篇一：
About 40 percent of Americans think of themselves as shy, while only 20 percent say they have never suffered from shyness at some point in their lives. Shyness occurs when a person’s apprehensions are so great that they 1 his making an expected or desired social response. 2 of shyness can be as minor as 3 to make eye contact when speaking to someone, 4 as major as avoiding conversations whenever possible.
“Shy people tend to be too 5 with themselves,” said Jonathan Cheek, a psychologist, who is one of those at the forefront of current research on the topic. “ 6 , for a smooth conversation, you need to pay attention to the other person’s cues 7 he is saying and doing. But the shy person is full of 8 about how he seems to the other person, and so he often 9 cues he should pick up. The result is an awkward lag in the conversation. Shy people need to stop focusing on 10 and switch their attention to the other person.”
11 , shy people by and large have 12 social abilities than they think they do. 13 Dr. Cheek videotaped shy people talking to 14 , and then had raters (评估者) evaluate how socially skilled the people were, he found that, in the 15 of other people, the shy group had few 16 problems. But when he asked the shy people themselves 17 they had done, they were unanimous in saying that they had been social flops (失败).
“Shy people are their own 18 critics,” Dr. Cheek said. 19 he added, shy people feel they are being judged more 20 than they actually are, and overestimate how obvious their social anxiety is to others.

参考答案
1. 【答案】B
【解析】 inhibit意为“阻止，抑制”，后面可直接跟名词或动名词，如：Thirst inhibits the desire to eat.口渴妨碍食欲。而prevent，keep虽也意为“阻止”，但常用结构为prevent/keep sb.from doing sth.因此这里inhibit为最佳选项。
2. 【答案】A
【解析】symptom意为“症状，病症”，在文中的意思是“害羞的症状就是……”。
3. 【答案】B
【解析】fail to do sth.不能做某事，句意为：害羞的人不能在与别人交谈时与别人进行眼神交流。因此，B项最合逻辑。
4. 【答案】C
【解析】or表示一种选择关系，根据上句...can be as minor as. . .，“可能微小到……”，又根据后面的...as major as...，“能大到……”，由此可知应是一种选择关系，因此用or。
5. 【答案】A
【解析】preoccupied意为“心事重重的;关注于……的”，此句意为：害羞的人趋于对他们自己过分关注
6. 【答案】C
【解析】因为前面提出一个观点，害羞的人往往过分关注自己，这里便举例证明这个观点，因此C项为最佳选项。
7. 【答案】C
【解析】注意前面出现的cues，这个词意为“(言词、行为之)暗示，提示”。因为后面一句是用来解释说明cues的，因此应选What he is saying and doing.他在说什么话和做着什么动作。
8. 【答案】A
【解析】根据前面提出的观点，应知此句意为：害羞的人过分担心自己在他人眼中是什么样的，他们为自己的形象忧心重重。因此，选用worries最合文意。
9. 【答案】C
【解析】此句意为：正因为害羞的人过分关注他人对自己的看法，往往会错过别人的话语和小动作。根据文意，miss最合文意。
10. 【答案】D
【解析】前面提到，害羞的人是趋于关注“自己”的，因此，此处应选用themselves。
11. 【答案】B
【解析】根据后一句，害羞的人的社交能力往往比他们自己想的要强，与前文谈害羞的人的缺点相比，可知这里有一个转折语气，nevertheless可引起转折语气，相当于but。
12. 【答案】C
【解析】此句意为：害羞的人有着比他们所想象的要强的社交能力。
13. 【答案】A
【解析】这里需要的是一个引导时间状语从句的词，句意为：当Cheek博士摄下害羞的人与他人谈话的情景时。
14. 【答案】C
根据逻辑，选择strang
er，与陌生人谈话为最佳选项。
15. 【答案】D
【解析】in the eyes of sb.意为“在某人看来”;in the name of sb.意为“以某人的名义”。根据上下文，选用eyes最合逻辑。
16. 【答案】B
【解析】obvious意为“可看出来的，显而易见的”;oblivious意为“”忘却”;obscure意为“模糊的”;oblique意为“间接的，斜的”。
17. 【答案】C
【解析】根据上下文，此句意为：研究者问了别人对害羞者行为的评价后，又问他们自己觉得自己表现怎么样。因此选用how最合适。
18. 【答案】D
【解析】根据前文，害羞者总是觉得自己表现不好，因此选用worst，句意为：害羞的人是对他们自己评论最差的人。
19. 【答案】C
【解析】in general意为“总体上来说”;in particular意为“具体而言”;in contrast意为“相比而言”;in comparison意为“比较地说”。
20. 【答案】B
【解析】negatively意为“否定地，消极地”;positively意为“肯定地”;subjectively意为“主观地”;objectively意为“客观地”。此题句意为：害羞的人趋于对自已有否定的评价。应选B项。
篇二：
Things in the henhouse changed practically overnight when McDonald’s announced in 1999 that it would no longer buy eggs from producers who didn’t meet its guidelines for care of chickens. Those guidelines included limiting the 1 of birds that could be kept in one 2 and prohibiting beak removal, 3 trimming just the tips.
Once McDonald’s had 4 the way in issuing animal care guidelines for the company’s suppliers, many other giants of the fast-food industry rapidly followed 5 , including Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Wendy’s, A and W and KFC. Now, the American Meat Institute has 6 welfare guidelines and audit 7 for cattle, pigs, and chickens. And the European Union, representing our foreign customers, is also 8 in with, among other things, legislation banning. 9 use of crates to house pregnant sows, 10 in 2013.
Questions about animal care 11 with the explosive growth in large-scale livestock farms, 12 spurred customers to complain about animals being treated as “factory parts”. That spurred ARS and the livestock industry to take a proactive approach to addressing animal 13 issues, making sure that guidelines are based on facts 14 through scientific research. The goal is to share research findings with the retail food industry and others so that the livestock industry can improve its 15 guidelines.
Ten years ago, to 16 these concerns, ARS started a research program on livestock behavior and stress. The scientists involved were tasked with finding out whether modern farming practices were 17 stressing animals. And if so, could scientific methods be developed to measure this stress so that 18 could be evaluated objectively rather than subjectively?
A decade later, the 19 answer is “yes” to both questions, Many had expected the answer to be “no” on both counts, but science works independently 20 people’s opinions.
1. A. amount B. number C. figure D. sum
2. A. cage B. cave C. case D. cart
3. A. but for B. except for C. aside from D. away from
4. A. paved B. changed C. led D. opened
5. A. suitB. step C. set D. super
6. A. adapted B. adopted C. approved D. accepted
7. A. booklets B. pamphlets C. brochures D. checklists
8. A. measuring B. weighing C. considering D. thinking
9. A. prolonged B. proceeded C. programmed D. progressed
10. A. efficient B. effective C. effusive D. elective
11. A. raised B. roseC. aroseD. pose
12. A. who B. what C. which D. how
13. A. health B. life C. wealth D welfare
14. A. decided B. determined C. proved D. tested
15. A. voluntary B. revolutionary C. preliminary D. necessary
16. A. express B. address C. suppress D. compress

18. A. performances B. programs C. problems D. practices
19. A. sequential B. initial C. essential D. financial
20. A. of B. on C. by D. with
1.【答案】B
【解析】amount指不可数名词的“数量”，number指可数名词的“数目”，figure指一个“数字”，sum多指钱的“数量”。这里指家禽数目，是可数名词，因此答案是B。
2.【答案】A
【解析】cage意为“笼子”，是和文中的bird搭配唯一恰当的词，cave“洞穴”，case“箱子”和cart“人力车”都不可和bird搭配使句意通畅，所以选A。
3.【答案】B
【解析】but for是“若非，要不是”，except for是“除了，只是”，aside from是“除…以外”，away from是“离开”。原文的意思是供应商除了可以对鸟喙尖部稍加修剪外禁止去掉鸟喙。只有except for符合句子意思，因此B是正确答案。
4.【答案】C
【解析】pave the way是“为…作准备”，change the way是“改变…方式、方法”，lead the way是“为…之先，首先倡导”，open则不能和the way搭配。根据上下文可知麦当劳公司在家禽饲养方面率先作出明确规定，其后诸多快餐巨头纷纷效仿，因此答案是C。
5.【答案】A
【解析】“效仿，模仿”在英语里的固定短语是follow suit，所以选A。
6.【答案】B
【解析】adapt是“适应”，adopt是“采纳”，approve是“同意”，accept是“接受，同意”。首先排除adpat，而approve和accept意思相近，属于干扰选项，所以答案是B。提醒大家准确记忆adapt和adopt的拼写及用法，这两个词在词汇测试方面的出现频率相当高。
7.【答案】D
【解析】本题我们可以采用排除法。A、B、C三个选项都是“小册子”的意思，不能同时成为正确答案，只能选D，checklist的意思是“(核对用的)一览表(尤指完整的清单)”。
8.【答案】B
【解析】weigh in with是固定短语，意为“(在讨论等中)有把握地提出”。Consider，think和measure都不能和in with搭配，所以答案是B。
9.【答案】A
【解析】这四个选项相似之处在于它们有相同词头“pro”。prolong的意思是“拖延，延长”，
proceed的意思是“进行，继续”，program为“设计，规划”之意，而progress则为“进步，发展”之意。只有prolong的过去分词能修饰use，因此只能选择A。
10.【答案】B
【解析】C，D选项易排除，effusive为“感情横溢的，流出的”，elective意思是“有选举权的，被选任的，可选修的”。A、B选项也是考试高频词汇，它们不仅拼写相似，意思也有相近之处，effective意思是“生效的'，有效的”，而efficient是“效率高的，能干的，有效的”之意，法律条文的生效一般用effective，所以选B。
11.【答案】C
【解析】本句主干是“Questions+待选谓语动词”，意思是伴随着大规模家畜饲养场的发展出现了许多问题。我们先排除raised和posed，因为它们与question搭配时都作及物动词。rise为“升起，增长”之意，arise的意思是“出现，发生”，只有arise能作不及物动词和question搭配，因此C为正确答案。
12.【答案】C
【解析】解这道题时，首先要理清句子结构。逗号后面的句子应为非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整句话，待选词应为引导定语从句的关系代词，据此可排除what和how，又因为这个定语从句修饰的不是人，who也被排除。正确答案只能为C.
13.【答案】D
【解析】health是“健康”，life是“生命，生存”，wealth是“财富”，welfare是“福利”。从上文可以看出，本文讨论的是针对动物的福利提出的一些饲养动物的规定，因此D是正确答案。
14.【答案】B
【解析】decide是“决定，使下决心”，determine是“决定，确定，测定”，prove是“证明，证实”，test是“试验，测验”。要填的过去分词修饰的是fact，最合适的选项是determined，因此答案是B。
15.【答案】A
【解析】voluntary意思是“自发的，自愿的”，revolutionary为“革命的”，而preliminary为“预备的，初步的”，necessary则为“必须的，必需的”。从上文可以看出，这些guidelines(指导原则)是由家畜饲养行业自发制定的，而与食品零售行业和其他行业共享研究结果的目的是完善这些指导原则，因此A为正确答案。
16.【答案】B
【解析】express是“表达，表示”，address是“对付，处理”，suppress是“压制，镇压”，compress是“压缩，镇压”。express和address能和concerns搭配，但这句话的主语是ARS，不定式短语表示目的，即ARS开始实验的目的，显然address更合适，所以选B。
17.【答案】A
【解析】大家可用构词法知识对词义进行推测，duly为“适当地”，那么unduly应为“不适当地，过分地”之意，其他三个选项也可依此类推。根据句子意思判断，A为正确答案。原句意思是科学家想通过研究来验证现代的饲养方式是否对家畜形成过大的压力。
18.【答案】D
【解析】 performance是“表演，表现”，program是“规划，程序”，problem是“问题”，practice是“实践，行为，做法”。除了区别四个选项的意思之外，细心的同学会发现上句话中practice已经出现。从上下文中寻找正确答案是做完形填空题非常行之有效的技巧。D是正确答案。
19.【答案】B
【解析】sequential是“连续的”，initial是“最初的”，essential是“必不可少的”，financial是“金融的”。空格后搭配的是answer，A、C、D三个选项都可以排除，因此选择B。
20.【答案】A
【解析】 be independent of是固定短语，意为“不依赖于…”，原句意思是科学不以人的意志为转移，也就是说科学不依赖于人为因素。正确答案为A。
