Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Being successful in an exam is not just about studying hard and knowing the subject inside out. 1

Research has shown that the calmer the mind, the better its ability to register and remember information. 2 When the mind is relaxed, it is in the "state of alpha", where your brain waves are at about seven to fourteen cycles per second, the most helpful state for studying.

Choose a quiet place for studying and have everything handy that you need: books, pens, something to drink. 3 In this case, you can see yourself being congratulated by your family, friends and teachers. Enjoy the experience. And now you should be completely charged up and ready to absorb and keep important information.

4 It is a good idea to make a list of all the important things you have to learn, in order of importance, and estimate how much time you need for each one. Add it all up and compare this with how much time you have available. This will tell you if you have time to read slowly and carefully, or if you can only skim; also it will show you how many times you can afford to look over the same information.

Because stress can have a negative effect on your memory, it’s important to stay calm during tests. 5 Breathing exercises during the examination, for example, can be extremely effective in helping you relax and reverse your stress response: just take deep breaths, and let the stress coe out when you exhale(呼气).

A. Learn to both read between lines and skim.

B. Ensure that you sleep and eat well before a test.

C. Relax your body and mind and imagine the day of the results.

D. There are some stress relief techniques that can help to calm you down.

E. There are other things that you can do to help ensure you get good grades.

F. Every time you sit down to study, give yourself five minutes to calm your mind.

G. Depending on what you want to study, and how much you have to cover, plan your time.

【解析】

【文章大意】这是一篇说明文，文章简要地向读者介绍了几种复习迎考的策略。

【1】 从文章篇章结构分析，本空应选择一个起承上启下作用的句子，故E项＂There are other things that you can do to help ensure you get good grades＂(还有其他你可以做的事情，以帮助确保你能取得好成绩)符合语境。

【2】 根据第二段中的＂the calmer the mind, the better its ability＂ ＂When the mind is relaxed＂可知，本段的内容是有关放松大脑的。故F项＂Every time you sit down to study, give yourself five minutes to calm your mind＂(你每次坐下来学习的时候，给自己五分钟的时间来放松你的大脑)符合语境。

【3】 根据第三段中的＂In this case, you can see yourself being congratulated by your family, friends and teachers＂可知，空处应是有关想象的内容。故C项＂Relax your body and mind and imagine the day of the results＂(放松你的身体和大脑，想象一下出结果的那天)符合语境。

【4】 根据本段中的＂Add it all up and compare this with how much time you have available. This will tell you if you have time to read...＂可知，本段强调的是＂合理安排时间＂方面的内容。故G项＂Depending on what you want to study, and how much you have to cover, plan your time＂(根据你想要学习的东西和你要处理的东西的多少来安排你的时间)符合语境。

【5】根据空后的＂Breathing exercises during the examination, for example, can be extremely effective in helping you relax and reverse your stress response: just take deep breaths, and let the stress come out when you exhale(呼气)＂可知，此处强调舒缓压力的技巧。故D项＂There are some stress relief techniques that can help to calm you down＂(有一些缓解压力的技巧可以帮助你冷静下来)符合语境。
