Obviously，it is such a（n）（4）D feeling that people must be affected unfavorably．A person's self concept is reflected in the way he or she（5）A and affects other people's attitudes towards him or her．In general，the way people think about themselves has a deep influence on all areas of their lives．Shy people，with low self-esteem（自尊），are likely to be passive and easily（6）D by others．They need reassurance that they are doing"the（7）C thing"．Shy people are very（8）A to criticism．It makes them feel inferior（低人一等）．They also find it difficult to be（9）C by pleasing words because they believe they are unworthy of it．A shy person may respond to a（n）（10）D with a statement like this one："You're just saying that to make me feel good．I know it's not true．"
It is clear that，while self-awareness is a （n）（11）A quality，overdoing it is harmful．Can shyness be（12）B got rid of，or at least reduced？Fortunately，people can make it with determination．It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their（13）B   and remember that it is （14）D for them to label themselves inferior because each individual is（15）A and has his or her own characteristics．

解答 1-5 BCBDA     6-10  DCACD     11-15  ABBDA
1．B．考查名词的词义辨析．由开头一句Shyness can make people feel awkward，worried or tense on social occasions可知，害羞是导致许多人感到不安的原因；故选B．
2．C．考查形容词的词义辨析．本空是和后面的self-conscious（扭捏的，不自然的，有自我意识的）相似的一个词，用来描述害羞的人的特点，所以结合选项可知，应该是anxious，紧张的；故选C．
3．B．考查名词的词义辨析．that is是对前面一句话的进一步解释，根据后面的自我反问"Am I wearing unattractive clothes？"说明害羞的人过分的在意自己的相貌（appearances）和行为；故选B．
4．D．考查形容词的词义辨析．Obviously紧承上一段内容，说明这是一种令人不愉快（unpleasant）的感觉，故选D．
5．A．考查动词的词义辨析．根据后面that引导的同位语从句that people must be affected unfavorably可知，这是一种令人不舒服的感觉，这是说一个人的自我意识的这种概念是他（她）行为（behaves）方式的一种反应；故选A．
6．D．考查动词的词义辨析．根据前面一句In general，the way people think about themselves has a deep influence on all areas of their lives．可知，缺乏自尊心的害羞的人他们是消极被动的也是易受到别人的影响的；故选D．
7．C．考查形容词的词义辨析．既然他们很被动，同时也说明他们对自己行为的正确性是需要得到确认的；故选C．
8．A．考查形容词的词义辨析．根据后面的一句It makes them feel inferior可知，受到批评是他们很在意的，即对批评是很敏感的，be sensitive to sth对…敏感；故选A．
9．C．考查动词的词义辨析．因为感觉低人一等，所以对于别人的赞扬或者恭维的话很难感到开心；故选C．
10．D．考查名容词的词义辨析．根据后面的句子You're just saying that to make me feel good．I know it's not true．"可知，这是对别人称赞的一种回应；故选D．
11．A．考查形容词的词义辨析．While引导的是一让步状语从句，后面说overdoing it is harmful过分的强调自我意识则是有害的；由此推断，自我意识是一种健康的心态；故选A．
12．B．考查副词的词义辨析．根据后面的or at least reduced可知，这是说明害羞的这种心理是完全（completely）可以改正的，或者至少可以说是能够减轻这种心态状况的；故选B．
13．B．考查名词的词义辨析．as well as 连接的是两个并列的事物，结合本文内容的介绍是说一个人接受自己的缺点（weaknesses）和优点（strengths）是很重要的；故选B．
14．D．考查形容词的词义辨析．此句是对to label themselves inferior 把自己贴上低人一等的标签这一行为的评价，所以应该是不公平的；故选D．
15．A．考查形容词的词义辨析．根据后面的has his or her own characteristics可知，每个人都是独一无二的个体，有着各自的特征，所以用unique独特的；故选A．

A．ought toB．mayC．canD．would
19．[1]Twenty-five years ago in San Diego，Karen Lange was asked by her neighbor，the husband  of a woman who had unknowingly picked up HIV，for help．Everyone else had turned their back  on the couple and the husband was desperate．Despite only knowing them for a short time，Karen agreed．
[2]The woman was in the last stages of a life．By her side，spending time with her and caring for her，was not her family，not her friends，but her next-door neighbor．In those moments，Karen's personal purpose in life became clear as she realized the major difference that we as individuals can have on another person's life．
[3]After her friend passed，Karen became involved in a local grass-roots organization called Mama's Kitchen，delivering meals to the critically ill，and eventually becoming a Board Member．She says that shethrew her energy in volunteering as a way to"help me feel better after her death and all the pain that I had seen．"
[4]After a few moves around the country，Karen landed in Baltimore．At that time，some aspects of her life were‘‘difficult，''and she was working hard to get"out of a rut．"Despite focusing on eating right，exercising，and trying to surround herself with positive people，she stayed in this rut，until she returned to volunteering．
[5]"It was volunteering at Moveable Feast that finally helped my soul and heart to heal，"Karen recalled．She found in the Bahimore-based nonprofit the same task as Mama's Kitchen in San Diego-to            people living with HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening conditions．
[6]That is Karen's true gift-to be proof that giving of our own resources，especially our time，can have a massive life-changing impact on the lives of others，while also showing that volunteering helps you become a healthier，more positive person．

16．A Korean wave is sweeping across China，and You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia．Besides，the book，The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane，read by the hero in You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while．
After the enormous craze generated by Great Jang-Geum in 2003，the resurgence （复活） of South Korean TV dramas can be attributed to the joint efforts of the country's government and TV series makers．The South Korean government issued regulations saying at least 80percent of the TV programs had to be domestically produced．It also fixed the minimum number of homemade TV series to be broadcast in the country．That not only helped South Korean TV productions gain a firm foothold in the domestic market，but also laid the foundation for their successful attempt into overseas markets．
Recent years have seen great innovations in South Korean TV productions in terms of themes and narrative patterns．Take You Who Came From The Star as an example．Although aliens visiting Earth is an often-used theme，You Who Came From The Star's script remains logical and fast-paced．It mixes the plot with romance and murder and keeps the audience guessing about how the story will unfold．When it comes to love stories，the new South Korean teleplays no longer use the sorrow card； instead，they introduce them with unpredictable ideas and romantic punch lines．
The three TV stations，SBS，KBS and MBC，control the majority of South Korean TV market，each specializing in a different area and appealing to people of different ages．The productions are smooth and use advanced technologies such as high-speed photography and computer-generated effects，creating a real-life visual impact．
Moreover，the filming for South Korean productions generally starts when the scripts （剧本） are just one-third ready．Many popular productions have their own websites，where scriptwriters post part of the finished scripts，inviting viewers to leave messages，discuss the plot and come up with suggestions for future series．This not only keeps viewers'interest in the TV dramas alive，but also helps scriptwriters and directors make changes to the storylines to suit the audience's demand．
Hopefully，the success of South Korean TV programs will prompt Chinese TV drama makers to think up new ideas and abandon their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home，and possibly abroad．

67．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT one South Korean TV drama？C
A．You Who Came From The Star．               B．The Heirs．
C．The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane．  D．Great Jang-Geum．
68．Why are most of South Korean TV programs required to be produced within South Korea？C
A．Because the TV programs produced out of South Korea are poorly made．
B．Because they can't match up to better produced works from other countries．
C．Because South Korean TV series are encouraged to promote its development．
D．Because just South Korea can provide enough TV market for them．
69．What kind of ending does You Who Came From The Star probably have？D
A．Sad and surprising．  B．Violent and frightening．
C．Romantic and sad．    D．Romantic and happy．
70．What's the advantage of South Korean TV programs over Chinese TV dramas？D

3．As a group of young African immigrants struggle to adapt to life in the United States，an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to make their lives easier by first making them a little harder．
Project X is a program that uses drama，dance，poetry and other creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and sometimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with language barriers．A final unveiling of their creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage．
Wanjiru Kamau，coordinator of White Oak's African Club said it's important to give troubles to group members to help them find their place at the school．"It comforts those who are uncomfortable，and it discomforts those who are comfortable，"Kamau said of Project X．
Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed that many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems，such as being laughed at by their fellow students about how they look and talk．When most of the kids join the club，they speak little or no English，Kamau said．Each week，the club typically draws five to ten students who are originally from Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X programme．
"We are going to express ourselves through our words and our actions，and that's powerful，"said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities．
One student，Frank Ketchouang，13，wrote，"I am from the world； I am love，"which drew oohs and aahs from the group．Ketchouang has been in the United States for less than a year，said Program Coordinator Chad Dike．When Ketchouang started attending Project X，he had been in the United States for two months and spoke no English．Now he's one of the group's most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group's newest member，who is from Haiti．
Many people will give up when there's a language barrier，"but these students prove them wrong"．Kamau said．"You do have something to give．You are important．When TV，media，etc．are bringing them down，this program is bringing them up．"

13．Different countries and cultures celebrate New Year in different"ways．Many countries still follow the lunar calendar，meaning that their new year often starts in late January or in February．New Year celebrations for some countries （like China，Vietnam and Korea）last not one day，but up to two weeks!
In the US，many people attend New Year parties．They drink champagne，dance，and cheer at the stroke of midnight．Fireworks，which in olden times scared away evil spirits，are very popular throughout the US．US residents often make one or more New Year's resolutions，such as promising to quit smoking，lose weight，stop drinking．Most of these resolutions last little longer than a month．
In the southern US，many people eat black-eyed peas for good luck in the new year．In Mexico and Venezuela，many people wear red or yellow underwear for good luck．In Brazil，residents wear white clothes for good luck，and in China，they wear red clothes and give children red envelopes with money in them．In Iran，people wear brand new clothes on the first day of the new year．
