In 1867, Caroline Shawk Brooks and her husband, Samuel, had a farm in Arkansas. Life on the farm was not easy. From sunrise to sunset, Caroline and Samuel milked cows, gardened, and picked cotton. This left Caroline no time for her dream of becoming an artist.
Time was not the only problem. Money was a worry too. The cotton crops were failing. What could Caroline and Samuel do?
Caroline decided to make butter (黄油) from their cows’milk and sell it at market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest? This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑). She used many different tools, such as butter paddles (搅拌器的浆叶), broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a shallow tin pan, which sat in a larger tin pan filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture from melting.
Caroline’s butter sculptures were a hit. Before long, she was displaying them at fairs and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair.
Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She eventually opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble sculptures, some of which were shown at the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago.
But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter a superior material to work with. At the 1893 fair, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.
Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor.

Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
8. What may the students start worrying about before an exam?
A. Whether they can pass the exams.
B. What other students do during the test.
C. Whether they have remembered the materials.
D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
9. What is the solution developed by the two researchers?
A. Asking the students to think nothing of the test.
B. Asking the students to focus on the test.
C. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
D. Asking the students to write about their worries before the test.
10. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test_____.
A. became less nervous before the test.
B. were better at controlling their feelings.
C. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings.
D. did better than those who took two tests.
11. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Writing about worries before an exam can work a bit.
B. Studying in the library can improve students’ performance.
C. Students can only write about worries right before an exam.
D. It doesn’t matter where to write about worries before an exam.

A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to cleanup floating (浮动的) plastic from the Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device (设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans.
Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is to develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device which is called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun. “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the world’s oceans,” said Slat. Three of the machines have already been used. Each machine costs about $775, 660, but the cost might drop as production increases.
Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this done, we could truly make our oceans again, ”said Slat.
The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device. The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers. The devices ends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full.
12. What do we know about Interceptor?
A. It needs solar power to work. B. It is mainly used in the oceans.
C. It is being under test. D. It can help sort waste.
13. What does “the tap” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A. The waste. B. The oceans.
C. The machines. D. The rivers.
14. What’s the function of the device’s nose?
A. To ensure the device’s safety. B. To send operators text messages.
C. To empty the waste. D. To serve as containers.
15. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A novel. B. A magazine.
C. A diary. D. A guidebook.

In 1867, Caroline Shawk Brooks and her husband, Samuel, had a farm in Arkansas. Life on the farm was not easy. From sunrise to sunset, Caroline and Samuel milked cows, gardened, and picked cotton. This left Caroline no time for her dream of becoming an artist.

This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑).

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Caroline decided to make butter (黄油) from their cows’milk and sell it at market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest? This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑).(卡洛琳决定用他们家的牛奶制作黄油,并在市场上出售。但其他农场也生产和销售黄油。卡洛琳是怎么把她的黄油和其他的区别开来的?卡洛琳的艺术天赋就在这里发挥了。为了吸引人们对她的黄油的关注,她开始制作小型黄油雕塑)”可知,卡洛琳做黄油雕塑是为了让她的黄油在市场上脱颖而出。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“She used many different tools, such as butter paddles (搅拌器的浆叶), broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a shallow tin pan, which sat in a larger tin pan filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture from melting.(她使用了许多不同的工具,比如黄油桨、扫帚秆和树枝。她还把黄油放在一个浅锡锅里,浅锡锅放在一个更大的装满冰的锡锅里,以防止黄油雕塑融化)”可知,冰被用来保持黄油雕塑的形状。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Caroline’s butter sculptures were a hit. Before long, she was displaying them at fairs and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair.(卡洛琳的黄油雕塑很受欢迎。没过多久,她就在集市和展览会上展出了。她最大的黄油雕塑之一是真人大小的雕像,名为《黄油的研究》。它被一路运到巴黎参加1878年的世界博览会)”以及第五段“Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石).

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter a superior material to work with. At the 1893 fair, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.(但卡洛琳从未停止制作黄油艺术品。她认为黄油是一种绝好的材料。在1893年的博览会上,她还用克里斯托弗·哥伦布的雕塑展示了她的黄油技术)”以及最后一段“Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor.(卡洛琳·肖克·布鲁克斯于1913年在密苏里州的圣路易斯去世。她被认为是美国第一个著名的黄油雕刻家)”纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了Caroline Shawk Brooks 是美国第一位黄油雕塑家,她在农场生活中发展了她的艺术才能,并在展览会和世界博览会上展示了她的作品,所以D项“The Butter Artist.(黄油艺术家)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。

Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
8. What may the students start worrying about before an exam?
A. Whether they can pass the exams.
B. What other students do during the test.
C. Whether they have remembered the materials.
D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
9. What is the solution developed by the two researchers?
A Asking the students to think nothing of the test.
B. Asking the students to focus on the test.
C. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
D Asking the students to write about their worries before the test.
10. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test_____.
A. became less nervous before the test.
B. were better at controlling their feelings.
C. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings.
D. did better than those who took two tests.
11. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Writing about worries before an exam can work a bit.
B. Studying in the library can improve students’ performance.
C. Students can only write about worries right before an exam.
D. It doesn’t matter where to write about worries before an exam.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明让极度焦虑的考生在考试前写下他们的担忧可以提高他们在考试中的表现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Some students get so nervous before a test.”(有些学生在考试前非常紧张。)和“The students start worrying about the results.”(学生们开始担心结果。)可知,有些学生在考试前非常紧张,他们开始担心考试结果,由此可知,考试前,学生们可能会开始担心他们能否通过考试。故选A项。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.”(接下来,研究人员在生物课上使用了年龄较小的学生。他们在期末考试前告诉学生,要么写下自己的感受,要么思考与考试无关的事情。Beilock教授说,写了自己感受的极度焦虑的学生,平均成绩为B+,而没有写的学生平均成绩为B-。)可知,思考与考试无关的事情的学生平均成绩为B-,写了自己感受的学生平均成绩为B+,由此可知,根据Beilock教授的说法,那些思考与测试无关事情的人的表现比那些写下自己感受的人差。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.”(但是,如果学生没有机会在考试前立即写下他们的恐惧,该怎么办?Beilock教授说,学生们可以在家里或图书馆自己尝试,但仍能提高他们的表现。)可知,学生也可以在家里或图书馆自己尝试写下感受,仍能提高他们的表现,由此可知,从最后一段可以得知考试前在哪里写下担忧并不重要。故选D项。

A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to cleanup floating (浮动的) plastic from the Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device (设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans.
Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is to develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device which is called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun. “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the world’s oceans,” said Slat. Three of the machines have already been used. Each machine costs about $775, 660, but the cost might drop as production increases.
Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this done, we could truly make our oceans again, ”said Slat.
The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device. The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers. The devices ends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full.
12. What do we know about Interceptor?
A. It needs solar power to work. B. It is mainly used in the oceans.
C. It is being under test. D. It can help sort waste.
13. What does “the tap” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A. The waste. B. The oceans.
C. The machines. D. The rivers.
14. What’s the function of the device’s nose?
A. To ensure the device’s safety. B. To send operators text messages.
C. To empty the waste. D. To serve as containers.
15. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A novel. B. A magazine.
C. A diary. D. A guidebook.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun.(去年,Slat展示了下一步:一个被称为Interceptor的浮动设备。它能清除河流中的塑料。该装置由太阳能提供动力)”可知,Interceptor需要太阳能来工作。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers.(自从这些机器被使用以来,它们在收集河里的塑料瓶和所有垃圾方面一直做得很好)”以及“which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place.(这意味着首先要防止更多的塑料流入海洋)”可知,机器清理河流里面的塑料和垃圾,可得出Slat认为有必要关闭河流,这样可以防止更多的塑料流入海洋。故the tap指的是“河流”。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things.(这种装置在河流中是安全的。它的突出部分的形状是为了改变方向,以使它远离更大的漂浮物体)”可知,这个装置的突出部分用于确保设备安全。故选A。

【答案】Dear Peter,
How is everything going on with you? Knowing you are interested in my new high school life, I am writing to tell you something about it.
It has been two months since I became a senior one student. I feel it an honor to be a student here, because there are many excellent teachers and outstanding students here. I'm also fond of the learning environment, where we have the latest teaching equipment. What upsets me is that although I have tried my best to study hard, I still find it hard to catch up with my classmates. I’m especially poor in English, so in the coming days, I'll study harder to make progress. In addition, I’ll learn to adjust to the independent life to make my parents not worry about me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you. Wish you happy!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
