A
Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.
1．This article is most probably written for . A．people in general B．parents C．entertainers D．teenagers 2．The main purpose of the article is to .
A．explain how shyness developed B．suggest ways of dealing with shyness C．persuade readers that shyness is natural D．prove that shyness can be overcome 3．Which of these can you conclude from reading the article?
A．Shy people never have any fun.
B．Entertainers choose their work to fight shyness.
C．The attempt to overcome shyness is always successful. D．The attempt to overcome shyness is always worthwhile.
B
You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle （角度） to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap （摆动）. It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
4．What should you consider first while sailing?
A．Sailors’ strength. B．Wave levels. C．Wind directions. D．Size of sails.
5．What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The boat. B．The wind. C．The sail. D．The angle. 6．What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A．Move in a straight line. B．Allow the sail to flap. C．Lower the sail. D．Tack the boat. 7．Where can you probably find the text? A．In a sports magazine. B．In a science journal. C．In a physics textbook. D．In an official report.
C
Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter （住所） as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelters. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
8．What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?
A．They are often forgotten by their owners. B．They are used to living outdoors. C．They build their own shelters. D．They like to stay in warm places.
9．Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?
A. To know when to bring them inside. B．To keep them from eating bad food. C. To help them find shelters. D．To keep them company. 10．If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may . A．run short of clean water B．dig deep holes for fun C．dirty the snow nearby D．get lost in the wild 11．What is the purpose of this text?
A．To solve a problem. B．To give practical advice. C．To tell an interesting story. D．To present a research result.
D
A farmer had some puppies to sell. He painted a sign advertising them on the edge of his yard.
One day, a little boy came to buy one of the puppies. With a whistle（口哨）, the farmer called, “Here, Dolly!” Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy stood against the fence. His eyes danced with delight.
As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared, something wrong with its legs, doing its best to catch up.
“I want that one,” the little boy said.
The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”
With that, the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so, he showed a steel brace（固定器）running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see, sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”

The seven Cs of a good letter
What is the secret of writing a good letter? Here are two main ones. Don’t try to be fancy. Don’t try to impress your reader. You will be successful if you follow these seven Cs.
Clear. Use short, direct sentences. 16 Talk as if the reader were right there with you.
Above all, don’t use an introduction.
Correct. 17 Don’t guess, even for spelling. Refer to your dictionary. If you need to, check a reference book too. Use them as much as you need to.
Complete. Don’t scatter（使分散） your points. 18 This is good organization too. Courteous （有礼貌的）. Be friendly rather than overly casual. Present your information nicely even if you are complaining about something. In all letters, treat others as you want them to treat you.
Concise （简洁的）. Make each point as clearly and briefly as you can.
Conversational. This is really the secret of good writing. 19 Such a letter has a natural, friendly tone（语调）. Let your personality come through naturally.
Considerate. 20 Write about what you believe the reader needs or wants to know. Try to be helpful. This will build good feeling toward you.
The seven Cs are about writing letters. But how about school papers? Use the seven Cs. Write as if you are talking to your teacher or professor. You’ll be surprised. You’ll almost instantly become a good writer. And you might even enjoy writing from now on.
A．Just “talk” to the person.
B．Think of the reader’s point of view as you write. C．Make them easy to understand. D．Include long sentences in your letter. E．Make sure what you say is correct. F．Writing should not be taken too seriously.

第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分75分）
第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
My mother seemed to be able to make dolls out of anything. She made some dolls for me and my two elder sisters. I 21 playing with them, but still, secretly, I hoped for a store-bought 22 like the one our rich cousin had. Her doll 23 open and close its blue glass eyes and even say “Mamma”. I 24 stopped admiring it and hoping to have one.
However, my dream 25 came true when I was six. One day my father came back from his business trip with three 26 dolls! They were much smaller than our cousin’s doll and their eyes were just painted ones, but I did not 27 such differences. They were 28 “store-bought” dolls. We each chose one and I named 29 Misako.
Soon my sisters and I became devoted 30 . Our “children” kept us 31 all day. We gave them a bath, 32 them, brushed their hair, took them out for a walk and put them to bed. Several months later, they got more like real children — their 33 and bodies became dirtier, their dresses got stained; their hair less smooth.
But, by then, 34 interests seemed to have moved into 35 toys. Their dolls were abandoned and in bad condition. One had 36 one of her arms, and 37 was one-legged. “You can 38 them if you want,” my sisters said to me. Thus, I had 39 dolls. They were more or less handicapped（残疾）and they often looked at me as if they needed me to 40 them. I enjoyed this feeling of being needed — being the only one in the world who could protect them with a lot of love. Indeed, they made the rest of my childhood days very happy.
