【题目】How to Survive Exam Stress

Exam time is one of the most stressful in school, whether it is high school, college or graduate school. Even the best students feel the pressure. The first sign of a problem while preparing for an exam is worry. 1 If we can get rid of worries, or at least control them, then we're in a much better position to do well on our tests. Take the following steps to survive exam stress and increase your overall performance as a result.

2 What causes you anxiety when you are studying? Too much noise? Then move to a quieter place. Delayed work? Catch up with your studies a couple nights before. That way you can save the final night before the exam to review and get a good night of sleep.

The second way to deal with worry is to displace thoughts. Suppose you wake up at three in the morning and you're worried about an exam. What do you do? 3 Doing something productive might allow you to sleep better when you finally do go back to bed.

Another way to displace negative thoughts is to do something physically active. Work out. Take a quick walk or a nice run. 4 For example, I might worry about the exam having surprise questions that I'm not prepared to answer. But I can shove those thoughts aside by reminding myself that I've taken many exams and I've handled surprise questions before.

The third option is to treat the symptoms. Keep things in perspective. Think of one final exam that causes you the most anxiety. Now think of the worst thing that could happen. If you've prepared, then likely the worst grade you could get is a C. And, if you've been applying what we've been talking about, then you'll likely to do no worse than a B. 5

A. How bad is that really?

B. The first is to delete the causes.

C. Another idea is to think positive thoughts.

D. Worry robs us of energy, focus and motivation.

E. How about getting up and studying for an hour?

F. What we should do is to think positively and get rid of it.

G. So just face the result bravely and make an effort to improve your grade.

【解析】文章对怎样化解考试压力提出了几条建议。

1D

根据前后文的句子提到worry(担忧),因此这里也是在谈论worry,故选D。

2B

结合后一句What causes you anxiety when you are studying?(当你在学习的时候,是什么让你焦虑?)以及后面的The second---The third---可知,这里是在列举建议,这一段处于第二段,所以应该是第一个建议。故选B。

3E

根据前面的Suppose you wake up at three in the morning and you're worried about an exam.(假设你在凌晨三点醒来,你担心考试。)What do you do?(你应该怎样做才能让你回去继续睡?)再根据选项可知,起床学习一个小时或许是一个好办法。故选E。

4C

根据前文Another way to displace negative thoughts is to do something physically active.(另一种取代消极思想的方法是做一些体力活。)可知,这里谈的东西是和消极思想有关的东西。故选C。

5A

根据前文you'll likely to do no worse than a B(你可能不会比B更糟。)可知,最后是想表达那真的是有很坏吗,故答案为A。

【题目】Among the teachers in my life,there is one person I called“Old Uncle”.I first met with him a decade ago when I was in primary schoo1. 1 During those rides,Old Uncle told me about his life.

2 He made a living by riding tricycles(三轮车)and raised the children on his own.His daughter gave up the chance to go to college so that the younger brother would have money to go after his future.Later on,she became a nurse at a hospital through her hard work.

For each ride,Old Uncle should charge me five yuan.However,he insisted on accepting only four from me.In our conversations,he told me to always have a good heart,to be a good student,child and person. 3 More movingly,every time he took me to school,he asked whether I had eaten breakfast and would try to offer me biscuits.

Old Uncle was one of the early people who led me to explore pain and suffering, unintentionally and naturally,through stories and giving.He didn’t complain(抱怨)about the hardships he had suffered in life.4 Ten years later as I thought back to the scene,I came to realize that Old Uncle and I shared space,and connected through our spirit.5

A.I knew that Old Uncle lived a difficult life.

B.Old Uncle would pay the price for his behavior.

C.He took me to school in his tricycle every morning.

D.Old Uncle guided me to see the beauty of human nature.

E.Instead,he shared peacefully as if they weren’t happening on him.
