad and scared． C. Annoyed and frightened． D. Astonished and inspired．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）What does the underlined word "freak﹣out" in paragraph 3 refer to？________‎ A. Something demanding． B. Something interesting． C. Something unusual． D. Something meaningful．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What's the purpose of Whitmore's traveling as a speaker？________‎ A.To inspire those with limitations．‎ B.To build up her character．‎ C.To spend more time with her children．‎ D.To earn more money in her spare time．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2.     When we're studying a new language,  many of us approach it with fear and anxiety． However,  we would benefit a lot by changing our focus,  according to communication skills trainer Marianna Pascal．     Pascal has spent 20 years in Malaysia helping people speak better English． Over time,  she has discovered a surprising truth:  How well somebody communicates in a new language has very little to do with his language level﹣﹣but a lot more to do with his attitude．     Pascal noticed that a lot of Malaysians went into English conversations with the feeling that they were going to be judged by how many mistakes they were going to make． And they had the idea of what good proper English is supposed to be and how far they would have to go to get there．     As a teacher,  she'd noticed one specific student named Faisal． Despite not knowing much English,  this guy could just sit and listen to anybody very calmly,  clearly,  and then he could express his thoughts beautifully．     Pascal realized when Faisal entered an English conversation,  he didn't feel judged． He entirely focused on the person that he was speaking to and the result he wanted to get． He got no thoughts about his own mistakes．     Pascal believes that speaking a language is not like those exams that many of us had to take in school,  where a tiny spelling or grammar mistake would result in a big red X from the teacher． In the real world,  small mistakes don't matter﹣what matters is whether we're able to make ourselves understood． She concludes,  "If you want to speak English like Faisal with that great confidence,  here's the one thing that you can do when you speak:  Don't focus on yourself,  focus on the other person and the result you want to achieve． ‎ ‎（1）Why was Faisal successful in English conversation according to Pascal？________‎ A.His attitude to speaking English was right．‎ B.His spoken English was quite excellent．‎ C.He and his partner were good friends．‎ D.He made few grammatical mistakes．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）What is the author's attitude to the mistakes English speakers make？________‎ A.Careful． B.Tolerant． C.Grateful． D.Worried．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What should you do if you want to communicate effectively in English？________‎ A.Remember to use a new language．‎ B.Try to express yourself correctly．‎ C.Avoid any mistakes while speaking．‎ D.Concentrate on what the other people say．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎3.     Heat stress from extreme heat and humidity （湿度）will annually affect areas that are now home to 1.2 billion people by 2100,  assuming current greenhouse gas emissions （排放）, according to a Rutgers study．     Most climate studies on projected heat stress have focused too much on extreme heat but did not consider the role of humidity,  which is another key driver． "When we look at the risks of a warmer planet,  we need to pay 第9页 共12页 ◎ 第10页 共12页 ‎ particular attention to the combined effects of extreme heat and humidity,  which are especially dangerous to human health．" said Robert E． Kopp,  director of the Rutgers Institute of Earth,  Ocean,  and Atmospheric Sciences．     Rising global temperatures are increasing exposure to heat stress,  which harms human health． Heat stress is caused by the body's inability to cool down properly through sweating． Body temperature can rise rapidly,  and high temperatures may damage the brain and other vital organs． What't more,  heat stress can result in heatstroke （中暑）, which is the most serious heat﹣related illness,  can kill or cause permanent disability without emergency treatment．     Annual exposure to extreme heat and humidity above safety guidelines will be projected to affect areas that are currently home to about 500 million people,  if the planet warms by 1.5°C and nearly 800 million at 2°C． The planet has already warmed by about 1.2°C above late 19th century levels．     An estimated 1.2 billion people would be affected with 3°C of warming,  as expected by the end of this century under current global policies． That's nearly four times the number of people affected today,  and nearly 12 times the number who were affected in no industrial age． ‎ ‎（1）What can we infer from the first two paragraphs？________‎ A.Exposure to polluted air may cause cancer．‎ B.Many areas will be flooded by the end of 2100．‎ C.Less attention has been paid to the effect of humidity．‎ D.Heat stress makes it harder to forecast the weather．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）What's the harm of high body temperature？________‎ A. Damaging organs．‎ B. Sweating a lot．‎ C. Causing heart﹣attack．‎ D. Leading to high blood pressure．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）How many people are affected by heat stress nowadays？________‎ A. About 500 million． B. About 800 million． C. About 1.2 billion． D. About 300 million．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？________‎ A.Heat stress may affect more people B.How to prevent heat stress C.The combination of heat and humidity D.The earth may get warmer and warmer．‎ 第二节（共1小题； 每小题10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．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ The very idea of selling yourself during a job interview can be slightly afraid or
