解析　根據(jù)句意及上下文可知，作者會(huì)采訪某個(gè)正在與癌癥病魔斗爭(zhēng)的人，故選battle表示“搏斗，斗爭(zhēng)”。其余三項(xiàng)與語(yǔ)境不符。
小題3:　B

小題7:　B
解析　根據(jù)上下文及語(yǔ)境可知，既然沒(méi)有電子郵件系統(tǒng)來(lái)分散他購(gòu)物時(shí)的注意力，那自然有可能結(jié)識(shí)一兩個(gè)朋友，likely符合語(yǔ)境。
小題8:　D
解析　根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，購(gòu)物后要結(jié)賬離開(kāi)，故用check out結(jié)賬離開(kāi)。settle down安下心來(lái)，定居；use up消耗掉，用完；set off動(dòng)身，啟程，出發(fā)，均不符合語(yǔ)境。

小題13:　C
解析　四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有same能表現(xiàn)出哥哥對(duì)使用因特網(wǎng)的這些人的不理解。
小題14:　D
解析　根據(jù)后半句“...the Internet ____ are making him more so，too.”可知此處意為：我哥哥總是認(rèn)為自己是個(gè)過(guò)時(shí)守舊的人。always最符合語(yǔ)境。
小題15:　B
解析　根據(jù)上下文可知，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶迅猛增加的這一趨勢(shì)使作者的哥哥更落伍了，故選trend。
小題16:　A
解析　根據(jù)第三段前兩句“...he is offline.At age 52，he’s ____ sent an e­mail，surfed the Web or bought anything online.”可知，作者的哥哥從不上網(wǎng)，故stranger局外人，外行，符合語(yǔ)境。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, we might all be braggarts(大話王) in this competitive society addicted to social networking.
Take a close look at your social­networking sites. Do you like to post photos of yourself in restaurants to show others what an exciting life you have? Or do you like to write about how happily in love you are? Or perhaps you are of the subtle type who constantly complain about jobs but really just want to impress others with your important position.
According to the results of a series of experiments conducted by Harvard University neuroscientists(神經(jīng)科學(xué)家), the reward areas of our brain——the same areas that respond to “primary rewards” such as food ——are activated when we talk about ourselves. We devote between 30 to 40 percent of our conversation time to doing just that. Unfortunately, Bernstein says, some people can't tell the difference between sharing positive information that others might actually want to know and direct bragging. She suggests that bragging involves comparison, whether stated or implied.
“We are expected to be perfect all the time. The result is that more and more people are carefully managing their online images”. says Elizabeth Bernstein, a columnist with the Wall Street Journal.
But the issue is not limited to the Internet. In a fiercely competitive job market we must sell ourselves on multiple platforms and show that we are better than others. In fact, we have become so accustomed to bragging that we don't even realize we are doing it, says Bernstein. This is harmful to our relationships and puts people off.
Bernstein talked to some experts who said that people brag for all sorts of reasons: to appear worthy of attention; to prove to ourselves we are doing fine and that people who said we would fail are wrong; or simply because we're excited when good things happen to us.
“Feel sorry for them, because they're doing this unconscious, destructive thing that won't help them in the long run，” said Professor Simian Valier, a research psychologist at Washington University.
小題1:The underlined word “subtle” in Para.2 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．hiddenB．a(chǎn)pparent
C．outstandingD．simple
小題2:Which of the following is one of the features of braggarts?
A．They control conversation and only talk about themselves.
B．They know well how to share positive information.
C．They self­promote to stand out in their career.
D．They don't pay much attention to their online image.
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Braggarts make a good first impression but the effect decreases over time.
B．People who like bragging know what they are doing.
C．Braggarts always adopt comparison directly to show they are excellent.
D．They care much about the feelings of others when talking.

閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy,        becomes unhappy. This        from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy        their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the        things. They are,       , continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pleasure of society, offend many people, and        themselves disagreeable (不受歡迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up        by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown        its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are        its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and        them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious        in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most        politeness and respect. This        puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining        advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step        speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反對(duì)), no one will        or excuse them, and many        join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,        worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not,        will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,        when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

People who show confidence really seem to have it made. They seize more rewarding careers, keep good relationships, and just seem to do everything with more styles than the rest of us.
So what is the secret? There isn’t one. Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop. And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a hard start in self-confidence development, we all can learn to become more confident at any age.
Try these simple tips for practising and increasing your self-confidence levels:
Dare to fail. Anybody who’s out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly. If you are not failing, you are not trying. So don’t take failure too hard or too personally. Just learn to deal with it and use its lessons to keep improving.
When in doubt, pretend you know what you are doing. Because, if you are confident of your abilities, by the time you have done it, you will be experienced.
Dress for success. You don’t have to be beautiful to be confident. Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages.
Listen to yourself. You are the only person who knows what’s right for you. Don’t put others’ opinions above your own inner voice.
Build a confident vocabulary. Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses. Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you.
Pass on the praise. Praise others for their virtues and strengths. This practice will not decrease your confidence, but help increase it.
