阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并将答案写在答题卡上。

　　Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

　　It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.

　　Shy people have low self-esteem(respect), and are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing”. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise 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 healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

　　Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination. It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strength. And it is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have to be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to a sense ot inferiority.

　　Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

1．The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

[　　]

A．the thoughts of shy people

B．the cause of shyness

C．the effect of shyness on people

D．the questions in the minds of shy people

2．According to the writer, self-awareness is ________.

[　　]

A．harmful to people

B．a weak point of shy people

C．the cause of unhappiness

D．a good characteristic

3．What is the shy people's reaction to praise?

[　　]

A．They are pleased with it.

B．They feel it is not true.

C．They are very sensitive to it.

D．They feel they are worthy of it.

4．We can learn from the text that shyness can ________.

[　　]

A．help us to live up to our full development

B．enable us to understand ourselves better

C．block our chances for a successful life

D．have nothing to do with lack of self-esteem

A Tour City ------- Pompeii

Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝，意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium (运动场) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.

Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (维苏威火山) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.

In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried (埋藏) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all ot its people were dead.

For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover (发现) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20, 000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery (面包房). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ------- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup (眼部化装品) .

Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.

16．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?

A. To visit the volcano.

B. To shop and eat there.

C. To watch sports and plays.

D. To see how Pompeiians lived

17.Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?

A.The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.

B The area produced the finest wine in Italy.

C Few people expected the volcano erupt again.

D The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass

18.Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?

A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.

B Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.

C Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.

D Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.

19.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ exploded” in the third paragraph?

A.爆炸 B.震动 C.倒塌 D.开裂

20.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?

A They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.

B They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.

C They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.

D They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.

A new United Nations report says nearly two million children die each year because they have no access to clean water. The 2006 Human Development Report, released Thursday in South Africa, says most of the deaths are caused by diarrhea and dysentery brought on by dirty water.
