English is full f clrful phrases t describe shyness. Smene shy might be called shrinking vilet r a wallflwer, while fr especially nervus types we have the curius expressin: they wuldn’t say “b" t a gse.
Nne f these are traditinally seen as psitive descriptins, even if yu like geese. In a culture f g-getting high achievers, shy peple dn’t cme first. Or that’s what the self-help industry wuld have yu believe. Bkshps are filled with vital tmes(大部头书籍)that prmise t help beat scial fears and find success in life, lve and business. That is why ne bk, Shrinking Vilets: A Field Guide t Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success acrss English-language media recently fr its new take-n shyness.
Authr Je Mran says that despite struggling with shyness and lnging fr lneliness all his life, being shy can als be “a gift". Freed frm the cnstant urge t participate and cmpete in scial situatins, peple are liberated t lk at the wrld in new ways, and gain fresh insights.
Indeed, many f the wrld’s great thinkers and artists are intrverts(内向的人).Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their wn cmpany; actress Keira Knightley ften finds herself tngue-tied at parties; and Harry Ptter authr J.K. Rwling claims she used t be t nervus t even brrw a pen.
Mran tld BBC Future, “I think shyness prbably des turn yu int an amateur anthrplgist(人类学家), really—yu are mre likely t be an bserver."
S, while extrverts make all the nise, they dn’t necessarily have the best ideas.
If yu’re shy, yu’ve prbably knwn this fr a lng time. Yu just dn’t shut abut it.
28.When smene is being called a wallflwer, he is being ?
A. praised fr his grace
B. admired fr his character
C. laughed at fr his shyness
D. tld ff fr his nervusness
29.What des the underlined phrase “bucks the trend" in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Ges against the trend and succeeds.
B. Changes the public idea cmpletely.
C. Becmes unppular and unaccepted.
D. Becmes the majr cncern f peple.
30.Why did the authr mentin many famus shy peple?
A. T pint ut the harm shyness brings.
B. T discnnect shyness and success.
C. T shw the reasns fr shyness.
D. T prve shyness cntributes t science.
31.What is the authr’s attitude twards shyness?
A. Oppsed.B. Indifferent.
C. Supprtive.D. Critical.

Researchers are lking int new ways t generate(产生) efficient phtvltaic energy (光伏能源) and fr this they have been inspired by the vshaped psture f the Cabbage White butterfly(菜粉蝶)．
Phtvltaic energy is the science behind slar pwer, where light is turned int electricity. It is a twset prcess. Step ne is a phtelectric effect, caused by sunlight. The secnd step is an electrchemical prcess, which generates an electric current.
T imprve the cllectin f sunlight, a research grup has been inspired by the resting psture f the Cabbage White butterfly. The species has a natural range acrss Eurpe, Asia, and Nrth Africa. T many farmers, the butterflies are regarded as a pest；t thers, they are pretty t lk at. T ne research grup the butterflies are an inspiratin.
The butterfly adpts a vshape in rder t heat up its flight muscles befre taking ff. By creating slar panels(太阳能电池板)in this frmatin, scientists think that the quantity f pwer that a slar panel can prduce can be increased by arund 50 percent.
The Cabbage White butterfly is different t many ther butterflies in using the vfrmatin. On cludy days butterflies need t wait t receive enugh sunlight in rder t fly. Hwever, by using the vpsture, the Cabbage White butterfly is able t take in mre energy mre quickly than ther butterflies. In additin, the butterfly can reflect sunlight frm its wings, which allws its flight muscles t be warmed t an ideal temperature.
The new research was cnducted at the University f Exeter's Envirnment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) and the Centre fr Eclgy and Cnservatin. Discussing the findings with Labratry Manager magazine, lead researcher Prfessr Tapas Mallick stated：“Bimimicry(仿生学)in engineering is nt new. Hwever, this research shws pathways t develp lw cst slar pwer that have nt been dne befre."

D．Butterflies cntribute t slar pwer revlutin(革命)
33. What is the main purpse f Cabbage White butterflies using the vpsture?

C．T prepare fr flight. D．T prtect themselves.
34. What is Tapas Mallick's attitude twards the research?

C．Skeptical( 怀疑的) D．Disapprving.
35. Where is the text mst prbably taken frm?
