【解析】
文章讲述的是现在很多人都是性格内向的。一方面没有兄弟姐妹来练习日常交往;另一方面高科技的使用使人很少外出聊天;克服内向方法是常识新鲜事物,练习对话。
【1】句意:事实上,近50%的人害羞。
根据前文If you are, you are not alone.和后文 nearly 50% of people are shy可知,这里表达的是“事实上”,英语是in fact,故答案为fact。
【2】句意:为什么人们会害羞?
根据后文One reason is that family size might …,可知,这里表达的是“为什么人们会害羞”,英语中“为什么”是why,故答案为Why。
【3】句意:没有兄弟姐妹的孩子可能会害羞。
根据后文 they often play by t___4___. They are not a___5___ to develop the same social skills as children from big families.可知,这里指的是“没有兄弟姐妹的孩子们”,而后句中用的是they代替,所以这里应该是复数形式,英语是children,故答案为Children。
【4】句意:他们经常自己玩。
根据文中Growing up alone独自长大可知,这里应该表达的是“他们自己独自玩”,英语中“单独,独自”是by oneself,而句子主语是they,所以这里指的是“他们自己”,英语是themselves,故答案为themselves。
【5】句意:他们不能像大家庭的孩子那样发展同样的社交技能。
根据后文the same social skills as children from big families像其他大家庭的孩子一样可知,这里表达的是“不能发展”,句中已经有not,英语中“能”是be able to,故答案为able。
【6】句意:他们花在外面的时间越来越少。
根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“花费”,英语是spend,而整个文章用的是现在时,所以这里也用现在时。主语是they,所以动词用原形,故答案为spend。
【7】句意:与新人面对面交谈会让他们感到紧张。
根据前文they lose practice at conversation他们失去了在谈话中练习可知,与人面对面交流会让他们紧张,而空格在句中做主语,英语中能做主语的除了名词,还有动名词,故答案为Talking。
【8】句意:对于害羞的人来说,交朋友、上课发言、找份好工作都很困难。
根据前句For shy people对于害羞的人可知,做这些事情应该是很困难的,英语中“困难的”是difficult,故答案为difficult。
【9】句意:他们建议尝试新事物并练习对话。
根据后句trying new things and practicing conversation.常识新的事物和练习交谈可知,这是对害羞的人提出的建议,英语中“建议”是suggest,主语是复数人称,动词应该用原形,故答案为suggest。
【10】句意:不管怎样,不要害怕害羞。
根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“不要害怕”,英语是be afraid of,故答案为afraid。
