5、ery. All we really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds
6、, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. 人们最初是如何发明单词的不得而知，换句话说，语言的起源是个秘密。所有我们所知道的只是，人，不同于动物，不知怎么发明了某些声音来表达思想、情感、行为和物质，以便相互交流；后来统一了某些被称为字母的符号，这些字母可以连起来代表那些声音，可以写下来。我们把那些声音叫做单词，不管他们是口语还是书面语。The power of words, then, lies in their association
7、s - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. 文字的
8、力量在于其联系性它们把这些联系性带到我们的头脑中。通过经历，单词对我们充满了意义。我们活得越久，某些单词就越能使我们回忆起过去的喜怒哀乐；我们越是阅读和学习，有意义的单词数量就越增加。Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call lite
9、rary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly a
10、nd vulgar. (239words)伟大的作家是那些不仅具有伟大思想而且能用词汇来表达这些思想的人，他们的思想强烈地震撼着我们的心灵和情感。单词的这种美妙和寓意用法就是我们所谓的文学性。总之，真正的诗人是文字的掌握着。他可以用音乐般的词汇来表达自己的意思，这些词汇凭借其所用环境和联系性能让人感动得流泪。因此，我们应该学会仔细选择所用词汇并准确使用，否则会使我们说的话可笑又粗俗。6.

11、idden or secret.C. a question difficult to answer. D. a problem not yet solved 7. What is true about words? 关于词汇哪一项是对的？他们是简单的声音A. They are used t to express feelings only. B.

14、great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive
15、clothes?羞怯是许多人不快乐的原因。害羞的人焦虑不安，自我意识强，也就是说，他们过分在意自己的形象和行为。焦虑时常萦绕在他们的脑海中：我给人留下了什么印象?他们喜欢我吗?我让人觉得很傻吗? 我的穿着是否不吸引人?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feeling must negatively affect people. A persons conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves
16、 affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.显而易见，这种不舒适的感觉必然给人们带来了不利的影响。一个人的自我意识反映在他或她的行为上，而一个人的行为会影响他人的反应。一般而言，人们认识自己的方式对他们的生活的方方面面有深远的影响。Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily
17、influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism: they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one: “Youre just saying that to make
18、me feel good. I know its not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.羞怯的人非常自卑，他们可能很被动，容易受他人的影响。他们需要得到他人的再次确认：他们所做的是“正确的事情” 。羞怯的人对批评很敏感，他们认为批评使得他们更低人一等。他们也发现自己很难因为受到类似的表扬而高兴，如：你刚才所说的使我感觉很好。我知道那不是真的。很明显，尽管具有自知之明是件好事，但过度自谦则是有害的。Can shyness be complete
19、ly eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. 羞怯能根除吗?或至少能减少些吗?幸运
20、的是，许多人能通过坚决而有耐心地建立自信来克服羞怯。既然羞怯与自卑天生相伴，那么人们能看见他们的优缺点是很重要的。Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Lets not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulf
21、illing life. (289 words)每一个人都是独一无二的，都有其价值所在。我们对我们自己个人的方式感兴趣。我们了解自己越多，我们就越容易充分发挥自己的潜能。不要让羞怯妨碍我们实现富裕而有成效的人生。11.

29、er she said, “Glad to meet you, Miss Ping.“ Then she gave me her name card with three words on it: “Betty J. Black“. So I said, “Thank you, Miss Betty, “We looked at each other and laughed heartily. Later I found that the English people _23_ their family names last and the given names _24_, while th
30、eir middles are _25_ used very much. I explained to her that the Chinese family name _ 26_ first, the given name last, so she _27_ never call me Miss Ping. She asked if we Chinese had a middle name. I told her we didnt. _28_ people may often find three words on a Chinese name card. In this case the

32、只有三个字：Betty J. Black。所以我就对她说：“谢谢，Betty 小姐”。然后我们会心地一笑。后来我发现，英国人将他们的姓放在最后而名字在前边，而他们中间的那个名字并不常用。我对 Betty 解释说中国人的姓放在最前面，名字放在后面，所以她不应该叫我萍小姐。她问中国人是否有中间的名字，我告诉她我们没有。但人们经常发现中国人的名片上有三个字。通常这种情况下姓在前面，姓后面的字是一个两个字的名字。 这在中国很正常。我妹妹叫李晓芳，她的名字当中就有两个字，而我的名字只有一个字。21.

The answer varies among people. Some believe that money is the sou
36、rce of happiness, because money provides food for the hungry, medicine for the sick, and clothes for the needy. While others hold that money is the root of evils, because it is the devil of money that drives a person to die, cheat, steal, and, worst of all, to murder.In my opinion, money is essentia
37、l to being well-off, but not necessarily to well-being. Happiness is a state of mind, not something that can be bought. All in all, happiness is less a matter of buying what we want than a wanting what we have.金钱能买到快乐吗？金钱能买到快乐吗？这是一个仁者见仁智者见智的问题.一些人相信金钱是幸福的来源，因为金钱可以给饥饿的人提供食物，给生病的人提供药品，给贫困的人提供衣服。然而，其他人认为金钱是罪恶的根源，因为金钱这个恶魔可以促使一个人死亡，欺诈，偷盗，最可怕的是谋杀。以我的观点，金钱是富有的基础，但并不是幸福的必然。幸福是内心的感悟，不是任何东西可以买到的。总而言之，幸福不是我们想要买的物质的东西,而是我们想要拥有的精神的东西.Test 8 模拟题答案一. 交际用语 1- 5 CBACA 二阅读理解 6-10 DCDBA 11-15 BABCB 三. 词汇与结构 16-20 ABCAC四. 完型填空 21-25 BCADB 26-30 BCACD
