Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
The structure of an essay includes four parts: title, opening paragraph, body and conclusion.
Your title should reflect the thesis or central argument of your essay. Avoid repeating the topic as assigned(or selected).
Begin with a statement about the general topic and proceed to your particular thesis(论文) and approach to it. This structure will orient(使确定方向) your reader. Avoid giving a summary of what is to follow. Avoid writing about your essay; write only about your subject.(In other words, avoid such statements as: "In this section I shall discuss x" Simply discuss x.)
The middle section of the essay should be divided into carefully connected paragraphs, each consisting of four to eight sentences. Avoid overly long or short paragraphs. Each paragraph should contain one major point, and must be related logically and grammatically to the preceding and following ones. Use connecting words(such as: however, therefore, in addition, nevertheless, and so on) to ensure smooth and clear transitions(过渡) between points and paragraphs. Never apologize. Avoid too such statements as "in my opinion", since the entire essay is assumed to be your opinion—that is, an opinion based upon and supported by material from the texts.
Since the argument has built up to your strongest point, your conclusion should begin with what your argument proved—your thesis. A brief and reworded summary of your main points could follow for emphasis, but a plodding(单调乏味的) repetition should be avoided. End with an "opening outwards" to the general implications of your findings, remembering that the reader should be left with a feeling of your conviction, not your doubt or hesitation.
In the opening paragraph, you should avoid ______.

A. orienting your reader
B. discussing x
C. writing only about your subject
D. writing about your essay

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: Are you afraid to raise your hand in class, even when you know the answer? If you are, most people would say that you're shy.
If you feel shy, you're not alone. Nine out of ten people are at least a little shy. But however shy you are, scientific evidence seems to show that it isn't your fault. You may have been born that way.
How do psychologists measure shyness? One way is by observation. They keep detailed records of people's actions—like how often these people speak to others, or how long it takes someone to say hello to a stranger,
Another way to measure shyness is to ask people questions. The test only takes about 10 minutes. It asks questions like "Do you like going out a lot?" and "Do you have many friends?" People must answer either yes or no. These questions can predict how people actually behave in social situations. Suppose the test tells you that someone is shy, chances are good that that person will act shy.
When scientists measure shyness, they're really comparing degrees of shyness. In other words, when researchers say people are shy, they really mean they are shyer than others.
(27)

A. Because people don't know how to behave in social situations.
Because most people are shy by nature.
C. Because nobody will laugh at you for being shy.
D. Because shyness is difficult to overcome.
