26、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 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 researchers?
A．Asking the students to ignore 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 wrote about their feelings
【4】What can be learned from the last paragraph?
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.
27、So long as teachers fail to distinguish(区别) between teaching and learning, they will continue to try to do for children what only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity: It can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny(审查).
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them correctly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated(消除). Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.
【1】 The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that____.
A. it is one of the most difficult school courses
B. students spend endless hours in reading
C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance
D. too much time is spent in teaching of reading
【2】The teaching of reading will be successful if ____.
A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
C. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading
D. teachers can make their teaching activities observably
【3】According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ____.
A. children become highly motivated
B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable
C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge
D. reading enriches children’s experience
【4】The main idea of the passage is that ____.
A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read
B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible
C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught
D. reading is more complicated than generally believed
28、This Ardie is not a place for the weak. This vast land of wilderness is where people can get up close to nature’s extremes. The place is “no joke”. US photographer Mark Mahaney told PLAIN Magazine. “When midnight sun is replaced by polar night, everything’s different. Eyes to the horizon and it’s nothing. And then more nothing, in every direction.”
One of the most harsh (恶劣的), yet most pristine (原始的) places on Earth, the Arctic has been affected by human activities — exploration, booming tourism and most importantly, global warming in recent decades.
Scientists have been recording changes in the Arctic. Its sea ice minimum in summer, for example, has reduced by 40 percent in the past 30 years. These changes have done harm to the Arctic and the human, animal and plant life that calls it home.
But the impact of these changes is not restricted to the inhabitants of this area alone. In fact, it could be said that the weight of the world relies on this icy region.
The Earth’s steady climate depends on the Arctic’s sea ice, which acts as a huge white reflector at the top of the planet, bouncing some of the sun’s rays back into space. The more Arctic sea ice melts, the less light is reflected, and the more the dark oceans will absorb the sun’s radiation (辐射).
With visible changes in the global climate, the Arctic has given us a wake-up call — what happens up in the North doesn’t just stay there. It comes with a high cost to the world at large. It’s time for us to pay attention to this freezing region and learn more about what’s happening there.
【1】What does the underlined sentence “The place is ‘no joke’” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．The weak are unhappy in the Arctic.
B．The natural conditions are extreme in the Arctic.
C．Photographers are not allowed to take photos.
D．People are banned to make jokes in the Arctic.
【2】What has caused the changes in the Arctic?
A．Animals and plants.
B．Global warming.
C．The activities of human beings.
D．The scientists’ records.
【3】What is the function of the Arctic’s sea ice?
A．To regulate climate.
B．To keep water clean.
C．To attract the sun’s rays.
D．To support the living creatures.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The Most Harsh Land
B．Changes of the Arctic
C．The Arctic Sending Warning Signals
D．Nature’s Extremes Attracting Scientists

30、 The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
