　　About 40 percent of Americans think of themselves as shy, while only 20 percent say they have never suffered from shyness at some point in their lives. Shyness occurs when a person’s apprehensions are so great that they　1　his making an expected or desired social response.　2　of shyness can be as minor as　3　to make eye contact when speaking to someone,　4　as major as avoiding conversations whenever possible.

　　“Shy people tend to be too　5　with themselves,” said Jonathan Cheek, a psychologist, who is one of those at the forefront of current research on the topic. “　6　, for a smooth conversation, you need to pay attention to the other person’s cues　7　he is saying and doing. But the shy person is full of　8　about how he seems to the other person, and so he often　9　cues he should pick up. The result is an awkward lag in the conversation. Shy people need to stop focusing on　10　and switch their attention to the other person.”

　　11　, shy people by and large have　12　social abilities than they think they do.　13　Dr. Cheek videotaped shy people talking to　14　, and then had raters (评估者) evaluate how socially skilled the people were, he found that, in the　15　of other people, the shy group had few　16　problems. But when he asked the shy people themselves　17　they had done, they were unanimous in saying that they had been social flops (失败).

　　“Shy people are their own　18　critics,” Dr. Cheek said.　19　he added, shy people feel they are being judged more　20　than they actually are, and overestimate how obvious their social anxiety is to others.

　　Text 19答案

　　1. 【答案】B

　　【解析】 inhibit意为“阻止，抑制”，后面可直接跟名词或动名词，如：Thirst inhibits the desire to eat.口渴妨碍食欲。而prevent，keep虽也意为“阻止”，但常用结构为prevent/keep sb.from doing sth.因此这里inhibit为最佳选项。

　　2. 【答案】A

　　【解析】symptom意为“症状，病症”，在文中的意思是“害羞的症状就是……”。

　　3. 【答案】B

　　【解析】fail to do sth.不能做某事，句意为：害羞的人不能在与别人交谈时与别人进行眼神交流。因此，B项最合逻辑。

　　4. 【答案】C

　　【解析】or表示一种选择关系，根据上句...can be as minor as. . .，“可能微小到……”，又根据后面的...as major as...，“能大到……”，由此可知应是一种选择关系，因此用or。

　　5. 【答案】A

　　【解析】preoccupied意为“心事重重的;关注于……的”，此句意为：害羞的人趋于对他们自己过分关注

　　6. 【答案】C

　　【解析】因为前面提出一个观点，害羞的人往往过分关注自己，这里便举例证明这个观点，因此C项为最佳选项。

　　7. 【答案】C

　　【解析】注意前面出现的cues，这个词意为“(言词、行为之)暗示，提示”。因为后面一句是用来解释说明cues的，因此应选What he is saying and doing.他在说什么话和做着什么动作。
