People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.
First the person must recognize that there i s a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.
After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.
Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or
sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem : he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.
6. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s Bicycle.
B. Possible Ways to Problem-solving.
C. Necessities of Problem Analysis.
D. Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem.
7. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except .
A. recognize and define the problem
B. look for information to make the problem clearer
C. have suggestions for a possible solution
D. find a solution by trial or mistake
8. By referri ng to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to .
A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle
B. discuss the problems of his bicycle
C. tell us how to solve a problem
D. show us how to analyse a problem
9. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.
B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.
C. People may learn from their past experience.
D. People can not solve some problems they meet.
10. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short〞 means .

C.
Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
''Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm, wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, I can do it! " when others shout, "No, you can't."
It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist 〔遗传学家〕 who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted．Yet she didn't let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she
never thought of stopping.
Author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul".
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can treat it as a part-time interest, like the head of state who paints, the nun(修女) who runs marathons, the official who handcrafts〔手工制做〕 furniture.
We can't afford to waste tears on "might- have-beens". We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after ''what-can-be".
We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses —finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned 〔蜡笔的〕picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts
a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles from our souls.
11. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Find pleasure in what you are doing
B. Wake up your life
C. To give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul
D. No pains, no gains
12. What conclusion does the writer draw through the experience of finding a job?
A. Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.
B. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
C. We can't afford to waste tears on "might- have-beens.
D. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
13. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
A. No one can achieve great success without enthusiasm.
B. Enthusiasm will take a person further than any amount of his experience.
C. We should make great effort to do the thing that can be done instead of regretting for the past.
D. Barbara McClintock was generally accepted many years before she won the Nobel Prize
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase let up ?
A. continue
B. make less effort
C. make great effort
D. stop
15. We can learn from the last paragraph that it
is that makes our life meaningful.
A. love of gardening
B. love of drawing pictures with the crayon of a six-year-old child
C. love of life
D. love of beautiful rainbow
【答案】11. B 12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】

D.
In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments〔装饰〕 and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.
The furniture may often be “antiqu e〞, and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.
The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. One the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.
There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops〞, where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits〔利润〕from these shops go to charity〔慈善事业〕. Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on to another country or to death.
Although the British do not worship〔崇拜〕their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are rebuilt until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.
16. Books found in second-hand book shops may .
A. be copies of the earliest printings
B. be on sale for the first time
C. never be worth very much
D. never be rare
17. What is the small town on the border between England and Wales famous for?
A. Its sheep.
B. Its bookshops.
C. Its cinema.
D. Its castle.
18. Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because .
A. they are too expensive for average buyers
B. they remind you of the original owners
C. they are now forgotten
D. they are sold for charity
19. The average British person .
A. does not respect old things because they are not fashionable
B. likes to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do so
C. likes to buy new things because they are fashionable.
D. does not like to buy things simply because they are fashionable
20. What does the underlined word “them〞 (Paragraph 4) refer to?
A. junk shops
B. profits from shops
C. old things
D. old houses
【答案】16. A 17. B 18. B 19. D 20. C
【解析】

【19题详解】
细节理解题。

从最后一段In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.可知，英国人不会因为这个东西是流行的而且买，选D。

【20题详解】
词义猜想题。

根据第四段Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad;可知这些东西会让你难过，使你想起曾经拥有过它们的人，所以them指的是这些二手商店卖的旧东西，选C。

Shyness May Be Partly Inherited(遗传)
About 92 million Americans are shy, and according to recent research about half of them inherited the trait.
The studies were discussed at the American Psychological Convention.
One study, by Harvard University, was of babies 21- 48 months old. It concluded that these babies had a high heart rate when shown unfamiliar people or different toys.
Although shyness is not new, it has only recently become of interest to researchers. The first study on the genetic connection was in 1979.
According to Warren Jones of the University of Tulsa, social relations these days are more complex. "With less ritual(仪式) and more complex situations," he said, "shyness is a national concern."
Not all shy people are anxious and fearful, according to another study. Evidence shows that only half of shy people are tense, worried, and fearful in social situations.
Many men use shyness as an excuse for failing in social situations, according to C.R. Snyder of the University of Kansas. "This is not true of females. Perhaps, American men are pressured to be assertive(自信的) and successful. So they would rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent."
Shy people may do very well socially after the first meeting with someone. In fact, shy people tend to be more stable.
The psychologists said shyness seems to be cultural. Japan has the highest rating.
China and Israel have the lowest rating. The United States rated in the middle.
21. The word "trait" in the first paragraph means ______
A. way
B. tradition
C. character
D. possession
22. Those babies studied were ______ when they saw unfamiliar people or different toys.
A. tense or fearful
B. calm
C. as usual
D. stable
23. Which of the following statements is Wrong?
A. Researchers began to study shyness when it was known to them.
B. According to Warren Jones, shyness had something to do with social relations
C. Some shy people are anxious and fearful, some not.
D. Shyness can perhaps make people do very well socially.
24. Why would American men rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent 〔无能〕?
A. shyness is usually used as an excuse by them.
B. shyness is a good excuse.
C. females don't use shyness as an excuse.
D. they are under the pressure of social situations.
25. We can learn from this passage that ______
A. shyness is naturally inherited
B. shy people have virtues as well as shortcomings.
C. females don’t use shyness as an excuse
D. which country has shy people.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. A 24. D 25. B
【解析】

【21题详解】
词义猜想题。

根据第一段About 92 million Americans are shy, and according to recent research about half of them inherited the trait.可知，约有9200万HY人害羞，有一

【23题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段Although shyness is not new, it has only recently become of interest to researchers. The first study on the genetic connection was in 1979.可知，害羞不是一个新颖的事情，但是研究人员最近才开场研究，因此不是研究人员都知道了才开场研究害羞，应选A。

【24题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第七段Many men use shyness as an excuse for failing in social situations,以及第八段American men are pressured to be assertive(自信的) and successful. So they would rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent."可知，HY男性承受自信和成功的压力，用害羞作为社会情况失利的借口，因此宁愿说自己害羞也不愿意成认自己无能，应选D。

【25题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第六段Evidence shows that only half of shy people are tense, worried, and fearful in social situations.以及倒数第二段Shy people may do very well socially after the first meeting with someone. In fact, shy people tend to be more stable.可知，害羞的人有缺点，也有优点，应选D。

【解析】
【31题详解】
外面下雨了，人们都在躲雨，等候雨停。

下文母亲的话“We’ll wait until〞也给出了提示。

从后半句看，一些人耐心，一些人有些恼怒，所以不能说大家都在抱怨。

【32题详解】
别的人恼怒，当然因为大自然的突然降雨打乱了他们正常的工作生活节奏。

【33题详解】
雨水冲刷走了世界上的尘土和脏物。

【34题详解】
catch me相当于catch my attention，“引起了我的注意力〞，因为此前我正沉醉于雨水带
来的感受中。

并没有让我恼怒，也谈不上给我留下了很深的印象。

【35题详解】
slow down指雨下得缓和一点，不能说stop a bit，停顿不存在程度上的一点。

此句话和前面说的话一样，所以是重复了一遍。

【37题详解】
小孩子想让母亲一起在雨中走，而母亲又没有容许，所以孩子要拉着母亲的手往外走。

【38题详解】
从女儿的答复“When you were talking 〞可知母亲是问小孩自己是什么时候说那话的。

【39题详解】
假如HY能让小孩的父亲度过这一难关，那么能让他们度过任何“难关〞。

【40题详解】
still一动不动；silent沉默，不出声。

对于小孩的这一天真美妙的愿望，大家显然都事先没有想到，所以都在沉默，并静观下面事情的开展。

【41题详解】
what引导宾语从句，what在句中充当say的宾语，母亲在考虑要和女儿怎么说。

【42题详解】
母亲知道，孩子说出的话，在一些人看来肯定会是有点傻的，因为HY是不存在的，这种愿望只是一种梦想。

dishonest不老实的，欺骗的。

孩子的说法是一种美妙愿望，当然算不上是欺骗。

【43题详解】
母亲不愿破坏孩子的童真，所以表示赞同“你是对的〞，是肯定孩子的话就是自己讲过的话，而不是说孩子聪明。

【44题详解】
run off跑开。

此处强调off，故把这个词提早。

【45题详解】
上文的silent以及下文的smiling，laughing可以看出母女的行为已引起了人们的关注，他们都在看着母女俩在雨中跑。

【46题详解】
从定语从句可知，母女的行为也感染了其他的人，又有几个人也参加她们的行列，在雨中奔跑。

follow跟着。

【47题详解】
all the way一路上。

way和后面的to搭配。

这几个人一边跑一边又叫又笑，很兴奋。

母女的美妙愿望是源于小孩的父亲得癌症了，所以说境况可以带走人们的安康。

【49题详解】
从下文“… make memories every day!〞可知，自己创造的美妙记忆是不会被带走的。

【50题详解】
take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住时机做某事，为固定搭配。

该句的意思是“抓住创造美妙记忆的时机
B.
When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage〔孤儿院〕and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
I remember my first project—a small table. I was so ___51___ of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an) ___52___ . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to ____53____it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a ___54___. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always ___55___ with us.
As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so ___56___and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a ____57____ , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was ___58___it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand ___59___ it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you ____60____to bring this home?〞 she asked.
“No, ma’am,〞 I ___61___ with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was ___62___stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
I hid the table in my closet and never ___63___it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent〔宿管员〕, thinking that she would ___64___it away.。
