A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)

Sweaty palms, shaking hands and a racing heart! This is what many

students experience when they take a big test. When anxiety(焦虑）

kicks in, students can completely lose concentration, leading to poor

scores. But is there any solution to such stress?

The key to reducing test anxiety is writing. According to a recent

report in the journal Science, taking a few minutes before an exam to

write about all those fears could help students perform better.

The study was conducted by Professor Sian L. Beilock, from the University of Chicago, and his graduate student Gerardo Ramirez.

First, the researchers asked 20 college students to take a maths test to get a base-lined score. Next, they told the students that they could get a monetary award if they got a good score, and that they were being videotaped.

Before beginning the main test, the researchers asked one group of students to spend 10 minutes writing down their anxieties about the test, while the other group sat quietly. Both groups then took the same exam.

The researchers found that students who sat quietly did 12% worse than they had on the pre-test, and the ones who wrote about their anxieties improved their scores by 5%.

Writing enables students to feel refreshed when facing challenging questions on the

examination. However, experts also warn that such a change will not cause students to become any smarter. It can only make them become more relaxed and focused.

69. According to the writer, when people feel anxious, they may ________.

A) drink a lot of water B) have a heart attack

C) kick their feet D) lose concentration

70.The best way to reduce test anxiety is ________.

A) to sit quietly B) to write about your fears

A) Professor Sian L. Beilock alone

B) Professor Sian L. Beilock and his wife

C) Professor Sian L. Beilock and his graduate student

D) Professor Sian L. Beilock and his teammate

72. From the experiment, we learn that________.

A) the two student groups took different tests

B) they could earn money if they did well

C) they needed to finish the test within 10 minutes

D) they were asked to relax before the test

73. Students who sat quietly before the test ________than they had on the pre-test.

A) did 5% better B) did 12% better

C) did 5% worse D) did 12% worse

74. The result of the research has proved that________.

A) writing before a test can make you smarter

C) the two student groups both did well in the exam

D) students dislike challenging questions on the examination

In fact, kids in the US only go to school for 180 days a year. To students, holidays are perfect. However, parents think there are advantages and disadvantages.

On one hand, school holidays a 82 families to spend time together. Many American parents take time off from work during June, July or August to travel with their children on vacation either in the US or in a foreign country. On the other hand, schoolchildren get much more time off school than parents get vacation time. This means that parents with young children may have to pay more in babysitting or daycare costs. As well, the long summer holidays mean that students s 83 get bored.

B 84 going on trips with their parents, American students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during the holidays. For example, some kids enjoy summer camps and outdoor adventure holidays. Such trips are great for adventurous students.

Finally, the traditional school trip to foreign countries is always popular. Students can p 87 their foreign language skills and experience everyday life in a different culture.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (第88题1分；第89—92题每小题2分；第93题3分): (共12分)

An old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning he

was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his holy(圣书）book. One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the holy book just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?"

The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, "I don’t want a bucket of water. I want a basket of water. You’re jus t not trying hard enough," and Grandpa went out of the door to watch the boy if he would do. The boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather, the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, “See G randpa, it’s useless."

"So you think it is useless." The old man said, "Look at the

basket." The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized

that the basket was different. It had been changed from a dirty old

coal basket and was now clean, inside and outside.

So, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not

understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will

be changed, inside and outside!

March 16th is World Sleep Day. This year’s topic (标语) is “Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the advantages of good and healthy sleep.

Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night. But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia (失眠）which might keep them awake all night.

These sleeping problems greatly affect people’s lives. Experts have shown that lack of sleep for

teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮丧的).

Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold. 21. grow develop 22. 80/eighty percent 23. fall asleep
