第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
It’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".
Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically（内在地） motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.
Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image.
Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.
Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are also
more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein,who once said,"It's not that I'm so smart,it's that I stay with problems longer."Obviously,finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding.Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.
1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that_______.
A.shy people are sensitive to rewards B.shy people care more about content
C.outgoing people are more careful about chances D.outgoing people consider what to learn while listening
2.The example of Johnny shows______.
A.shy people are likely to be modest B.hardworking students speak little in public
C.some students keep silent on purpose at school D.shy people may have an advantage in discussion
3.We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that______.
A.shyness results in success B.shyness contributes to popularity

4.The author supports his ideas mainly by______.
A.giving definitions and presenting research results B.explaining problems and providing solutions
C.quoting authorities and making evaluations D.making contrasts and gibing examples
B
“Can’t hold a candle to” is a popular expression.When there wasn’t electricity,someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle.The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant.Now,it means such a person cannot compare or compete.
Another expression is “hold your tongue.”It means to be still and not talk.“Hold your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend.But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.
“Hold out”is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news.It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players “hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.
The expression “hold up” has several different meanings.One is a robbery.A man with a gun may say,“This is a hold up.Give me your money.”Another meaning is to delay.A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work.Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation.A story can hold up if it is proved true.
“Hold on” is another expression,which means wait or stop.As you leave for school,your brother may say,“Hold on,you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.
Our final expression is “hold the line.”That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady.For example,the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes.”He means there will be no increase in taxes.
5.The expression “can’t hold a candle to” can be used when _______.
A.some footballers refuse to play a game B.someone else is wanted on the phone
C.someone is not qualified for a position D.someone was delayed by heavy traffic

C.You can’t even hold a candle to Michael. D.I promise to hold the line on house prices.
C
How can we reduce the risk?
There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic（火山似的）dangers.We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task.We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development.We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.
Removing the Threat
Clearly,there is no way to stop an eruption.We can,however,attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects by strengthening structures,for example,building protective works such as walls to make lava（熔岩）flow away from developed areas.Such efforts can be and have been successful,but are of limited use in a large-scale（范围）eruption.
Planning for the Future
Protecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task.Before building houses,we should judge the risk.If the risk seems too great,a safer location should be found.This type of planning is very effective,but all too often,people are drawn to the lush（葱郁的）,rolling land of a quiet volcano.
Disaster Preparedness（预案）
When a volcano comes to life,a few weeks may not be enough to avoid a tragedy.Planning is the key to saving lives.Well before the warning signs occur,people must be educated about volcanic dangers.Escape plans must be in place.Communication between scientists,officials,the media,and the general public should be practiced.Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.
If you doubt the importance of these efforts,take another look at past volcanic tragedies,such as the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz.Communication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape.When a deadly mudflow came down the slope（斜坡）,21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.
9.The passage is intended for_______.
A.the general public B.architects C.adventurers D.geographers
10.When building houses,people tend to______.
A.judge volcanic dangers carefully B.take volcanic dangers seriously
C.live near a quiet volcano D.find a safer place far away from a volcano
11.The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove______.
A.the failure to keep volcanic dangers from happening B.the importance of preparing for a volcanic eruption
C.the bravery of the people in Armero Town D.the uncertainty of volcano’s damage
D
I was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but us an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15 years,I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.
While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,“I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?”I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,“Any comments or questions?”
Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,“Do you have something to add?”To my amazement,she responded “Yes,thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.
After the session,I asked my colleague,“How do you know that those people had questions?”He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,“It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”
He continued,“In Japan,we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”
I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Since then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.
12.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?
A.Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out. B.The author enjoys traveling around the world.
C.Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author. D.The author may start his own business in the future.
13.Hearing the colleague whispering,the author______.
A.went back to his seat and got seated B.knew his colleague had some questions
C.owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleague D.thought his colleague would get nowhere
14.Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?
A.Japan. B.America. C.Africa. D.France
15.Which is the proper title for the passage?
A.Focusing on Behavior in Cultures. B.Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.
C.Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo. D.Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.

How can we protect and create a harmonious environment?
First of all,we should use proper words,behave politely and think for others.If we want to live and study happily, we should respect teachers,unite other students,and help each other.We should also treat and understand others with more patience.Besides,we should keep schoolyard clean,which helps to make our body healthy.Finally,we need to make efforts to create a family environment full of love and warmth.Often communicating with our parents,we will help them do what we can.
In my opinion,environment protection depends on the efforts made by everyone.
