In today’s world of fast-paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies!
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
4. Generally speaking, people spend ________ on each piece of art in a museum.
A 8 seconds B. 10 seconds C. 15 seconds D. 28 seconds
5. What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to
A. Taking selfies in museums busily. B. Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
C. Admiring each artwork thoroughly. D. Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely.
6. Why is “Slow Art Day” created
A. To stop visitors from taking selfies inside.
B. To attract more people to visit the museums.
C. To make people spend more time on each artwork.
D. To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves.
7. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A. Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
B. Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
C. Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
D. Museums: an Escape from the Fast-paced Life!
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为。全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”,他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds.(许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒)”可知,一般来说,人们花28秒钟来欣赏博物馆里的每一件艺术品。故选D项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies!(一些研究表明,人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间是十秒钟。许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。在伦敦的泰特现代美术馆,情况更糟。那里的人们在每件艺术品上平均只花费8秒钟。在这短短的时间里,游客们还做了另一件重要的事情——自拍!)”可知,现在游客在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,即他们匆匆地看每一件艺术品。所以近年来,博物馆一直在努力改变这种行为。由此推知,“this behavior”指的是匆匆地看每一件艺术品这种行为。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第二三句“Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art.(今天,全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”。他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品)”并结合第二段提到的人们现在平均花费28秒欣赏艺术作品可知,“慢艺术日”要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品。由此推知,设立“慢艺术日”是为了让人们花更多的时间在每一件艺术品上。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds.(许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒)”及第三段第二三句“Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art.(今天,全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”。他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品)”并结合全文内容可知,如今人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为。全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”,他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品。由此可知,C项“博物馆: 慢下来欣赏更多!”适合作文章标题。故选C项。
C
To humans, roads mean connection and escape; to other life-forms, they spell death and division. A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled.
Considering the outsize effects of roads, it’s perhaps surprising that they didn’t truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century. In 1993, Richard Forman, a landscape ecologist, coined an English term: “road ecology,” defined loosely as the study of how “life changes for plants and animals with a road and traffic nearby.” As the 1990s wore on, road ecology gained steam.
Like most people, I at once cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pounddeath machine. One summer, in Alaska, I hit a songbird–a death I didn’t discover until I found the delicate splash of feathers the next day. I’d killed it unconsciously. But I could do nothing.
Road ecology offers one path through this thicket (灌木丛). North America and Europe constructed their road networks with little regard for how they would affect nature. Today, in theory, we know better. Road ecology has revealed the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions. Over the last several decades, its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears, tunnels (隧道) for turtles. In Kenya, elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses.
And road ecology has yielded more than crossings: We’ve also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals, to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies– proof that old mistakes need not be permanent.
Today we’re entering a period that might fairly be considered the golden age of road ecology. The coming years will undoubtedly be transformative ones for our road network. Still, whether we can ever truly undo the harms of our concrete-coated world is far less certain.
8. What may be the reason for the doubled death number by 2017
A. Road noises. B. Traffic accidents. C. Natural disasters. D. Hunting activities.
9. What did the author want to tell us by the experience in Alaska in Paragraph 3
A. Songbirds were common in that area. B. The songbird’s death was undervalued.
C. Driving a car was necessary for his job. D. He was much troubled by the songbird.
10. Which best describes the impact of road ecology
A Far-reaching. B. One-sided. C. Short-lived. D. Unnoticeable.
11. What is the most suitable title for the text
A. How Roads Have Transformed the Natural World B. What Measures Should Be Taken to Protect Animals
C. How Road Ecology Will Change the Future World D. What Difficulties Humans face in Road Construction
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了道路生态使人们开始保护动物,避免动物发生交通事故,进而改变了自然世界。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled.( 半个世纪以前,只有3% 的陆地动物在路上死去;到2017年,这个数字大大增加了一倍。)”可知,2017年死亡数翻倍的原因是交通事故。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Like most people, I at once cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pounddeath machine. One summer, in Alaska, I hit a songbird–a death I didn’t discover until I found the delicate splash of feathers the next day. I’d killed it unconsciously.(像大多数人一样,我立刻就爱上了动物,对驾驶一台3000磅重的死亡机器毫不在意。一年夏天,在阿拉斯加,我撞上了一只鸣鸟——直到第二天我发现了那片纤细的羽毛,我才发现它的死亡。我无意识地杀了它)”可推知,作者想通过第三段在阿拉斯加的经历告诉我们的是,他没有重视鸣鸟的死,故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Today, in theory, we know better. Road ecology has revealed the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions. Over the last several decades, its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears, tunnels (隧道) for turtles. In Kenya, elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses.(今天,从理论上讲,我们更清楚。道路生态学揭示了盲目开发的危害,为我们指明了解决之道。在过去的几十年里,它的从业者为熊建造了桥梁,为海龟建造了隧道。在肯尼亚,大象在高速公路和铁路下通过两层楼高的通道缓慢移动)”和倒数第二段中“And road ecology has yielded more than crossings: We’ve also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals, to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies– proof that old mistakes need not be permanent.(道路生态学带来的不仅仅是交叉路口: 我们还学会了绘制和保护某些动物的迁徙地图,学会了设计能滋养蜜蜂和蝴蝶的路边——证明旧的错误不一定是永久性的)”可知,道路生态使人们为保护动物做出了一些改变;由此可推知,道路生态所带来的影响是深远的,故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“Considering the outsize effects of roads, it’s perhaps surprising that they didn’t truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century. In 1993, Richard Forman, a landscape ecologist, coined an English term: “road ecology,” defined loosely as the study of how “life changes for plants and animals with a road and traffic nearby.” As the 1990s wore on, road eco logy gained steam.(考虑到道路的巨大影响,它们直到20世纪末才真正得到应有的科学价值,这或许令人惊讶。1993年,景观生态学家理查德·福尔曼(Richard Forman)创造了一个英语术语:“道路生态学”,宽泛地定义为研究“附近有道路和交通的动植物的生活如何发生变化”随着20世纪90年代的过去,道路生态开始蓬勃发展)”以及第四度和第五段介绍了道路生态所带来的深远影响——使人们为保护动物做出了一些改变可知,文章主要介绍了道路生态使人们开始保护动物,避免动物发生交通事故,进而改变了自然世界,A项“道路是如何改变自然世界的”适合作文章标题,故选A。
D
Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources(资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored(得分) an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved(提高) 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 unrelated(不相关的) to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not.
"What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, and who'd done our writing intervention(干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and grades. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these tests."
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
12. What do the students start worrying about before an exam
A. Whether they can pass the exams.
B. What other students do during the test.
C. Whether they have remembered the materials.
D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
13. What is the solution developed by researchers
A. Making the students focused on the test.
B. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
C. Having the students write about their worries about the test.
D. Asking the students to direct the attention away from the test.
14. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ____________.
A. became less nervous before the test
B. were better at controlling their feelings
C. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings
D. did better than those who wrote about their feelings
15. We can infer from the last paragraph that ____________.
A. writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit
B. we can only write about our worries right before an exam
C. the best place to write about our worries is in the test room
D. it doesn't matter where we write about our worries before an exam
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一位心理学教授对考前焦虑症的学生的研究及帮助焦虑症学生的方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The students start worrying about the results”(学生们开始担心考试结果)可知,考前学生开始焦虑的是他们的考试结果——是否够能通过考试。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test”(在考试前,高度焦虑的考生花十分钟写下他们对考试的担忧)以及第三和第四段的实验过程和结果可知,让学生写下他们对考试的担忧是研究者研究的解决方案。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored(得分) an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved(提高) 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 unrelated(不相关的) to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not”(贝洛克教授说,那些静静地坐着的人在第二次测试中的平均得分要低12%。但那些写下自己的恐惧的学生的表现平均提高了5%。接下来,研究人员对生物课上低年级的学生进行了测试。他们让学生在期末考试前写下自己的感受,或者想一些与考试无关的事情。贝洛克教授说,那些写了担忧的高度焦虑的学生平均成绩为B+,而那些没有写的学生只得了B)可知,那些写与考试无关的学生的平均成绩没有那些写了担忧的高度焦虑的学生的成绩好。故选C项。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance”(但是如果学生们在考试前没有机会写下他们的恐惧呢 贝洛克教授说,学生可以在家里或图书馆里自己尝试,仍然可以提高他们的表现)可知,考试前在哪里写对考试的担忧并不重要。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国传统小吃——煎饼的历史及流行。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意:虽然中国的饺子已经传遍了世界各地,煎饼可能是中国保守得最好的烹饪秘密了。分析句子结构可知,空处需填连词,根据句意可知,前后构成让步关系,故用表示让步关系的连词Although或Though或While,表示“尽管,即使”。故填Although或Though或While。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:每个社区都有自己的煎饼小贩,从黎明到上午10点左右供应早餐,满足了上班路上饥饿的当地人。根据“hungry”可知,空处需填名词,local作名词,表示“当地人”,此处不止一个当地人,故用名词复数。故填locals。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:与你所想的相反,煎饼可不是随便拿就能带走的街头早餐。Contrary to表示“与……相反”,符合句意。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:为了保持煎饼的酥脆,煎饼从来不会提前做好,所以排队等候是中国文化的一部分。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“is cooked”,故空处需填非谓语动词,根据句意可知,煎饼从来不会提前做好是为了保持煎饼的酥脆,故用动词不定式作目的状语。故填To preserve。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:但是,基本上,煎饼是一种值得等待的早餐。根据句意可知,空处需填副词作状语,修饰整个句子。故填basically。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据认为,这种做法起源于三国时期的山东,军事战略家诸葛亮让他的士兵在火上用盾牌做饭。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“had”,故空处需填非谓语动词,“shields”和“hold”之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。故填held。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:模仿这道小吃的挑战之一是,不同地区甚至不同摊主的煎饼食谱都不一样。根据“challenge”可知,空处需填冠词,此处指“模仿这道小吃的挑战”,表示特指,用定冠词。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:许多人认为,没有几个月的练习和师傅的指导,自己做煎饼是不可能的。根据“Many consider it”可知,空处需填形容词作宾补,根据句意可知,此处表示“不可能的”。故填impossible。
【44题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:然而,有几个坚定的外国人成功了,他们在上世纪80年代第一次品尝中国煎饼后,受到启发,将煎饼带给了一位饥饿的观众。分析句子结构可知,“who ____9_____ to bring Jianbing to a hungry audience after their first taste in China back in the 1980s”是定语从句,缺谓语动词,描述过去的事情用一般过去时,先行词是复数名词“foreigners”,和“inspire”是被动关系,故用一般过去时被动语态。故填were inspired。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在英国,梅梅街头小推车的老板梅莉莎和奥利弗·傅先把煎饼的乐趣带到伦敦,现在又把煎饼的乐趣带到曼彻斯特,尽管他们在完善他们的技术方面遇到了很多困难。根据“in”可知,空处需填动名词作宾语。故填perfecting。

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文,续写的词数应为150左右。
As he lay awake that night, Tony could hear his parents discussing his sister Alice's birthday. It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all the toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor.
This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he'd seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, a neighborhood store just down the road from their house.
How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he placed a tin can and a piece of string in a large bag. Then he tied the bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill.
After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately. The smaller trees had already been picked over pretty well, but he was able to find a half-dozen mangoes before noon.
When the sun was high overhead, the hard work began. Nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes, but they were well beyond reach. The other boys took their fruit and went away. Tony used his pocketknife to cut a long piece of bamboo. Then he took the tin can from the bag, tied it to one end of the bamboo stick, and walked over to the base of the mango tree.
He stayed there, holding the tin can high up into the tree. His efforts were occasionally rewarded when a mango dropped into the can. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
On the way back to town, Tony began to worry that the other boys might already have sold or traded their mangoes with Honey House.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
On the way back to town, Tony began to worry that the other boys might already have sold or traded their mangoes with Honey House. When finally reaching Honey House, Tony just rushed in, out of breath. The owner of the store looked at him with a curious look. On hearing Tony's explanation, the owner opened the bag to check the mangoes. To Tony's disappointment, they're not enough to exchange a lovely doll. He walked out with tears rolling down his face when he met the other boys carrying bags of mangoes. Knowing Tony's situation, they decided to gather all their mangoes to give his sister a dream present.
The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table. When subconsciously reaching out for a glass cup, she found a card saying “Look at the sofa.” Then she surprisingly saw the doll she had been dreaming of for a long time. When Tony said “Happy birthday,” Alice couldn't help crying and hugged him tightly. Touched by the warm atmosphere, their parents smiled with pleasure, knowing their son had grown up and reliable enough to take care of his sister. Wealth isn't always where happiness comes from, and love is something that really makes a great difference.

In today’s world of fast-paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies!
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
4. Generally speaking, people spend ________ on each piece of art in a museum.
A. 8 seconds B. 10 seconds C. 15 seconds D. 28 seconds
5. What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to
A. Taking selfies in museums busily. B. Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
C. Admiring each artwork thoroughly. D. Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely.
6. Why is “Slow Art Day” created
A. To stop visitors from taking selfies inside.
B. To attract more people to visit the museums.
C. To make people spend more time on each artwork.
D. To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves.
7. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A. Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
B. Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
C. Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
D. Museums: an Escape from the Fast-paced Life!
C
To humans, roads mean connection and escape; to other life-forms, they spell death and division. A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled.
Considering the outsize effects of roads, it’s perhaps surprising that they didn’t truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century. In 1993, Richard Forman, a landscape ecologist, coined an English term: “road ecology,” defined loosely as the study of how “life changes for plants and animals with a road and traffic nearby.” As the 1990s wore on, road ecology gained steam.
Like most people, I at once cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pounddeath machine. One summer, in Alaska, I hit a songbird–a death I didn’t discover until I found the delicate splash of feathers the next day. I’d killed it unconsciously. But I could do nothing.
Road ecology offers one path through this thicket (灌木丛). North America and Europe constructed their road networks with little regard for how they would affect nature. Today, in theory, we know better. Road ecology has revealed the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions. Over the last several decades, its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears, tunnels (隧道) for turtles. In Kenya, elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses.
And road ecology has yielded more than crossings: We’ve also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals, to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies– proof that old mistakes need not be permanent.
Today we’re entering a period that might fairly be considered the golden age of road ecology. The coming years will undoubtedly be transformative ones for our road network. Still, whether we can ever truly undo the harms of our concrete-coated world is far less certain.
8. What may be the reason for the doubled death number by 2017
A. Road noises. B. Traffic accidents. C. Natural disasters. D. Hunting activities.
9. What did the author want to tell us by the experience in Alaska in Paragraph 3

11. What is the most suitable title for the text
A. How Roads Have Transformed the Natural World B. What Measures Should Be Taken to Protect Animals

D
Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources(资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored(得分) an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved(提高) 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 unrelated(不相关的) to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not.
"What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, and who'd done our writing intervention(干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and grades. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these tests."
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
12. What do the students start worrying about before an exam
A. Whether they can pass the exams.
B. What other students do during the test.
C. Whether they have remembered the materials.
D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
13. What is the solution developed by researchers
A. Making the students focused on the test.
B. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
C. Having the students write about their worries about the test.
D. Asking the students to direct the attention away from the test.
14. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ____________.
A. became less nervous before the test
B. were better at controlling their feelings
C. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings
D. did better than those who wrote about their feelings
15. We can infer from the last paragraph that ____________.
A. writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit
B. we can only write about our worries right before an exam
C the best place to write about our worries is in the test room
D. it doesn't matter where we write about our worries before an exam

As he lay awake that night, Tony could hear his parents discussing his sister Alice's birthday. It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all the toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor.
This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he'd seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, a neighborhood store just down the road from their house.
How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he placed a tin can and a piece of string in a large bag. Then he tied the bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill.
After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately. The smaller trees had already been picked over pretty well, but he was able to find a half-dozen mangoes before noon.
When the sun was high overhead, the hard work began. Nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes, but they were well beyond reach. The other boys took their fruit and went away. Tony used his pocketknife to cut a long piece of bamboo. Then he took the tin can from the bag, tied it to one end of the bamboo stick, and walked over to the base of the mango tree.
He stayed there holding the tin can high up into the tree. His efforts were occasionally rewarded when a mango dropped into the can. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
On the way back to town, Tony began to worry that the other boys might already have sold or traded their mangoes with Honey House.
