21、 Most students experience a lot of stress while preparing for exams, as both their parents and teachers expect them to get high scores. Students who feel anxious are likely to experience problems like difficulty in concentrating while studying, confusion, feeling stressed while looking problems like difficulty in concentrating while studying, confusion, feeling stressed while looking at difficult questions, feeling blank, sweating, sleepless, etc. 【1】 Therefore, it’s extremely important for students to learn about how to overcome fear.
There are many students who take studies lightly, leaving everything to be studied at the last minute. As a result, when exams are around the corner, they feel scared, as they don’t know where to start, and what to study.【2】 Another common mistake that many students make is that they don’t make an effort to understand the subject. When they have memorized without understanding, the chances of forgetting are more. 【3】 In this way, you will never forget any important point. Besides, students should take regular breaks to relax and refresh their mind.
Apart from the tips above, here are some points that will help students cope with exam-related anxiety. For example, before the exam, avoid studying anything new. 【4】 During the exam, if you get blank after seeing difficult questions, ignore them for the time being, and attempt those you find easier. 【5】
A.So start studying much before the exam.
B.The first thing you should do is to set a goal.
C.It is vital to understand the concept before memorizing it.
D.Once you have completed them, go back to the difficult ones.
E.Facing such anxious problems makes students more negative.
F.Having conversations with your classmates about what they have studied.
G.Under such circumstances they end up scoring less than they could have.
22、Whenever anyone measures educational success, East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. South Korea was still in second place, though. Britain was at number 6.
In Korea the school day is longtypically 7 or 8 hours, followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. All_this_hothousing leaves Korean students so tired, they sometimes fall asleep in class next day. Worries about the effects of late night cramming (填鸭式) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 pm.Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British and American school day is quite long in comparison, around 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of selfstudy a night.
The Korean education system, like many in Asia, is intensely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools, to help them get ahead. Finnish education is far less cutthroat. Classes are all mixed ability, and there are no league tables. British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and universities battling to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction. Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different.
However, there are some similarities in Korea and Finland. In those countries, teachers have high status in society, and education is very highly valued. Those attitudes can't change quickly. But it can be done. They might be the star pupils now, but until the 1970s, Finland's educational system was poor. Their thoroughly different approach to schooling has taken them to the top in just a generation.
【1】The students spend the least time in school in ________.
A. the UK B. Finland
C. the USA D. Korea
【2】The underlined phrase “all this hothousing” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.
A. private evening tutoring
B. selfstudy at home
C. longhour study
D. school study
【3】From Paragraph 3, we can know that ________.
A. Finnish students are less stressed in study
B. there're also many cramming schools in Britain
C. students in Korea are the most competitive in Asia
D. British schools are less competitive than universities
【4】According to the author, the key to improving education is ________.
A. the attitude
B. the schooling time
C. star pupils
D. new teaching approach
23、 Ida Nelson was luxuriating in her sauna(桑拿)when she heard the thunder of a small airplane circling the nearby airport. It was 11:30 at night in the Alaskan village of Igiugig, population 70, and, as she told the New York Times, “Any time a plane flies over that late, you know something is wrong.” Nelson leaped out of the sauna, ran to the window, and saw the problem: The airport’s runway lights were out.
Nelson threw on some clothes, jumped into her ATV, and floored it to the airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights manually. “Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up,” Nelson said. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the plane’s urgent mission: It was a medevac( 医疗后送直升飞机 ), there to transport a seriously ill local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in Anchorage.
Nelson had a plan. Driving her ATV to the end of the runway, she switched her headlights on for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasn’t enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly every home in the village—32 of them. Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas( 睡衣 ). Following directions from the medevac pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway.
The medevac made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The young patient was loaded onto the aircraft, and the plane immediately took off again. Her illness was never publicly revealed, but she has since been released from the hospital.
In a world filled with uncertainty, the little community’s positive activism is a big deal. Not so much for Nelson. As she told CNN, in Igiugig, coming together is “kind of a normal deal”.
【1】Why did Nelson hurry to the airport?
A．She was late for the flight.
B．The plane was going to crash.
C．She was to aid the 70 people.
D．The runway lights might have gone wrong.
【2】What’s Nelson’s plan to help the medevac?
A．To take over the urgent mission.
B．To fix the lights along the runway.
C．To drive the patient to Anchorage.
D．To shine headlights on the runway.
【3】How did Nelson’s neighbors respond to her plan?
A．They disapproved of it.
B．They hesitated to react.
C．They took immediate action.
D．They put forward a better plan.
【4】Why is positive activism “not so much” for Nelson?
A．Because she doesn’t care about it.
B．Because she is uncertain about its value.
C．Because she is not so positive about life.
D．Because she thinks it is what villagers should do.
24、This at Home!
Are you looking for a new pastime that will create a balance between physical activity and relaxation? Then yoga may be the perfect choice for you. Yoga can be practiced by people of all ages and levels of fitness. 【1】 It’s a great way to strengthen your muscles and become more flexible.
In the 1930s, Indian Sri Tirumali and K. Pattabhi developed one of the most popular forms of yoga practiced world-wide today. They worked together using an ancient Sansknt text called Yoga Korunta to create a set routine of yoga movements and breathing exercises. 【2】
Ashtanga is different from other forms of yoga. It is a very powerful form of aerobic(有氧的) exercise which creates deep heat in the body. 【3】 In other forms of yoga, however, the routine can change each time and the stretching exercises aren’t aerobic.
【4】 As well as making you stronger and more flexible, it can also help you to stay calm. By focusing on your breathing while doing physical exercise, you are able to get a balance between mind and body. In addition, yoga helps to make us healthier so we are less likely to get common illnesses like colds.
Furthermore, yoga encourages you to think about what you’re doing. Often you will close your eyes while doing certain movements. 【5】 After a few lessons you’ll stop looking at what the others around you are doing. You will stop comparing yourself and start focusing on yourself.
A．The result of their co-operation was ashtanga yoga.
B．It can also be done anywhere at any time when you are free.
C．This allows you to concentrate better and makes you less competitive.
D．Every time someone practices ashtanga, he or she does exactly the same movements.
E．Whatever kind of yoga you decide to choose, there will be a variety of long-term benefits.
F．If you’re interested in yoga, but cannot find a class near you, then it might be an excuse to travel.
G．Recently, it has become extremely common for beginners as well as advanced yoga students to go on yoga holidays.

26、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。
Miraculous (神奇的) Strength
One chilly, December evening, I was preparing dinner. Suddenly, while setting the table, I heard a tremendous crash from the second floor. It was the kind of rare, heart-stopping noise that instantly struck fear into a mother’s heart. Even the dishes in. the kitchen cupboard rattled (发出咔嗒声)!My seven-year-old son began screaming for help, and I raced up the stairs without even stopping to put down the dinner fork I held in my hand.
Entering my son’s room, I found my frightened toddler (学步的儿童)trapped under a five-drawer wooden dresser (衣橱). It had been torn from its wall anchor. I could hear crying as I ran toward him. As I leaned over, I saw his small, bloody face and the terror in his eyes.
I pulled the large dresser off him. At that moment, I felt I could move mountains. I was fearful to look but quickly tried to assess how badly he was hurt. Begging him to stay still, I dialed 911 and began to pray. I prayed for the mercy that spared him and the healing he would need, given that I wasn’t sure of the extent of his injuries. In those minutes before the ambulance arrived, although I was in a chaotic situation with both my sons in tears, an inner calm kept me focused and controlled. I felt a strong presence keeping me steady.
After the ambulance workers conducted a brief assessment, it was agreed that he should have a more extensive examination since this was a possible chest or head injury. A moment of pause forced me to process what had just happened. I recalled dashing up the stairs with a sense of fear as t0 what 1 would find. In only a few seconds, a lifetime of tender memories replayed in my mind. I had asked myself, “Is he still breathing?” “Are bones broken?” One moment. I was simply preparing dinner; the next. I was tearfully praying for my son’s life.
