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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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
7. 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.

When someone damages their backbone, the injury can leave them paralyzed (瘫痪). Now, scientists have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again, thanks to an implanted device.
The human backbone, or spine, doesn’t just help us stand up straight. Inside is the spinal cord, which carries important information between the head and the lower part of the body. This information moves around as bursts of electricity traveling between the brain and the other parts of the body. When the spinal cord is hurt, this pathway gets damaged and they can’t move their legs.
Now scientists in Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again. To help them walk again, the men had surgery. A special device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord, below their injury. This “implant” contained sixteen electrodes, which are small objects that electricity can pass through. The researchers made sure the electrodes were lined up with nerves that control the leg muscles. The scientists controlled the implants from a tablet computer.
The patient’s brains aren’t sending “walking” messages to their legs. Instead, the tablet tells the implant to send the walking messages. The researchers used computers to generate patterns of movement, like taking a step. The patient then uses the tablet to choose the pattern and the muscles move in the chosen way. Over time, the men were able to walk using a special walker with buttons to control each leg.
The solution isn’t perfect. It’s very expensive, it requires difficult surgery, and the patients can’t walk without the system. But the scientists are hopeful that in the future, this sort of technology will allow many paralyzed people to begin to walk again in just hours.
8. What's the main function of the spinal cord
A．It serves as a message carrier. B．It helps people stand up straight.
C．It takes control of the muscles. D．It produces signals for movements.
9. What is the implanted device expected to do
A．Activate the damaged nerves. B．Identify the position of the injury.
C．Test the degree of the damage. D．Bridge the nerve gap made by the injury.
10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How the surgery is performed. B．How the device works on patients.
C．How the patients walk without aid. D．How movement patterns are designed.
11. Which can be the best title of the text
A．Damaged nerves recover after surgery.
B．Tablets are used in a medical treatment.
C．Implant helps the paralyzed walk again.
D．Scientists made a discovery on backbones.

Elephants on the coast of Thailand are acting strangely. They stamp their feet and signal (示意) towards the hills. The sea draws back from the beaches. Fish flop (扑腾) on the seabed. Suddenly, a huge wave appears. This is no ordinary wave. It is a tsunami!
Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves. A tsunami wave can travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-storey building. Imagine dropping a stone into a pool. The water on the surface ripples (起细浪). A tsunami is like a very powerful ripple. Tsunamis begin when the ocean rises or falls very suddenly. Lots of seawater is displaced. This movement causes huge waves.
If a tsunami happens, there must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to become displaced. Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes. However, volcanoes, landslides, and large icebergs can also cause one of these huge waves.
Tsunamis are extremely powerful. Ordinary waves lose power when they break. Tsunami waves can remain powerful for several days. Because tsunami waves are so strong, they can kill people, damage buildings, and completely ruin an ecosystem in just one hour.
Scientists have no way of telling people in advance when a tsunami will hit. However, if a powerful enough earthquake happens, scientists can send out a warning or a watch. A warning means that a tsunami will very likely hit soon. A watch means that conditions are suitable for a tsunami. When people receive a watch or a warning, they have more time to prepare. It is best not to get caught unaware (没意识到) when a tsunami is on the way!；
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A．Causes of tsunamis. B．Signs of tsunamis.
C．The force of tsunamis. D．The effect of tsunamis.；
13. What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Moved. B．Polluted. C．Stored. D．Lost.；
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．A warning is more serious than a watch.
B．A warning is sent out after an earthquake.
C．A watch means a tsunami may not happen.
D．A warning means a tsunami will surely happen.；
15. What is the purpose of the text
A．To tell a story. B．To provide facts.
C．To give advice. D．To compare opinions.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The alarm sounded sharply. Seven-thirty. Too early for a Saturday! And much earlier for her birthday! Rosa thought about her birthdays in hometown, when her grandmother, Abuelita, would make a cake for her, humming (哼) old songs in the kitchen.
“Rosa! Hrry!”
“Yes, Mama,” Rosa called. She wanted to stay in bed, but ever since she had turned fourteen, Saturdays here meant helping Mama at hair salon (发廊). “Where is papa ” Rosa asked. “He left an hour ago. We must go, too,” said Mama.
Rosa and Mama hurried to the bus stop. Sharing the umbrella made them hit into each other. Mama laughed. Rosa didn’t think it was funny. “I don’t like here,” she said. “I miss everything about hometown, especially Abuelita!” “I miss her too,” Mama said. “But there is more work here. We are able to send money to Abuelita.” Rosa nodded. Still, it was hard.
As Rosa arrived, the salon was already full of people. “Hello,” said Morena, Rosa’s cousin.
Rosa took the towels from a basket and started to fold (叠) them. She took a deep breath of their clean fresh smell, and was reminded again of the flowers of Abuelita. “I kept thinking about Abuelita. I miss her so much, especially today!” Rosa said. “Me, too,” Morena smiled. “But that won’t get this work done.”
Rosa carried the towels to the sinks (水池). All the chairs were filled with waiting customers. Rosa hurried over. Mama was shampooing (给…用洗发水) an old lady with a towel across her face. “Here we are. Rosa has brought you another towel.” Mama gently lifted the lady’s head and placed the towel at the base of her neck. “Better ” The woman’s face was still covered, and she didn’t speak, but she waved her hand as if to say yes.
As Mama continued, the lady hummed an old song softly.
Abuelita reached her hand into a basket and took out a homemade cake.

Looking forward to your reply.
Yours, Li Hua
As Mama continued, the lady hummed an old song softly. Hearing something familiar, Rosa stood rooted to the ground, leaning sideways to the old customer. When the shampoo was finally done, Mama helped the woman slowly sit up. The moment the towel fell away, Rosa shrieked. It was Abuelita! Rosa fell on her grandmother, laughing and crying at the same time. “When How... ” Rosa hugged her grandmother tightly. “Your hard work helped get me here, Rosa.” Abuelita was crying excitedly, too. “I have something for you.” (75 words)
Abuelita reached her hand into a basket and took out a homemade cake. “Happy Birthday, Rosa. We wanted to surprise you.” she said, her eyes sparkling with tears of happiness. Rosa gave her a kiss and then looked at her mother. “What a secret!” Mama smiled. “It was hard not to tell you this morning! Papa brought Abuelita here right from the airport. “Happy Birthday!” Morena who joined them handed Abuelita a towel to wipe the face. Rosa grinned. What an unforgettable birthday on such a different Saturday! (75 words)
