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 is 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 referring 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 .‎ ‎ A.in the long run B.in detail C.in a word D.in the end 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 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 “antique”, 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 E.‎ 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. ‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题 2 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。‎ Don’t you just love ice skating every winter?
