Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?‎ It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person’s self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.‎ Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing ＂the right thing＂. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: ＂You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.＂ It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.‎ Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-respect. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.‎ ‎36. The first paragraph is mainly about ____________.‎ A. the cause of shyness B. the effect of shyness on people C. the feelings of shy people D. the questions in the minds of shy people ‎37. According to the writer, self-awareness is ____________.‎ A. harmful to people B. a weak point of people C. the cause of unhappiness D. a good characteristic ‎38. What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?‎ A. They are pleased by it.‎ B. They feel it is not true.‎ C. They are very sensitive to it.‎ D. They feel they are worthy of it.‎ ‎39. We can learn from the passage that shyness ____________.‎ A. blocks our chances for a successful life B. helps us to live up to our full development C. enables us to understand ourselves better D. has nothing to do with lack of self-respect ‎【答案】36. B 37. D 38. B 39. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文是说明文。本文主要讲了害羞的负面影响以及针对如何克服害羞这个问题提出了一些建议。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段的Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much.( 害羞对大多数人来说是很多不幸的源头。害羞的人通常很紧张而且害羞的。他们十分关注自己的外貌和行为。脑袋里总是担心这担心那)可知，第一自然段主要讲了胆怯对人们的影响，故选B。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段的It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.( 很明显，虽然自我意识是一种健康的品质，但过度是有害的)可知，自我意识是好特性。故选D。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段的A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one:“You’re just saying that to make me feel good .I know it's not true.”，可知一个害羞的人可能会用这样的陈述来回应表扬：“你这样说只是为了让我感觉良好，我知道这不是真的。”因此可知，害羞的人对表扬的反应是，他们感觉不是真实的。故选B。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一句The better we understand ourselves. the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.( 越了解自己，越能充分发挥自己的潜能。不要让害羞阻挡我们追求丰富圆满的生活)可知，害羞会阻挡我们实现富有、成功生活的机会。故选A。‎ B July 27th, 2010 was a typical English summer’s day—it rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. ‎ At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that. ‎ Although our situation was very hard, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought, “We didn’t have a straw hut (茅草房) that was swept away, and our house is still standing. We’re lucky.”‎ We moved back home in August. With December coming, there’s still reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can’t wait—I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won’t need any gifts—living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush—we have our home back, and that’s the main thing.‎ ‎40. The underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph means　　　.‎ A. wrong B. missing C. right D. difficult ‎41. Why does the author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph?‎ A. Because they were able to move to a new place.‎ B. Because many other places were flooded.‎ C. Because their straw hut was not swept away.‎ D. Because some others suffered even more.‎ ‎42. It can be inferred from the text that the author　　　.‎ A. was sick of staying upstairs B. cared much about her children C. could not stand living in a wooden house D. did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood ‎43. What does the author mainly want to express by telling her story?‎ A. She valued human feelings more than before.‎ B. She realized she almost didn’t need possessions.‎ C. She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed.‎ D. She thought her own home was the most important.‎ ‎【答案】40. A 41. D 42. B 43. A ‎【解析】‎ 文章是记叙文。主要描述了作者经历洪水之后搬家，搬家后更加怀念以前的邻居。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。由第一段“As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house.像往常一样，我在中午下班冲回家查看房子。根据语境可知作者回家去查看证实一切都正常，由于主语是nothing，所以这里是没什么不对。故选A项。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 细节理解题。作者提到I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought ,“We didn’t have a straw hut(茅草房)that was swept away , and our house is still sanding . We’re lucky .” 我看了关于在印度北部洪水的新闻报道，我认为,“我们没有被冲走的稻草小屋，并且我们的房子仍然在。我们很幸运。”所以这里是其他人遭受地更多，所以我们很幸运。故选D项。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段“Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. We didn’t want to move the children out of home,‎ ‎ so we camped upstairs.” 幸亏孩子们没和我在一起，因为房子里的水有5英尺深。楼下的东西都没有了，我们不想把孩子们从家里移出去，所以就在楼上宿营。由此判断出作者很关心孩子。故选B项。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段“What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that. ” 最让我惊讶的是我是多么怀念成为社区的一员。我们住在一个友好的村庄，邻居都很好，我从来没有想过我会多么想念他们。作者提到在小木屋中生活一段时间后很怀念原来的邻居和社区，以及最后一段话中还讲到要举行舞会来感激朋友们对自己的帮助等事实可以判断出作者比之前更重视情感。故选D项。‎ C Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance.‎ Yoga（瑜伽） is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar fascitis in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it.‎ Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K.I.S.S. Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses. ‎ Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension.‎ Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all ‎ religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.‎ ‎44. What would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. What’s Yoga? B. How I Do Yoga Poses C. The Benefits of Yoga D. The Varieties of Yoga ‎45. According to the third paragraph, yoga can help people __________.‎ A. grow taller B. lose weight C. become flexible in thinking D. make more friends ‎46. People feel tired after yoga because __________.‎ A. they consume energy in practicing yoga B. they respond well to yoga poses C. they spend too much time on yoga D. they force themselves into yoga poses ‎47. If s passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph?‎ A. Yoga as a means to keep fit. B. Different yoga poses.‎ C. Popularity of yoga all over the world. D. Encouraging people to do yoga.‎ ‎【答案】44. C 45. B 46. D 47. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述的是练习瑜伽对我们的身体和精神的很多好处。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段Yoga（瑜伽） is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance.（瑜伽是一种古老的练习，有助于创造一种身心合一的感觉。它给我们带来平衡。）和第三段Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat.（瑜伽成为你身体生活的一部分。当你从一个姿势转换到另一个姿势时，你的身体会变得更强壮、更结实、更灵活。我在墨西哥的一个瑜伽静修处待了一周）可知本文作者主要讲述的是瑜伽对身体的诸多好处，建议我们多做瑜伽来锻炼身体。所以这篇文章最好的题目是“瑜伽的好处”。故C正确。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第三段I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight.（我在墨西哥的一个瑜伽休养所待了一个星期，这是我第一个减肥的假期。）可知瑜伽可以帮助我们减肥。故B正确。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第四段If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses.（如果你在练完瑜伽后感到累了，这意味着你花了时间和自己“斗争”，试图强迫自己摆出各种姿势。）可知人们练完瑜伽后会感到疲劳，是因为她们强迫自己做瑜伽姿势。故D正确。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 推理判断题。本文主要讲述的是瑜伽给我们的生活带来了很多好处，无论是身体还是精神上都是好处多多。接下来应该是鼓励人们做瑜伽。故D正确。‎ ‎ ‎ D A research by the National Center for Health Statistics is seen as an important confirmation of the “Hispanic mortality paradox (西班牙裔死亡率悖论).”‎ On average, Hispanics outlive whites by 2.5 years and blacks by 7.7 years. Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population. ‎ The report shows that the Hispanic population has higher life expectancy at birth and at almost every age despite a socioeconomic status lower than that of whites. “Mortality is very correlated with income, education and health care access,” says Elizabeth Arias, author of the report. “You would expect the Hispanic population would have higher mortality, in line with the black population.”‎ The Hispanic paradox has been documented for more than two decades, but this is the first time the government has had enough data to issue national numbers. Researchers are struggling to explain why Hispanics live longer. ‎ ‎“We don’t know,” says David Hayes-Bautista, director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. “We thought it was a problem in the data, but we can pretty much say this is real.”‎ Potential factors: ‎ ‎·Culture and lifestyle. Support from extended family and lower rates of smoking and drinking. Latino groups in particular have very strong family and social ties. ‎ ‎·Migration. The “healthy migrant effect” argues that healthy people are more likely to emigrate. And when immigrants become ill, they might return home and die there. ‎ ‎“Solving the puzzle may help the nation deal with health care issues because Hispanics use health services less—they make fewer doctors visits and spend less time in hospitals,” Hayes Bautista says. “It’s clearly something in the Latino culture,” he says.‎ ‎48. In 2006, Hispanics’ life expectancy is years longer than the average of the total population.‎ A. 2. 5 B. 7. 7 C. 2. 9 D. 80. 6‎ ‎49. What does the underlined word “outlive” in the second paragraph probably mean?‎ A. To live longer than. ‎ B. To live shorter than. ‎ C. To die out.‎ D. To expect to live.‎ ‎50. What is the main idea of paragraph three?‎ A. Hispanics were born better than whites.‎ B. Morality is closely related with health care access.‎ C. Whites should have longer life expectancy.‎ D. Even experts can’t explain the phenomenon ‎【答案】48. C 49. A 50. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了西班牙裔死亡率悖论，即尽管社会经济地位低于白人，西班牙裔人寿命更长。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 细节理解题。有第二段中的“Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population.”（2006年，他们出生时的预期寿命为80.6岁，而白人为78.1岁，黑人为72.9岁，总人口平均寿命为77.7岁。）可知80.6岁-77.7岁=2.9岁，西班牙裔预期寿命比总人口的平均值长了2.9年。故选C项。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。由第二段“On average, Hispanics outlive whites by 2.5 years and blacks by 7.7 years. Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population.”（平均来说，西班牙裔比白人多活2.5年，比黑人多活7.7年。2006年，他们出生时的预期寿命为80.6岁，而白人为78.1岁，黑人为72.9岁，总人口为77.7岁。）可知西班牙裔比白人活得久，outlive在此处意为“To live longer than”。故选A项。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。由第三段“The report shows that the Hispanic population has higher life expectancy at birth and at almost every age despite a socioeconomic status lower than that of whites. “Mortality is very correlated with income, education and health care access,” says Elizabeth Arias, author of the report. “You would expect the Hispanic population would have higher mortality, in line with the black population.””（报告显示，西班牙裔人口在出生时和几乎每个年龄段都有较高的预期寿命，尽管社会经济地位低于白人。该报告的作者伊丽莎白·阿里亚斯说：“死亡率与收入、教育和医疗保健机会密切相关。”“你会认为西班牙裔人口的死亡率会更高，与黑人人口一样。”）可知西班牙裔人口的死亡率会与黑人人口一样，但事实是西班牙裔人口拥有更长的寿命，报告作者也弄不明白了，可推断出第三段主要讲即使是专家也无法解释这种现象。故选D项。‎ 第四部分　任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。‎ Count your blessings (祝福), we’re told, but it’s just not in our nature. We’d rather count our problems. We’re so used to focusing on bad news that we tend to pay no attention to what’s going well. As soon as we solve one problem, we take the progress for granted and find a new cause for alarm. Every now and again it doesn’t hurt to think how good we have it. Start counting: ‎ ‎1. Free time ‎ As much as we complain about being busy, the typical American has more free time than ‎ ever—more than five hours per day. If you feel too busy, it’s probably only because you’re doing so many other things than work. Experts say there’ll be even more free time in the future. ‎ ‎2. Peace ‎ Wars and terrorist attacks will always make headlines, but it’s remarkable how many of the world’s 6. 7 billion people now live in peace. In recent decades, though the population has been growing, the number of wars around the world has declined. ‎ In some earlier generations a quarter of the male population died violent deaths. Over the past century, even counting the world wars, a person’s chance of dying from war was less than 2 percent. ‎ ‎3. American dream ‎ While some people are struggling to keep their homes, the vast majority of Americans still have plenty to be thankful for when they walk through the front door. In 1950 the typical new American house had one floor with 1,000 square feet, two bedrooms, and one bathroom—and even that bungalow was beyond many people’s means. Today, more than two thirds of Americans own their homes, and the typical new house has two floors, at least three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and more than 2, 200 square feet of space for the family. ‎ ‎4. The reader’s revolution ‎ In 1970 barely half the people in the world were literate, and many of them could afford only a few books. Today, more than 80 percent of the world’s people can read, and 22 percent have access to the greatest library in history. The Web provides classic books and reference works free of charge. ‎ ‎5. More wilderness ‎ Once you travel beyond the cities, you’ll find plenty of open space and peaceful forests. Many of the woodlands cleared by settlers have returned now that the land is no longer needed for agriculture. ‎ ‎6. The modern cars ‎ Cars give off greenhouse gases and create maddening traffic jams, but consider what else they do. Compared with the models on the road in 1970, today’s cars burn less gasoline per mile and emit 98 percent fewer pollutants. That’s why, despite the doubling of the number of cars, there’s much less smog in the air. The basic car today offers more comforts and safety than the luxury (豪华) cars of old. ‎ Title Six reasons to be thankful Problems We tend to focus on our problems and ___51___what’s going well. ‎ Even with problems solved immediately, we still ___52___ourselves with a new course. ‎ The blessings we should count Today Americans have more free ___53___than ever. ‎ The number of people dying of wars has declined despite the ___54___in population. ‎ Owing a two-floor house with at least 3 bedrooms has been within the ___55___of most Americans today. ‎ More reading materials are ___56___to readers and more than 80% can read. ‎ More land for agriculture has made ___57___for wood lands. ‎ Modern cars produce less pollution and are more ___58___. ‎ The basic cars are much ___59___and more ____60____. ‎ ‎【答案】51. ignore 52. alarm 53. time 54. growth 55. reach ‎ ‎56. available 57. way 58. efficient 59. safer 60. comfortable ‎【解析】‎ 本文为议论文。我们太习惯于关注坏消息，以至于我们往往忽略了什么是好的。有时候细数一下我们所拥有的福祉是一件很美好的事情。‎ ‎【51题详解】‎ 考查细节理解能力。根据第一段We’re so used to focusing on bad news that we tend to pay no attention to what’s going well(我们太习惯于关注坏消息，以至于我们往往忽略了什么是好的)可知，该空处意为“忽视/不在意 (pay no attention to) ”，故填ignore。‎ ‎【52题详解】‎ 考查细节理解能力。根据第一段As soon as we solve one problem, we take the progress for granted and find a new cause for alarm(一旦我们解决了一个问题，我们就会想当然地认为这是理所当然的，然后去发现新的问题)可知，即使问题立即得到解决，我们仍然用一个新的问题来警醒自己，alarm oneself with something意为“警示自己某事”，故填alarm。‎ ‎【53题详解】‎ 考查细节理解能力。根据As much as we complain about being busy, the typical American has more free time than ever—more than five hours per day(尽管我们总是抱怨自己很忙，但典型的美国人每天的空闲时间却比以往任何时候都多——超过5个小时).可知，今天的美国人比以往任何时候都有更多的空闲时间。故填time。‎ ‎【54题详解】‎ 考查细节理解能力。根据In recent decades, though the population has been growing, the number of wars around the world has declined(近几十年来，尽管人口一直在增长，但世界各地的战争数量却在下降)可知，尽管人口的增长，但死于战争的人数已经下降，despite 后跟名词形式，故填growth。‎ ‎【55题详解】‎ 考查推理理解能力。Today, more than two thirds of Americans own their homes, and the typical ‎ new house has two floors, at least three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and more than 2, 200 square feet of space for the family(如今，超过三分之二的美国人拥有自己的房子，典型的新房子有两层楼，至少三间卧室，两间半浴室，拥有超过2200平方英尺的空间)可知，拥有一幢至少有三间卧室的两层房子，现在已经是大多数美国人都能买得起的了。within the reach of意为“在…力所能及的范围之内”，故填reach。‎ ‎56题详解】‎ 考查推理理解能力。根据Today, more than 80 percent of the world’s people can read, and 22 percent have access to the greatest library in history.
