A

I’d like to share my unforgettable experience with you. Believe it or not, it was a real happening.

We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, "You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you boys are in a band(乐队)?”We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes." So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn't know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse(倒车), stopping a few feet behind our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn't know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman's voice came over his loudspeaker. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90." The policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance(演出), and sent us on our way without a ticket.

56. The policeman stopped the boys to ________.

A. put them into prison B. give them a ticket

C. enjoy their performance D. ask some band questions

57. The policeman became friendly to the boys when he knew they ________.

A. had long been at the band B. played the music he loved

C. were driving for a show D. promised him a performance

A. joyful B. calm C. nervous D. frightened

Most rain forests lie to the equator(赤道), where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of sunshine. The warmth of the land heats the air above, causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain. The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year. This wet, warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow, so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round. The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate. They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves. The wet air then forms clouds, which hang over the treetops like smoke. These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and night-time cold of nearby deserts, keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.

Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm, but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls. Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon(雨季) begins. Thus these areas are known as the "monsoon forest".

Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains. It is often called the "cloud forest" because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.

The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees. Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds. When the fruits are eaten, the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals' stomachs and are passed out in their droppings. The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.

59. The climate of the rain forests near the equator is __________ .

A. mild, wet and windy B. hot, rainy and foggy

A. tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest

B. there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains

C. clouds help the plants in the rain forests near the deserts to grow

D. the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees

61. According to the passage, __________ play the most important role in the spreading of seeds.

A. animals B. droppings C. fruits D. winds

62. This passage is most likely to be found in__________.

Do you blank out, freeze up or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions you knew just the night before? If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety. But don't worry. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it.

Believe it or not, a bit of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under pressure, the body releases (释放) the hormone adrenaline (肾上腺素), which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel hot or even sick.

If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative(负面的) experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety. When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to "STOP!" This will get your mind off the pressure.

Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help you become confident.

Talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a good reason. For example: "I've studied hard and I know the material, so I'm ready to do the best I can."

Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities.

Last but not least, start test preparation early——three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all, good study habits and skills——for example, time management and note-taking —— will give you the feeling that you are in control.

67. According to the text, people who ________ are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety.

A. worry a lot or are perfectionists B. prepare poorly for a test

C. have failed in tests before D. all of above

68. Which of the following is NOT the way to beat nerves according to the author?

A. Stop what you are doing and try to relax. B. Talk to your teacher or friends.

C. Make a full test preparation early. D. Learn to accept mistakes.

A. test anxiety makes you fail to work out the problems that are really difficult.

B. a little of test anxiety might be helpful to some students.

C. some students can't sleep well before the test.

D. some students fail in the test because of anxiety.

70. What would be the best title for the text?

A. What is test anxiety. B. Why we have test anxiety.
