Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster? Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test, or your palms（手掌） sweat when its your turn to give your report in front of the class. Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully (欺负人的人) who chooses you. We all have fears sometimes. Thats true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be. Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn. And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard. Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet. Some people even enjoy being a little scared. Thats why they like to watch scary movies. Usually, our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear. However, sometimes this happens when there doesnt seem to be anything to be frightened about. When you feel scared but there doesnt seem to be a clear reason, thats called anxiety. For some kids, the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time. For others, it might appear only at certain times, like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere. For some people, this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do.Tell your parents if your anxiety bees strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do. Your parents can take you to a doctor, who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious. But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself. 21. What does the underlined phrase “get butterflies in your stomach” (Paragraph 1) probably mean? A. Get angry. B. Get nervous. C. Get hurt. D. Get excited. 22. What does the writer want to show in the second paragraph? A. Brave people wont feel fear whatever happens.B. Children are easier to show fear than adults. C. Fear is a sign of being sick and unhealthy. D. Fear can be good to people sometimes. 23. What would be talked about in the next paragraph? A. The great harm fear does to peoples health. B. Who to turn to for help when people feel anxious. C. Some good ways to help people deal with fear. D. What kind of people can easily feel anxious.BMusic for Humans and Humpback Whales (座头鲸)As researchers concluded in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species but also deeply fixed in plex structures of the human brain and is far more ancient than previously suspected. In the articles, researchers present various evidence to show that music-making is at once an original human “business”, and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom. The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of non-human animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices related to the sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song position as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere. For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms (节奏) similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length a few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves (八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals (间隔), rather than moving forward madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio (比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so-called A-B-A form, in which a theme is started, then developed, and then returned to a slightly revised form. Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. “This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in a poem to help them remember plex material,” the researchers write. 24. The underlined words “converge on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _. A. tend to B. refer to C. turn into D. put forward25. Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales? A. They can remember plex materials. B. They can create pleasing patterns of music. C. They can make sounds like drums continuously. D. They can sing along with rhythms of western music. 26. What is the main idea of the article? A. Animals are able to pose and enjoy music like humans. B. Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales. C. Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom. D. Music-making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals. C“Hi there. Hows it going?”“Oh, fine. Fine. How about this weather, huh?”“Well, I guess we can always use the rain.”Whats that? This story? Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know, those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day. Maybe youre waiting for the elevator. Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial(不重要的，琐碎的). Idle chatter about traffic doesnt do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten. But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, “Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion. Its so powerful. It does something to you.” “Every morning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary,” Oliver says, “If I dont make small connection with another person, I cant work.”What causes it? As a rule, youre either trying to force something into your life, or youre using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation.The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time. Take the elevator, for instance. Now theres prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and theres no reason not to start a conversation, but invariably, someone does. “Making conversation in such peaceful social settings”, according to Oliver, “can confirm your territory. Its a way of feeling liked and accepted.”The topics of small talk dont matter. In fact, you dont want anything more taxing than the weather or the traffic. Its non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the rules change quickly when youre with lots of people doing lots of talking.Lets say youre at a party. Now its time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more fortable around you, so you dont look silly standing by the food table alone all night.27. “Small talk”, as interpreted by the author, _.A. has no real function in munication at allB. is usually meaningless and therefore uselessC. is not as idle as it may seem to beD. is restricted to certain topics only28. According to the author, small talk is often used _.A. to invade others private affairsB. to share a secret between close friendsC. to open and maintain channels of municationD. to protect ones own privacy29. Why is small talk described as “non-threatening talk in a threatening situation”?A. It is used by people to encourage those who are confronted (遇到，面对) with danger.B. It is used to show that one is enthusiastic and hospitable.C. It is used to create a more friendly atmosphere and to avoid embarrassment.D. It is used by people to protect others in the threatening situation.30. According to the author, at a big party, small talk is used with the purpose of _.A. making both others and yourself feel at easeB. excluding those you dont like from joining you.C. keeping your voice low so only your friends can hear you.D. forting those who feel lonely第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) From now on, never spend your limited time thinking of reasons for you failures and weaknesses.

After hearing that, all students were seated and waited for the test to begin. The professor gave the test papers to all students with the text _71_ (face) down at the desk. Once he handed out the test papers to all students, he asked them to turn the test pages and begin.Students were confused to see there was not a question _72_ just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor noticed that the students felt _ 73 _ (puzzle) and told them, “I want you to write about what you see there.”The students were even _74_ (confused) but started the test by then. At the end of the class, the professor took all answer sheets and started reading each answer in front of all students. All of them described about the black dot, _75_ position they tried to explain. After the professor finished reading, the whole class was silent.The professor explained, “Dont worry. I am not going to give you grades but I just want you to ask _ 76_ (you) something. Here everyone focused on the black dot but no one wrote about the white paper, and the same is with our lives. The white paper represents our whole life and the black spot represents problems in our life. _77_ our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, we have every reason to celebrate. Still we just focus on problems like health issues, problems in relationships etc., but we never see these problems are very small pared with _78_ we have in our lives.” So there is the moral lesson: we should try to take eyes _79_ our problems and enjoy each moment that life _80_ (give) us. Be happy and live the life positively.第七部分任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，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：请将答
