After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance.

How to Study For Exams

Taking exams is stressful, but you can make it easier by improving the way you study. Studying for your exams will keep you from feeling unprepared, and it will set you up for success!

【1】

This is easier said than done, but learning how to take good notes will help you once it comes time to study. Write down everything your teacher writes on the board or puts up in slides. Try to record as much of what the teacher says as possible.

【2】

Studying in a dark room is not recommended (推荐). Add lamps at night, or in the daytime, open the window coverings (open the window a little, too). People tend to study and focus better in a brighter room with little noise.

【3】

Ask yourself: What is my teacher most likely to ask on the exam? What materials the teacher once emphasized (强调) before exams should I focus on so that I can give myself the best chance of knowing what I need to know in exams? This may help you review the most important information for the exams.

【4】

You need some time to have fun and it is better to study when you are feeling relaxed than to exhaust (筋疲力尽) yourself studying all day! Carefully structure your break and study time. Usually, a 20-30 minutes of study and then a 5-minute break is the most effective method.

【5】

If you don’t know the answer to the question, do the next one and come back to it at the end. Struggling and concentrating on a question you don’t know the answer to can be time consuming (消耗), which makes you lose valuable marks.

A．Take breaks

B．Take good notes

C．Turn on the light

D．Pay attention in class

E．Think of your teacher and review well

F．Do the questions you know first

27、   On May 6th, 2020, a 30-member Chinese survey team started the project to measure the height of Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰). Actually it has been measured by many countries. In 1856, a British survey team measured the height of Qomolangma. Their result showed that Qomolangma reached a height of 8,840 meters above sea level. In 1955, the figure (数据) was rewritten by an Indian team to 8,848 meters, and later to 8,850 meters according to a US team in 1999. And in 2005, a Chinese team got a height of 8,844 meters.

It is not an easy task to measure the height of Qomolangma. The average air temperature on the mountain is -29 °C and powerful winds blow all the time. In such extreme conditions, surveying drones (无人机) cannot work at the top of the mountain. That's why it's still necessary to send human experts to the top to get exact results.

Measuring the height of Qomolangma is much more than just getting an exact number. Lying at the place where the Eurasian Plate (板块) meets the Indian Plate, Mount Qomolangma formed 38 million years ago as a result of the two plates hitting, which makes it the perfect window for studying crustal (地壳的) movements. Changes to the mountain's height can suggest whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other.

The survey team will also get firsthand information about the condition of the snow and other natural materials at the top, which could be a sign of climate change on the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau (青藏高原) .

【1】The latest height of Qomolangma is _________ meters in the passage.

A.8,840 B.8,848 C.8,850 D.8,844

【2】The underlined word " extreme " in paragraph 2 means ________ in Chinese.

A.晴朗的 B.极端的 C.刺激性的 D.清晰的

【3】How did Mount Qomolangma appear?

A.Powerful winds blow strongly all the time.

B.The Eurasian Plate meets the Indian Plate.

C.It is the result of the hitting of the plates.

D.The climate changed on the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau.

【4】What will the writer continue to write in paragraph 4?

A.Comparison (比较) of the information they got.

B.Change of the condition of the snow.

C.Change of other natural materials.

D.Analysis (分析) of the change of the climate.

On August 6, Ning Zetao w 【1】  the men’s 100m freestyle(自由泳) final at the world championships in Kazan, Russia. In 47.84 seconds, he b  【2】 the first Asian gold medalist(金牌得主) in an event that used to be a competition between Western swimmers.

Ning c  【3】  from Zhengzhou, Henan province and graduated f  【4】  “The PE college of Zhengzhou University”. Because he has long fought against a stomach problem, he learns to swim to i  【5】  his health. He was also born with a bone (骨头) condition in his right knee. Every time he practiced s 【6】  , he suffered a lot of pain(疼). However, nothing can s 【7】him from practicing hard. As a member of the navy(海军)， he is self-disciplined(自律的).
