sth.意為“留心，注意某事”，故用介詞to。3taking解析：考查非謂語動詞。介詞后跟名詞、代詞或動詞­ing形式作賓語，故填taking。4themselves解析：考查代詞。根據(jù)語境可知，他們在自己身上抹上潤滑油和泥土。該空與句子主語“They”呼應(yīng)，故用themselves作賓語。5nervously解析：考查副詞。副詞修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞或整個句子。故用副詞nervously修飾動詞went。6had been解析：考查動詞時態(tài)。參加婚禮發(fā)生在他們陳述事件之前，表示過去的過去，故用過去完成時。7a解析：考查冠詞。tire是可數(shù)名詞的單數(shù)形式，且第一次在語境中出現(xiàn)，故用不定冠詞修飾，又因flat的發(fā)音以輔音音素開頭，故填a。8thought解析：考查名詞。deep是形容詞，修飾名詞，且be/get lost in thought為固定短語，意為“陷入沉思”，故用名詞thought。9When解析：考查連詞。when引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，意為“當(dāng)時候”，符合語境。10rooms解析：考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。根據(jù)語境可知，系主任把他們安排在不同的房間，因此此處表示復(fù)數(shù)概念，故用rooms。一高考單詞識記·思考·運(yùn)用1核心詞匯burst

yard.”及下文介紹的為父母買禮物的內(nèi)容可知，此處指作者認(rèn)為這是一個給父母買他們欣賞的東西的好機(jī)會。deserve“值得，應(yīng)得”；appreciate“感激，欣賞”；advertise“為做廣告”；imagine“想象”。4C根據(jù)下文的“but all of my siblings(兄弟姊妹)agreed to give some money to

northern Ohio, you don't plant maple trees at Christmas”“a special Christmas in October before the ground”可知，作者他們決定在土地上凍之前讓父母度過一個特別的圣誕節(jié)。freeze“結(jié)冰”符合語境。soften“變軟，軟化”。8A根據(jù)上下文語境可知，作者詢問姑姑是否可以幫忙實(shí)施這個“騙局(trick)”。9A根據(jù)上下文語境可知，作者的姑姑提前(in advance)給作者的父母打電話說她會在周日來拜訪。in time“及時”；by

October”可知，作者他們在十月份的時候已經(jīng)為父母送上了一份特別的圣誕節(jié)禮物，而在真正的圣誕節(jié)到來的時候，他們又不能空手去拜訪自己的父母，故作者的父母那年是收到了雙份的(double)圣誕節(jié)禮物。additional“額外的”。18D根據(jù)上下文語境可知，時隔幾乎半個世紀(jì)之后，當(dāng)作者看到那些高大、漂亮的楓樹(trees)時依然(still)會面帶微笑地駛過那個農(nóng)場。19B參見上題解析。20B作者看著那些楓樹時，會想起自己多年前在特別的圣誕節(jié)送給父母特別的禮物(gift)。上文中的“presents

Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to.  1 Its probably more than shyness. It may build up into a powerful fear. As a result, people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities. This is called social phobia (also called social anxiety). 2 It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunchroom, joining an after-school club, or going to a party. Sometimes, they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help. Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further.It is really sad, isnt it? But the good news is that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and communicating skills and stop avoiding things that make them nervous. Of course its not always easy. Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and the willingness to practice.  3 Therapists (治療師) can help people create a plan for facing social fears and build the skills and confidence to overcome it. And family or friends are especially important for them. 4Friends and family can encourage them to pick a small goal to aim for, remind them to go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged. Good friends and family are there to celebrate each small success along the way.Little by little, someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable.  5 As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun.A. Friends can overcome their fears.B. But for some, the anxiety can be extreme.C. They are not able to make eye contact with classmates.D. Social phobia makes people lonely or disappointed over missed opportunities.E. It also takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.F. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step.G. The support from those key people helps them gather the courage to try something new.【文章大意】本文為說明文。講述的是社交恐懼癥的危害和解決辦法。1.B 【解析】根據(jù)上文可知此處表示對于某些人來說，這種焦慮可能是極端的。，故選B。2.D 【解析】根據(jù)本段的內(nèi)容可知，本段表示的是社交恐懼癥的不良影響，與D項(xiàng)（社交恐懼癥使人孤獨(dú)或?qū)﹀e過的機(jī)會感到失望）一致，故選D。4.G 【解析】根據(jù)上文可知此處表示家人和朋友的支持在幫助克服社交恐懼癥時的重要性，與G項(xiàng)一致，故選G。5.F 【解析】根據(jù)上下句可知此處表示每一步的成功幫助建立足夠的信心進(jìn)行下一步，故選F。12
