A
解析试题分析：考查交际用语。A不完全如此；B不是这样；C非常；D一点也不；句意：—那么你就错过了Smith教授的演讲了。—不完全如此。我是在它的演讲结束前30分钟到的。说明他还是听到了部分的演讲。故A正确。
考点：考查交际用语
点评：交际用语的考查要根据上下文的含义以及逻辑关系，也要注意中西方文化在表达上的差异，要有跨文化的意识。同时要特别注意西方的文明礼仪在交际用语中的体现。如：在面对对方的赞扬的时候，应该使用Thanks.等等。也要把语法和句意相融合在一起，在平时的学习中要注意积累一些常见的交际用语的句式。
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever wondered why birds sing? 1 After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.
2 Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a "territory" is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声称) as its won. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. 3 If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. 4 But he expects an outsider almost all the time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird' s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
5 Most of it has to do with attracting males and setting up territories.
| A．A bird does the same thing. |
| B．Maybe you thought that they were just happy. |
| C．Shouting loudly is just like a bird's screaming. |
| D．You can see that birds have a language all their own. |
F. However they sing most of the time for a very different reason.
G. So, just like human beings, birds sing for almost the same reasons.
With healthy self-confidence you’ll take more chances and overcome obstacles faster. How do you boost your self-confidence? Here are some easy-to-try-out trips.
Speak well of yourself. We become what we think about most of the time. 【小题1】 If you continually tell yourself you “can’t do something”, you’re sure to create that reality for yourself, because that is how you see yourself. On the other hand, if you repeatedly say and think to yourself something like, “I am capable of creating a life I love”, soon you will begin creating a life you love.
Surround yourself with self-confident people and positive environments. It sounds a bit obvious, but if you have friends that lack confidence, you probably do too. If you’re surrounded by people who criticize others and speak poorly of themselves, get out! Remove yourself from their company. 【小题2】 Seek out friends who are confident and you’ll feel your confidence increasing.
【小题3】 Don’t say you’re going to do something unless you really intend to do it. We’ve all met the “big talkers” – people who talk about their big plans but never do anything to make them happen. The “big talkers” lose face because no one believes they’ll do what they say they’re going to do.
Accept fear and obstacles as a natural part of life and growth. Don’t beat yourself up when you find yourself gripped(抓住) by fear and other emotions. 【小题4】Be aware when these feelings are present but don’t let them stop you. Keep moving forward by telling yourself you’re much more than the obstacles you face and failures you experience.
【小题5】 Once a month, take a few moments to write down all that you have done well. Acknowledge the work you do and your strengths on a regular basis. In doing so, you’ll begin seeing and appreciating all the good you do.
| A．Start with small steps. |
| B．We become what we say about ourselves. |
| C．Negative environments are hard to escape. |
| D．Don’t judge yourself for having these feelings. |
F. Take action on what you say you’re going to do.
G. Take time out to focus on all that you have done well.
