8.When Jack was a small boy,he was once asked to give a speech about"A Big Challenge in My Life".To talk before the whole class,he was (61)terribly (terrible) shy.However,he had no other (62)choice (choose),though.First Jack was to draft the speech,(63)which was a piece of cake for him because he was a good writer.But the hard part (64)lay (lie) in his oral presentation,for it was not allowed to read the paper.
A real trial began when Jack stood on the platform with his legs (65)trembling (tremble) and his mind blank.He took a deep breath and tried his best (66)to calm (calm) down.Surprisingly,it did work on him.(67)After a few seconds,he was no more nervous and finished his speech.To his surprise,he made(68)it!
From then on,his fear of talking before a big audience disappeared.Actually Jack had his confidence (69)built (build) up.Now he turns out to be a good speaker.
As we know,the greater difficulty we meet on our way to success,the (70)more likely we will be able to achieve our goals.

分析 本段文字讲述了Jack小时候的一次经历,他需要在班里做一次演讲.起初Jack感到很紧张,但又没别的选择,所以他就起草了演讲稿,当站在台上是,他感到两腿发抖,脑子了一片空白,Jack做了深呼吸尽量是自己平静下来,一小会后他就不紧张了,并且成功地完成了演讲.从此以后,他就不再害怕在观众面前演讲了,现在他已经成为一名优秀的演说家了.

解答 61.terribly;考查副词,这里需要修饰的是后面的形容词shy,所以要用副词形式.
 62.choice;考查名词,other是形容词,后面要跟名词.
63.which;考查关系代词,关系代词which指代前文的Jack was to draft the speech.
64.lay;考查时态,由第一句中When Jack was a small boy可知这里讲的是Jack小时候的事情,所以用过去时态.
65.trembling;考查动词的分词,这是一个"with+宾语+动词分词"的复合结构,现在分词表主动,过去分词表被动,句中legs和动词tremble是主动关系,故用现在分词.
66.to calm;考查固定搭配,这里try one's best to do 表示"尽某人最大的努力去做".
 67.After;考查介词,根据上下文句意,应该是"过来一会他就不紧张了…"所以空格处用after.
68.it; 考查固定短语,make it是固定用法,意为"成功了".
 69.built;考查动词分词的用法,have+sth+done/doing(作宾语补足语),现在分词表主动,过去分词表被动,confidence 与动词build是被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语.
70.more;考查固定结构,这里是固定结构"the+比较级,the+比较级",表示"越…越…".

点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.

18.Four years ago,a lobster(龙虾)fisherman,Gary Nichols,had never seen a lionfish,but today his traps are full of them.He catches so many lionfish now that he's started to sell them.While his lobsters sell for 16perkilogram,lionfish only make him﹩12.Lionfish are causing a great concern on his business and the commercial fishing industry in Florida,threatening other fish populations-in some cases reducing them by up to 90%.
Lionfish are native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans,but were accidentally introduced into Atlantic and Caribbean waters during the 1990s.With no natural enemies in the Atlantic and an ability to reproduce year-round,plus the favorable environment,their numbers have been rising in recent years.
Not only are lionfish causing losses to lobster fishermen like Nichols,they are also threatening the balance of the fragile ecosystem.
"Lionfish are eating almost anything that fits in their mouths."says Lad Akins,director of REEF,a marine conservation group."Some are commercially valuable fishes,like grouper and snapper that the fishermen depend on.Lionfish even could result in the extinction of some fish."
In an effort to solve the problem,REEF runs a monthly contest,awarding prizes to those who catch the most lionfish.It also runs workshops educating divers about safe collection and removal techniques.Many volunteers have also joined the fight with a campaign that encourages people to eat lionfish.
"If we can't beat them,let's eat them!"said Michelle Kosiek,the manager of the Fish House Encore,which has been serving lionfish for the past 18months."There is a little bit of fear factor eating them.In fact,those who tried it have spoken well of it."

b.They have no natural enemies in Atlantic.
c.They are able to lay eggs non-stop every year.

B.a positive promoter to the ecology of Florida waters
C.a chance to make Florida fish species diverse
D.a disaster both commercially and ecologically
28.In the fight against lionfish,Michelle Kosiek is helpful inA.
A.encouraging people to eat them

1.Exercise
Studies show that 30minutes of mild exercise a day will increase your life span.This doesn't mean you have to run three miles or start jumping.Simple activities such as walking,gardening or taking exercise classes will work.
2.Enjoy people
Contacts with family and friends help fight life-sapping depression and stress.Studies show that people socialize regularly live longer than loners.Interact daily with family members and friends.If you are isolated,make a point of joining social clubs or church groups so you can laugh and share life's joys.
3.Stay mentally active
This is very important-use it or lose it!People who allow their mental faculties to decline run the risk of shortening their lives through falls and other injuries,and not being able to take care of themselves.Read the newspaper,visit the public library,balance your checkbook without a calculator,and exercise your brain by doing crossword puzzle.
4.Diet
The key words are"high-fiber,low-fat".Cut back on red meat,salt,white flour,white sugar,alcohol and coffee.Start eating a balanced diet including lots of fruit,grains,raw vegetables and nuts.
5.Positive attitude
By approaching life with a positive outlook you increase your chances of living longer.Stay optimistic-always search for the silver lining.Studies show people who see life as an enjoyable challenge,rather than a constant trial,cope better and prolong their life spans.
6.medication mix
As we age,we are more likely to take medications.Sometimes this leads to over-medication,which can be disabling and even deadly.Ask your doctor if the drugs you take are really necessary.Make sure there is no danger of a bad drug interaction from your medication.Used correctly,medicines can help you live longer and more comfortably.

12.Dear David,
I'm glad you would like to share your feelings with me.It's hardly surprising that your feelings of not being"grown up"have come on strongly at this point in your life,just before you're about to become a father.You are asking:Will I make a good father?How will I cope?I think nearly every man must have the occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy before the birth.
It's difficult,honestly,to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to.The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he's at home.But as he walks through the office door,and knows he's going to be surrounded by staff for advice,he grows into a fully mature man.And I think it's a mistake to imagine that we all feel,as we age,a kind of progress of states,from the baby to the adult.Most people feel,on Tuesday,about three years old,and on a Wednesday,around 80.
There's a common remark that"all men are little boys",but it's not true.It's more true that men often behave like little boys.But nearly all people,at some moments in their lives,are able to be greatly mature..Once your baby arrives,you'll soon feel less childlike.When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug,the adult in you will rise up to prevent it.
Comfort yourself,David,with two truths.One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they,like you,feel frightened.And remember that people who haven't grown up don't go around talking about the fact.
    Good luck to you and your little one.
Sincerely Yours,
Miss Advice 28.According to the passage,Miss Advice thinks David's self-doubtC.
A.valuable

A.will increase with age
B.is obviously seen at home
C.changes with different situations
D.becomes stronger with familiar people
30.Miss Advice holds thatC.
A.all men behave like little boys
B.people tend to laugh at the subject
C.men with a baby feel more grown-up
D.people enjoy talking about their immaturity
31.Miss Advice wrote the letter toA.
