I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn't think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55, 000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start—there's a dark period in between where you're neither one thing nor the other. You're out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say, "Well, I'm writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there." My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent(代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two and a half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, realty. When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同) of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.

There is no denying that everyone has felt worried or upset before a contest or sports game. A study in 2000 found that "high levels of anxiety during competitions are harmful, worsening the performance and even leading to dropping out". An example of this is John Daly, an American golf player who was once one of the best of his time. The great amount of pressure placed on him to win made him extremely anxious. His anxiety reached such a high level that he was unable to complete a tournament and walked off the course in the middle of the round. Over the course of his career, he quit from 49 professional matches due to the anxiety he experienced.
In fact, anxiety can have a number of negative effects and changes to the body, mind and behavior. Anxiety causes your body to tense up and increases blood pressure. When this happens, it becomes more difficult for your body to move fluently and efficiently, meaning actions and movements become unnatural. The terror you experience as a result of anxiety is so overwhelming that it may even lead to body paralysis(瘫痪). An example of this is stage fright, which may be experienced right before a public competition. When feeling overwhelming fear, the athlete may be unable to move, talk or act at all.
Anxiety has a negative effect on not only athletes, but also students and young people, particularly when it comes to tests and exams. This "test anxiety" occurs in 33% of students and can affect their performance in exams and overall achievements. As time goes on, the age at which children suffer from anxiety is becoming younger.
Anxiety leads to the poor academic performance and low scores. This is because the anxiety becomes so overwhelming that you lose the ability to think clearly. It has been proven that students with anxiety score lower on tests than students who do not suffer from anxiety.
Anxiety can also affect students' willingness to engage in class or participate in class discussions. Again, this can have a negative impact on their performance because they are unable to communicate with the teacher by asking questions. This then leads to confusion and further worry about a task, resulting in additional anxiety. This same worry also applies to peer learning(同伴学习) because this involves sharing ideas with other students. A student with high anxiety is unable to share these ideas, meaning they quit from activities and their learning is limited.
Anxiety reaches such a point that some of the students either refuse to go to school until they are able or drop out completely. In fact, 49% of anxious adults report having left education early and 24% indicate anxiety as the primary reason. After all, how can a person possibly learn something or perform well when their mind and body are in a constant state of terror and worry

答案以及解析
【夯实基础】
1.答案:to do
解析:句意:“你离开之前应该向那位语言学家表示感谢。” “我打算那么做,可是当我要离开的时候,我到处都找不到她。”mean to do sth.意为“打算做某事”。
2.答案:about/by
解析:句意:知道你因为花太多时间上网而感到不安,我很高兴提供一些建议。be upset about/by是固定短语,意为“对……感到不安”。
3.答案:sleeping
解析:句意:这对父母建议在旅馆房间里睡觉,但他们调皮的孩子渴望在旅途中露营。suggest doing sth.表示“建议做某事”。
4.答案:being taken
解析:句意:我仍然记得第一次被带到游乐场的情景。此处非谓语动词作remember的宾语。remember后用非谓语动词作宾语时,可以用v.-ing形式,表示动作已经发生,也可用动词不定式,表示动作还未发生。根据语境可知此处非谓语动词动作已经发生,且与逻辑主语之间是被动关系,故用v.-ing的被动式。
5.答案:Elected
解析:句意:在1962年当选为美国参议员时,盖洛德·纳尔逊参议员决心说服联邦政府,地球正处于危险之中。逻辑主语Senator Gaylord Nelson与elect之间是被动关系,应用过去分词。

A
答案:1-4 CBDA
解析:1.句意猜测题。根据“Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn't think I was any good, then finance.”可知作者频繁换工作,不清楚自己应该做什么。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel.”可知写作是作者一直以来的梦想,故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.”可知,在小说写到一半时,作者开始不确定自己的小说能否出版。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.”可知,作者认为只要坚持梦想,努力就一定会有回报,故选A项。
B
答案:1-4 CDCD
解析:1.主旨大意题。B项为干扰项,以偏概全。文章主要讲了焦虑的负面影响。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。第一段是为导入语篇主题做铺垫。作者借用John Daly的例子说明过多的焦虑对运动员比赛有着负面影响,以便引出下文。
3.细节理解题。第三段中 As time goes on, the age at which children suffer from anxiety is becoming younger.只是说孩子遭受焦虑的年龄提前了,并未说焦虑不会影响老年人。从第二段中The terror you experience as a result of anxiety is so overwhelming that it may even lead to body paralysis(瘫痪).得知paralysis的直接原因是terror。从第六段中In fact,49% of anxious adults report having left education early and 24% indicate anxiety as the primary reason.得知,焦虑只占早期辍学原因的24%。从第五段中 Again, this can have a negative impact on their performance because they are unable to communicate with the teacher by asking questions.得知,C项正确。
4.推理判断题。从第二段中 When this happens, it becomes more difficult for your body to move fluently and efficiently, meaning actions and movements become unnatural.得知A项错误;从第四段 It has been proven that students with anxiety score lower on tests than students who do not suffer from anxiety.得知C项错误。B项没有提及。故选D项。
