第二部分阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。

A

Schools are taking exam anxiety more seriously now because tests have become very important in determining their performance under the federal No Child Left Behind law. Research suggests that students do better when they're relaxed and in a good mood.

Craft was one of about 800 l0th-graders around the country who participated last year in the study by the California-based institute of Heart Math. It found that 55% of l0th-graders often had high levels of test anxiety and their scores were lower than those of students who used the company's techniques to improve relaxation and mood,

This year states must start testing children on math and reading in Grade 3 through 8 under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, which also requires that students take a science test at least once in elementary, middle and high school by 2013-2014.

Bowers is director of counseling for Tucson Unified School District, where some

3

schools use a program called Brain Gym. The program teaches children to take deep

breathing exercises to relax and focus on good memories using a series of movements

also designed to improve, blood flow to the brain.

The idea of programs like Heart Math and Brain Gym is to get participants' minds

working efficiently. “It has worked well at East Side Charter School in Willington,

Delaware. Once they started using Heart math, many children at the K-7 school have

been able to reduce exam solicitude, as a result,math and reading score improved."

said Bowers. “They are taught to be in a pleasant place... to breathe deeply arid

slowly. And, close their eyes and imagine something they love like going with their

grandfather to the ice cream store.”Payyon says.The HeartMath I nstitute also

suggests getting at least eight hours of sleep the night before a test and having

a healthy breakfast that morning.

41. What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably mean?

A. Chances.

B. Anxiety.

C. Grades.

D. Content.

42. What relaxation techniques should we take to lower exam anxiety?

A. Taking deep breathing and recalling movement exercises.

B. Getting students' minds working efficiently by more tests.

C. Advising students to get more sleep before a test.

D. Making students take a test in a pleasant place.

43. What's American schools' main purpose to introduce relaxation techniques?

A. To make an advertisement for a company.

B. To introduce a program called Brain Gym.

C. To improve the students' test scores.

D. To reduce examination anxiety of students.

44. What does the underlined word 'it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The Institute

B. The country

C. The study

D. Craft

45. According to the passage. Bowers' attitude towards the programs is ______.

A. skeptical

B. neutral

C. casual

D. supportive

B

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later

found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career,

there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with

a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term

regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your

personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few

of those main areas;

1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?

There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also

interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes

in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions

that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the

middle who adapts easily to either situation.

4

5 2) How do you handle change?

Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.

3) Do you enjoy working with computers ？

I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.

4) What type of work environment do you enjoy ？

This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.

5) How do you like to get paid?

Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.

Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.

46. What is unnecessary in your job hunting?

A. Assessing your skills

B. Going to different areas

C. Matching your skills with a position

D. taking your personality into consideration

47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.

B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.

C. Extreme people tend to work with others.

D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.

48. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?

A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with

your position

B. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the

position when you select job.

C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position

when you select job.

D. You should ignore your skills when you select job.

49. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart? A. Design. B. Changes. C. Cooperation. D. Hobbies.

skills Jobs

Environment Motivation

Stability

?

C

I began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.

“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.

“ None.”

“ Where did you go?”

“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

“ What did you do?”

“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

“ You just stood there?”

“ Didn’t sell a single one.”

“ My God, Russell!”

Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.

Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

51. Why did the boy start his job young?

A. He wanted to be famous in the future.

B. The job was quite easy for him.

C. His mother had high hopes for him.

D. The competition for the job was fierce.

52. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.

A. excited

B. interested

C. ashamed

D. disappointed

53. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?

A. She forced him to continue.

B. She punished him.
