AI was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone，“ Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are？”At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires，and shouted at the phone，“Yeah! Who do you think you are？Bad telephone ! Bad telephone！”And she swept it into the wastebasket.I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this ! A ll objects in this room — if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go！”Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly，“Honey，you just have to learn how to take control. ”With that, she left the room.After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight，I noticed that something in my mood had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone？Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.21. Why did the author shout at the telephone?A. He was mad at the telephone.B. He was anxious about his wife.C. He was angry with his agent.D.

Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself.I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”Karen PickeringSwimming World Champion“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of work load by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”Kirsten BestPoet & Writer“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then，there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological(心理的) tool.”25. What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about?A. He overcame the shadow of illness to win.B. Specialists offered him medical advice.C. Training helped him defeat his disease.D. Difficulties influenced his career.26. What does Karen Pickering put on top of her diary?A. Her achievements.B. Her daily happenings.C. Her training schedule.D. Her sports career.27. What does the underlined word “distractions” probably refer to?A. Ways that help one to focus.B. Activi ties that turn one’s attention away.C. Words that help one to feel less tense.D. Habits that make it hard for one to relax.28. According to the passage，what do the three people have in common?A. Courage.B. Devotion.C. Hard work.D. Self confidence.CShyness equal losing opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections, but there are ways to make it a thing of the past.When I was fifteen, I was shy. I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say.To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax. This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills. Relaxed socializing(社交) is so pleasurable. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice.Focus your attention away from yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversation, imagine where they might live, and make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about, it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer.Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. Ask questions that require more than a “yes” or “or” response such as “What do you like about this place?” rather than “Do you like this place?” once they have answered, you can use add-on(追加) question s connected with the first such as “What other places do you like in this place?” Next you can express your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going.Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen-year-old self.29. The author didn’t pay attention to what the girl was saying because ________.A. he was shy and nervousB. he was attracted by her appearanceC. her voice was very lowD. he wasn’t interest ed in her topic30. To get rid of your shyness, you could _______.A. pay much attention to yourselfB. learn to talk to others in a relaxed wayC. find a beautiful girl to talk withD. ask people some interesting questions31. We can infer from the text that _______A. girls like to show off their voices in front of boysB. people will notice our appearance if we focus on their looksC. shy people will have no friends unless they change themselvesD. shy people may suffer a lot and may be less happy32. Which of the following questions will the author probably advise us to ask?A. What a lovely day, isn’t it?B. Do you like playing basketball?C. Do you think he will pass the exam?D. Why do you find that English is hard to learn?DScientists have proved that sleeping and learning go hand in hand. Even a short nap can boost our memory and sharpen our thinking. But the relationship goes deeper than that.“The brain is not passive while you sleep,” scientist Anat Arzi said. “It’s quite active. You can do many things while you are asleep.”Arzi and her coworkers didn’t try to teach the sleeping volunteers any complex information, like new words or facts. Instead, the scientists taught volunteers to make new connections between smells and sounds.When we smell something good, like a flower, we take deep breaths. When we smell something bad, we take short breaths. Arzi and her co-workers based their experiment on these reactions.Once the volunteers fell asleep in the lab, the scientists went to work. They gave them a whiff of something pleasant and meanwhile played a particular musical note. They didn’t wake up, but they heard—and sniffed(吸气) deeply. Then the scientists gave the volunteers a whiff of something terrible and played a different musical note. Again, the volunteers heard and smelled—a short snort this time—but didn’t wake up. The researchers repeated the experiment.After just four repetitions, volunteers made a connection between the musical notes and their paired smells. When the scientists played the musical tone that went with good smells, the sleepers breathed deeply. And when the scientists played the musical tone that went with bad smells, the sleepers breathed briefly—despite there being no bad smell.The next day, the volunteers woke up with the sound-smell connection. They breathed deeply when hearing one tone and cut their breaths short when hearing the other, which must have been unusual for them. Imagine walking down the street and taking a deep breath upon hearing a particular sound!33. In the study, the volunteers were taught _______.A. to become active during sleepB. to tell the difference between smellC. to learn new words and scientific factsD. to make sound-smell connections34. How did the volunteers react when smelling something nice and hearing musical notes?A. They took a deep breath.B. They had a wonderful dream.C. They woke up at once.D. They took a short breath.35. The passage mainly tell us______A. special smells and sounds can improve our memory.B. our brain can actually learn something new during the sleep.C. the volunteers will always hear similar sounds in the street.D. our brain can tell the difference between smells during the sleep.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。
