24、   One day in the eighth grade, I was taking a Math Test trigonometry (三角学) . Now for a middle school student, there was nothing easy about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before. After reviewing it for some time, I had started to understand it, so then I closed the book and _________. However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, I tried my best to work out the hard problems, but the numbers I came up with were strange. I sat back on my chair and looked for any possible answers, but I could not remember anything or think correctly. I started thinking about my dad coming home from work to find that I failed the test.

“How could you have failed the test? I am sure that nobody else in the whole class got as bad a grade as you did!”

Naturally I didn’t want that to happen. My dad was also really busy at work at present, so I was afraid that this may make him mad. When feeling hopeless, I noticed that my table partner was writing fast on his test. I was attracted to look over at his test, but then the many bad results I had heard about cheating (作弊) came into my mind. I know that if I started cheating now, it would be hard to give up that habit during high school. In the end, I decided not to copy his answers, and got a B on that test. Even though my dad gave me a hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.

【1】The writer might feel________ before the Math Test.

A.surprised B.relaxed C.worried

【2】Which is the best expression to fill in the blank (空白处) in the passage?

A.had breakfast B.went to bed C.rode to school

b. The writer prepared for the test.

c. The writer was afraid that his father would be mad at him.

d. The writer tried to work out the hard problems.

A.c-b-d-a B.b-d-c-a C.d-a-c-b

A.got a good grade at last B.didn’t cheat at last C.didn’t work hard that night

25、   Some students get so nervous before an exam that they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology (心理学) professor at the University of Chicago, has studied these highly anxious (焦虑的) exam-takers.

“They start worrying about the results. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry，it actually uses up attention and memory resources that we could otherwise be using to focus (集中) on the exam.” says Sian Beilock.

The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second test.

The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second exam would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.

Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 20% worse on the second exam. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%.

Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things not connected to the test.

Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who wrote about their feelings got an average grade of  B＋，compared with a B－for those who did not.

But what can they do if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and they can still improve their performance.

【1】In which paragraph does the author introduce the background of his study?

A. In the last paragraph. B. In the second paragraph.

C. In the third paragraph. D. In the first paragraph.

【2】According to Sian Beilock, if you want to succeed in an exam, you should ________.

A. focus your attention on the exam B. be as serious as you can about the exam

C. set clear study goals and keep them D. make a careful preparation for the exam

【3】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph means “_______”.

A. looking for a chance B. preparing for the exam

C. writing about the feelings D. taking the exam

【4】We can infer (推断) from the study that students who sit quietly before the exam ______.

A. are more likely to get better exam results

B. worry more about the exam in their mind

C. have a positive attitude towards exam results

D. have a strong will to be successful in the exam

26、   LONDON—Manchester is Britain’s fattest city, a survey for “Men’s Health” has found, beating Glasgow for the first time since the magazine started examining the issue three years ago.

Editor Pete Muir said the survey had looked at a variety of factors from gym membership to heart disease rates to find the fattest city. “Manchester has more fast food restaurants than anywhere else in the UK,” he told Reuters. “People are taking the easy choice—eating and then just sitting in front of the TV.”

Manchester’s problem is part of a wider trend. On Thursday, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) blamed a lack of exercise and poor diet for a fifth of adult Britons being obese (过度肥胖的). “Obesity is a major risky factor connected with heart disease, diabetes and premature death (糖尿病和早亡).” said an ONS survey. “None of the 108 young men in the survey reported eating five portions of fruit or vegetables on average each day.”

In Manchester, the head of the city’s public health programs said he did not believe that they were necessarily the fattest city, but that they did have problems and were aiming to address them. Social deprivation (贫困) was a major factor. “One of the myths is that the stressed-out rich businessman is the one who is overweight,” David Regan told Reuters. “In fact, it is the poor areas that have the most problems. We aim not to be the fattest but the fittest city but we have a long way to go.”

Second in the survey is Stoke-on-Trent, followed by Liverpool, Swansea and Lecicester. Glasgow is sixth.

【1】Manchester took the place of __________ and became Britain’s fattest city.

A.Liverpool B.London C.Stoke-on-Trent D.Glasgow

【2】Obesity may lead to the following EXCEPT __________.

A.Heart disease B.diabetes C.premature death D.a lack of exercise

【3】This article is most probably taken from __________.

A.a newspaper B.a science book C.a novel D.a biography

27、

Picky, Picky

Scientists have no idea exactly why birds choose certain objects to build their nests. But scientists know that the main reason birds build nests is to keep their babies safe, warm and healthy. 

Baby birds grow faster and are healthier when they are warm. They also learn to fly and leave the nests sooner than birds without warm homes.

What A Yarn (纱)Is  

Yarn is big on an oriole’s shopping list during nest building. Scientists are still trying to work out why so many birds choose white yarn over other colors for nest building. 

Scientists think that the white objects remind birds of cotton fluff (绒毛) they find in the wild. 

Do It Naturally

Even though birds can help us recycle some of our junk by using it to build nests, they also need to use lots of natural things. Long grass, dried sticks, spider’s silk and mud are some of the natural ingredients that are good for nests, too. 

You can make a collection box of things to leave for birds so they can help themselves. Hang a small plastic box with holes on a tree branch. Fill the box freely with nest building goodies. Hang the box on a tree and watch birds climb on board to pick through the junk to find their treasures. 

Warning: Don’t let the birds turn into a tasty treat. Keep your bird station away from places where cats hang out. 

For The Birds!

Stop! Don’t throw all that garbage out! Give some to the birds. Look and see how your old junk can help beautify and warm a bird’s new home.

【1】The baby birds with warm homes are able to ___________.

A.learn to fly earlier B.grow slower

C.build better nests D.leave the nests safer

【2】What can people make for birds to build nests?

A.A warning board. B.Holes on a tree branch.

C.Food in the garbage. D.A collection box of things.

【3】What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To tell us how birds build nests.

B.To show the importance of nests to birds.

C.To tell humans what they can do to help birds.

D.To show the bad relationship between birds and cats.
