1、Stress Lessen CourseDoreen Sykora is now a juniｏｒat McGill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, "I was always well prepared fｏｒmy examinations. But I would go in to class to take the exam, ａｎｄ　I would fall apart. I could not answer the questions correctly-even though I knew the answers! I would just blank out because of nervousness ａｎｄ　fear". Histoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences. These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because when a student worries ａｎｄ　is stressed about a test, his ｏｒher mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write ｏｒthink clearly because of the severe tension ａｎｄ　nervousness. Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors ａｎｄ　psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress ａｎｄ　not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test. Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. "Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly ａｎｄ　carefully. I breathe easily ａｎｄ　let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I\'m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well". FｏｒHistoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more ａｎｄ　learning more. These are signs of test anxiety EXCEPT____.【单选题】

A.worries about a test

B.stressed about a test

C.low grades ａｎｄ　poｏｒstudy habits

D.nervousness during the test

正确答案:C

答案解析:第1段讲述了两个学生的详细情况，出于对考试的担心、压力、紧张，使得他们难以考好。如果是成绩不好、学习习惯不好，即便不紧张也是考不好的。因此C是答案。

2、Walking to Exercise the BrainDo you think sitting ａｎｄ　studying all the time will improve students grades? Think again. Getting some exercise may help, too.New research with older people suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if they didn\'t exercise.Previous research had shown that mice learn, remember ａｎｄ　pay attention better after a few weeks of working out on a running wheel. Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who don\'t. Their brain cells also make more connections.Neuroscientists (神经科学家) from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign wanted to find out if the same thing is true fｏｒpeople. First, they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults, ages 58 to 77, after each person walked I mile. Then, participants looked at arrows on a computer screen ａｎｄ　had to use computer keys to show which way one particular arrow was pointing.Adults who were physically fit were faster at the arrow task, ａｎｄ　their answers were just as accurate as their less - fit peers, the researchers found. The fitter participants also had more blood flow to a part of their brain responsible fｏｒpaying attention ａｎｄ　making decisions.In a second study, 15 elderly people who completed a 6 - month aerobic - training (有氧运动) course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching ａｎｄ　toning (韵律操) exercises fｏｒthe same amount of time.So, even going fｏｒa walk every 2 ｏｒ3 days fｏｒjust 10 to 45 minutes can help. That should be good news fｏｒthe elderly.The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven\'t been studied yet. Still, it can\'t hurt to take occasional breaks ａｎｄ　go fｏｒa walk ｏｒrun around with friends. Whatever you do, though, don\'t try to read ａｎｄ　walk at the same time. You could end up hurting yourself!It can be good fｏｒhealth when one takes a walk every 2 ｏｒ3 days fｏｒat least ______.【单选题】

A.3 minutes

B.45 minutes

C.30 minutes

D.10 minutes

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真阅读文章。答案依据在文章第七段。带着题干信息词回到文章定位。第七段第一句谈到，每两三天出去散步10到45分钟会对健康有益，回来看选项，很明显，D是近义解释，是答案。

3、Dairy Price-fixing ScandalTesco is preparing a legal battle to clear its name of involvement in the dairy price-fixing scandal that has cost consumers ￡270 million. Failure to prove that it had no part in collusion with other supermarkets ａｎｄ　dairy processors may lａｎｄ　it with a fine of at least ￡80 million. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) said yesterday that Asda, Sainsbury\'s ａｎｄ　the former Safeway, plus the dairy companies Wiseman, Dairy Crest ａｎｄ　Cheese Company, had admitted being in a cartel to fix prices fｏｒmilk, butter ａｎｄ　cheese. They were fined a total of just over ￡116 million as part of a leniency deal offered by the watchdog to companies that owned up quickly to anti-competitive behaviour.Officials at the OFT admitted privately that they did not think they would ever discover which company ｏｒindividual had initiated the pricing formula. But the watchdog recognises that at the time supermarkets were under pressure from politicians ａｎｄ　farmers to raise the cost of milk to save dairy farming, though it is not certain that money found its way to farmers. The OFT claimed in September that it had found evidence that the retail chains had passed future milk prices to dairy companies, which then reached a fixed price among themselves.The average cost to each household is thought to be ￡11.25 over 2002 ａｎｄ　2003, Prices went up an extra 3p on a pint of milk, 15p on a quarter of a pound of butter ａｎｄ　15p on a half pound of cheese. There is no direct recompense fｏｒconsumers, however, ａｎｄ　the money will go to the Treasury. The National Consumer Council gave warning that the admissions would dent consumer confidence in leading high street names ａｎｄ　that people would become sceptical of their claims. Farmers fｏｒAction, theｇｒｏｕｐof farmers that has led protests over low milk prices since 2000, is seeking legal advice on whether it can now bring a claim fｏｒcompensation.The OFT investigation is continuing, however, in relation to Tesco, Morrisons ａｎｄ　the dairyｇｒｏｕｐLactalis McLelland, ａｎｄ　any legal action is expected to be delayed until that is completed. Tesco was defiant ａｎｄ　said that it was preparing a robust defence of its actions. Lucy Neville-Rolfe, its executive director, said: "As we have always said, we acted independently ａｎｄ　we did not collude with anyone. Our position is different from our competitors ａｎｄ　we are defending our own case vigorously. Our philosophy is to give a good deal to customers."Morrisons has supported the OFT in inquiries into the former safeway business that it took over, but in a statement said that it was still making "strong representations" in its defence. A spokeswoman fｏｒLactalis McLellａｎｄ　said that the company was "co-operating" with the OFT. Industry insiders suggested that the three companies were deliberately stalling the OFT investigation.Sainsbury\'s admitted yesterday that it had agreed to pay ￡26 million in fines, but denied that it had sought to profiteer. Justin King, the chief executive, said he was disappointed that the company had been penalised fｏｒactions meant to help farmers but recognised the benefit of a speedy settlement. Asda declined to say how much it would pay in fines ａｎｄ　also said that its intention had been to help farmers under severe financial pressure.We may infer from Morrisons\' statement that ______.【单选题】

A.Morrisons was uncooperative with OFT

B.Morrisons was reluctant to support the inquiries into the former safeway business

C.Morrisons was trying to delay the OFT investigation

D.Morrisons was working hard to defend its interests

正确答案:D

答案解析:推理题。注意句中but表示的转折关系。行动上是一种合作态度，但还是要竭力维护自己的利益，故正确答案为D。

5、Arctic MeltEarth\'s North ａｎｄ　South Poles are famous fｏｒbeing cold ａｎｄ　icy. Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean (北冰群) fell to a record low.Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter ａｎｄ　shrinks(缩小) during the summer. But fｏｒmany years, the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining.Since 1979, each decade has seen an 11.4 percent ｄｒｅｐin end of summer ice cover. Between 1981 ａｎｄ　2000, ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thickness, becoming 1.13 meters thinner.Last summer, Arctic sea ice reached its thinnest levels. By the end of summer 2007, the ice had shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers. That\'s 38 percent less area than the average cover at that time of year. ａｎｄ　it\'s a very large 23 percent below the previous record low, which was ｓｅｔjust 2 years ago. This continuing trend has made scientists concerned to.There may be several reasons fｏｒthe ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer (海洋学家)at the University of Washington in Seattle. Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic, leaving a large area of thin ice ａｎｄ　open water.Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past. Clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean. The extra heat warms both the water ａｎｄ　the atmosphere. In parts of the Arctic Ocean last year, surface temperatures were 3.57 Celsius warmer than the average ａｎｄ　1.5c warmer than the previous record.With both air ａｎｄ　water getting warmer, the ice is melting from both above ａｎｄ　below. In some parts of the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska ａｎｄ　western Canada, ice that measured 3.3 meters thick at the beginning of the summer was measured just 50 cm by season\'s endThe new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than the thinking of scientists. Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend.By the end of summer 2007 the ice cover in the Arctic was ______【单选题】

A.38 million square kilometers

B.4.2 million square kilometers

C.1.13 million square kilometers

D.11.4 million square kilometers

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度不大，答案依据比较明显，文章第四段第二句谈到了，到2007年夏季结束时，冰层缩减至仅覆盖420万平方公里，所以答案是B。
