26、If you are someone who struggles with exam anxiety, know that you aren’t alone.

Some levels of stress are normal, and they do serve a purpose. Stress can improve your work performance, think more quickly and more efficiently. 【1】 These high levels of stress and anxiety have harmful effects on both your mental health and your performance. Fortunately, there are things that you can do to try and relieve this.

Simply being aware of what is causing your anxiety -can help to lessen the effects. Try to take some time to reflect on what could be causing your anxiety. 【2】 In terms of exam anxiety, it could be linked to a few different factors. For example, if you’re someone that tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, you might experience higher levels of exam anxiety. 【3】.

Most of the time, the key to exam anxiety is making full preparations. Make an early start on your revision. Starting 6 weeks before the exam is usually recommended. 【4】 Take enough time to do yourself justice.

【5】 Studying constantly will make you worn out, and you may even feel burnt out —long before you even get the chance to sit the exam. Make sure that you have at least one day off from revision a week. Take regular breaks for exercise to help keep your brain active. And always remember to eat nutritious, high-quality foods and drink enough water.

Hopefully, you will be free from exam anxiety in the future.

27、If you bought some candy months ago but never ate it, how can you tell whether it is still safe to eat? The easiest way is to check the “use-by date” printed on the wrapper. If that date has already passed, you’re likely to throw the candy away.

But is that really necessary?According to a new report from the US Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), tons of food is wasted each year, largely because people don't fully understand what expiration （截止日期）dates, or “use-by dates”, actually mean.

Food dating was introduced in the 1970s because consumers wanted more information about the things that they were eating. When they first showed up, use-by dates were only supposed to indicate freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions.

But the truth is that these dates aren't related to the risk of food poisoning or food borne illness, according to Time News. However, most customers misinterpreted use-by dates and related them to the safety of the food, and they still largely do now. Eggs, for example, can still be eaten three to five weeks after purchase even though the use-by date is much earlier. When their use-by dates pass, strawberry flavored drinks may lose their red color and biscuits may lose their crunch (松脆), but they are not harmful.

“It's a confusing subject, the difference between food quality and food safety，” said Jena Roberts, vice president of National Food Lab, a US food testing company. “Even in the food industry I have colleagues who get confused.”

This is why scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use-by dates. “We want this to be clearly communicated so consumers are not misunderstanding the data and contributing to a lot of waste,” said Dana Gunders, a staff scientist with the NRDC.

But this won't be a mistake that is easy to correct since people have believed it for so long . Another problem is that the quality levels of different foods change differently—some are still safe to eat long after their use-by date while others are not..

As a result, food industry officials are now thinking of changing the use-by date to a date indicating when food is most likely to go bad.

【1】The use-by date was first intended to ________.

A．show the safety of food

B．give a warning of food poisoning

C．tell the freshness of food.

D．indicate the relation between food and illness

【2】The underlined word “misinterpreted” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A．made guesses about

B．formed a wrong idea about

C．made wrong use of

D．took no notice of

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Most customers understand what use-by dates mean.

B．“Use-by dates” have existed for more than 50 years.

C．Biscuits can't be eaten when not as crunchy as they are bought.

D．Even after their use-by dates pass, some foods are still safe to eat.

【4】Scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed together with the use-by dates because ________.

A．use-by dates are not helpful or reliable

B．most consumers often misunderstand use-by dates

C．more consumers get worried about food safety

D．the quality level of different foods changes differently

28、In the far,far future,bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power,and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer（飞碟）.Imagine a race between them!

There may be telepathy helmets（心灵感应帽）that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away.You just think a thought and your friend knows it!You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on!

What about the food of the future?Scientists think.that much of it will be artificial—made in factories from such surprising things as coal,limestone,air,and water.The artificial food will be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it.

The future hospitals will probably have "body banks" that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living.People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years.

What about highways of the future?Well,a very small child probably will be able to drive a car.Nobody will need to steer（驾驶）.Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the "driver" wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together.Controls that won't even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes.Driving cars will be as safe as being at home.

But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control.Cities may have giant plastic domes（圆顶罩）over them to keep out snow,rain,or storms.When you plan a picnic in a park,you won't have to worry about rain.It will rain only when the "weatherman" thinks it is necessary to fresh the air inside the city.All other days will be fair and warm.

The future should be a wonderful time in which to live and the time we are living in now is also a wonderful future to the people who lived 100 years ago.

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A. With telepathy helmets,we can share our thoughts without any word.

B. The artificial food made from coal and limestone tastes the most delicious in the future.

C. There will be “body banks” instead of hospitals in the future.

D. Plastic domes themselves can automatically control the weather.

【2】With the future highways,_______.

A. small children have to learn to drive

B. car accidents still couldn't be avoided

A. optimistic   B. pessimistic

C. satisfied   D. doubtful

29、Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north.

Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.

According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.

Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn’t matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What’s more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.

However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.

【1】Which of the following would be the best title for the Passage?

A. Ways to protect our planet.

B. Solutions to climate change.

C. Be prepared for climate change.

D. Climate change and its effects.

【2】What is the author’s purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?

A. To show the damage earthquakes caused.

B. To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.

C. To show major changes are taking place on the planet.

D. To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.

【3】What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Separated.   B. Destroyed.

C. Removed. D. Affected.

【4】What can be inferred from the Passage?

A. Animals and plants won’t die out as long as climate changes slowly.

B. There’s enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.

C. The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.

D. The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.
