People who speak or perform before the public sometimes may suffer from "Stage Fright". Stage fright makes a person nervous. In that case, it can make one's mind go lank and forget 36
one ought to say, or to act. Actors, musicians, dancers, lawyers, even radio show hosts suffered from stage fright at one time or 37 .
Diana Nichols is an expert in helping people free from stage fright at a medical center in New York City. She helps actors learn to 38themselves. Miss Nichols says some people have always been afraid to perform before the audience. Others, she says, develop stage fright after a(n)tearful experience.
She offers them ways to control the fear. One way is to smile 39 going onto the stage.
Taking two deep breaths also helps. Deep breathing helps you 40 control of your body.
Miss Nichols persuades her patients to tell themselves that their speech or performance does not have to be41 . It's all right to make a mistake. She tells them they should not be too nervous while they are performing. It is important that they should continue to perform while she is telling them. After each performance, they discuss what happened and find out what42 helped and what did not. As they perform more and more, they will fear less and less as much as 50%. Miss Nichols says the aim is only to reduce stage fright, not to smooth it away 43. This is 44 a little stage fright makes a person more careful, and 45the performance.

III. Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of an unfavorable trade balance with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $25 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $10 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit（贸易逆差）is $15 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods.
One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is a reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in U.S. industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and material costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries.
46. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Some worldwide economic problems.
B. The cause and consequences of trade deficit.
C. Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries.
D. High labor and material costs in developed countries
47. According to the passage, a trade imbalance occurs when ________.
A. a country is facing serious financial problems
B. a country buys more from other countries than it sells overseas
C. the value of a country’s exports is greater than that of its imports
D. products imported are more expensive than those exported
48. Many underdeveloped countries have trade deficits because ________.
A. they failed to meet debt payments
B. they export most of their natural resources to other countries
C. they borrow too much money from other countries
D. they have to import most of their manufactured products
49. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance?
A. The flow of currency out of the country.
B. Low labor and material costs in Asian countries.
C. Lack of natural resources.
D. An undeveloped industrial base.
50. It can be inferred from this passage that American industries ________.
A. do not pay their workers sufficiently
B. are hurt by a trade imbalance
C. imported labor and material from abroad
D. are able to prevent a trade deficit
IV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.
1.Man’s knowledge about himself and nature has grown into a variety of sciences.
人类对自身和大自然的认识已经发展成为了各种各样的科学。
2.If the American offered dollars in payment for the car, the auto manufacturer would be stuck
with money that no small Japanese shop would accept.
如果美国人用美元支付买车款，那么美元就会停滞在汽车制造商手中，因为没有哪个日本的小商店会接受美元。
3.At the same time we are using up our natural resources—fuels and mineral ores—at an
ever-increasing rate with no hope of replacing them.
与此同时，我们正以不断增长的速度用尽我们的自然资源——燃料和矿藏，而这些资源是无望取代的。
4.At times, the crews could work only three hours a day because their activities interfered with
the running of the subway.
有时候，因为工作经常被运行的地铁干扰，工作人员每天只能干三个小时。
5.What happened yesterday proved him to be a highly competent and efficient secretary.
昨天发生的事，证明他是一个非常有能力和高效率的秘书。
V. Translate the following sentences into English.
1.无论你将从事哪一门自然科学的研究，对基本化学知识的了解都是十分必要的。(discipline,
pursue)
No matter which discipline of natural science you will pursue, it is necessary for you to learn the basic knowledge in chemistry.
2.他专门从事进出口贸易。
He specializes in foreign trade
3.作为生态环境的一部分，人类对自然环境的破坏无异于是在毁灭自己。
As a part of the ecological environment，by damaging the natural environment，man is doing nothing else than destroying himself.
4.前面堵车了，我们只能绕道而行。
5.There is a traffic jam in front of us, so we have to take a detour
6.骄必败。
pride goes before a fall

Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Animals react to the changing seasons with changes in mood and behavior and human beings are no exception. Most people find they eat and sleep slightly more in winter and dislike the dark mornings and short days. For some, however, symptoms (症状) are severe enough to damage their lives and to cause considerable stress. These people are suffering from SAD. The symptoms tend to start from around September each year lasting until April, but are at their worst in the darkest months. The standard figure says that around 2% of people in Northern Europe suffer badly, with many more (10%) putting up with milder symptoms. Across the world the incidence (发生率) increases with distance from the equator (赤道), except where there is snow on the ground, when it becomes less common. More women than men are found having SAD. Children and young people can also suffer from it. The problem stems from the lack of bright light in winter. Researchers have proved that bright light makes a difference to the brain chemistry, although the exact means by which sufferers are affected is not yet known. As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every day by using a lightbox or a similar bright treatment. (Going to a brightly-lit climate, whether skiing or somewhere hot, is indeed a cure). The preferred level

The magic beans will ward off skin cancer and Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症), reduce heart failure and diabetes（糖尿病） risks, heighten focus, and maybe even protect liver health. Oh, and decrease suicide risk, according to the newest study that validates our coffee addictions. According to a study performed by the Harvard School of Public Health and published this month in The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry, people who drink two to four cups of java each day are less likely to commit suicide than those who don’t drink coffee, drink decaf, or drink fewer than two cups each day. The study followed over 200,000 people for at least 16 years. And it’s not just a weak link: the researchers found that the suicide risk was cut by around 50 percent for coffee addicts.
