all i knew was that i needed to help my friend! i tried to borrow money from other friends but i failed. i tried selling my things but no one wanted them. then i had to talk to my boss. i asked him if i could have my next two months salary in advance without even thinking on how i would survive for two months without money. he was surprised and asked me why. i told him that i had a friend who was really in need. luckily, he gave my two months salary without hesitation! as soon as i had the money i ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. friendship may not only be found in happy moments. sometimes you can find it on the toughest time in your life!36. we can learn from paragraph 2 that the author . a. enjoyed being with his new friends b. liked to work in the new company c. had no difficulty adapting to his new life d. had much in common with his colleagues37. why did the author go to the hospital with his friend? a. to find free medical treatment for his friend. b. to have his friend admitted into the hospital. c. to pay the expenses of treatment for his friend. d. to keep him company during the operation.38. which of the following words can be used to describe the author?

a. the way to promote goods. b. the discovery of a genius. c. the team to produce a good product. d. the brand name used by successful producers.43. which of the following would be the best title for this text?a. choice of good products b. disadvantages of productsc. effect of packaging on shopping d. brand names and shopping trickscsome students get so nervous before a test, they do poorly even if they know the material. sian beilock has studied these highly anxious test-takers. sian beilock: they start worrying about the consequences. they might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. and when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. i talk about it as your cognitive (认知的) horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam. 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. sian beilock: what we think happens is when students put it down on paper, they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise the situation. they might realize its not as bad as they might think it was before and, in essence, it prevents these thoughts from popping up when theyre actually taking a test. the researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. they gave them two short math tests. after the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. the researchers added to the pressure. they told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. they also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort. professor beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. but the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent. 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. sian beilock: what we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, whod done our writing intervention (干预，介入), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. those students most prone to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don t normally get nervous in these testing situations. but what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? professor beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.44. what may happen if students have the problem of test anxiety? a. test anxiety can improve students performance to some degree. b. students attention and memory resources run out when worried. c. students may not be admitted into their favorite college if worried. d. test anxiety is sure to cause students to fail the test.45. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. in the first math test, students who sat quietly performed better. b. in the second math test, students who wrote about their feelings did worse. c. some college students are highly anxious test-takers while others are not in the tests. d. the result in the math test agrees with that in the biology test.46. what does the underlined phrase popping up mean?a. appearing suddenly. b. fading away. c. becoming clearly. d. giving out.47. what is the main idea of the passage? a. it is a common practice for students being worried before a test.b. being worried before tests does harm to students performance.c. anxious students overcome test anxiety by writing down fears.d. it is important for students to overcome test anxiety.d how could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments mostly for entertainment purposes is fair and respectful? zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. however, most zoos remain collections of interesting things rather than protective habitats (栖息地). zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. zoos claim(声称) to educate people and save endangered species(物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range (分布区). the animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs. the animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. this results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. a worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. in fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals? actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.48. in the state of zoochosis, animals . a. remain in cages b. behave strangely c. attack other animals d. enjoy moving around49. what does the author try to argue in the passage? a. zoos are not worth the public support. b. zoos fail in their attempt to save animals. c. zoos should treat animals as human beings. d. zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.50. the author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by . a. pointing out the faults in what zoos do b. using evidence he has collected at zoos c. questioning the way animals are protected d. discussing the advantages of natural habitats51. although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that . a. zoos have to keep animals in small cages b. most animals in zoos are endangered species c. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos d. its acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsethe events of saturday night in kunming are deeply engraved in the mind of
