【解析】

这篇短文讲述的是国王在路中间放了一块大石头,看是否有人会把它搬走。一些官员和富有的商人对这块石头都视而不见,最后一个农民把石头移走了,他得到了国王的报酬。这个故事告诉我们每个困难都会给我们呈现一个改变的机会。

1句意:然后他躲在附近,看看是否有人试图把路上的巨石移开。

根据空后…nearby to see if…可知,国王躲在附近看有没有人把石头搬走,因此应选择hide,意为“躲藏”。短文讲述了过去的一个故事,使用了一般过去时态,这里应填过去式形式。故答案为hid

2句意:最先经过的是一些高级官员和最富有的商人。

根据空后…and the richest businessmen可知,该空也应指某人,故选择officer,意为“官员”。空前有some修饰,应用名词复数形式。故答案为officers

3句意:当他靠近那块巨石时,农夫没有像其他人那样绕着它走,而是放下蔬菜,试图把巨石移到路边。

根据上文 “Rather than moving it, they simply walked around it.”可知,官员和商人都是绕过了石头走过去,而农民没有,故这里选择walk,意为“走路,散步”。空前instead of…表示“代替,而不是”,后面用动名词形式,故答案为walking

4句意:花了很多功夫,但他终于成功地把它搬走了。

根据句意…but he finally…以及下文 “The kings note said the gold coins were a reward(酬谢) for moving the huge rock off of the road.”可知,农民成功地把石头搬走了,故这里选择successful,是一个形容词,意为“成功的”。该空在句中修饰谓语动词moved,应用副词形式。故答案为successfully

5句意:有一些硬币和一张国王的便条。

根据句子结构可知,这句话使用的是there be句型,表示“有……”,这里应选择be动词,应根据就近原则,与coins一致,用复数。这个故事使用了一般过去时态,故答案为were

6句意:这个故事给我们上了重要的一课:每一个困难都是改变现状的机会。

根据句子结构可知,该空应选择动词,结合句意可知应选present,意为“呈现”,主语every difficulty是单数,且这句话使用了一般现在时态,因此动词变为三单形式,故答案为presents

这是一篇记叙文,短文通过讲述一个小故事告诉我们一个道理。文章叙述清晰,内容比较容易理解。题型是选择适当的单词,用其正确形式完成短文,考查单词在具体语境中的使用。做题时,先浏览所给单词,弄清楚每个单词的意思和词性,做到心中有数;然后通读短文,了解文意;根据上下文语境选择适当的单词,再根据它在句中的作用以及短文使用的时态、句型等,变化单词的形式。例如第2小题,根据空后…and the richest businessmen可知,该空也应指某人,故选择officer,意为“官员”。空前有some修饰,应用名词复数形式。故答案为officers。再如第5小题,根据句子结构可知,这句话使用的是there be句型,表示“有……”,这里应选择be动词,应根据就近原则,与coins一致,用复数。这个故事使用了一般过去时态,故答案为were

【题目】 Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.

Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.

Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.

You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure (失败). In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame (责备) themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk (风险) taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.

For shy people, it can be difcult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don't forget — if you are shy, you are not the only one.
