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 unfortable 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 municating 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 overe 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 fortable. 5 As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel unfortable and more about what might be fun.A. Friends can overe 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 mitment 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

sofa，totally speechless.解析：考查句意理解以及從屬連詞。本句的意思是：有一天，一位富人帶著他的兒子去鄉(xiāng)村旅行以便讓他的兒子看看窮人是如何生活的；此處用來引導(dǎo)賓語從句，意為：如何；故用how。解析：考查固定短語。be thankful to后面跟人，表示感謝某人；be thankful for后面跟事物，表示對某事物表示感謝；由于此處之后接的是wealth(財富)；故用for。解析：考查連接代詞。此處用來引導(dǎo)賓語從句，由于該從句中缺少主語，故用連接代詞what。解析：考查return的含義。由于return“返回”相當(dāng)于“go back/get back/e back”，即它本身就含有back的意思，其后不能再跟back；故去掉return之后的back。解析：考查謂語動詞。此處在句中作謂語，根據(jù)上文可知，此處講述的是發(fā)生在過去某一天的事情，應(yīng)使用一般過去時；故用replied。解析：考查不定冠詞。此處用來修飾單數(shù)名詞farmer，表示泛指一位農(nóng)民，故在farmer前加a。解析：考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。此處指的是：許多美麗的夜星；由于star為可數(shù)名詞；故用stars。解析：考查人稱代詞。此處用來修飾名詞family，指代的是男孩的家；故用his。解析：考查副詞。此處用來修飾形容詞rich，故用truly。解析：考查固定搭配。leave sb doing 指讓某人保持某動作或狀態(tài)，留下某人；此處指的是：男孩站起來走開了，留下了他的父親坐在他們舒適的沙發(fā)上，完全說不出話來；故用sitting。It was based more on German than the English we speak at

such單數(shù)名詞”意為“沒有這樣的”，其中單數(shù)名詞前不可再加冠詞，相當(dāng)于“not such a/an單數(shù)名詞”。(1)such與a/an連用時要放在a/an的前面；與all，no，some，any，few，little，many，much，several，one等詞連用時，應(yīng)位于它們的后面。(2)suchthat.(3)such.as.像這樣的，as在句中引導(dǎo)定語從句。No such person but Peter can perform so perfectly.除了彼得沒有這樣的人能表演得如此完美。There is no such good thing as a free dinner in this world.As the saying goes，“No pains，no gains.”世上沒有免費的午餐這樣的事。俗話說：“不勞無獲。”Chen Long of China defeated Lee Chong Wei of

She looked at me as though I were from some other planet and said，“Well.” Surprisingly, she followed me out.When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “Gods in his heaven and alls right with the world.” I thanked her for ing out to see it and sharing the beauty. Four years later my situation had changed considerably.
