One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, “Look! There is a horseshoe（马掌钉）. Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said, “It isn’t worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but picked it up himself.

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（哈佛）University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often bullied（欺负）by their 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 Isral, only one of three people say so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions（观点）about 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 taking are strongly supported. This may by why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people, it can be difficult 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 conversations. And don’t forget—if you are shy, you are not the only one.
41. How many people are shy?
A. None. B. All people.
C. About 50 percent of people. D. About 80 percent of people.
42. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Happiness. B. Shyness C. Kindness. D. Loneliness.
43. What does the underlined word “genetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Passed down from parents. B. Learned from friends.
C. Taught by teachers. D. Made up by brothers.
44. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Most little babies are born shy and quiet.
B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.
C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
45. We can learn from the passage that ________ may cause shyness.
A. genetics, grownups and birthplace B. genetics, family size and birthplace
C. family size, grownups and failure D. genetics, family size and freedom

（2017﹒内蒙古赤峰）One pleasant New Year morning, Edward got up and dressed himself in a hurry. He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year.
He looked in every room, and shouted “Happy New Year” to every one of his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat it to those he met. When he came back, his father gave him two new dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some nice books.
As he ran down the street with a light heart to the bookshop, he saw a poor German family—the father, mother and three children walking in the cold wind.
“I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head. “You do not belong to this country?” asked Edward. The man shook his head again, because he could not understand or speak English. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, he seemed to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these people were poor and in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man， and the other to his wife. They said something in their language, which meant, “Thank you very much, and we will remember you forever.”
66. When did the story happen?

A peaceful mind is very important for our effectiveness（效率）. It keeps us calm and allows us to stay happy during the day, no matter（无论）what the situation（情况）is. So, here, I would like to share the ways to have a “mind like water”, a state of mind that is as peaceful as calm water. Pick the ones that work for you:
● Listen to your heart
Your heart tells you what is the right thing to do. It is where your deepest values（价值）live. Following what your heart says helps you be true to yourself, and that helps you get a peaceful mind. So learn to listen more to your heart, and do what it tells you to do.
● Don’t take in too much information
Getting more information often means introducing more noise into your mind. That’s why limiting（限制）your information intake is important for calm and peaceful mind. You shouldn’t take in more information than necessary（必要的）.
● Slow down
Whatever you do, you do not need to be in a hurry. Doing so will only take you faster in the wrong direction. Slow down so that you can clearly hear the voice of your heart.
● Don’t think too much about yourself and do something for other people
We usually think about our own needs and problems most of the time. But self-centered（以自我为中心的）thoughts can’t bring peace into our mind. Instead, it may make us feel stressed. So don’t think too much about yourself.
71. Your deepest values live in ________________, so you should follow ________________ and be true to yourself.
72. More information often brings ________________ into your mind. You shouldn’t take in _____________ than necessary.
73. You do not need to be in a hurry. You need to ________________ in order to _____________ of your heart clearly.

One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, “Look! There is a horseshoe（马掌钉）. Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said, “It isn’t worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but picked it up himself.
When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with a few pennies（美分）he bought some cherries（樱桃）. The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky. And there wasn’t a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time, his father dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while, his father dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost some time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth. And they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up.
When Thomas had eaten all the cherries, his father said to him, “My dear son, if you had bent（弯曲）down earlier to pick up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries. Always remember the lesson that anyone who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things.”

【31题详解】

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（哈佛）University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often bullied（欺负）by their 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 Isral, only one of three people say so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions（观点）about 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 taking are strongly supported. This may by why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people, it can be difficult 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 conversations. And don’t forget—if you are shy, you are not the only one.
41. How many people are shy?
A. None. B. All people.
C. About 50 percent of people. D. About 80 percent of people.
42. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Happiness. B. Shyness C. Kindness. D. Loneliness.
43. What does the underlined word “genetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Passed down from parents. B. Learned from friends.
C. Taught by teachers. D. Made up by brothers.
44. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Most little babies are born shy and quiet.
B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.
C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
45. We can learn from the passage that ________ may cause shyness.
A. genetics, grownups and birthplace B. genetics, family size and birthplace
C. family size, grownups and failure D. genetics, family size and freedom
【答案】41. C 42. B 43. A 44. C 45. B

【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Scientists at Harvard（哈佛）University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters.”可知很多害羞的孩子有哥哥和姐姐。故选C。

【详解】根据中文提示和已给出的英文内容可知，第一空需填入表“主演”的谓语动词，时态为一般过去时。star“主演”，其过去式形式为starred；句中的and为并列连词，连接两个并列的句子。后面的并列句也缺少谓语动词。mark“标志”，动词，其过去式为marked。the beginning of his career“他事业的开始”。故填starred；marked the beginning。

A
（2017﹒内蒙古赤峰）One pleasant New Year morning, Edward got up and dressed himself in a hurry. He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year.
He looked in every room, and shouted “Happy New Year” to every one of his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat it to those he met. When he came back, his father gave him two new dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some nice books.
As he ran down the street with a light heart to the bookshop, he saw a poor German family—the father, mother and three children walking in the cold wind.
“I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head. “You do not belong to this country?” asked Edward. The man shook his head again, because he could not understand or speak English. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, he seemed to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these people were poor and in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. They said something in their language, which meant, “Thank you very much, and we will remember you forever.”

B
A peaceful mind is very important for our effectiveness（效率）. It keeps us calm and allows us to stay happy during the day, no matter（无论）what the situation（情况）is. So, here, I would like to share the ways to have a “mind like water”, a state of mind that is as peaceful as calm water. Pick the ones that work for you:
● Listen to your heart
Your heart tells you what is the right thing to do. It is where your deepest values（价值）live. Following what your heart says helps you be true to yourself, and that helps you get a peaceful mind. So learn to listen more to your heart, and do what it tells you to do.
● Don’t take in too much information
Getting more information often means introducing more noise into your mind. That’s why limiting（限制）your information intake is important for calm and peaceful mind. You shouldn’t take in more information than necessary（必要的）.
● Slow down
Whatever you do, you do not need to be in a hurry. Doing so will only take you faster in the wrong direction. Slow down so that you can clearly hear the voice of your heart.
● Don’t think too much about yourself and do something for other people
We usually think about our own needs and problems most of the time. But self-centered（以自我为中心的）thoughts can’t bring peace into our mind. Instead, it may make us feel stressed. So don’t think too much about yourself.
71. Your deepest values live in ________________, so you should follow ________________ and be true to yourself.
72. More information often brings ________________ into your mind. You shouldn’t take in _____________ than necessary.
73. You do not need to be in a hurry. You need to ________________ in order to _____________ of your heart clearly.
74. Self-centered thoughts may make you _____________ instead of _____________ into your mind.
75. According to the passage, the writer shares ____________ ways to have a peaceful mind and they can make us feel calm and _____________ during the day.

72. ①. more noise ②. more information
73. ①. slow down ②. hear the voice
74. ①. feel stressed ②. bringing peace
75. ①. four ②. stay happy
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了“心静如水”的方法。
【71题详解】
根据“Your heart tells you what is the right thing to do. It is where your deepest values（价值）live. Following what your heart says helps you be true to yourself”可知你最深处的价值在你的内心，因此应该跟随你内心所说，忠于自己。因此第一空填“your heart”；第二空填“what your heart says”。故填your heart；what your heart says。
【72题详解】
根据“Getting more information often means introducing more noise into your mind.”可知更多的信息往往给思绪带来更多的干扰，因此第一空填“more noise”；根据“You shouldn’t take in more information than necessary（必要的）.”可知你不应该吸收没必要的信息，因此第二空填“more information”。故填more noise；more information。
【73题详解】
根据“Slow down so that you can clearly hear the voice of your heart.”可知你需要慢下来去清晰地倾听内心的声音，因此第一空填“slow down”；第二空填“hear the voice”。故填slow down；hear the voice。
【74题详解】
根据“But self-centered（以自我为中心的）thoughts can’t bring peace into our mind. Instead, it may make us feel stressed.”可知以自我为中心的想法会让我们感觉到有压力而不能给我们的思想带来平静，因此第一空填“feel stressed”；第二空填“bringing peace”。故填feel stressed；bringing peace。
【75题详解】
阅读文章可知作者给我们分享了四种让思绪保持平静的方法，因此第一空填“four”；根据第一段中“It keeps us calm and allows us to stay happy during the day”可知有一颗平静的心可以让我们保持冷静和快乐，因此第二空填“stay happy”。故填four；stay happy。
