三、阅读理解
20. I am a professor of sports and exercise, so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’s control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.

33. If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?

21. Over millions of years，African penguins have developed a keen sense of where to find food．Once they're old enough，they set off from the shores on which they were hatched（孵化）for the first time and swim long distances in search of tasty fish like anchovies and sardines．But they don't search directly for the fish themselves．When African penguins head out to sea，they look for areas with low surface temperatures and high chlorophyll（叶绿素）．Because those conditions signal the presence of algae（藻类）．And lots of algae means lots of plankton（浮游动物），which in turn means lots of their favorite fish．Well，that's what it used to mean．
Climate change plus overfishing have made the penguin feeding grounds a mirage（海市蜃楼）．The habitat is indeed plankton﹣rich，but now it's fish﹣poor．Researchers call this an "ecological trap．" "It's a situation where you have a signal that previously pointed an animal towards good﹣quality habitat．That habitat has been changed，usually by human pressures．The signal stays，but the quality in the environment gets worse．"
Richard Sherley，a zoologist at the University of Exeter and his team used satellite imaging to track the African penguins from eight sites along southern Africa．Historically，the birds benefited from tons of fish off the coasts of Angola，Namibia and western South Africa，but now they're going hungry．
"I was really hoping we'd see them going east，and finding areas which the fish had moved to but it ends up being quite a sad story for the penguins．" said Richard．The researchers calculate that by falling into this ecological trap，African penguin populations on South Africa's Western Cape have declined by around 80 percent．Some research groups are exploring the idea of moving them to a place where they can't get trapped，like the Eastern Cape．But Sherley thinks that a solution in the long run means making and carrying out rules to create more sustainable（可持续的）fishing industry，which needs public support．
12. How do penguins find their food？
A. They discover fish with their keen sense．
B. They swim long distances directly for fish．
C. They make signals to each other when finding fish．
D. They look for warmer and greener areas．
13. What is an ecological trap for the African penguins？
A. A trap set to catch penguins．
B. A good fish habitat with few fish．
C. A habitat rich in plankton．
D. A mirage on the sea．
14. What can be done to help the penguins in the long run？
A. Move the penguins to other places．
B. Create nature reserves for penguins．
C. Keep a balanced fishing industry．
D. Increase the population of penguins．
15. What is the main idea of the passage？
A. African penguins are losing their habitats．
B. African penguins are falling into ecological traps．
C. A sustainable development is needed．
D. African penguin populations have declined．

12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B
