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 Illinois Chicago, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when they 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 an average of 12% worse on the second test. 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 unrelated 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, who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. 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.
( )1.What may 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.
( )2.What is the solution developed by the two researchers
A.Asking the students to think nothing of the test.
B.Asking the students to focus on the test.
C.Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
D.Asking the students to write about their worries before the test.
( )3.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 took two tests
( )4.What can be learned from the last paragraph
A.Writing about worries before an exam can work a bit.
B.Studying in the library can improve students’ performance.
C.Students can only write about worries right before an exam.
D.It doesn’t matter where to write about worries before an exam.

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.”可知,思考与考试无关的事情的学生平均成绩为B-,写下自己感受的学生平均成绩为B+,由此可知,根据Beilock教授的说法,那些思考与考试无关的事情的人的表现比那些写下自己感受的人差。故选C。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“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.”可知,学生在考试前如果没有机会立马写下自己的感受也可以在家里或图书馆尝试写下感受,这样仍能提高他们的成绩,由此可知,从最后一段可以得知考试前在哪里写下担忧并不重要。故选D。
