VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50 分)
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 pool
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 Gcrardo 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 groupsthen 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

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

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
B 84 going on trips with their parents, American students enjoy taking part in

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
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! 1 try to read the holy book just like you but 1 don't understand it, and what 1 dounderstand 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 just 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 Grandpa, 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.
