21、Exams can be very stressful and it’s not surprising that people who feel anxious about them tend to perform worse compared to those who don’t experience such anxiety. What is surprising, according to the research published in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald at the Leibniz Institute and her colleagues, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall that leads to the problem; it is the pressure of revision.
Dr. Theobald launched a study which involved 309 German medical students who used a digital-learning platform to prepare for their final state exam. To assess their levels of anxiety, the students were asked to rate them on a five-point scale for 40 days leading up to the exam, as well as on the day of the exam and the mock exam (模拟考) taken 40 days prior.
What Dr. Theobald found was not what she expected. Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict it was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the earlier digital-learning activities. High levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place actually hampered students, leaving them with less material to recall during the exam itself.
And this is a positive discovery, for it suggests a change of approach to revision by the anxious might help improve their results. Dr. Theobald notes that test-anxiety is at its worst when students have low expectations of success and meanwhile know that passing the exam is extremely important. To reduce this anxiety, she proposes a two-fold strategy for students to consider as they revise. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can attach less importance to the test by reminding themselves that, while it is important, it is not a life-or-death situation. It really isn’t. Really…
【1】What is a cause of poor exam performance according to the research?
A.Pressure from peers.
B.Inexperience in tests.
C.Atmosphere in exam halls.
D.Tension during revision.
【2】How did Dr. Theobald conduct the research?
A.By grading participants’ levels of knowledge.
B.By comparing participants’ approaches to revision.
C.By analyzing participants’ anxiety levels and exam performance.
D.By collecting participants’ previous data from a learning platform.
【3】What does the underlined word “hampered” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Restricted.
B.Assisted.
C.Misled.
D.Motivated.
【4】What strategy does Dr. Theobald recommend to reduce test anxiety?
A.Setting ambitious goals.
B.Boosting self-confidence.
C.Ignoring the significance of a test.
D.Lowering the expectations of success.
22、In an effort to fight the “throw-away culture” and promote reuse and repair, the city of Berlin has taken the unique step of opening its own secondhand department store.
This isn’t your grandma’s thrift shop (旧货商店). It resells perfectly good items that would otherwise be thrown away. A pun on the German words for “department store” and “conserving house”, B-Wa(h)renhaus sells a wide variety of products. Far from simply selling old items, the electronic goods have been fixed by expert technicians and come with a year’s guarantee. And, to reach more secondhand shoppers, the store was set up right in the middle of the famous Karstadt department store.
With the success of its initial six-month trial run, the city plans to open four more similar operations in other parts of Berlin. By 2030, it hopes to have at least one location in each of Berlin’s 12 districts. Since 2008, city policies and educational campaigns have reduced average annual household waste by about 25 pounds per resident. It also recycles about 49% of its mineral construction waste. Currently, the city estimates that 8% of abandoned electronic goods and 6% of huge items thrown away can actually be reused. The goal is to expand the market for these items beyond the usual bargain hunters and eco-conscious consumers.
“Three years ago, we started collecting all kinds of used goods,” city spokesperson Dorothee Winden said. “There are lots of things that are well-preserved and functioning but aren’t being used anymore. The goal is to give these things a new life with somebody who can use them.” The store also includes an education center to encourage more sustainable lifestyles — and also gave an award to a project that recycles school uniforms, so that parents don’t have to buy new ones every year.
【1】Why has Berlin opened its own secondhand department store?
A.To attract more shoppers.
B.To promote recycling.
C.To foster traditional culture.
D.To expand secondhand market.
【2】In which aspect is B-Wa(h)renhaus different from the traditional thrift store?
A.The variety of the goods.
B.The location of the store.
C.The quality of the products.
D.The operation of the store.
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A.Berlin currently has 4 second-hand stores in construction.
B.Berlin has been successful in cutting its waste since 2008.
C.It is not easy to make the goal to expand the market a reality.
D.It is estimated that Berlin will be a zero-waste city by 2030.
【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce Berlin’s new reuse shop operation.
B.To raise people’s awareness of reasonable shopping.
C.To persuade people to become eco-friendly shoppers.

23、 Wang Tao, a Chinese fashion designer, released her fall-winter 2019 collection in New York on February 9, the tenth time her brand, Taoray Wang, has been featured at the New York Fashion Week.
Sitting on the front row of the show were U. S. President Donald Trump's younger daughter Tiffany Trump with her mother Marla Maples, as well as former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Tiffany Trump, a fan of Taoray Wang, wore a white double-breasted coat by Wang to her father's inauguration(就职典礼)ceremony in January 2017.
Wang's latest collection, Eternity, is partly inspired by Tiffany Trump. In this collection, Wang combines the unconventional beauty of the 1970s, represented by famous American model Lauren Hutton and the female look favored by people such as Tiffany Trump.
The two women are from two different age groups with two different styles but both are confident and brave, said Wang while attending her show in Manhattan. "Beauty is not about time or age. It's all about attitude."
Along with China's growing economic strength, Chinese fashion has gradually gained worldwide attention, said Wang, adding that only when more and more foreigners wear clothes designed by Chinese people, will it mean a real rise of Chinese fashion on the global stage.
Wang has a diverse background. With a degree in history from East China Normal University in Shanghai, Wang got a second degree in fashion from Japan's top fashion institute Tokyo Mode Gakuen, where she received five international awards in design. She was selected by Junko Koshino—a well-known Japanese designer, to head the studio as the chief men's designer.
To realize her global career ambitions, Wang then left Japan to go to the UK where she worked as a leading designer. In 2002 she returned to China and led the repositioning of broadcast: bo, making it one of the top 10 Chinese women's labels. Wang is currently a board member of the Shanghai Ribo Fashion Group.
